Hall, North Vancouver, last Saturday, How- ard E. Ryan, Labor candidate, outlined the principles which he proposed to follow, if elected to the Provincial House. Roundly scoring both the old line parties on their failure to consider the interests of the people, Mr. Ryan stressed particularly the need of shortening the hours of work with a corresponding drastic in- crease in the basic rates of pay, to ensure a decent standard of living for afl. He favored com- plete revision of the existing social service legislation to bring them into line with the rights of labor, and particularly the Workmen's Compensation Act, Old Age Pensions and Mothers'ension Act. He stood for National Insurance and Health Insurance and a drastic change in the Male Minimum Wage'Act. Mr. Ryan spoke strongly on the Land Sale Tax, stating that the Moratorium should be gener- ously extended to afi home own- ers from foreclosure and forfeit- ure., He favored the recall and was opposed to Section 98 of the Criminal Code. Supporting Mr. Ryan as speak- ers were G. B. Macaulay and P. Thompson of the N.L.C. of Van- couver; Mr. Roger Smith, Gerald Pelton, K.c., Col. Lyons of the I.C.C.F. Mr. - Ryan's yfuiciea were supported by this group. L O. D. E.

J. M. BRYAN OPFNS CAMPAIGN HERE J. M. Bryan, independent can- didate, opened his campaign here last Thursday evening in the Legion Hsfi. Major Hargreaves and others were on the platform and gave short addresses, while V. V. Vinson acted as chairman. Mr. Bryan in a fighting speech referred briefiy to the events connected with the recent Lib- eral Convention in North Van- couver and went into some detail regarding his actions while s member of the Legislature snd as reeve of North Vancouver District, particularly the Capil- ano Golf Course scheme inaug- urated by him as a relief meas- ure. Unemployment was the great problem, but he did not believe that the solution of this snd the depression lay in the knocking down of the props erected by 1000 years of civilir ation. Planned public works of needed projects should be und- ertaken, relief camps abolished, and men on relief paid a fair wage. The province should enter into an agreement with Ottawa to put into efFect a National Un- employment Insurance Act on s contributory basis, the rate of workmen's compensation based on a man's wages at the time of an accident and Health Insur- ance put in force. He favored a Provincial Department of Muni- cipalities snd a Public Utflities Commission. AB education should be a charge on the prov- ince, also mothers'ensions and social services. He favored a First Narrows Bridge, the char- ter for which had been intro- duced into the Legislature by himself, and the original agree- ment to complete the P.G.E. to Squamish through Wlest Van- couver must'be honored.

HALL Before the largest audience ever assembled in the present political campaign on the North Shore, the Liberal candidate, Herbert 8, Wood, K.C., on Mon- day in the K.P. Hali, outlined his policy with a directness snd sincerity which enthused his hearers and brought forth thun- ders of apylsuse. He made a strong appeal for the Conserva- tive vote on the North Shore as owing to the fact that there were only four Conservative candi- dates in the running in the whole of B. C. and none of these were on the North Shore, he was not asking them to desert their party, their party having de- serted them. Regarding the policies of the C.C.F. he men- tioned that their platform was impossible owing to the fact that they would not be able to raise money to carry it out and that also it would keep out British investors from B.C. As to devel- opment of the North Shore, Mr. Wood stated his every efFort, if elected, would be directed to- wards the North Shore harbor development and the building of the First Narrows Bridge, also a public highway to Garibaldi Park. This would create work for thousands of men and the road would also become a con- necting link to the Cariboo country. The other speakers were Ex- Msyor G. W. Vance, MacKenzie Mathieson, Mr. McLesn and Mr. as chairman.
