I would like to Lay Down As a general principle that a Man s record o f achievements behind him is a sure guarantee of Reater accomplishments in the future. Or. Rogers was born in Quebec and came to Manitoba when 21 years of age. Since then he has devoted himself to the conservative party or. Tupper outlined several of or Rogers achievements in. The Provin Cial and Dominion Fields of politics Cit no the Opton he obtained on the Northern Pacific and Manitoba Rai Way his buying of the Telephone system and thus breaking a monopoly and his extending the boundaries of Hie province from acres to acres. At Ottawa i Rogers record was just As successful. Or. Tupper went on. As minister of j the Interior he was particularly successful in securing immigrants. We find the next great question which he took up was this said or Tupper. He went to England to the Imperial conference arranged for a. Bushel for wheat instead of which had been offered. You know what took place at the Confer ence. He wanted the embargo on cattle removed and when they agreed to do this he asked for the passage of a Reso Lution by the British parliament to assure a Market. He resigned from l he Borlen government because he thou lit the conservative party big enough Strong enough proud enough and picture shows t.

But really want working for mid Iii probably i have been More that sly berated for my loyalty to the party which has been at All Lime in separable from the Prosperity of Cun it has always contrib dec to the found development of our country. That is the reason Liat i never Coli Irv and party As for to us the words country and party Are a Anonymous. They both imply the Lilg Best Well being of the people of the j swerved in my loyalty to parly. Whole country. But Thore can be Loyal to the conservative party i nothing final in the political teachings j continue ions As i live of a country such As ours.

By the con i mention each and every one was Wil in to stand by the decision of the Tomb Colv having in View the welfare of the for they All realised Vas far greater and More to be desired j than individual gain. On rising to speak or. Guthrie said alter such complimentary ret a Ronces As have just been made in regard to me it is difficult for one to a Row exactly what to say. I am of course that i do not Merit these compliments in any Way but this i can say that if you see fit to entrust me with the leadership of the conservative party tomorrow All i can do is to give the very Best that is in me for the conservative Causs a and the conservative party. Rather an Odd coincidence i was. Sworn in to Robert Borden to Iid today i was elected Tern Leader of the conservative i do not know whether it is Harbinger of Good or evil 11 be decided for me tomorrow it reason or Guthrie then referred to the that he recalled Well the Meei. He House of it is one Yea there East met West Bhe first problem of the moment. The Day had arrived when Canada must be considered As a nation. The Domin Ion received her status As a nation when sir Robert Borlen signed the treaty of Versailles and later at the Imperial conference we were assured by Stanley Baldwin that Canada had achieved this distinction Long before that time. Let us establish a National party or Guthrie said. Let there be a real Canada. Let there be no longer an East or West. Owing to the geographical filter a Ness which existed in the Dominion the feeling had existed that there was East and West but these difficulties were met. And the conservative party found that it had support in the West As Well As in the East As War evinced in the last election. So strongly had the foundation been Laid the conservatives polled votes and All the other parties combined did not receive More than 000. In spite of this fact we received one seat out of 53, and went to Hon. Or. Bennett. C Altan nominated next nominee for the leadership we my the Liberal conservative party. We the i must reconcile divergences opinion on minor issues. We must remember that no political party can Long sur Vive which gives opposite answers to the same questions in Dif Ferent parts of the country. The purpose of our party is not to create an English mind nor a French mind but to compose the varying Elemr its which make on nationality. Remember a personal opinion should be vouchsafed to every citizen. Dis can Only make for Dis Seii Tion Dis Union and eventually disruption the holding of thu urea convention is clue to the act that it cud seam necessary that we could have a mobilisation of out forces from Ait of this Dominion to Bof we could once again strengthen the party and realize the value of great i policy oar country what h is. Nov. Let me on to tiie policy of the party 1-5 t policy j which has . The conservative or Gaiti station what it or. Rogers said. As Coli . We have a to be proud of this but let me out we have not n lot about do what. After ail we Are a very Small unit and the Moe important unit in the world. That unit is Hie Home and the Best Home is inc Canadian Home. Ail pm politics and every thing vre do should be directed of tort one end. If we Only about it the Way and keep Canada for the canadians and keep canadians it Home we. Shall have one of greatest opportunities in the -.-.-Oriel. Is no Alec to Init of i his.

I if you Ever read tin Maii free press i do and sometimes ii e it and some Raes i the something about truth. They was a Rotten lie likes work better j and the papers said Calvary or. Said the Roii Venlon was two purposes. First o pock i second to find he thought it lilting that in Alberta should second the nomination of or. Bennett.

Disaster Why they had elected Leader for the time being but Sug it might have been been use he continuously throughout 20 the Mantle h to fallen upon the Man of talc Nus he whose a Mie i have now the pleasure of pres Cutlir to you. Hon. Hugh Guthrie. Jar Guthrie has for some i Aii decl Hie slips of paper to the Quebec Delegate he is with the this o. N nearly looking citizen from v As at or Lime a Liberal but u07 an enthusiastic conservative months on the work. It is for you to decide from what you know of rus management of affairs it is for his confreres and colleagues to decide that they have seen of him in action and it is for us to decide to from what we know of him and what we see of him in action when he appears before you whether the Man to be entrusted a cat work that lies ahead. In my opinion As one of the rank and file who has watched our Public men from All angles we can with certainty safety and surety rely upon or Guthrie to perform the duties of Leader to the utmost satisfaction. I am Long to take this Opportunity of expressing my pleasure at being or Lvi to present to you tonight the e of the Hon. Hugh Guthrie. a w. Bell. . For Hamilton out., seconded the nomination of Hon. Hugh Guthrie. Or. Bell said when Little less than a year ago the conservative party at Ottawa to re build its shattered fences after unfortunate and in some cases its questionable defeat the first thing we looked around for was a Mas in whom we could put unqualified Faith we were determined to retrieve the fallen fortunes of our party. Our Heads were had been in three conservative governments of Canada. Had fear and trepidation Clai de or. Guthrie. I recall mind in a moment the names of those Reat leaders of the party who had Gobi a before Macdonald Tupper Borden but last but by no Means least my trusted and tried Friend aril de to thur Meighen. One of Plant parliamentarians has Ever produced colleagues selected me i the duty and having gone session of parliament i the most Bril this country but when my name next election the brows bloody but unbowed. We wiped off tire blood and in the the blood a ill be on our opponent. The Man we chose proved to be one of the greatest living canadians. He proved himself when a crisis came in his own life to be n Man big enough to put country before party. For years he was a Man of highest Promise m the party with which he was at first associated. When be came face of face with the proposition that meant that blood of the country was being Flanders Fields he said nothing to me. Poured out Oil future Means undertook through sure i Han Bell Drew attention to the and vast experience of the candidate. Coupled nevertheless with Nis unusual visor of mind and body. _ though i am a Yong mar. Be said i envy the mental and. Physical Valpor of this White haired Veteran whom if you elect to leadership. I know will serve you faithfully Nunci Fauteux. Speaking in French praised or. Rahaii As being worthy of the Best traditions of the great conservative party. Pointing to the responsibilities which the office of leadership involved. Or. Fauteux called attention to the nominee s vast experience in Public affairs a his patriotic sentiments followers preventing of one of the colossal steals that was Ever attempted and referred also to the Imperial charter which Premier King brought Back from Over seas. He said that Premier King had promised to place the report before the parliament of Canada and seek its approval. But it was Pigeon holed and remained unconfirmed by parliament. He specifically mentioned the names of messes. Bennett and Stevens As men who had been of great assistance to him in his Leader achieved a rather notable record throughout the last session Parlia ment declared the we did nothing to be ashamed of and a Good Deal to be proud of. We Are meet ing today to select a permanent not a temporary he then went on to emphasize the tact that the Success of the conservative party was what All the nominees desired and not individual gain. The Success of that party is what Veall desire Yea that we All demand. Morning that a. Delegation had called 011 him composed of ladies and gentle men from the province of Quebec both English and French speaking As Well As representatives of other provinces. To re Ronal ambition owing to the Peculiar conditions at the present time they pointed out to he said they thought might be of some service to this Dom Inion if i would accept such Nomina Tion the result of that nomination is entirely within the discretion the delegates Here. I have no per Sonal ambition for my own ends we who Are members of this convention have taken upon ourselves grave duties and responsibilities. Mas we All decide to sink every Persona emotion and prejudice and be actuated in our proceedings Only by one supreme desire and that is to Advance the interest of this splendid Doin Imor and the great conservative party o which we form a part All co related the administration of the affair of a great political party such As Dun should be conducted in a patriots spirit if we would conserve the bus interest of this Dominion and the party to which we belong. The economic Independence of any Section or the tendency of the continued or. Cahan is to put Mere burdens on. The government to the that More and More a paid out the Treasury. Taxation Dominion provincial end municipal embrace one fourth of the products of country. One fourth goes to pay taxation imposed for various pull services As a general Burden i would Oay taxation cannot be raised without driving Oxire producers across the uni where taxation is being reduced rom year to year. The primary object of legislation s to maintain the Prosperity and Well of the country and to that end do object of a Tariff policy should be o secure to our people wages High ii ugh to prevent them being lured the Border. Things necessary or Comfort Here that arc produced i he United states should be permitted a enter free or at a nominal Cost Pius reducing the Cost of living to tiie i Linash Prout cars there must be Protection rot the. People but the profiteer should be and rust be punished or. Cahan said. Monopoly is a source of evil and must subject to restraint. But unfair foreign Competition should like Wise restrained. Such measures should put into effect for the general pub Lic interest and not for the general aggrandizement of any group or class. Members of parliament and Dele Gates to this he went on Aig trustees for the nation and As such should exercise their authority without fear or favor in the interests of Canada As a the conservative National party a child. Open up the North he said build wharf docks and rail ways and encourage the primary industries. Men converting raw material into finished products were valuable to the nation the need for secondary industries throughout Canada. The sons and daughters should be Able to find employment in the think How prosperous we if we kept this Money in our Domain. Let Nie also say that of our Liberal friends boast out enormous exports but they sidestep the fact that 75 per cent of these exports Are natural resources which cannot be replaced. It also be borne in mind. Or. Rogers continued that thousands of our Best Young men and women were going to the United states year by year to seek employment. M igra Loii figures show was Long enough in the Rall i Way business to know that Blind Sui i Are not Good for any kind of a train i would like to be Able to Sec that Road kept in such a Way that it would be a real service to the people. It is not so very Long ago the in that 00.000 secondary industries to produce tilings for our economic life. Predicts Victory i have heard it said that the conservative party cannot Hope for Suc Cess for five or ten or Rahaii said these political Jerimiah do not Appeal to me. There is sufficient i orgy in the party to place in motion every Means necessary to carry conservative party to Victory in the next election. The motto i give you is that it is a. Victory for the conservative party the first time the pres ent government appeals to the coun wan try As a. at this Point there was an interruption by a Delegate from Ontario who refused to be squelched for some time by cries of sit finally had left the Dominion to seek a living across the Border. Faith i i believe i am expressing the sentiments Cfall when i say that we have an abiding Faith in the future of Canada. Why should we not have Faith for no civilized nation has j Ever been endowed with the resources j which we possess in the Dominion. We Are responsible for the sound development of our land. Take for example the tremendous possibilities j in the Yukon and British Columbia which have greater resources than France. Germany and great Britain combined in respect to the Prairie provinces we have acres of is prolific wheat lands As any in the civilized world. But it is necessary for us to provide More and More wheat every year because the entire production of this commodity in the world has decreased at an alarming rate in the past five years. More than 40.000.000 bushels arc needed today than 20 years Aio. The j world production has increased by 20 bushels each year which Means that fully 20 per cent More wheat per capita is needed to Supply human race. Let us give the Farmers of this great we Swan coun try a Market for they will not accept the Ziffling Liberal remedies. Linnic Zafiu act provided in Ontario because of Industrial that i Blac guarded because or " that infernal j Drayton report " sir Henry touched on the debt reduction of the country. That reduction he stated was solely As a result of the operation of the Cana Dian National railway. It is your system but see that it is run right. You Are the creators of this party. Keep it. Maybe i will be Able to Heln turning to delegates. Sir Henry addressed them in French for n few minutes. Wonderful inspiration the nomination of b. B. Bennett Calgary by Hon. L. D. P.
