Dr. Vrooman was the next speak- er. He belieVed in the Liberalâ€"Con- serVative policy and platform; he had always been a Conservative ; and he did not think he could be anything else. He felt that the Dominion lead er was a man that all must be proud of, and proud to follow in the aplen- did platform laid down. Dr. Vroo-i man, however, thought that every good Conservative had a right to ex- press his views at a convention of this kind. He believed that every man should think for himself, and not hedictated to or drawn aside by the loud efxpressio'ns of a few. There were 'r a few points, he said, which he would liketo speak dispassionately about ~ which he believed ought to be recog- ‘ nixed. Ten years ago he had- left his 1 p' ice, when pressed to do so for at] terests of the riding of SOuth Victoria. He had spent time and labor and eflort for the cause, and had takendefeat. Again in 1900 he _ been the unanimous choice ofthe and though large tomato! the "COCO panic. ”I have never asked a man to .vote for ‘me at this or y other convention,” concluded 'th colonel, “nor have I tried to influence the free and unbiased wish of the electorate. ‘I am prepared to abide by whatever de- cision the convention'may arriVe at.” .5:- Col. Hughes said he would abide by the expressed wish of the conven- tion as he had always done in the! ‘past. He had worked for the Liberal f iConservative party all his days. He' had worked for the good of the peo-' ple and for the good of the riding. l “I challenge any man,” he said, “to point out one act private por public, I committed by me that would not re- dound to the honor of the riding of. Victoria and Haliburton.” ColonelI Hughes scored the Government for the land deals in the West. The ex- travagant conduct ‘and the grafting operations of the Liberal Administra- tion were largely responsible, he said, ' for bringing the country to its pre- ‘1 sent verge on the edge of a financial J It was decided that those nominat- ed should speak in the order nominat- ed, and that fifteen minutes should be allowed each speaker.
