' The University of Florida Tropi+ca1 Shall I Vote for IN..G or MANIO There 'is only one decision to be made by the Canadian people on March 26th ... It is this: Shall our country's war effort ,be handed over to unknown, unnamed politicians ... to a make- shift ake- shift cabinet with Dr. Manion as the self-appointed leader ? Or . . . Shall our country's war effort be continued vigorously and faithfully by the known and proven administration of Mackenzie King? That is the question YOU must answer. - Up a BIindAlleyt.—or-Ont in the Open. Mackenzie King offers you something entirely in the open ... the most truly National government Canada has ever known. His parliamentary followers represent the people of every province in Canada: — every section of our country—every economic, social and racial group. There is ntot. an area of this countrq not a single classification of our people ...without proper repre sentation in the Mackenzie King following. Mackenzie King's cabinet- ministers are well known to you. They are broadly experienced men, eager and. able to continue the sort of admin- istration which' brought progress to Canada in tithes of peace and national pride to Canadians since the outbreak of war. The Mackenzie King administration • is answerable to the people of Canada —to no one else. .t It is time for plain speaking. Dr. Manion's pretence of offering "national" government is sheer polit- ical olitical deceit. Because: even if be were elected to office, Dr. Manion could not organize or lead a truty national 'gov- ernment. The parliamentary group which might.follow him would fail to represent all Canada. It would not represent the people of the national Liberal party. It would not represent, 'the people of the C.C.F. party. It would not represent'the pepple of the historic Conservative party which Dr. Manion has now scuttled. Do not be deceived Dr. Manion cannot give you National Government. The best he might give you would be government by unknown followers. He invites you to follow hien up a blind alley— to vote for a government of his own imagination—answerable to some undisclosed political group. The :Responsibility is Now Yours Canada is facing the greatest crisis in her history. It is YOUR responsibility to say how she is to deal with this crisis. Therefore: when you go to the polls on March 26th . you should -consider only what is best for Canada ...what is best for the Empire and our allies what is the sure, direct road to Victory and Peace.
