Juty 11, 1923 CONSERVATIVE SPEECHES The campaign speeches of Captain Black and T. S. Baxter Monday night were typical Conservative speeches. In matters of fact they could be pulled all to pieces but to do so does not seem worth while. It is part of the game of politics and speeches of that type have little effect on the electorate.

"Nelson is always glad to welcome Dr. MacLean. While a great maoy people do not support his government and believe that the time has come for a change the premier is popular personally and has in Nelson as elsewhere in the province many personal friends' who do net see eye to eye with him in his policies or those of his government. "No doubt the opera house tonight will be well filled by supporters of both parties who wlli wish to hear the premier of the province and who will Aw up to Nelson's well earned reputation of giving both aides a courteous and friendly hearing and then use their own good judgment at the polls." the campaign The Interior News says: There is a great difference between Dr. MacLean and Dr. Tolmle. Tire former is far from being an orator, but he does know tke business of British Columbia government. He knows how to fill in the half -told stories of opponents, such as in the matter of the public debt and its origin and development. Dr. MacLean is a man with an intelligent and business-like ntry to tell and he tells it rather plainly, even poorly from the standpoint of those who like to hear a little fireworks, while Dr. Tolmie is a man witb nothing to fiay ana sfys.

Were we wkp in nutting our IJfe's effort, our' brawn, our brains, our money, into this Province? Were we, and those hardy pioneers who wrested this vast domain from the wilderness, mistaken in the belief that this, indeed, was the "land of opportunity?" Let us sum up the achievements of the past ten years. Let us look the situation auuarely in the fare and ate whether or not our efforts hate been fruitful, and our faith in BritUh Columbia and her potentialities Justified. The development of our natural resource has centred the eyes of the world on British Columbia, and hat attracted thousand to our province. Today we haie a -population of 617,030. The last census showed only 392,480. Today we huve an invested capital In industries and commerce of 1.H37 million dollars. Ten years afio It was only 650 million. We have harnested more of our nighty watercourses. Today they are delivering 460,56 11. P., at compared with 231,700 11.1. ten years ago, and we still have millions available! Industrial production totalled $1,955,436,616 In 1926. In 1916, $807,119,736. Our payrolls have drown from 78 million to 175 million dollars annually, lilting each Industrial worker the greatest individual buying power of any In the Dominion. Our commerce hat Increased from 43 million tons, carried by 51,104 ships In 1916, to 83 million tons and 95,C00 ships. Today we control 17',; of Canada's entire export trade. The value of orea taken from our mountains has steadily mounted In the last ten years from 42 million dollars to 67 millions . . . 59 Increase . . . yet our mineral resource have only been scratched within the transportation area! Our fisheries produced 27 million dollar in 1926; 14 million In 1916; and our main Industry, lumbering, has risen In the same period from 42 million to 84 million dollar . . . 139 Increase! . While we are not usually looked upon a an agri-cultural province, yet we produced no less than 17 million dollar worth of farm product In 1926, a com pared with 32 million ten year ago. Our total agricultural wealth is estimated at 300 million dollars. Our school population ha Increased during the past ten years from 64.570 to 101.688; school by 31 ; teacher by 71' ,. Construction Ciew from $2,800,000 In 1916 to the amazing figure of $27,300,000 In 1926; while during the same period we added no less than five thousand mile to the then existing 26,000 mile of mad and trail. Today the value of our bridge alone I $8,848,001! Seriously studying this ten year' record, can we ever question for a moment the wisdom of our choice of British Columbia a the scene of our life's work. Can we ever doubt our faith? Moit emphatically NO! For these phenomenal achievements speak In no mean terms nf that which miy be accomplished under sane legislation, when effort I sincere, when there i unity of purpose and faith to move mountains. With confidence unbounded we can all put our shoulder to the wheel of the next decade and roll up another record which will reflect still greater fame on our fair province, and create even greater prosperity for its industries, it communities.
