HARVEY DORRANCE AGAIN NOMINATED IN THE WEST The following is a report in part given by tete Tisdale Recorder of the nomination tneetimg at which Mr. Harvey Dorrance was nominated.

L, A,, was again ,the choice of the Liberal .nom- inating convention for the Tisdale eomstituency held. in Tisdale last Thursday, and will for the :second (lime carry the Liberal colours in the tforth'coming election, which it is ex- pected will be 'hold sometime in June, Dr, 'Myles of Tisdale was also nom- inated 'bust with the vote being in favour of the present member be was accorded a unanimou-s choice of the Party. The convention was one of the largest held here for some time past. The hall was well filled 'and 92 delegates registered from the various polls despite the poor condition of the roads. :Fallowing his nomination Mr. Dorrance thanked the sheeting dor the support 'given flim end pledg ed to ,carry on when elected as he had done in the past foul years. He had, he stated, the interest of the con- stituency at -heart and would do his utmoit in •providing the necessary es- sentials for the good of the commun- ity and the province at large. The meeting was smoothly conducted and not a dissenting voice was heard -dur- ing the afternoon. . At the meeting following the nom- ination Mr, Dorrance, 'M. L. A., spoke for half an hour and gave a resume •of the past four years .of fhe govern- ment's adnsinictration. During the. poor crop years in the south Mr. Dorrance stated that 7000 families had been moved north, and that 1'000 of the number had been located in Tisdale constituency. This in itself had been and was still a vast under- taking, for many had to be re- established on farms and provided for, for fhe time being. He somewhat criticised the C. C. F. and the Social Credit organizations and was unable to see how their platforms could be carried out to any better advantage. Public debt, the growth of the pulp wood industry in the north and other matters were dealt with in an able manner by Mr, Dorrance. Om -the outset of his address the Hon. J. 'G. Taggart, minister rf agriculture, • spoke of the present members of the Legislature, Me. MacFarlane and Mr. Dorrance and gave therm credit for much efficient work carried on in their •constituen- •cies. Of Mr. Dorrance he stated that there was not a snore efficient mem- ber in the House than the member for Tisdale. IOn committee he was a valued member and one of the most clear headed thinkers. Mr. Taggart spoke of 'conditions as they existed at present compared to '119215, when the value of farm 'products in Sas- 'katchewan were 'valued at more than 333 -million dollars. He 'stated that in 1.4317 the province raised'less wheat than in i1(9A5' •when the province was first organized. The speaker dealt for some time on the enormous task -of providing seed end feed for the far- mers of the province. Figures as to amount and 'cost were quoted, which was almost unbeliev'a'ble, 'Other 'par- ties were criticised by Mr. Taggart and 'he.'stated that the C. C. F. and Social Credit platforms 'w'ere not 'bas- ed on sound ,principles. In ,concluding he tasked for the eco -operation in again. electing MT. Dorrastee as member for this constituency.
