On Monday, July 28th, 1930, it is your duty to go to the polls and by your ballots,, pass judgment first, on the past record of the King Govern-, anent; second, the present Dunning Budget; and third, Your choice of Cumadian representatives to attend the Imperial Conference, called to meet in London on September the 30th of the present year. ' The Govmnnent Record The right of the franchise is the fundamental basis of Canadian Self- Government- . »Even after the abolition of the inquitous war-times Election Act of 1917, under the provisions of the Act of 1920-21, married women in Cana- da, if of foreign birth and naturalized through marriage to British subjects, -were obliged to appear before a Judge, show caufce, and secure from him sa voting certificate before they could exercise the right of franchise. At the very first session of the King government, this injustice was. removed, «nd to-day our good women have all the rights and privileges of Canadian ncitizens, even to the full degree of being enabled to sit as members of the Senate of Canada. * . The Wh!*- Veterans " During the reegnt session of Parliament the problems of the-war vet- «rans were thoroughly reconsidered and legislation passed, whereby the rinor is opened, and all veterans are allowed a fair trial of pension rights. ■Afflong as theLiberals are in power, the door is never closed, to re-examin ation' and fair treatment, as the result of war service, ra The Financial and Administrative Record 1. The Canadian .Railway situation was such that the fear was, would Canada be able to survive or become financially bankrupt? When the King Government assumed office it at ;once set to'work to consolidate the Canadian National Railways, bring them under one efficient board of ^management, free from partisan political interference, and secured the services of Sir Henry Thornton as President ahd General Manager, with the result that, whereas, during the la^t two years of the Meighen Govern- »nent, the revenue of the system failed to meet the ordinary expense of op eration by $46,076,279.45; at the end of the first two years of the King Government record, there was- a surplus of revenue over ordinary expendi ture of’;:$23/i317,360.63, or a betterment"in the two years of $69,393,640.08. "This good record has continued with the result that in 192 8, the net earn- ‘ings of th'e system was $58,383,574..54, being sufficient to meet the inter- .•»St charges'due the public upon ■ The^principal sum of ..................... ......$.977,889,032,94 The "interest being ..................... . 41,655,234.89 Thus living a surplus of ........... ....... 16,7281342.65 -io be applied to the continued financial purposes of the Railway System, Owing to the serious shortage in the 1929 grain crop .of Western Cana- shSa,, and unfavorable conditions throughout the world for which Canada Is-fn no wise responsible, there was some reduction in the net earnings in 1929.

The people of Canada must decide who is to represent Canadian opin ion at the approaching imperial Conference, uted the British preference, looking towards , tions, and has made it the central feature of counry. Is it not, therefore, fitting that, through wo should strengthen the hands of our brilliant Liberal Leader, who has Amply demonstrated his capacity most effectively to represent Canada both at home and abroad; who has preserved our national self respect in abolishing all liquor clearances, and thus effectively severed every vestige of connection with the rum-running fraternity; who has succeeded in settl ing every existing friction between the seyeral Provinces, and the federal ■authority in a broad and generous spirit, and against whose Government record not the slightest breath of scandal has ever been heard on the flooi' of Parliament. ■» 1 The Right Honorable Mackenzie King has now become a great world figure. Canada has achieved a high position in the minds and hearts of European nations. Great benefit has accrued to her through the sojourns of the Prime Minister in Great Britain and ou the continent in recent years, His timely message of international peace, good-will and concilatiop,, rather than armaments as a-means of settling international disputes, has lifted Canada to a high place among the nations of the world, Therefore, j it is our privilege and our duty to accord to him aud to his Government, the further tribute .of being enabled to officially proceed to London to carry | his commendable trade policies to further fruition, ] In conclusion, may I say the records of parliament show in no unmis-j takable terms, that I have endeavoured to voice your interests, both on the! floor of the House and in committee of my fellow members. I have con-] tinuously insisted upon the policy of wider markets, greater preference to the Motherland and more favorable trade agreements with all countries willing to trade with Canada upon mutually favorable tqrms, My stand upon countervailing duties, abolition o£ liquor clearances, the crying evils of divorce and other important questions is well known to you all. If my record as your servant meets with your approval, may I solicit your continued confidence through the medium of your ballots on Julv 28th 1930.

Seventy-fi per cent, of this revision means in- «reased pibference to the Motherland. 4 The iron and steel schedules may be said to fovpi the basis of the cus toms tariff in the number and impmitance of its- items. Its relationship to our whole national life is illustrated by the fact $liat the industries con cerned employ over 120,000 men in ,rme 1,100 plants, with an aggregate pay roll, of $170,000,000.00.
