Now that the dust and excitement of the visit of Premier Meighen it over and people have lime to look back, at it with a lit tie perspective, Ihey arc realizing that it was not any too alis-factory from a Conservative standpoint Even with all the glamour of the premiership wilh him and also with the excitement of a political campaign he was not able to fill the overflow hall. At the theatre meeting' '.the enthusiasm was nothing like what would be expected for a wiiming party and, Mr. Meighen must have felt it somewhat of a wet blanket when the three cheers foe Jiim was not followed by n tiger. While the meeting was all that could be expected in a Liberal tronghuld, it was nothing to make the Conservative lender over-confident as to the outcome of the coolest; Belated Repentance on Many 8ubjects. .Mr. Meighen waved aside with his hand the idea that Prince Rupert had not received or would not receive proper attention from his party. He did not try to .explain away $ir Henry Drayton, the pre.-enl actiTigpreniieror any other Conservative win; had foiigbt tooth ami nail against' money- being epeul hefc. He did not even deny the Bury attack recently in Edmonton, which wa- made by one of his faithful follow er. Now he ays that Prince Ruperl is a better place than he thought and, wilh a supercUiou tniile remarked that he did not think it would be a bad pjarv i which lo live. Mr. Meighen also showed a hurried repentance in the matter of fish traps, although no word has yet been received thai the operations authorized by them ceased on Monday morning, as promised by one of the speaker. ' The only constructive proposal made by the premier was to raise the tax on products coining into this country from foreign countries. This, one of the speakers admitted, would likely riiise the price to the local consumers, although he intimated that iu time this might right itself; Tried to Fasten Customs CrrVne on Mackenzie King. Mr. Meighen tried lo fasten the customs irregularities tin Mackenzie King. Thee were largely the work of appointees of Hie Conservative regime and the committer of investigation was creuled by Premier King for the purpose of making a clean-up. H." .Stevens, who was a member of the committee, forstalled action by Ihe Government by making charges in Ihe House ot Commons and in that way tried to fasten, the guilt on Ihe Ooy-crnment, but without success. His chief is now' backing him tip oil eve ryplat form. 3 ... J, C.
