1 To the Electors of Huron:|
i After consultation with outstanding temperance men in this riding, I am
n in the field for election to the Legislature as an Independent Temperance
candidate.1
g The eyes of the Province are on this riding. The Canada Temperance 1
i Act passed by an overwhelming majority of the people of this County has:i
n " been flouted by the Hepburn Government, and beer rooms have been estab-|
i lished within its bounds in defiance of the will of that majority. The people 1
were not allowed to vote on the question of establishing these beer rooms 1
=■in what had been recognized for many years as dry territory; but now that
==they are established the people are told-they must take a vote to get rid of i
n them.§
« And, if a vote should be taken, who will be allowed to vote? Only the |
1 peoPle of the Towns in which the beer rooms are situated. The people of 1
s the Townships surrounding these Towns, who are affected by theqi almost g
n as much as if they were residents of the Towns, will have no voice in the;e
1 decision. ;1
i Is this Democracy? Is it Fair Play? Do we have to stand for it?s
|In the circumstances forced upon us by the politicians, the only way to
n secure a clear expression of the will of the people is by the candidacy of a
i non-party man placing this question before the electors as the paramount i
|issue.
n The candidate endorsed by the so-called ‘Temperance Federation Con-
|vention” was upheld by some forty voters at that convention. Where are 1
=votes going from the thousands of temperance people who never even heard
n of a “temperance convention” being held? Not all, by any means, to either i
i of the party candidates this time.
i This is an opportunity, perhaps the nearest we will ever get to taking
|liquor out of party politics.1
Voters, do you believe in letting a few men at Toronto impose their will 1
1 upon the thousands of free and intelligent electors of this County?1
|The eyes of the, Province are on Huron. If we do not speak up for 1
g ourselves, who will? •
