sections of the i am sure that any government which meets those Desirea will secure general support and hold it is Only when we be fund the Issue by stirring up party fights that we Divide the people and get different opinions Cana Liana want they want Effii i ency and honesty of but above they want Justice and fair play Lor All what has happened in Ontario with regard to the so called insecure Alliance of Farmer and labourer we did not know each other when we began our but there were Many things on which we could heartily though Leader of both i belong to the Farmer but Ilia turn believe is Tho Correct my i belief pc it is indicative that of Canada Are almost a things they be so her the people of desire fair to to few Bent watches and jewelry 003 main phone Small profit wedding mings marriage i have pleasure in stating that i found Oun labor friends Good Citi Zens who wanted to build up and not tear i found the legislation they initiated and which was placed upon the statute books was Legisla Tion that appealed to All the mothers allowance minimum wage and a Small amendment to the Workman compensation there was nothing destructive about such and nothing about it which the old parties could not sup but did there were Manj thousands in Ontario who were neither Farmers nor Independent labor but they have Confidence in they know that this group o men without political experience Are at least moderately efficient and Hon they can Trust us to do thrilling that is Drury said the natural develop ment of the Farmer party in Ontario was that it was broadening and now included great Many people who were not of the farming class people realized that the party policy appealed to he referred to movements which had succeeded each and declared that he believed what was taking place today was the establishment of a new National movement which be the support of the citizens of Canuck As a not ruled said Pas Sion has been allowed to Rule in can and not there was on time when it could be said of Ever Canadian that he was either a Huttl conservative or a Little i am glad to that is no j form of is of very Litt use unless the citizens wha is the use of expressing an opinion that opinion is fixed by what of grandfathers did what is the us of being entrusted with the ballot e party manager can count on the allot being marked As he wants it to e the thing been the urse of Canadian Public and As made politicians careless and Cal us because they realized that they Ould count on nine tenths of the eople voting in the Way they were red to vote by the Chance that made fathers either Liberal or can the Farmers had got away that kind of and is just s for it is marvellous Shoppas on will obscure there was ots of for the move ment among other n As Ordinary ent into Public life in order to get and to do what we believed As right whereas in too Many cases i the men espoused platform because they thought it would get hem people of aults if they know the men in re they will Overlook mis Akes if they think the intention Good and the purpose sincere and the one great thing that we must if we Are to make the Progress we Sli Ould As a is sincerity in Nir Public when it comes to sincerity i have a great Deal More Aith the Ordinary citizen who enters Public life in order to get something than in the professional politician who says he wants to get something in order to win the approval of the dont think he Farmers party wants special privileges for the All they Ivan is and in Eastern on where the people were perhaps More bitter against the banners than the people in the a he Wue Experiment in Ontario the soon is Here that the time has come he the people of Canada can Safe take the matter of government out f the hands of the professional poll clans and place it in the hands of be Ordinary Good citizen hip is a better qualification for gov rement than professional political the people Are tired of and want no More of the insincerity and trickery that have too often Char ctr led professional they want the straightforward out poker Man who will do the thing he links is right and you will that Ype of Man in the ranks citizens f All callings of ventures i dont want to venture into the Dominion said but f i were to make a prediction i would say that the people of Canada when they get the Chance will do the same is the people of they will elect who perhaps have had political experience but who Are Nen whom they can whose honesty of purpose has been de in their Ordinary private and no matter How inexperienced in the game of politics the new May the people will expect them to make More real Progress than the professional and they will it More real the Issue is u Broad Onei am Tongue tied to night because i cannot discuss Feder al but i think the great Issue before the people of Winnipeg and of Canada generally is that of securing governments whom they can Trust to setter feeling More respect Tor the Farmers Point of View waa being shown in the cities and towns that was because the people in the towns and instead of finding As they that the Farmers were selfishly Bent on Clasa legislation found that those same Farmers Wen Only Good citizens who wanted legis lation in the interests of the people As a some things uncovered some of the things we have uncovered Down in Ontario Are not t the credit of the old political parties i dont need to develop w found out that the Public Treasu was being i think that al the old politicians must have know it i dont see How they could help but know but it remained for the Ordinary citizens constituting the government and the legislature to try to get Back to the people what a Owler to what is the lesson of the Whol of the Farmers o and the other Day when it came to loan on the of such magnitude that1 Bond houses were afraid of the people had so much Confidence in the government that they oversubscribed the loan doubly in 48 i resented the Jade by Premier not so much because it applied to the class to which i and not so much because it was applied to the but because it was the i played game of trying to win a Little cheap support by dividing Good canadians into factions and setting them at each others there is one thing to must have that is Unity we May differ of How to do a thing but we should not differ on the Why of i respect those who differ from but i cannot forgive the Man in order to win sets canadians at each others that to my mind is the worst sort of treachery to the land we Crerar s speech do the right thing for the people As a whole Drury said he was glad to he on the platform with whose Sterling qualities he recon he was glad to bring greetings from the sister province of Ontario to we if we As canadians Are to accomplish what we ought to bring labout More we must As canadians set our fact against the tricks of the professional politician we must toe last and All the time Canadian citizens working the common whether it be in Manitoba or any other we must make it to the discredit and Dos profit of Man to attempt to set class against i resented one remark made Byr the prime minister of the Dominion when he imputed that

triefly a ques Tion of vast importance to the three Prairie provinces and that question is their right to Possession of their natural in the same Way As the other provinces of can Ada enjoy the Possession of similar resources within their i do not propose to go into any historical i review of the circumstances that have led to the present position of affairs where even other province in Canada we thither exception of Han Saskatchewan and Alberta enjoys the right of ownership and administration of the lands and minerals and Waterpower within its More than to say that when these Prairie provinces were formed these resources were withheld from them and they were Given in lieu thereof an annual Cash subsidy by the Federal but while this condition has existed these provinces have steadily maintained their right to these resources and the question has Tor years been a matter of negotiation eral government without tangible Progress being at the last conference at Ottawa in the autumn of 1918 dealing with this it was further complicated by the position taken by the East Ern particularly Ontario and which amounted to this in effect that these provinces claimed an equity in the Public Domain of the Western provinces and that this equity must tie recognized by the Dominion government before they would consent to any transference of these resources to their rightful own it is Only right to say Here that that position was As far As Ontario was toy the government that preceded the one now in Power in that Eastern provinces no claim i it be stated definitely once and for All that the Validity of this claim cannot for a moment be the Eastern provinces have no More claim to a share in these resources than Manitoba has to a share in saturday morning specials six
