Nomination papers on be­ half of W. H, Goulding, Liberal, who has represented the riding for the past eight years and J. W. Morley, Exeter, National-Conservative can­didate were filed with the returning officer. For the meeting that fol­ lowed A. Kalbfleisch, of Zurich, pre­ sided, Mr. Goulding and Mr. Morley were the only speakers and both speakers got a splendid reception. Mr. Gould­ ing was the first to take the plat­ form and after expressing apprecia­ tion of the loyal support given him in the past he outlined the reason for the Prime Minister dissolving parliament and going to the people at this time, the chief reason being the vote of censure passed by the Ontario Legislature. SinCe the de­ claration of war the government has set in motion all its forces to see that the war effort is carried on suc­ cessfully. He denied that patronage is rampant and reiterated the words of Mr. Mckenzie King when he said that any member who sought pre­ ference for his friends during the national crisis was no friend of the government. Everything humanly possible is being done without pat­ ronage and without profiteering. He had talked with employees in the office looking after the soldier’s de­ pendants and the man in charge of the office had been working sixteen hours a day and the girls are work­ ing' in shifts. He spoke of the equip­ ment the government had bn hand for equipping the soldiers previous to the war, a quantity sufficient for home defence. He refuted Dr. Man­ ion’s statement that Mr. King had refused to allow British pilots to train in Canada and that millions of dollars had thus been lost to Canada. The question of spending three hun­ dred millions of dollars in Canada has come up since the beginning of the war. J, W. Morley Mr. Morley, National-Conservative candidate, stated that this was his first experience on a political plat­form. He was born in Exeter and lived there all his life. During the short time that he had been a can­ didate he had been repeatedly asked the question why are we having an election at this time when all our efforts are needed for carrying on the war. Mr. King had promised Dr. Manion that before another election he would assemble parlia­ ment when a full opportunity would be given to discuss Canada’s war ef­ fort. Three hours after parliament met on January 24th parliament was dissolved. Was Mr. King fair, hon­ est and sincere when he told Dr. Manion that he would hold another session of parliament? Mr. King ’stated that one reason for going to the country was the motion passed in the -Ontario legislature. Every member of the Ontario cabinet with the exception of the Premier is now out supporting a Mackenzie King' candidate. Were they sincere when they passed a resolution of censure oi' was it a smart political trick giv­ ing excuse to go to the country? The speaker compared the attitude of the British Prime Minister to­ wards the opposition and criticism to that of Mr. King’s attitude, the two being at variance. He criticized the government in bringing in a blank order paper when parliament asembled and dissolved parliament without the opposition having a chance to have one question ans­ wered and the people are left with­ out the information with which they could intelligently go to the polls. In the present crisis we should have men like Sir John MacDonald or Sir Wilfred Laurier wlio forgot race and creed and worked for the unity of Canada. We are united by a com­ mon allegiance to the Crown and have not yet fully realized the ser­ iousness of this war. The great bask to bring the war to a success­ ful conclusion. He stands by Dr. Manion when he says “a national government for a national crisis. The best brains of the country are not in any one party. We have men like Dr. Bruce willing to sacrifice his time for a national government. Mr. Morley spoke of contracts that have been let, of thousands of dol­ lars being spent for an officer’s mess in Vancouver, of the bonus to the farmers in .Saskatchewan and of American bacon brought to Canada and re-shipped to Great Britain thus lowering the prestige of Canadian bacon on thfe British market. Mr. Goulding had fifteen minutes’ to reply and he dealt with the situ­ ation in Saskatchewan. He stated that one farm implement manufac­ turing concern had lost* millions of dollars during the depression which was one reason farm implements prices had not. dropped. During the past few years there were fewer men in unemployment. The trade treaty with the United States had resulted in marketing thousands of head of cattle in the American mar­ ket. Lucan where crowned the new champions of the cyclone League at the local shinny place Friday night. The Irish took Exeter in two straight games to win the Hoffman trophy and end the hockey wars in the Cyclone for another season. Some 600 fang saw Lucan pile up a 5-2 score over the crippled, locals minus their two star Lutman. The ...... . - real battle and were put out by smart team work by Lucan who earned their new laurels. At the end of the game the boys lined up and in a very sportsman-like manner ex­ changed handshakes, following Mr. M. W, Telfer, the president of the league, presented the trophies. Mr. Passmore, on behalf of the Hen­ sall team, received the McMillan Cup donated to the team heading the league at the end of the schedule. Mr® Brigg Young, as coach of the Lucan boys, received the Hoffman trophy and expressed his wish on be­ half of the team that Lucan would defend the cup next winter. In a highly scoring first period Exeter forced most of the play. Early in the period when G. Paul was thumbed to the cooler by re­ feree Thorndyke three goals were scored in quick succession. Exeter ganged on Lucan goal with the one man advantage and McDonald taking the puck away from Cluff who had stopped. Cornish’s long- drive went in on Stevenson and drove home the first goal of the game. A minute later Exeter took a two-goal lead when Cornish caught the net with Beaver’s pass after the two had combined in a nice attack, Ham­ mond cut the lead down on a fluky goal while Paul was still off. The puck dribbled through the skates of the surprised Ford. G. Paul got the equalizer mid-way through the period. Chowan took the puck down the left boards and when crowded into the corner flipped the puck out to the uncovered Paul who beat Ford with a short drive. Beav­ ers brought the crowd to their feet carrying Ryckman’s pass right in on Stevenson but the Lucan goalie turn­ ed him. back with a sprawling save. Early in the second period the two teams engaged in a hot argu­ ment when Lucan argued that Ger­ ald Paul had scored. However, there was no goal judge appointed and some of the fans behind the net said it went in while others argued that it didn’t. Referee Thorndyke could do nothing but call for a face-off at the net because there was no goal judge. Chowan and G. Paul, made things exciting around the local net. G. Paul set up a perfect pass to Chowan but Ford slid out to save. G. Paul made up the early argument grabbing the puck in front of the net and banging it into the far side of the cage to put Lucan into t‘he lead 3-2. Dinney and Beavers missed an op­ portunity to even matters up early in the third stanza, Beavers flipped the puck out to the uncovered Din­ney, but 'Stevenson easily stopped) Dinney’s backhand shot. For Lucan- Gerald Paul was the best performer. He scored three of the four goals. Late in the third he completed his hat trick on a play from brother Reg.
