Huber an nounced himself as representing ho class. About 200 electors "had the ~privi« lege of hearing the three candidatâ€" es speak from the same platorm and all ~~ were . given an ~attentive hearing and were frequently applau ed by their suphorters, the Liber= als and Conservatives being about equally divided. Mr. Huber banded out ‘"‘bouquets‘‘ to both parties and their candidates which . created conâ€" siderable â€" amusement. â€" Mr. King confined himsell to dealing with the platiorm laid down by Mr. Reid in his address to the electors while Mr. Reid repeated the greater part of the Addresses he has already delivered during the campaign. \ Nominations Closed. At two o‘clock Returning Oificer Knauft declared the nomination closed‘ and announced that the names _ of Messts. W. L. Mackenzic King, Richâ€" ard Reid and Allen Huber had been submitted and were accepted. He alâ€" so read the list of poliing divisions for the riding which occupied . about 20 minutes‘ time. * On motion of _ Méssts. Reid and|, King, Returning Officer Knauf was| appointed chairman â€" of the meeting i and it was announced that ecasf _ of|â€" the candidates had agreed to speak|! for thirty minutes. 1 1 Allen Btuber. 4 Allen Huber wus the first speaker of: the afternoon and spoke in . his| usual characteristic manner. He ¢eâ€" nounced both parties and promised that is elected he would purify hoth parties and gave them honest ‘ govâ€" ernment. He thanked Messrs.â€" Refd, Scufly, Millar, Honsberger and Qhirmâ€" bach, for their assistance in having his nomination papers accepted . by ‘the returning officer who, he claimed, was "quibbling‘. ~ before he was conâ€" vinred that the papers were regular. Mr. Huer then proceeded to tread Sir Wilfrid Laurier‘s speech delivered at â€" Ottawa regarding the Libotal plfiform adopted in 1893 in which he favored free trade as it is in England. The speaker said that Sir Wilfrid‘s s ntiments on this eccasion were his at the present time and that was the reason he was not a suppor ter of the Liberal party. He said the difference between the two parties{ was that the Conservatives favored a policy to rob ourselves while the Liberals _ adopted _ the principle of protection after having denounced it. He favored cheaper whiskey and said that he was at present the watchdog of the town treasury and if electe would be the watchdog of the Dom inion treasury. He stood for no Class and promised the electors honest govâ€" ernment if elected. He had not con fidence in either party and . thousht that Mr. King was being deceived hy his friends. > Mr. King on rising to speak . was most enthusiastically received. . He gracefully thanked those who . had nominated him, expressed his appreciâ€" ation of the high bonour they . had done him, and promised, if elected, to endeavor, to prove bimself worthy of the trust. . He pointed out that it was . cusâ€" tomary at such meetings to . discuss the issues before the electors, but unfortunately, though he had . given some thought to the matter,he had not been able to find any distinoWire polâ€" icy that the Conservative party was at this time puttingâ€"before the clecâ€" tors that could fairly be described as an alternative polcy to that of the party now in power. Bc He had also read Mr. Reid‘s address to the electors, but even that had not helped him to find anything in . the way of a policy; he would be glad if the electors would study that address carefully and tell him wherein there was one line that indicated anything in the nature of a distinctive policy or in fact, anything in the nature of & poligy at all. _ _ . > o s He read Mr. Reid‘s address to the ¢lectors, and~commented on each clause, and asked again it there was anything in that statoment that ind! cated anything in the nature of . a policy. These he said, are Mr. Reid‘s chicl grounds,â€"his. reasons for appealâ€" ing to the clectors. First, he says, I am a home man. Is there up!g n that sta ply equaily to probably every man in this room. Is there anything in that that would warrant putting the Libâ€" cral party out and putting the Conâ€" servative party in,â€"that Mr. nd&‘h a home man.

That is n:‘“: party. policy; gfin-n' for the good of governed. I; do not care whether it is the policy . of the Conservative party or the Liberal party, all government can only exist for the good of the governed, and there is certainly nothing in that which distinguishes the policy of ong party from the policy of the â€" other. There are good ‘men in both parties; there are dishonest men in both parâ€" ties; and this plank means . nothing so far as distinguishing _ one party from the other. It does not give one party an advantage over the other, and a policy, to be a policy at all, must be distinctive in some particulâ€" ars ‘"For good goternment of all clas= ses."" Nothing distinctive about that either." A party may stand for all sorts of things. The Liberal party stands just as much for good govetnâ€" ment as the Conservative party. "Such an era of favoritism, corrupâ€" tion and graft." Here he took dirâ€" ect issue with his opponents. _ For want of a policy they are doing > al: in their power to give this country l‘ bad name. This talk of scandal, isl being sent out;in despatches to other countries, and this country which we all love, is receiving through this kir of campaigning a nameâ€"which it do not deserve to have, and which .n0 patriotic, honest citizen would _ help to give. (Cheers.) +o. If there is corruption why does not some member of the Conservative party make a charge ard assume the responsibility therefor. It means< the forfeitvwre" of his seat in the House of Commuus if he cannot prove. it." Sir Wilfrid Laurier has said on every 0câ€" casion that if any member _ of the House has a charge toâ€"make that an enquiry will be ordered in five _ minâ€" utes, but the mere fact that a man gets up and makes gerieral charges is no reason why the money of the peoâ€" ple of this country should be wasted in useless investigations. _ We saw something of this last year in . the session, where an expense of I don‘t know how many thousand dollars a lay was incurred through members on ‘he other side making gencral stateâ€" nents and reading whole vo‘umes of literature simply that they might reate the impression throughout the sountry that there was something wrong â€"with the administration. The enquiries that were made, were made at the instance of the Governâ€" ment itself. In the case of the "Arcâ€" tic‘ Sit Wilfrid Laurier asked that some gentleman on the: other _ side might make a speeific charge; . ~one Conservative gentleman did so; . he said some goods had been . bought and not put on board. Sir Wilfrid asked him to follow it up next day and moved for a Committee of Enâ€" quiry. He did not do so. Notwithâ€" standng this, Sir Wilfrid said, . We will not let this thing goâ€" past in this way; and a committee was apâ€" pointed at the instance of the Governâ€" ment itsell. They found that the goods purchased had been put . on board, that the prices paid were perâ€" fectly fair in every case, with excepâ€" tion of a small quantity of tobacco. If every general charge named by the Opposition had been taken . up, "it would have taken wp.,the time of Parâ€" liament indefinitely.} _ Sir _ Wiltrid Laurier holding in trust the busipess of the,people thought too well of his . duty to waste the money of the pubâ€" lic in useless enquiries where no dirâ€" ect charges had been made. If there were no other methods of: procedure there might be . some. grounds for it. ‘There are substantial means whereby wrongs can be made right; there are the courts‘ â€" of the jJand; there is the method of Part‘aâ€" mentary procedure; and until _ they availed themselves of these meâ€" thods our opponents have â€" no . right to say anything, one way or the othâ€" er, in the nature of general charges which they do not care to undertake to prove. 3 There are two things which our opâ€" ponents are putting be_lor’_ the mh. ot this MDomirtâ€"v; ans is the . tafie: af scandal, and the other is extravagâ€" ance. These are merely clouds of dust that they are raising before the eyes of the electors in. order . that they may ?‘g 5 F"!‘Ih% record _ of oring to eteaté susprcion and â€" alarm in the public mind so that‘the minds of men may be turned away from the record of what has been accomplished.

That is one of these vague, general statements that has been used every place on earth where protection has ever been talked mbout. 1 Mr. Reid would say how much he considered ample ‘protection Mr. King would be in a position to discuss the subject with him; put this phrase might mean ‘anything, â€"and so far as this ; state ment went, Mr.King was just . <as . ready as Mr. Reid ever could be to sWbscribe to it. ~ ' ‘Then he goes on to speak about a further measure of protection in the matter ‘of immigration. Where could we get a better‘ . man to put _ in charge of that work that Dr. Bryce; some years ago Dr. Bryce was taken to Ottawa, and this special work was given to him to do; and I say that the laws in regard to undesirable imâ€" nugration have been more carefully observed and moreâ€" rigidly enforced under the present government â€" than Lthvy have ever been before. There is a clause in the Immigration Act that any undesirable or weak minded ‘ can be ‘deportc? and that this can be done at a y time within two years should such a condition of things beâ€" come spparent. I believe our _ Conâ€" ser‘ »tive friends don‘t tell you when ‘:se people came into the country, .or if they came in more than twelve years ago they have to take the reâ€" sponsibility of them. Statistics show that a considerable number of these undesirables and criminals came into this country before this Government took office and there was the â€"sifting out the immigrants as is. done now. BPuat that statementâ€"does not entitle Mr. Reid ~to consideration at the hands of the electors;any more than a similar statement would if made by Mr. King. In fact, Mr. _ King pointed out thatâ€"it had been a great part of his work; that he had proved the sincerity of his belief in the propâ€" riety of carefully sifting immigrants by the work he had done. "Canada gives Great Britain a preâ€" ference â€"â€" mistake." Why does not Mr. Reid set out an alternative polâ€" icy? Why does he not say whether or not the Conservative party wish to do away with the preferential tarifi? It he would look at the matter fairâ€" ly he would find that the matter is not so onesided as appears; for. we do get something from Great Britain in return. Mr Kj_ng here explained the relaâ€" tion of shipping facilities to interâ€" national commerce. "I believe that the head of the de-‘ partmient of labour should be chosen from the ranks of labour.‘" Then, Mr. King affirmed, it that is ‘Mr. Reid‘s homest opinion he must â€" support, the Liberal party. There are three _ or four firstâ€"class labour men _ running from aby one otf which the present administration might select a . Minâ€" ister of Labour. The other day in the Maissoneuve division of the city of Montreal the Liberal _ â€"candidate, Victor Caudet, withdrew at the ‘perâ€" sonal solicitation of Sir Wilfrid Laurâ€" ier, in favor of the Labour candidate, Mr. Verville. So that if â€" Mr. ‘Red wishes to see a labour man at the head of the department of _ Labour then he must support the party that ihas the labour men on its side. (Apâ€" plause.) ‘By one mentally qualified to disâ€" charge the duties." That is ‘a refiecâ€" tion on .somebody; it means that a great many of the labour men . are not mentally well qualified. It might, Mr. King thought, be intended as a reflection upor Rim; and if so, he would have to leave that point to the intelligence of the audience, . He closes with an appeal to young: men; but this is advice, not a platâ€" form. He asks them toâ€" keep their aims and ideals high:. Mr. King would subscribe heartily to. that; he firmly believed that the ideals â€" and aims of this country should be kept ak high as possible; and paid a very neat compliment to Mr. Reid as . t6 the advantages he had derived _ from his early training. M King was vigorously applauded when he contrasted the opening and closing parts of Mr. Reid‘s platform. It begins, "I am a home man," . i} ends, "Don‘t be swept away by local issues"‘ If being a home man is not a local M" what is?

Mr. Reid relerred at someâ€" langth to the chargâ€" es against the Department of the Inâ€" terior. which Premier Laurier refused to investigate. ‘There were, he claimâ€" ed, enough instances. bmfit before. the House during : the session to show there has been majladministra« tion: and the Government should . be defeated.

In conclusion he stated that while he stood by the Borden plattorm he reserved the right, if elected, by using his own judgment on any new questions that may arise and statâ€" ed that ho was opposed toâ€"theâ€"imeniâ€" gration of undesirable people to this country.
