Another Large Audience Hears Rev. , Robert Connell and Ernest Bakewell Rev. Robert Connell of Victoria, C. C. F. Leader of the Opposition in the Legislature, and Ernest Bake- well, MJA. for Mackenzie, addressed another largely attended public meeting in the Moose Hall last night. Both addresses were along somewhat academical and educational lines. His remarks being inspired by matter which had appeared in "Campaign Echoes" during the provincial election contest. Mr. Connell confined hU speech largely to an exposition of the relations of the C. C. F. move ment to Communist and Marxian theories. Mr. Bakewell dealt at some length with the timber Industry and public health service policies of the C. C. F. The meeting was pre sided over -by O. W. Rudderham. "Campaign Echoes" were typical of the campaign which had been ' , carried on In the newspapers against the C. C. R, stated Mr. Con-nelL CommunISm had been set np1 as a spectre to be feared.

He was i prophet of a new drder of things and, like the C. C. F had been op- pooed to violence In bringing about the new order. Intelligent people hould not be frightened by every- . ihmg they saw In Uie newspapers, a d Mr. Connell. As for the two old parties, they would stop at nothing to gain their ends. Concluding, Mr. Connell declared that the C. C. V. stood for the fulfilled hopes ot th3 workers of the country. ' Mr. Bakewell Mr. Bakewell described how the C. C. F. would go into the logging business In a scientific way, making of It a thriving and profitable industry instead of what 'It was today a business In which the logger was sweated for low wages while the operators themselves were losing money. The C. C. F. would employ selective logging methods by which the future supply of logs would be ensured. It would give a decent rate train its own men, make markets and at the same time solve unemployment Under present methods the merchantable timber ot Continued on Pasre SENATOR IS IN TROUBLE I A. K.
