Pryde has come to have all in Canada, and equal responsi­ bilities. The great issue today is the Government handling or mis­ handling of the manpower situa­ tion.

I did not seek this nomination, but as a cit­ izen believe’ I should stand if asked. “I have no quarrel with those who believe a rural riding should have a farmer candidate.

Association, who outlined or­ ganization work of the party in this district. “We have no time to lose, espec­ ially in the rural ridings. Get out and meet people in the interests of our candidate. Organize every sub­ division. Make a personal contact and be tactful. Get those out to vote who are with us.
