-yHE HAILEYBURIAN | Vol. 26; No. 16 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 24th, 1930 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per yea1 Mining School Contract Went to Lowest Bidder W. A. Gordon Answers Criticisms of Political Opponents Who Claimed Work Should Have Only Sane Business In his speech at a big gather- ing inthe Broadway Theatre here last night, W. A. Gordon, Conser- vative candidate, replied to criti- cisms that had been levelled at the High School Board for their action in giving the contract for the new mining school to an out- side firm. He declared that in his conduct of any public business the same principles were applied as in his private affairs and that the contract had been let to the lowest bidder, in accord with recognized practice. He was sorry, he said, that a local con- tractor had not secured the job, but with a difference of some $6,000 in the tenders, the Advis- ory Board only took the proper action, and he was not at the meeting when the contract was let. Mr. Gordon explained some of the preliminary steps that had been taken in connection with the new school, making it clear that the Department of Education was paying 75 per cent. of the cost of the building and equipment and that the cost of the debentures to the town would be $1,000 per year. The Board had secured an increased grant from the De- partment for the increased edu- cational facilities that will be provided, bringing the amount to $10,000 per year, instead of $7,000 as at present. This would take care of the increased expenditure involved, without extra cost te the town. This affair, Mr. Gordon said, should never have entered the political fight, but it had been dragged in by his opponents and required the explanation. He add- ed that the local contractor who had been unsuccessful in securing the job was supporting him in the election, "hook, line and sink- er.4 * ' Mr. Gordon wentanto the poli- tical situation at some length and placed before the audience the reasons why he was in the present fight. He gave his hear- ers a laugh when he said that they were "at least stirring the Liberal Government out of its lethargy" and that there had been more Cabinet Ministers seen in this district during the past three weeks than for the previous 30 years. He had assistance for a short time from Premier Fergu- son, he said, and again from Hon. Been Done by Local Man Methods Applied Chas. McCrea for a couple of jhours, but with these exceptions, jhe and his local friends had been | "taking them all on as they came jand doing very well." | Tariff matters and the unem- jployment situation formed the !greater part of Mr. Gordon's ad- ,dress in what he said would probably be his last opportunity to talk to the people of his home town before the election. He went thoroughly into the Dun- ning budget as it affected both home and foreign trade, the im- migration question and its bear- ing on unemployment, and the history of the Conservative party since the inception of the old National Policy of Sir John A. Macdonald. He objected to the control of Canadian tariff being handed over to other countries, to the continued influx of immi- grants from Central Europe and to the indifference until a few weeks ago of the Prime Minister to the question of unemployment, declaring that it was only when it was forced upon him that Mr. King commenced to give it any thought. He painted a ludicrous picture of the Liberal Prime Minister "cementing the bonds of Empire" with a list of some of the articles in the British prefer- ence, which never had and never would be imported from Britain. In concluding his address, Mr. Gordon said that he was just mak- ing one promise, that if elected on Monday the next four years of his life would be devoted to the service of the people of Tem- iskaming, and to the people of all Canada, without regard to politics, race or creed. The candidate was given a great reception when he entered, and three cheers at the close of his address. eS aes C. V.

Ernest Lapointe, Minister | of Justice in the King Govern- ment spoke at two meetings in this district on Friday last, in the interests of Mac. Lang, Lib- eral candidate. The -meetings were held in Cobalt and New Liskeard, the Minister addressing the Liskeard meeting first, later going to Cobalt. There were large audiences in both places and the candidate himself spoke briefly. Other speakers included Mr. Dan Lang, Mrs. J. C. Hous- ton, Jos. Gorman and R. S. Tay- lor, who presided at the Cobalt meeting. Dealing with trade and _ tariff matters, Mr. Lapointe said that the theory of a home market for Canadian products was a "snare and a delusion," and that the peo- ple do not consume 25 per cent. of the products of the country. Foreign trade was the lifeblood of the Dominion, and the Dun- ning budget, which the Minister of Justice declared was the real issue in the campaign, was based on the traditional Liberal policy of reciprocity and British prefer- ence. The Minister reviewed the fi- nancial record of the government and promised that the sales tax would be removed at the next session of parliament if the Lib- eral government was returned to power, an outcome of which he had no doubt. This, he said, would save the people of Canada $22,000,000 in a year and would| alleviate the burden which had been placed on all manufactures which have to do with production | since the war. Changes made in| the tariff, he declared, had bene- fitted all, without crippling any industry and he ridiculed the claim of the Conservatives that the country was suffering in way. Hon. Mr. Lapointe referred to} the forthcoming economic con- ference in London and stated that | (Continued on Page 4) Inone of the other governments | Town is Divided Into Six Parts For Big Contest Minister of Justice Speaks at | List of Polling Places Below Cobalt and New Liskeard \ Shows Where to Vote in Monday's Election Below is given a list of the 'polling places in Haileybury, as set out in the official notice of the Returning Officer.

Prominent Speakers from Over 23,000 Voters i With the election day coming on; Monday next, both political par-| ties in this riding are putting in| some strenuous days to wind up, the campaign. Prominent speak-) ers of both sides have been in{ the constituency this week and: guments that might be consider- ed as instrumental in swinging the vote to their own party. Hon. Chas. McCrea, Minister; of Mines in the Ontario Legisla- ture, was the chief speaker at a} rally here last night in the inter- ests of W. A. Gordon and will ap- pear in one or two other places before the week is out. The Liberals have A. G. Slaght, K.C., well known in the North Country and a former resident of Haileybury, for the final week in the interests of Mac. Lang. Meetings at which Mr. Slaght has been the chief speaker were held at Kirkland Lake on Mon- day, at Boston Creek on Tuesday and at Charlton yesterday. Although the constituency is widespread, both candidates have visited almost every corner of it where there are a few voters, in addition to holding meetings at practically all the larger centres. There are over 23,000 voters in the riding, which stretches from Tomiko on the south, to Seseki- nika on the north and from Mil- net on the west to Cheminis on the east. There are 123 polling places on the list, which has been printed this week, with two ad- vance polls, making 125 in all. The advance polls will be held at Englehart and Capreol and will be open from 7 to 19 this evening and tomorrow evening, have brought to bear all the ar-,m Politicians Speeding up as Election Day Approaches Both Sides Working Hard During Final Week of Campaign with Outside Riding Helping out n the Constituency The voters at these polls will be largely railways employees. The largest number of voters in any one section of the riding is in the Township of Teck, where there are over 4,000 on the lists. The next is the Cobalt and Cole- an section, with some 2,500, and the other towns and townships have lesser numbers. All have increased to some extent since the last Federal election. There are 1,000 voters in Caperol. In Haileybury the campaign has been quite earnest on both sides, but it has been kept free of bitterness. With both candi- dates well known citizens of the town, there is great satisfaction in this to everyone and when the fight is over there will be no hard feelings. | However, the closing days will see some hard work on both sides and there is little pos- sibility of any voter being over-]- looked, if it is possible at all for him or her to get to the polls.

Chas. McCrea, Minister jot Mines in the Onario Govern- ment, was the chief speaker at a big Conservative rally in the Broadway Theatre here last night, outlined the reasons why members of the provincial cabinet have entered the Federal fight in the Conservative interests. He saw in the departure of the Lib- eral Government at Ottawa from the old National Policy, inaugur- ated in 1878 by Sir John A. Mac- donald, and carried on under Sir Wilfrid Laurier, a great danger to the future prosperity of Can- ada and in order to protect the interests of the province, he urg- ed that a change should be made and the Conservative party, un- der Hon. R. B. Bennett, be placed at the head of the country's af- fairs. Mr. A. K .Roberts, formerly of Cobalt, and Dr. E. F. Armstrong, mayor of the silver town and a former M.P., and the candidate, W. A. Gordon, K.C., were the other speakers. Mr. R. D. Cum- ming, Haileybury barrister, was chairman and the theatre was packed to the doors. This was the first and perhaps the only meeting to be held by the Con- servative party during the cam- paign locally and all the speakers were given a good hearing. A number of ladies, who have been identified with the Women's Conservative Association, had seats on the platform. The Minister of Mines said that Ontario had produced last year more than $950,000,000, of which the agricultural industry had been responsible for 509 mii- lions and that, although the Do- minion Government could and should play an important part in this, with their power to operate the great "fiscal lever," the oper- ation of that lever had rather a detrimental effect than an effect for good. Previous to 1878, the speaker said, when there was no protective tariff, Canada had ex- perienced the greatest time of stress in her history. Following the introduction of the National Policy by Sir John A. Macdonald, there had been a great change for the better, which had tinued until the King Govern- ment had first commenced to work towards a free trade policy. The gradual changes that had been made by that administration had brought about unemploy- ment, affected agriculture ad- con- versely and had been responsible for the slowing up of manufac- [caning resulting in greater im- (ports of manufactured goods and ithe forcing of people to go out of the country to seek employ- ment. The government's trade treaty with New Zealand had ruined the home market for dairy products and the pioneers on the land had been among the worst sufferers. "The great basic industry of agriculture, which King has al- most wrecked, is the great silent vote that is going to turn him out of power on the 28th," was one of Mr. McCrea's statements. Mr. Bennett's stand, for Canada first, within the Empire, was the true Canadian spirit, and what prosperity has come to Canada has been in spite of the King po- licy and not because of it. Mr. McCrea criticised the Dun- ning budget and its countervail- ing duties, the government's claim that they had reduced tax- ation and the immigration policy which had brought about a ser- ious unemploment situation. He outlined the proposals of Mr. Bennett for immediate relief of the working population and_ the faith of the Conservative govern- ments in earlier times in regard to national development, when they had been responsible for the building of the C.P.R. and the organization of the Canadian National System, the latter being fought "tooth and nail" by King and Lapointe. Mr. Bennett had declared, he stated, that there would never be amalgamation of the C.N.R. with the C.P.R., but there would always be competi- tion. The Minister appealed for sup- port of the Conservative candi- date on the ground that the On- tario government has a stake in the fight, having loaned between 22 and 25 millions of dollars to farmers in Ontario, and they wanted those farmers to have a fair chance to make good. They have faith in the country, he said, and wanted some one at Ottawa who could lead Canada on to her true destiny. "Let us have the old National Policy of Sir John A. Macdonald" he urged, "the policy followed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The only way is to have Bennett at- the head, and there will be none bet- ter among his followers than Haileybury's own "Wes" Gordon.
