EDITORIAL ALL TALKING HANSON "They're all talking Hanson," as the reply to a query this morning by a citizen who meets a large number of working-men. It's curious how victory seems o be In the, air.

Today, "they're all talking Hanson." Monday they will be voting Hanson. It's not necessary to wait for (be voting to know that the victory is already won. As the Interior News says, "Hanson is elected." HIGH STANDARD IN CANADA At the Conservative meeting last night T. S.

It was a great compliment that Mr. Baxter paid to Canada and to the Mackenzie King Government which has been in power for the past nine years. If the country has been so prosperous that the standard of Jiving has been well maintained, it could hardly be argued that the government responsible for that condition should be discarded and a new experimental policy Introduced, Those who earn wages and who might be expecting big things from a change of government might well ponder over the figures quoted by Mr. Baxter, The Liberals, in spite of all assertions to the contrary, have maintained the standard of living high, Why then grumble? The imaginary pictures painted by the Tory orators are creatures of the brain. The pictures painted by the Mackenzie King; Government are pictures of happy homes and a prosperous people. The present little lapse is only a slight reflex of a world condition In which Canada b suffering less than any other country.

Do Not Be Fooled Again The "Empire" scribe says the Liberals are slipping and gives as authority Toronto "Saturday Night" which he describes as Independent. The quotation was taken from Lobby and Qallery and was written by Buchanan who Is the most rabid Tory partisan In Canada, and universally known as such. The "Empire" might Just as well quote from Harry Stevens and call him an Independent. This reminds us of what the local Tory or;un. published during the lasi few daya of the 1920' campaign when it was trying to make the electorate belicvd that Meihcn.wa gpli)g to be returned to power and Mackenzie King defeated. We Jtiare before us its issue of September 14, 1926. which carried screaming headlines stating that the Liberals admitted the election was lost; that "Mackenzie King was Accessory to Forgery and Conspiracy" and so forth. And what was the result? i!i..jThe people fcfjBkrjqnajweje.badly.foqled.and Mackenzie King rode ' backflnto powrirtwWiniplg majority. , If Mackenzie King could win In 1926 under the stigma of the "Customs Scandal" raised by Harry Stevens and when Melghcn was Premier, what chance has he of being defeated in this election, when there has not been one word of scandal breathed against the Liberal Government during the whole campaign? Let the voters of Skeena be warned. Let us remember the propaganda of the Tories in 1928. We will be getting It again from now until election day. Let us not be fooled again. j Fa sVvlTrf-fJ mi -gat ft ,..r
