CLOSING DAYS OF

called the Liberal candidate. In
reviewing Smith’s career, thé
speaker declared him a political
carpet-bageer, the best test of
whose standing was what people
thought of him in Nanaimo,
where Smith had lived nearly his
whole life. There he had been
defeated in the federal election.
He knew’ better than to accept
the Liberal nomination in Nenai-
mo, because that meant certain
defeat. In Vancouver Smith was
a newcomer, but the electors
would resent his groundless ac-
cusations.

Premier Slates Tupper

(Special to The Miner)
Vancouver, Mar. 22:—A Delta
meeting was held at Ladner on
Wednesday, The premier spoke,

isaying the Liberal organization

was almost defunct. He com-
mented on a leaflet in circulation
in the hall, containing an inter-
view given out by Hibbert Tup-
per, criticising the railway policy,
Mr. MeBride said it was not con-
sidered good taste to speak other-
wise then well of those “who
have gone’ and Tupper was
politically dead. Sir Hibbert had
been discredited by his own
party, and now linked himself
with disgruntled Grits, The
electors were sure to do the very
opposite of whathe (Tupper) de-
sired, It was sointhe previous
campaign, when the same critic
attacked the railway policy of
three years ago.

Steps would be taken to investi-
gate the Skeena route for a rail-
way to Groundhog coal fields,
and the question of assisting the
construction of a line from Huzel-
ton to the upper Skeena country

deserved. In the matter of roads,
trails and bridges, this district
hed been fairly treated, and
-while he had not been able to
secure appropriations as large as
he had wished, it would be
found that the Hazelton and val-
ley districts would be allotted
their due proportion.

To ensure in all cases the proper
expenditure of the funds for

the province, one’ ‘such official |
‘being stationed at Prince Rupert, |
to co-operate with the road
superintendents of Skeena. The
rapid expansion of the country
tributary to Hazelton, and the
necessity for the construction of
so many new roads and trails,
necessitated the division of the
interior road district. The pres-
ent unwieldy district, which it
was impossible for one man to
supervise, would be divided, and
a competent man would be ap-
pointed to the new section. The
trail to Groundhog, for which
the people of. the district had
petitioned, would be constructed
without delay, and other road
work necessary for the develop-
ment of the district would be

Mr. Manson concluded his ad-
dress amid applause, and_ was
followed by Dr. Clayton, who
proved to be acomedian of no
little ability, and succeeded in
amusing the andience for a good
half hour, In his remarks he
did not deal with policies or
polities—save by reference to the
alleged ‘‘machine’’ in Prince Ru-
pert— contenting himself with
the role of entertainer, He did,
however, succeed in showing the
audience that he held a very
high opinion of his own ability
and fighting qualities,

J. F, Macdonald, who has been ;j
associated with Dr. Clayton in
Prince Rupert politics, made a
bitter -attack on the ‘‘Lone
Fighter,” alleging that the Doc-
tor did not deserve ta be called a
Conservative,

W. E. Denning, representing
the Socialist candidate, spoke for| .
half ‘an hour on the sins of all);
other parties and excellence of
his own, Like the other speakers,
he was given an attentive hear-
ing.

The , nearest approach to
oratory was afforded by the ad-
dress of Rev. R. W. Lee, of Kis-
piox,. who took up the cudgels on
behalf of the Liberal candidate.

Mr. Lee began with the de-
elaration that the only fault he
had to find with William Manson
was his adherence to the Conser-
yative party. The: speaker
showed platform ability which,
when accompanied with a know-
ledge of provincial polities, will
make him‘a debater fit for any
company, - He criticised the Mc-
Bride administration and urged
the return of the Liberal candi-
date. The contest, :he said, was
between the two Mansons, The
other candidates were negligible.

In a masterly speech of twenty
minutes duration the government
candidate closed the debate, an-

ents in a manner that evoked
enthusiastic approval from the
audience. He closed with the
declaration that his only -desire
was that the electors should
judge the issues fairly and vote
for the man ‘they considered
would best serve the district.
He was satisfied to abide by their
decision. ,
It was near midnight when Mr,
Manson ended his speech, and
the fact that many -of the
audience which cheered him at
the conclusion of the meeting had
stood throughout the evening
speaks volumes for “the interest
taken in the campaign. ‘The
member expressed gratification
with the. splendid ‘reception ac-

vietion that he would’ be. again

Passed Second Reading

‘London, Mar; 21:~-The miners’
minimum wage bill passed its sec-
ond reading today. Hon, A, J.
Balfour’s motion to reject the
measure was defeated by 384 to
225. Itis beelived the bill will
receive its third reading on Sat-
urday and will then become law:
The situation throughout the
country is much improved, owing
to the probability of a settlement
on the passage of the bill. The
action of Balfour in virtually re-
suming the leadership of the op-
position was a surprise to the
house. Bonar Law, the recently
chosen leader of the party, voted
with the government. on theg
question,

Much Opposition
‘London, March 20:—Ther'e is

“rstyong opposition to the proposal

of the government to regulate
the wages of coal miners, The
large body of employers, both
Radical and Unionist, fear that
this government intervention
means the end of the rights of
free labor and free commerce,
and is the first decisive triumph

starving a nation into surrender.
The citizens of Sweden, ‘with the
support of the government, re-
cently defeated these syndicalist
designs, and Monsieur Briand,
socialist, though he is, called out
‘the citizen army to defeat them
in France.
The government here, aay the
owners and Unionist journals,
must similiarly use the army ter-
ritorials and reserves to protect
fiee.:labor i in the mines and on
the railways and to maintain the
tights of private ownership. |
Thus the struggle threatens to
assume the gravest significance.
After the coal mines the -syn-
dicalists will concentrate on the
yailwaya on the lines of Mr.
Joseph Martin's movement for a
minimum wage of thirty shillings
per week, under State owner-
ship. os '
