At the Alberta convention in Edmonton the Conservative party named Mr. Hendrick as its nominee in Medicine Hat after supporters urged unity. C S Blanchard praised Hendrick and urged all Conservatives to unite. Col Sissons and others pledged support. Hendrick, a former England immigrant turned Ontario and Alberta railway worker, currently a Medicine Hat conductor, accepted the nomination.
A. A. McGILLIVRAY argues the Conservative party provides a new path from past provincial politics. He says federal and provincial issues should be kept separate, mocks the Greenfield administration, and pledges a true farmer government with a candidate in every constituency.
Speaker Gillivray attacks Greenfield governance and Perren Baker blamed for exams failures. He outlines Conservative plans to balance the budget, reduce constituencies, cut luxuries, repeal harmful laws, and launch an Alberta immigration program led by a provincial board to settle 80 to 100 million acres of arable land.
The speaker argues for a conservative policy focusing on Alberta’s interests. He urges attracting migrants to boost agriculture and labor, reduce taxes, and pay debts. He claims increased population will spur factories and wealth, and asks the audience to unite and back Hendrick to victory at the polls.
