COWPER HANDLES
CLEMENTS

(Continued from Page 1)

 

not know at the time that Mr.
Cowper was a Comox-Atlin man,
and said ke was quite willing to
meet him in public discussion
every night now till election was
over.

Supported the Leaders

Mr. Angers in a brilliant speech
met Mr. Clements’ argument that
Canada’s progress was due to
the National Policy, quoting Sir
Charles Tupper as evidence that
when the Liberals came to power
seventeen years after the National
policy was put in force, Canada
was in a state of bankruptcy.

Mr. Manson confined himself
principally to a criticism of Mr.
Cowper's speech, charging that
it was theoretical, not practical.
He denied that England’s change
from poverty to wealth after adopt-
ing free trade was due to free trade.

The Fun Started

The best part of the evening’s
entertainment started when Mr.
Cowper rose to reply to the
speeches of Messrs. Clements and
Manson. After disposing of Mr.
Manson effectively, the speaker
went on to say: “I have found
words to express my amazement
at Mr. Manson’s amazing ideas
on reciprocity. In fact, I was
prepared for them; I have heard
Mr. Manson make speeches before.
But for Mr. Clements, I will not
attempt to find words. He is
beyond words. But after listening
to him tonight I can sympathise
with that Porcher Island settler
whe wrote to me saying, ‘I have
been a Conservative all my life,
and last week went to Prince
Rupert to hear our party candi-
date. After hearing hira, I am
going back to Porcher Island to
advise ali my friends to vote for
Duncan Ross.’ (Laughter).

A Political Weathercock

“Tl have never witnessed a more
beautiful example of a_ political
weathercock. Without any eco-
nomic bearings, he has drifted all
over the map. Every part of his
speech was contradicted by some
other part, not merely in_ its
argument, but in the simplest facts.

“T recall to you that in one
portion of his speech he told you
that he had been a farmer all his
life. In another portion of his
speech he toid you that he had
devoted many years of his life
to fighting the trusts in Parliament.
In another portion of his speech
he told yeu he was a pioneer of
B. C. In another portion of his
speech he told you he had been
twelve years in the milling business.
And I think it is the truth when
I tell you, that in Prince Rupert
he is only remembered as the one-
time representative of the Stand-
ard Oil Company.

Gave It the Lie

Springing to his feet, Mr. Clem-
ents exclaimed angrily, ‘I say
that is not true, and I demand
an opportunity to speak. I will
‘answer that lie so that no man
will ever utter it again.”’

Mr. Cowper—‘‘I will give you
a chance to reply, right now. And
I will quote you my authority. I
will read you the words of the
Prince Rupert Journal at the
time when Mr. Clements was
nominated. It said, ‘Mr. Clements
will be remembered as the rep-
resentative of the Standard QOjl
Company in the early days of
Prince Rupert.’ (Applause, during
which Mr. Clements subsided).
Now what has Mr. Clements to
say to that?’

Mr. Clements—''I say that after
listening to you, I wouldn’t believe
« word that appears in the Jour-
nal.’’ (Applause from the road
foremen, etc.)

Mr. Cowper—'But the Journal
is not my paper. The Journal is
the Conservative organ, which is
supporting your campaign.”’

Mr. Clements—‘‘Well, I would
not believe a word it says, just
the same. More than that I
think you've spoken long enough.
If you speak any longer I will
insist on speaking again.”’

Is a Pioneer

Mr. Cowper—~'Mr. Clements,
who brought up these personalities,
also told you that he was a pioneer
of British Columbia, twenty-two
years ago, before Mr. Cowper
ever heard of it, and that he
lived in Prince Rupert before Mr,

Cowper knew there was such a

place. He asks for the votes of
the pioneers, saying he is a pioneer
himself. Well, I will tell you the
kind of pioneer he is. He is the
kind of pioneer who came here,
and then quit. He quit and went
back to West Kent, (laughtey).
And he stayed in West Kent, until
the farmers of West Kent decided
they had no use for him in Pailia-
ment and voted him out. Then
he quit West Kent, and came
to Prince Rupert. And a little
while after he quit Prince Rupert.
He said he had had enough of
Prince Rupert and wanted to live
in Vancouver. That is the kind
of pioneer spirit Mr. Clements
(Laughter). And he only
back when he heard that
was a vacancy in Comox-

is.
came
there
Atlin.

Mr. Clements—‘‘I object to this
sort of thing. It is all false. 1
did not quit.”

Mr. Cowper—"I want to be
fair to you, Mr. Clements. Tell
the audience how long you stayed
in Prince Rupert.” -

“Ten months.”

Mr. Cowper—‘And then did
you stay, or did you quit? (No
response). You quit. You know
you quit. Ant on September
22nd, you will quit Prince Rupert
again and never come back. (Ap-
plause).

Economic - Contradictions

“But Mr. Clements’ economics
are as cofitradictory as his facts.
He wanted higher protection at
one part of his speech, and in
another abused the Government
for not taking the duty off agri-
cultural implements. He wants
both free trade and protection.”
Mr. Clements—'‘You are mis-
preresenting me.”

Mr. Cowper—"“Then I will
change my tactics. I want to
be fair to you. Did you or did
you not say that you would
build the tariff wall higher, and
then say to the United States
capitalists ‘If you want our natural
resources, you must bring your
millions and your machines and
manufacture here in Canada.’ Is
that fair to you?”

Mr. Clements—‘'Yes, that is.”’

Mr. Cowper—‘Then I will pro-
ceed to show how absurd your
idea of economics is. (Laughter).
I wili illustrate it to you. The
green cloth on this billiard table
represents the continent, This
line of books I erect is the tariff
wall dividing the two portions.
On one side are natural resources
and eight million people, amply
supplied with manufactures; o1
the other side are ninety-two mil-
lions. You want the capital and
the machines of the ninety-two
millions to come to this side. Is
that right?”

Mr. Clements—‘‘Yes.’

Mr. Cowper—‘‘Then watch and
see what happens. The machines
get to work and turn out manu-
factures. There is no market
oa this side. They goods are
needed on the other. They are
taken to the boundary, and here
they come in contact with your
big high tariff wall. Explain to
the audience, Mr. Clements, how
they are to get across.”

Mr. Clements—''The United
States can remove the tariff.’’
Mr. Cowper—‘'Precisely.
the reciprocity agreement
joint agreement between the gov-
ernments of Canada and the United
States to remove the tariff. Your
tariff wall to keep trade from
passing has to be removed. Reci-
procity is necessary, before you
can induce your capitalisis to
bring their millions and their
machines to Canada.’’ (Loud ap-

plause),

And

is a

That Printing
Mr. Cowper also called on Mr.
Clements to explain his action
in sending out of the constituency
to Vancouver to have his campaign
printing done, in the light of his
statement that, ‘the only way
to build up a community is to keep
allits trade within his boundaries.”
Mr. Clements’ excuses proved a
source of delight vo the audience.
Which was. It?

Referring to Mr. Clements’
statement that if reciprocity car-
ried all the pulp logs and timber
logs would be taken to the United
States to be manufactured, Mr.
Cowper said: ‘That statement
from a man who has been in
Parliament unfits him from public
life. Mr. Clements either knew
or he did not know that there is
a prevoneial tariff to prohibit the

POLLS CLOSE AT 5 P.M.

In all Dominion elec-
tions the doors of polling
booths open at 9 o'colck
a. m. and close at 5 p.m.
All. votes must be cast
between these hours.
In provincial and muni-
cipal elections the poll-
ing stations remain open
until 7 o'clock in the
evening, a fact which
sometimes creates con-
fusion in the mind of
the elector. Do not for-

 

get that on September
21 the doors of the poll-
ing booths will be closed
sharply on the hour of 5.

export of pulpwood and saw logs.
If he did not know, his ignorance
is inexcusable; if he did know,
then he was trying to bluff you.
I invite you, Mr. Clements to tell
the audience whether when you
made that statement you
ignorant of the facts, or you were
trying to deceive them. Which
was it?”’

Mr. Clements merely waved nis
hand in resignation.

Another Bluff

Mr. Cowper ther took him over
his statement that if elected he
would go to the Railway Com-
mission and have the $54 a
freight rate from Prince Rupert
to Hazelton reduced (Mr, Clements

were

ton

man on this point). Mr. Cowpei
by questioning dragged from Mr,
Clements admissions that the $54
per ton was largely for
freight, and that the Railway
Commission had no jurisdiction
over steamboat rates
The Montcalm Incident

Mr. Cowper explained the silver-
ware expenditure on the Mont-
calm by asking the meeting whether
if they invited Mr, Clements home
io supper their wives would not
bring out the best china and a
clean tablecloth.

“You bet we would,’’ said the
road foremen, etc.

“Of course you would,”
tinued the speaker, ‘‘and that is
just how the Government feels.
The Montcalm is used in summer
very frequently to entertain dis-
tinguished visitors to our country,
and the Government in buring
$2,000 worth of silverware for it,
knew that the people of Canada
wanted them to entertain visitors
in a manner befitting the sation.
Mr. Clements’ ideas of cheese-
paring national hospitality did
not even go in the cent belt, where
the farmers of West Kent rejected
him at last election after he had
told them about the silverware
on the Montcalm. I am sure
they will not go in Comox-Atlin.”’

Another Bluff Called
Before concluding, Mr. Cowper
thanked Mr. Clements for agreeing
to meet him every night for the
rest of, the campaign, and_ said
he would accordingly arrange a
joint meeting on Tuesday night at
Kitselas,

Mr. Clements pulling a wry
face said: ‘There you’ go again.
You know | didn’t mean that it
way.”

Mr, Cowper—'‘The audience are
judges. They heard your words.
Will you, or will you not continue
the debate on Tuesday night at
Kitselas?”’

He scored in the most scathing

might get in on grafts and secure
patronage. ‘‘No commerical peli-

good of their country irrespective
of party or patronage. Men,”
