LIBERALS OF MEDICINE our last meeting we have gh two election campaigns. provincial election, in hy i gt; ection, rca performed the unbelieveable task (to our opponents) of defeating . A. Magrath with 2 practically untried man, W. A. Buch- nan, In both fights, I pelleve, as Y am sure you do also, the Liberal policy in gen ral was the best for the country. Let me here mention that the Lib- eral party owe to our country friends and supporters a yote of thanks and praise for their help in both fights. It would have heen impossible to have obtained the resultsthad it not been for) the majorities they piled up at thetr different polis. 4 While we have been very fortun- ate in our local fights, we as a party 7 iave not escaped disaster in other Says. It was a great blow to have our notable leader, the Right Honor: sable Sir Wiltrid Laurier, and. his jv tfmany-stalwarts defeated on the now momprable 2ist of September, causing our Beloved old chieftain to lay down the leadership of the government af- ter po many years of faithful ser- vice, It is one of the reasons why we should buckle on. the sword and clear deck for action, not resting: un we have placed him in a position he rightly belongs, the first ian. We have also been unfortunate in osing two of our best workers, Mr, - James Cain and. Mr. James Dunn: both having been struck down while om duty. It was sudden and shovid remind us that in the midst of life there is death. With their wives and families we condole. T wish to thank you all for the help you have given me during my term af office.

Resolutions Passed. The following resolutions were un- animously and enthusiastically pass- ed and adopted: That we, the assembled members of the Medicine Hat District Liberal Association hereby desire to express our utmost confidence ia the Right Honorable Sir Wilfrid Laurier as leader of the Liberal party in the House of Commons and in our repre- sentative for the constituency of Medicine Hat, Hon. W. A. Buchanan, and we further desire to give our most hearty endorsement to the Lib- eral party with particular reference to the policies of wider markets and the building and maintaining of a Canadian navy. And that copies of this resolu- tion be forwarded to the Right Hon- orable Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Hon, W. A. Buchanan, M. P. That we, the assembled members of the Medicino Hat District Liberal Association desire to put on record four appyelation of the work of the party f the Province of Al- Piider the feacership of the . A. L. Sitton and further wish to express our full endorsement of te Liberal policy in the province Ree accomplished by our member, the Hon. Charles R, Mitchell. And that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Hon. A. L. Sift- on and the Hon. C. R. Mitchell. Resolutions expregsing sympathy . thie families of the late Jas. Cain nd Jas, Dunn were also unanimously pased. z Speechmaking. After selections from the Ryse orchestra and 2 banjo duet by Messrs. Gray and Templeman, the speech- making began. O. D. Austin was first called upon. After expressing regret that Hon, Chas. Stewart, Min- ister of Municipalities, had found it impossible to attend, the speaker briefly spoke-of federal tesnos. Mr. Parker of Winnifred expressed pride in the record-of-the Liberal party in both provincial and federal affairs and made the prophesy that just es soon as the issue of wider markets becomes dead just so soon will West- ern Canada become a dead country. James Murray of Suffield in a neat speech, said that, the fight for recl- procity must go on, as it was the pol- fey for the people. He remarked that today the diference in the price of flax in the American markets and that of Canada was twenty cents. and the Canadian producer had to take the smaller price. Similiar senci- ments were expressed by Chas. Eng- land of Carlstadt, and Mr. Newby of Irvine, Hon. C. R. Mitchell In introducing Hon. C. R. Mitchell the president remarked that the peo-. ple of Medicine Hat constituency should feel honored because their re- Presentative Was so trusted by the people of the whole province that during the absence of the Premier, Mr. Mitchell was chosen as acting premier. Mr. Mitchell got a great reception when he arose to Aeliver the speech of the evening. He expressed much satisfaction at the attendance espe: fally because there were so many from the outlying parts. When they he was an untried man in public af- fairs, but he belleved that before he asked for their support again he. would-be-able to show that he had done something for the constituency and the province. Election Methods, Speaking of organization, Mr. Mit- chell was emphatic /fn declaring against government, officials taking an active part in electidns and sald that in any election bejhad to do with the work would be- one by un- paid workers and there would be no intimidation by homestead inspectors or other officials. The Liberal par- ty would leave thelr cause with the people and would: not follow the ex- ample of the Conservative party in snk ticen, ihe: aitthinte th wth steatiaaa supported and elected him in 1919, He spoke of what had happened in the way of interference in provincial lections by federal officials in Sask- atchewan. The Ottawa government might try the same thing in Alberta when the elections came and he urg- ed his supporters to be on their guard. The chances were that they would have to fight both the federal government and the provincial oppos- itfon. He made no prophesy as to when the election would come by- yond saying that the legislature could last until 1914 if the govern- ment saw fit. He then stated that if the Liberals could see anything in the conduct of affairs by the government that would give reason to withdraw their con- fidence for them to do.so, if the op- position could plate before them a better policy. He maintained on the other hand that the government had been active and aggressive along safe Hines and on that account Liberal candidates could appeal with confi- dence to the electors. Provinefal Credit. There are many serious problems confronting the people of Alberta, went on the speaker. Wider markets and the navy are not the only impor- tant Issues to be considered. - The opposition has no sertous criticism to offer the government's actions, but we have seen in the Conservative press some statements to the effect that the government is ruining the credit of the province. I admit thet the government s pling up a certain amount of indebtedness. But we cannot develop the vast rescources of the province without going debt. A debt of twelve: or fifteen million dollars is not an alarming thing for a province such-as Alber- ta. There are cities in Alberta with larger debts. The-thing-to-de-ts-to stay within a safe margin and the government fs doing that. The money is being spent in permanent improve- ments, in stesl bridges, roads, public buildings, telephones ani other works. Last year on telephones e 4,000,000 were spent and 1,- 000000 on roads. Can anyone nay that such expenditures are not legit- imate if the province is to develop according to its resources? Manicipatitics BIN. Speaking of the Municipalities Bill, the speaker denied that the govern- ment was exercising any interference with the people of the;tural munic - palities in this matter, it was left to the people to lt;ay wether or not they would organize, and when they: organized they were given power t do as hey lked in the matter of bor- rowing money to carry on pub mythore was something Wrong: works that the provincial government could not do for then. They were Question of Elevators. Discussing the elevator question, Mr. Mitchell sald that something had to be done, and that when the Legis- lature met the government would have a policy to submit. It would probably be something after the or- Aer of the system of Saskatchewan. which seemed to be working well. Tn this connection, he spoke very highly of the organization of the Un- ited Farmers of Alberta, which he said Was officered by clever men. The resolutions passed by their locals were for the most part worthy of ser- fous consideration and. their repres- entations in the matters of. direct legislations will have every consider- ation by the government and if ther can carry them into effect they will. Direct Legislation. The matter of the initiative, refer- endlim and recali were important matters and something must be done beyond merely the repre- sentations of the Farmers of Alberta in this. r He stated: that all would be don that could be done consistent with the constitution under which the country fs governed. Mr. Mitchell then spoke of the diffi- culties in the way, citing especially that of voting money, which, accord- ing to the constitution must be done only through government bills, The government recognized that the peo- ple have aright in this regard and some way Will be found by which if a required percentage of the electors petition for certain legislation it can be done. By doing s0 he believed the government could claim to be aggressive and... considesate of the shes of the people. : Wider Markets, . Reverting to federal issues, which he felt justified in going, as the as- sociation was organized for federal as well as provincial elections, Mr. Mit- chell sald that he was not going to lle down because the cause of wider markets had been defeated once. He believed that there would be a Dom- inion election before long. The Bor- den government with its. majority of over forty membera had been in of- fice only a lttle over a year and yet already thelr was talk of their having to go to the country, which showed there was a weakness and that tt yes on an insecure foundation. Phe, public were beginning to s e (tliat in the way the Conservatie party got into office and were seping'that a mistake ereMReTy. facility. for borrowing for 10cal works of the smaller order. doubtles lower duties and it will be interesting to see what the next con- tess does with the reciprocity act which s still on the statute books of the United States. It will be inter- esting also to see how: the Conserva- tive party meets the action of the Democratic patty in the United States, Wider markets will soon be the great issue again and it can be best brought about by backing the Liberal candidates whenever the oc- easion offers to do so. Naval Matters, The Borden naval policy- Was next touched updn and the-speaker show- ed up the Conservative inconsistency in this matter. Extracts from, the speeches of Hon. George E. Foster and R. L. Borden in 1909, when the Conservative party endorsed the very policy advocated by the Liberal party then and now, were read and compar- ed with the present position of the part Then money contributions wer condemned by the men who to- day are asking the countiy to contri- bute 35,000,000 cash to Britain for the building of dreadnodghts. Getting Railroads. Returning. to provincial. matters Mr. Mitchell dwelt. upon the matter of getting railroads, especially in tho south, The hope: of branch lines lay fn the Canadian Northern and tho Grand Trunk Pacific railways, These could not be built in the south until the main lines had been built and the lines reach Alberta thi Sask- atchewan. But they wei coming as fast as they could. Next spring the C, N. R. would commence build- ing south from Calgary and he was assured that the survey of the line from Hanna to Medicine Hat would be completed in the spring. He then tassured his a Hy and the government as well would use every endeavor to have the line built as speedily as possible, It was necesary to get lines through the great triangular area between the . P. R, main line and the Crow's Nest line and also east and west through the country south of the. Crow, with branches running to the Hat. This city is to become the great milling centre of the west and the grain cannot all be grown in this vicinity. It is therefore necessary. to have railways that wilt bring it from: all parts of Alberta and Sask- atchewan, The government will give the necessary guarantee of bonds to thess railroad companies just as soon ag they are ready to build the lines wanted. Good Roads. Mr, Mitchell spoke at some jlength was made. Whateyd issue m be that the govern appeals Oi the eountry on, the peop the west must staid for, wider mdrkets. and easier importationd. ---The Democrat- on the matter of roads and safd that this constituency was receiving its fair share of attention and the road were, being built where they were wost-needed. All the money raised dna Yaeal imnrnvamant atatrict Was jepent there. The work would go on just as soon as the weather permit ted in the spring. The speaker concluded an hours address, which was followed with rapt attention, by speaking of the neces sity of his being absent fron the rid ing a great deal, which made it neces sary for his friends to keep him in touch with local affairs. On the other hand. they liad the advantage of haying their representative at the seat of government at all times ready to attend to the affairs of the con stituency.
