a gember -of ' the former 10Pbarn. and
Nixon Liberal Goveranents, Referring
to the' Liberal'. defeat of ' 1943; • Mr.
Oliver said that the party had perhaps
, become- too complacent and depended
• _ too nitieh. upon the Gevernment's re-
cord. Thi ls would :not happen again;
• the. patty Would make its .appeal on A
( platform Of advanced 'proposals:
•: . Hydro Rate 'question ,
A notated reference was made to
. the *question Of Hydro -power rates.
• This -,came -after a declaration by the
speaker that :,he ' would ,like to see
. adopted a maSter-Nan fpr tlie..building
up of rural Ontario. .There was ,too
mach crowding into the elite". -Some-
• , thing, he, said, could be done , by .way
• a equalizing - power „rates. The pre-
sent Government gave no. evidence Of
ifiterition to do anything to relieve' the
smaller cOnamtinitieg of . the present
discrimination.: in rates.
The Liberals' in this campaign were
not , just attempting,. to -take . the plate
' of the Drew'Goverament as a minority
in the Legislature, saidthe speaker.
7 •They:mere- out. ,:to. win, a Majority_ in
the new House and he believed that
under Mr. Hepburn they , could do it.

Attacking the. 'rebord of theDrew
, Government, he said its 'faith ' prograni
Was "less thanli3Othing."' 'TheY.- talked
• of setting upcounty eoraraittees to tell
. farmers how to , farm, but very few
of these committees had b&eii set .up;
where ,they were set up they were not
of much .use: In the lug .election tile
Conservatives :got many 'farmer votes.
• on their ,. „promise • to take'ioever the
, Toronto stockyards. They had, done
so, but there Was no benefit to the
farmers: - :The.lards Were ' 'never hi.
