and is he ever handsome. I said to Mrs. Walker, 'the Liberals can sure pick them for looks.' Jane -Is that right, Mary? Oh well, he's a real fine looking chap anyway. I should have known that no one but a P.C.'er could have kept Neil Oliver listening that long. I guess the second speaker must have been a Progressive Conservative because now that I think of it, he spent most of his time praising up the Prime Minister. Jane - That's so-I. had forgotten that last election. Then he must have been a Liberal. Dick says you can't tell a P.C. from a Liberal anyhow. He says when it's all boiled down they have the same platform. Myself, I think Dick is a little unreasonable.. Why shouldn't they use the same platform? It would be foolish to go to the expense of building a separate platform. I took particular notice last night and there .was all kinds of room for the three candidates as well as the chairman.

Jane - Well, I must say the way that last speaker pounded the table and shouted, it was just as well the other candidates wern't too close. He surely told those other fellows a few home truths. Mary - What were his arguments? Jane - Do you know, I couldn't say off hand. I had just spotted Dorothy Boyd's new hat. Have you seen it Mary? That woman has the worst taste in clothes. Mary You haven't told me yet which of the candidates won your vote. Jane - Oh, I'm not going to vote for any of those fellows. I'm going to vote for the independent fellow from over west. Mary - Have you heard him speak? Jane No, I haven't but I've seen his picture and he has such nice eyes. They remind me of a Sunday School teacher we had back home when I was a girl. (Glances at her watch). Dear me, I must get on with my shopping, but it was a real good meeting anyway, Mary; well worth a person's time. After all if we women are going to vote, we want to know what we are voting for.
