The Abbotsford theatre was again
filled to capacity on Tuesday evening,
when Mr. G. G. McGeer, K.C., Lib-
eral candidate for this riding, ad-
dressed an enthusiastic audience. Mr.
O. Benedict was chairman. Mr. E. D,
Barrow made a few brief and appro-
priate remarks ahd convincing state-
ments, Mr, J. H. MacDonald of Van-
couver, one of the most influential
men in the lumber business, also
spoke, considering the Liberal policy
from a business standpoint; touching
at some length on the budget, New
Zealand and non-British treaties, the
lumber, pulp and paper, auto and
Salmon industries,

Mrs. McGeer and Mrs. Barrow
were also on the platform. Mr. Mc-
Geer then addressed the meeting.
Some interruption was caused at in-
tervals, which the speaker inferred to
be an organized effort to break up
the meeting, but was effectually
quelled by Mr. McGeer’s platform
aptitude. Commencing his speech,
Mr. McGeer referred to his early
school days at Langley Prairie, his
experience as an ironmoulder, his
