Days of MacDonald Recalled
By Georfje Spotton's Speech
The Evening Telegram, Toronto, Friday, March 2nd, 1928
Like a Breath From the Past to Hear governments," protested Mr. Veniot,
Real Political Speech in Parlia-
ment—Robb Budget Found Want-
ing—Even Front Bench Statesmen
Stirred as New M. P. of North
Huron Flayed Postmaster -General
and Premier King.
Ottawa, Ont., March 2 (Staff
Special)—Like a breath from the
past, a good old-fashioned political
speech crept into the debate last
night. It was reminiscent of the
days when the old parties were led
by partisans like Macdonald and
Laurier, and the leaders did not spend
their times writing performer} notes
to each other. It was as refreshing
as the breeze that precedes a summer
shower. It woke the sleepers and
made even the statesmen in the front
benches sit up and take notice.
George Spotton, the newly -elect
of North Huron, provided the wel-
come variation. He is a large man,
is George, with a voice to match. And
he told the story of the late by-elect-
ion with sidelights that kept the Con-
servative benches rocking with lau-
ghter.
He recalled the procession of great
Grits who filled the concessions of hie
riding with their eloquence. Yes, he
even noticed the caliope that led the
Kings, the Cannons, the Malcolms
and the Eiliots to the halls and school
houses. There, he said the Robb
Budget had been put on trial and to the United States, what would I
found wanting—found wanting by ,
the verdict of the people at the polls. '
Nor could he find the abundant
prosperity that was preached in those
school houses as well as on the floors
of parliament. And as evidence that
everybody was not wealthy, he point-
ed to a mail carrier back home. This
man had carried the maids for a beg-
garly pittanee for fifteen years, Then
when another man offered to do the
same job for the same money the
Departement had written to the de-
feated Grit candidate to ask who
should get the contract. lie appealed
to Postmast-General Veniot, who was
in his seat, if this was fair treatment
—if the men who carry His Maj-
esty's mail were being treated as they
deserved.
"It's been the sante under all
"Yes," thundered Mr. Spotton,
"but there has been more politics in
the Postoflice Department under the
present Minister, than ever before,"
Didn't Try Comeback
And for once Mr. Veniot, rougli
and ready politician that he is, didn't
attempt a comeback. He appeared
to realize that the best he could
hope for was the worst of it.
There was a burst of laughter
from both sides when Mr. Spotton
followed up his thrusts at the Gov-
ernment with an appeal for help for
Goderich Harbor. But he wasn't as
foolish as he listened. He pointed to
the promises that had been made by
Grit canvassers during the election.
"By reasons of those promises the
Grit canvassers during the election.
"By reason of those promises there
was a turnover of nine hundred in
Goderich," he declared. "The people
of Goderich did their part. Now let
the Government keep its promises.
"But what do we find?" he asked,
as he held up a blue book. "That
the G»t'r'rnment only provided $9000
extra for the harbor. Nine thousand
—why they spent more than that in
one ward."
But it was when he was discussing
immigration that Mr. Spotton drew
the biggest Tory laugh: "If I had a
boy of twenty-one who wanted to go

vincial Treasurer, who presented the
Budget Statement, to the Legislature
last Thursday,

his head thoughtfully for a moment.
"The only time" he continued, "the
Premier of Canada went out to make
a living it was in the United States."
But aside from the Spotton effort,
the day was filled with run of mill
oratory.

A Bet That
Was Lost
9y A'IA11I1-1A V. MONROE.
Charlie Perkins and 1 had been
gaged for a mouth when be curate
Inc and said that his friend frilly A
urst was going to be married --bat
if the girl he expected to well did
go back oa him,
"Why du you stay that?" t asks
"Because I've known the girl It
going to marry for several years, a
she's not to be relied on,"
"Whom is he going to marry?"
" A.lolly Bristow."
I knew Molly, but had no such op
ion of her. A week later Charlie s
to me:
"See here, Kit, I want yam' perm
sion to do something—to win a b
I've bet Billy Ashurst a champag
dinner that 1 can take Mollyllristo
away from him within thirty da
To accomplish this I must do so
spooning with her, dud, of course,
less you understood it there would
trouble between you and me."
I told Charlie that there was no w
dam in what be proposed and it wou
make trouble for some one else ev
if not for him and me. But he a
peered to be miffed and said that
hadn't confidence in him; I would

tied. and jealousy was bound to se
any couple's married life. This w
not pleasing to me, but so long
Charlie was not yet my husband I co
eluded to let him do as he liked.
I told him to go ahead and win h
bet if he could.
I didn't doubt that his intentio
were what he stated them to be, b
I slid not approve of them. They a
peered frivolous and unworthy of
man with whom I was to be united f
life. But it seemed wise in Inc
accede to his proposltion. IIe ha
shown weakness in making it, and
he became unpleasantly involved
might get a glimpse of what thea
was in him admirable or the reverse.
While Charlie was winning his b
his visits to me were cut in half. Se
meal of my intimate friends advise
me of what was going on betwee
him and Miss Bristow, and one of the
hinted that 1 had better look out fo
my fiance, for there had been an a
fair between hits and Molly before h
had become engaged to me. Tills wa
news that I did not relish, and I begs
to suspect there was more in his a
tensions to ler than the winning of
bet. But I did not betray rey surdcion to bim. On the contrary, 1 pre
tended to be satisfied.
Leonard Sweetzer, a man twen
years my senior, had been attentiv
to me before I met Charlie and, hear-
ing of Charlie's attention to Molly
Bristow and inferring that my engage -
meat had been broken off, renewed his
suit, 1 was but eighteen when be
proposed to me and had not appreciat-
ed hpn. Two years had passed since
then—two years of development for
me. Now Charlie's flippancy stood out
plain in contrast with Leonard Sweet-
zer's character.', Leonard proposed to
me, 1 refused hint, for I did not lu-
end to go Lame on my troth to Charlie.
Something in my manner, t suppose,
gave my suitor reason to think that
his case was not hopeless, and he ex•
eted a promise from Inc that iu case
rtny change came in the situation 1
would send for him.
