F: Tuer was present} ON JOURNEY FROM NORTH with a proposal to purchase aj strip of the south side of Foster Street, 15 feet wide and the length of his adjoining property. The portion affected lying to the west of Latchford Street, the council considered it was not likely to be used as a thorough- fare and decided to accept Mr. Tuer's offer of $50 for the strip. It was reported that the bridge on the road to the old cemetery had been washed out and that it was impossible to drive to that place. This was referred to the A Moth plane belonging to the IN.A.M.E. called at Haileybury on Thursday evening last, piloted by J. P. Cullitom, who had been do- ing aerial work for the company in the Opemiska and Chibouga- mau districts during the early part of the summer. Mr. Culli- tom was on his way down to Go- gama, where a couple of prospec- ting parties are engaged, and dropped down here in the even- ing on account of the wind. He had intended to go on to Tema- gami, stop there a day or two 'Attempt to Save | Drowning Man Proves Futile Liskeard Citizen Drowned When Car Slips from Wharf into 25 Feet of Water 'John Adams, of New Liskeard, lwas drowned in Lake Temiska- ming at the wharf in that town on Tuesday, when his motor car slipped from the planking of the dock and went into about 25 feet of water. He had driven onto the wharf and was apparently turning around, when the car went backward down a slip. When the car was taken from the water it was found that the gears were in reverse and, al- though it was over so quickly that no one could see just how it happened, it is believed that he was turning and did not have time to reverse and run forward away from the slip. An aged workman on the wharf, who was unable to swim, saw Mr. Adams come to the sur- face shortly after he had gone down, having got out of the car. One arm was stretched up and the workman seized a loose plank and threw it towards the drown- ing man, but it did not reach him and he sank and did not again Outlines Policy in First Speech in Home District Conservative Candidate in a Brief But Telling Speech Sets' Out Platform In a brief but telling speech at Cobalt yesterday afternoon, W.A. Gordon, K.C., Consefvative can- didate in the coming election, set out his platform and claims for support in the first public appear- ance he has made in the imme- diate vicinity of his home town of Haileybury since the cam- paign opened. With him were Hon. G. How- ard Ferguson, Premier of Onta- rio, and Louis Cote,-M.P.P., of Ottawa, the latter addressing the large gathering in the French language. Dr. E. F. Armstrong, mayor of Cobalt and a former M.P., was chairman of the. meet- ing and A. J. Kennedy, M.P.P., had a seat on the platform. Mr. Gordon was given a hearty recep- tion by the hundreds of people who thronged the theatre and listened to some very compli- mentary remarks by the chair- man. The candidate paid a tribute to Premier Ferguson as the "most efficient legislator in Canada since Hon. G. Howard Ferguson is Speaker at Big Gathering Over Six Hundred People Hear Prime Minister of Ontario Talk on Election Issues in Cobalt Yesterday Afternoon in Interests of W. A. Gordon, Conservative Candidate Between six and seven hundred people packed the Classic Theatre, in Cobalt yesterday afternoon to hear Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Prime Minister of Ontario, cuss the issues of the Federal el- ection in the interests of W. A. Gordon, K.C., Conservative can- didate in the fight. Mr. Gordon and Louis Cote, M.P.P., of Otta- wa, were the other speakers and the large audience gave them all a good hearing and all were greeted with applause. The Prime Minister was pre- sented with a great bouquet of flowers, which were handed to him by a small girl, who was re- warded with a hearty kiss. In opening his address, Hon. Mr. Ferguson said that he was delighted to be in the North Country, where the people have always been kind and where he has tried to make a contribution to the development that is"zrad- ually unfolding a wonderful pic- ture and is of the greatest im- portance to the whole Dominion. It is his desire to contribute to dis-; buisness of the nation and who will see that Canadian homes are protected and that Canadians get afair chance." He appealed to his hearers to assert their rights, to protect their homes and to re- member that the country's future Was more important than that of "King, Bennett or Ferguson." It was the time of the "annual share- holders' meeting," the speaker said, when all the people had the right to demand a proper ac- counting and to analyse the af- fairs of the nation. Dealing with unempolyment, Mr. Ferguson referred to the ar- guments of Hon. Mr. Dunning in arecent speech here, when he blamed the greater part of it on the fact that only a half crop had been reaped in the West last year and that it had not sold well. The speaker said that when Mr. Dun- ning was telling about the Cana- dian wheat not being sold, he omitted to say that the Argen- tine, France and even Russia had succeeded in marketing their crops. That was .-- --ample of streets committee, with instruc- tions to have the bridge replaced. There was also some discussion over the proposed road to the new cemetery, but no action was taken. A resolution was passed ap- pointing Mr. Geo. H. Dickson to the vacancy on the High School Board, caused by the death of the late George Theu Smith, and the Finance Committee's re- port, covering the accounts of the month, was adopted. While there was nothing done in regard to the proposed new regulations covering dairies, the council was informed by the clerk that J. A. Larocque & Sons had purchased a pasteurizing plant, which had already been deliver- ed and would be in operation within a week. At the last pre- and then proceed to Gogama, but the weather held him up. Mr. Cullitom stated that there are nine machines operating in the districts where 'he had been and that it is believed by mining men that there will be important developments before the summer is over. Rumors had been cur- rent just before he left, of a big discovery in the neighborhood, but he had not learned any par- ticulars. Among the flying men ther is Capt. Pliske, well known in Haileybury, who last year had a serious crash into the wharf here. lie aE SS Mr. and Mrs. H.C. Pethick of Mimico, and Mrs. Leitch, of Ham- ilton, are visiting Mrs. A.

Mr. Adams had been a resident of New Liskeard for five or six years. He was local agent for the Confederation Life Insurance Company and was well known. He had for some years taken an active interest in the Board of Confederation" and one who had done more than any other man for the development of the North Country. He told the audience that his reason for entering the contest was his conviction that (Continued on Page 5) Trade, of which he had been the secretary, and other public af- fairs.

Malcolm, wealthy furniture manufacturer and Minister of Trade and Commerce, talks eloquently about the pre- ferences that have been extended to Britain. It is worth noting, however, that these preferences failed to include Mr. James Mal- colm's furniture. The duty on it is 42 per cent. KOK OK OK Kk WORDS WHEN THEY WANT WORK (Extract from the Mail and Empire) __ The Winnipeg Tribune observes editorially; "The Prime Min- ister used several thousand words in explaining his position on un- employment. Against all his explanations the fact stands out that Winnipeg has spent several thousand dollars on meal tickets for jobless men in the past eight months and cannot get a nickel out of the Federal Government to aid in this necessary relief, even though the Federal Government is almost wholly responsible for the situation and Winnipeg has no responsibility for it at all." * OK OK OK Ok Ok THE KING GOVERNMENT AND TAXATION (Extract from the Ottawa Journal) A favorite theme of Ministerial orators is that the King Goy- ernment has reduced taxation. The truth is that Mr. King's Government has taxed more money out of the pockets of the peo- ple of this country, than any government in its history. Here, so far as Ontario is concerned, are the plain, official facts, compiled from the Canada Year Book, an official publication issued under the authority of the Hon. James Malcolm: é 1. The King Government during its eight and a half years' administration has collected from Ontario more than all preceding Conservative. Governments (including Union) combined during their total thirty-five years in office. The King Government has collected from the people of Ontario $318,437,483 more taxes in eight years than the people of Ontario were asked to pay under Conservative government in a similar eight-year period from 1914-1922 by the Government of Sir Robert Borden and Arthur Meighen. The King Government has imposed on the head of every Ontario family of five a total tax levy in eight years of $1,452 against the Conservative's levy of $1.073 during the eight years before the King regime. For every dollar of taxes collected from the people of Ontario by the Conservative Government of Premier G. Howard Ferguson during his seven years' administration, Mr. King has collected five dollars. _ Taxation is not one of the outstanding issues of the campaign. Since, however, Liberal speakers persist in discussing, it, it is wel] to examine the facts. \ / CES oy os a WHAT HAS DUNNING BUDGET DONE TO HELP YOU? (Extract from the Toronto Telegram) The question that was asked when the Dunning Budget was (Continued on Page 4) Everybody Should Hear NEW LISKEARD Empire Theatre this development that has kept him in public life, he said. He expressed his gratification to find Mr. Gordon proffering his ser- vices, declaring there was no candidate with a greater grasp of public issues or possessed of more constructive ideas. He was a "great giant of strength and in- tellect" and what better "cabinet timber" could be found anywhere Mr. Ferguson asked. The main issue in the present campaign is Canadian homes and the right to maintain them ac- cording to proper standards is what the Conservative party is fighting for, the Prime Minister said. A nation is just an aggre- gation of homes and the ;fewer there are the less happy and pros- perous is the country. A fight to hold what we have and increase and build up the homes is what we are engaged in, and this can only be done through labor. Never inthe last 50 years, the speaker said, has there been such serious difficulty in finding- work or such a general depression. This, Mr. Ferguson holds, is the direct result of unwise legislation and the only remedy is to change the statutes which have brought about such a condition. Premier King had said at the outset of the campaign that there was no ser- ious unemployment, but had been forced to recognize the true sit- uation. He had been greeted at Edmonton by hundreds of people who demanded, not charity, but only employment that would en- able them to live,.and the only remedy suggested was a confer- ence to discuss the situation. "There is nothing the matter with the country," Mr. Ferguson stated. "All that is required is someone at the head of affairs who can properly administer the Fair and warm today; becom- ing unsettled with local thunder- storms tonight and Friday.
