Large l4rowd. Greets Pi enmien 'et the Station
Several' thousand ~.people were in
Exeter Labor Day, the occasion being
the visit to our town of, Canada's
Prime Minister, _ltt. Hon. W. L. Mac-
kenzie King. The town was gaily
decorated: for the occasion, flags and
streamers being strung' across the
street from the station to Victoria
Park, The Prime Minister was met
at the station on the arrival of the
morning train from the south, by a
large crowd, An automobile parade,
red by the Zurich band and headed
by. Frank Taylor on a white horse,
accompanied the distinguished visit-
or down town where he was offic-
ially received on the steps of the
Public library by Reeve Sanders
who read an address of welcome.
Arr. King responded in a ten minute
speech, which was entirely void of
politics but in which he stressed the
need of unity's in Canada.. After-
wards he was introduced to several
hundred citizens. Among them
meeting the Prime Minister were
two ladies, Mrs. Gidley and Mrs. E.
Christie, who entertained Han. Al-
exander MacKenzie when he visited
Exeter 50 years ago. .,He was the
last Prime Minister to be received
officially by Exeter-' until to -clay.
The Prime Minister was entertained
to . luncheon at the home of Major
W. J. Heaman.
In the afternoon it is estimated

pepple assembled in Victoria Park.
Amplifiers were used and the speak-
ers could be readily heard any place
on the grounds. Dr. Shaw, Presi-
dent of the Liberal Association, act-
ed as Chairman. He said that 14

Senator blcCoig
Thos. McMillan
Mr.. Thos. McMillan, Li eral can-
didate in South Huron, wa the first
speaker. He said ,that when the
Liberal government came i to power
the country was in one of the worst
periods of depression, trade was at a
low ebb, the Canadian d llar was
worth only 86c. in New Y rk, what
the housekeeper had to - buy was
high and what the farm r Nd to
sell was low; the Canadian N.
al Railways were in a con used and
hopeless muddle, and the fear was
expressed whether Cana da would
ever be able to redeem herself. He
referred to the time whensugar was
selling for $26.00 a cwt. ow to a
sugar combine, which wa broken
when the U. S. sugar was shipped
into Canada. During the first ses-
sion of the Liberal government
there was a reduction m de in 57
articles and substantial re ductions
had been made Since that ime.
"The King government secured
the' services of one of the astutest of
Canadians with business and dip-
loniatic ability as high commissioner

Further, the Xing governrn ent has
secured regulations whit permit
n
Canadian cattle to be sent land for
grazing and finishing` urposos,
where formerly they had to
be slau-
ghtered within 48 hours of landing..
Senator McCoig said that he had
several reasons for being pleased at
attending this gathering. Poreinost
among them, however, was the fact
that he had, When a boy, a bigger
beadier who had `'picked on hien

ders the amiable and- capable reeve
of Exeter.
"No leader could have handled the
affairs .01 this country as our lead-
er did," declared Senator McCaig,
referring to the Prime Minister. Be
had also used the. greatest discret-
ion in selections made in his Cabinet
changes. Mr. Xing could also de-
pend 'on the first four seats of Ont-
ario to give l+im supporters, lire de-

he added as he read from a Chat-

ment and extension here and there
in various industries. • 14ir. Mergh-.
en, he said, needed to revise his
speech from three years ago. '
,I. C. Elliott, K. O.
J. C. Elliott, K. ; C., 'df London,
candidate for West 1Vliddleser, 'said
that people had experienced a wage
of prosperity that had swept over
Canada of late. Only in 10 buy. -
gets since Confederation had a.gov-
ernment been able to report de-
creases in the national: debt, and of
'these three had occurred during the
present Governments's tenure of ef-
fice. Everybody knew, he said
that the country wan not suffering
as it had in 1922, yet one would not
be aware of this if he listened to the
Conservative Leader.
Capt. Fred Sanderson, of St.
Marys, Liberal candidate in South
Perth, spoke briefly, but in a man-
ner which proved his ability clearly.
He was a staunch supporter of Mr.
King's attitude on the present , &act-
ion issues, and vouched his enders-.
ation of Mr. McMillan, South Huron
Liberal candidate. -
Rt. Hon. W. 1.. Mackenzie King
When the Prime Minister entered
the grounds he was received with a
great ovation which was renewed:
when he was called upon to speak.
When he arose he was presented
with a beautful bouquet of roses by
two little girls, Jean Stanbury and
Miss Jeanette Taman. The roses
came from the garden of. Mr. Grn.
Ward. Two large .hampers of bea-
utiful gladioli, from the gardeu of
Mr. 3% S. Harvey, adorned the pkat -
for

The speaker again voiced his ap-
preciation of the non-political re-
ception tendered him in' the morning
The success, of bis. government he
attributed to the fact that he was
surrounded by able colleagues. No
prime; minister 'ever had more loyal
supporters, he said.

the last 20 years they would remain
in power; for <ihotlier 'years The
first duty of a public man is to see
the needs of his country and to try,
to meet thein regardless of the con-
sequences.
Taxation
The burden of taxation, especially
on. the householder, was exceptional-
ly heavy at the present time. Mr.
King stated, and that burden had
been brought there by the late war.
When the Conservative administer-
ed the affairs of the war they did so

Meighen was prime minister. The

office with only one majority before.
the speaker was appointed, when
that one was removed. Yet it had
carried on for -four years with noth-
ing more than nominal majority.
"Mr. Meighen says . the country
isn't getting the immigrants it needs
There are tworeasons for that. One
is Mr, Meighen himself: The other
is the great cost of bringing them
here. Mr. Meighen has talked about
the prosperity of the country to the
south and had discouraged imini
grants to come to Canada. He had
made a statement without founda-
tion that 2000 factories had closed
down. Things have been depressed
the world over; Industry and bus-
iness is beginning to revive. It is
the harvest of the ,work of the past
few years. We %e have started it on
the track of prosperity and we want
to see it progress and stop the de-
traction on the part of political op-
ponents. The speaker would ri
thousand times sooner give up office
than see the country go back. The
cost of bringing a family to Canada
has increased nom $150 to $4b0.
