Editor !Seafurtlt News, !Dear Sir,—iPerntit mate to issue a further, small .second instalment of declaration of policy of things politi- cal as they are to be in the years just before us. I APPEAL to the young people among my constituents to ut- terly forsake the polities of the two old line parties. Most of their legisla- tion is obsolete and worn out anyway, some of those policies has gone a long way to 'bring about the hard times we are in at the present time. Tlie depressing and stupid, ion ag ressivr legislation of bath the old line parties in those past post-war days that we have just gone through, is altogether and solely responsible for the Canad- ian depression, We should not have had any had we had competent legis- lators. The only thing Young Canada ran do .row w is te see to it properly that they don't legislate for theist any longer. Put in one dozen independent member into the house and I'll guar- antee the rising generation will be well provided for in the matter of good progressive, Democratic legisla- tion. Ttvo dozen would be better. Things back home in the counties will be looked after and your best in- terests assured. Further ailow the to state to middle class voters itt my rid- ing that you will find in me a stead- fast and consistent advocate in the legislative hall's of this country of the best interests of ,things as they ought to be at this end of business. I could fix unemployment and cut off using public atonies for relief with one stroke all my pen. This system is the ,only true 'Democratic way of legi5la- tion, ,In these days small indu>trics itt small country centres itt at a stand- still. This ought not to be. Money is .aent oust of the couhties too much. It oust return again. I'll put you people on the map. Let me at it. Try me once. Let us go? My opponent, the Government can- didate, the auctioneer, the insteran.ce man, he writes insurance to send monies out of the county. I farm to 'help retain money back home where it belongs. Ic[y'friend and opposition to 'my 'left is a worthy fellow but I don't hear much from mint. SLe is too •quiet, Ile dont sell insurance, how- ever. He 'farms. This is a constituency of farmers and ought to elect a farm- er if the agricultural class is ever go- ing to get their rights in :the ie:gzsla tive halls of this country.
