VOTE FOR LOCAL OPTION and ABOLISH THE BAR ROO Beware (f the Fraudulent Liquor Literature. 1i It is intended to deceive and to stampede 'the voters from the real issue. For example, the dead manifesto, 13 Months old, signed by less than 2O of the more than 200 business and professional men of Owen Sound. To -day - it will stand close scrutiny, because it does not represent Owen Sound, nor, in some cases, the firms concerned. Notably is this so with ',McDougal and Lemon. The junior partner signed the manifesto, using the firm's stamp, without the knowledge or contient of the senior partner. Mr. :Mel )ougal has repeatedly expressed his indignation, at that action, and states that lit is a supporter of the Local Option By-law. That is a sample, and an exli tistive scrutiny of that 1907 list. and of all the productions of the Liquor party will riveal the same unsoundness and unreliability. VOTERS ' Kindly remember thtit these productions are preparers by the Liquor party iu defence of their own business. as anybody will admit, without any care for the well-being of the public.

DEAR SIR, - Tn further answer to your kind inquh•y of *Mime time ago, i am sending you a copy .1 Friday's "Sun." in which you will find description of the falsification of Police Court returns by our anti -Local Option friends here. They were printed in `The Citizen," the barroom campaign'she.•t here. and I understand they are being distributed in all districts where Local Option is being tried. 1 trust that you will make use of this to its fullest extent. The Police Court Clerk. Menzies. has admitt.d his error and the correctness of these figures. except a misprint in Pot, which I hare corrected in pen, and the having out of a line of Assaults in 1907. These are both eorrecteJ in pen in the copy sent you. The totals in each case are correct. With kind regards, and wishing for you a very pleas ant New Year, and good ruceesrs in your campaign. 1 am, Yours very truly. C. A.

STICK TO THE ISSUE. Hate it. is —BAR -ROOMS ARE BAD. Bad for Buaiaess, Social Life. Politics, Morals, and for every GOOD interest, LOCAL OPTION CLOSES THE BARROOMS. The Leal Option law is a geed law. it satisfies. it stays. the hotels. See the statement from Owen Sound on this page. Sip r- ience has shown that hotel -keepers )ter Nor and w-tu, NOT observe tOa• license law. Id' lioderich, for example. three large fines were imposed in recent months for L-tw-mte.re N4. by hotel and hair -keepers. Because Local Option has been a remarkable suc- cess In every munlcip3Uty where it• has been fairly tried. The liquor party can point t r only one case of seeming non-sucecis, : Owen Sound. But although for nearly two years Loral Opt ion was not enforced it has been vigorously and, most successfully enforced for one whole year. Read the statement of convictions in this respect under head of "The True Case in Owen Sound." Because Local Option Helps Business, brings more trade to town, and makes industries more pros- perous. It brings disaster to only two kinds of business. the liquor trade and the undertaker. All other lists increase and prosper under Local Option. The liquor business' best defence seems that it is determined to defy the law, else why suggest that Local ODtios would create spies and perjurers ? 7. Because Local Option will help to solve the problem of the unemployed. The increase of linsines, and indu,tr•y will mean work for all—even the few employees of the liquor trade will find letter and more honor- able employment. 8. Because- Local Option will bring large increases in revenue to the town. The loss of license fees will quickly be compensated for by the• in- creased number of buildings and residences, which fact has been repeatedly proved in Local Option towns. 9. Because Local Option will eventually reduce the tax rate. It increases the vale" of property. Real estate in Local Option centres has increased in value from 80 to over 3) per cent. since the bar- rooms cloned. Read "the Effect of Locel'Veto on the Taxed. A state- ment of the situation in Goderich based upon the actual figures given by the'Iown Assessor"—isatin in:card form. 10. Because Local Option is the Best Temperance Law we have. It banishes the Bar. Temperance consists in s moderate use of things that are beneficial and wholesome, and in total abs inence 'rem those tbingn that are harmful. and alcohol is one of the latter. Here is a Real Sound - - Statement from Orillia. OriUia Times, November a6, 1908 In view of the fact that in a large store in town.

Owen Sound is very much in the lirnelight these days. From end to rust of the Province—and throughout the Duwinion and parte of the United States—wherever suppression of the drink traffic k in issue—Owen Sound is known. It is held up by the bar- room advocates as the horrible ex- ample of the failure of local option. They refer to Owen Sound, and Owen Sound ooly. About Midland, West Toronto. Orillia, we bear nothing : it is Owen Sound, Owen Sound al- ways, There is • reason for this. In the good oil days, when the bars and back rooms did bustnet atinut 1644 hours per week, Owen Sound had a hard reputation as a drinking town. When the people, three years ago, took it in hand to wipe out the stain. the liquorices were first amused, then alarmed. then ,soundly beaten. But they said, '•Here is a town with a reputation ; with a crowd of good fel- lows who never .did keep the law. We shall make our fight here. We shill show the pe•'lite of Canada that, no matter how twat option may work in the rural districts, it ie no good in a town." Anil straightway they set about discreditingthe law. Yon all know what they e dune Musa Mae 191141 ; bow they have bee lined again and again --and some of t m gaoled ; how they have used all the r ingenuity to trick, the inspector. and \tr escape conviction when caught. itis an oft - told tab;. You wonder why they have been so persistent. Because they ere depend- ing on Owen Sound to save theta from tieing kicked out of Cattails- yea, out of America. They are making weir tight here. The result is watched by urany another town and city, f Owen Sound goes ••wet," it means set -back 111 years for the temperance cavae. 1f Owen Sound goes "dry," it means a knock -out blow to the liquor 1 refffic. If Owen Sound votes "dry" on Jan- uary 4th, it is tate betting that the liquor party • will remove its head- quarters elsewhere, and give Owen Sound a rest. It is a supreme effort they have been making ; the fight has been a costly one for them. They will hesitate before tackling three years more et it, ROMAN CATHOLIC ENDORSEMENT. Extract (roma Letter from. Rev. Father Minehao, of Toronto, to a Goderich Citizen—Also Cardinal Vaughan. If you deem it advisable you might use this note to yourself to combat the idea of the similarity between local option and the Scott Act. My experience with the latter wan unfor Lunate. i spent Dt some years in a town under the Scott Act and voted for ita repeal because it was ineffec- tive. But my experience of the failure of the Scutt Act does not binder we from thoroughly approving of local option, The Scott Act introduced local prohibition. No person could get fermented liquor from* store ex- cept on a doctor s order. Local option attacks the bar -room only. If a man wants to boy liquor and take it home there is no obstacle pit In the way of his doing so. Such a one cannot say that biseris)nal liberty is interfered with. What is attacked is his liberty to go into a bar -room with a company of choice spirits, regale himself and them, as well as the loafers who con- r•gate there. with round after round df liquor and then meander irk cork- screw fashion along the sidewalks or obstruct the gutters. 1 have seen enough of this liberty and received sufficient annoyance from disciples of that school of freedom to make me a determined enemy of the bar -nom. Local option wisely confines itself to the abolttiofi-1Sfthe b*jvroom and the elimination of that moat senseless and pernicious of customs, the treating system. Whilst in uiy opinion tate Scott Act wee ahead of puhlic opinion, local op- tion Is aiming for what Industrial, social and religious life is denunding with ever increasing force, namely, the abolition of a system as indefen- sible as it ie pernicious—the treating system, for which and by which the bar -ram exists." L. MINIMAX. "It it a mockery to us to put down drunkenness by moral and religious means, when the Legislattie facili- tates the multiplication of incitements' to intemperance on every side. You 1 (night as well call II on me as the cap- tain of a sinking eh p, and say, •Why don't you mime the water out?" when int are scuttling the ship in every drectlon. If you will cut off the supply of temptation, 1 will be bound, by the belp of God, to convert drunk- ards; but uotil pet have taken off thle perpetual supply of iu.oxiceting drink we never can culwtethe fields." ('1RAIXAt. VAtUttOHAX, Wage Baran' Greater Eaciescy. Mr. Alex. Maunder", of Orderich Organ to., stales that manufacturers in Owen Sound had Informed him that the efficiency of their workmen had Increased 26 per cent. after Local Option came into force In that place. Better work was done and lees time was last, because of the removal of the bar and Its effects on its patrons. The True Casein Owen Sound Compeire this with the Partizan, Disgraceful, and Self-eaccusjng Letter Signed by Mayor Kennedy. The following information, supplied by Rev. W. N. Chandler, of Owen Sound, and condensed by Rev. Dr. Chown, may be relied upon as suthorita five as to the success of local option id Owen Sound. 1. Hotel accommodation has not suffered. Eleven hotels were doing business in the days of license. They are doing business stilt. Two of the houses are owned and operated by a syudicate of temperance people. They have never broken the law. Better hotel accommodation isnot to be found in 4 place of sturdier size• in Ontario. The operation of the local option bylaw amply demonstrates that the bar -room is nut neoessary to proper hotel ac- comnu,dation. Dives have not been created. There were dives—that is to art s placer where liquor was illegally sold—in Owep Sound before local upon. came int() force. One tavern•kreper boasted that he slid two hundred chillers' worth of ler business between Saturday night and Monday morning. The following stews are significant of tuuch : Number of liquor informations laid in Owen M d from May bit, 19116. to November Uth, 19044, 1131 ; number el these laid against hotel -keepers, 161 : number Mid against blind pigs, 31 ; number of hotel -keepers convicted, 84 ; number of blind pig keepers con- victed, 17 ; number of hutel-keeppoeprs who absconded, 8 ; n her of botcl- k(•epen who went to jail. 5 ; number of blind pig keepers who went to jail, 4, The above items disclose the fact that five times as many hotel -keepers were convicted of illegal sale aa there were blind pig keepers convicted. 1t prey.. that the dives, both under license and ender local option, are mostly to be found in the hotels. It it the judgment of men well qualified to express an �opin;nn that, there lake t 1(zeiltlttnr mold illegally -under-license. than than. ia.. now under lora) option. :i. Drinking hap greatly decreased under local option. Under the brevet. system, Owen Sound had eleven bar -roomy. two liquor stores and two hr.'weries, With the eomiug of local option One brewery ceased making malt liquor and confined itself to malt. The Inland Revenue returns for the dis• tnct of Owen Sound show a large Lalling off in the output of liquors. For the tint eleven months of 1905 the production of malt liquor averaged 25,44ir gallons per month. For the corresponding months of 19)7 the average was. 10,I1exallons per month. This shows a decrease of nearly sixty per cent. This is remarkable when one remembers that the liquors manufacturer) in Owen Sound are distributed all through the northernpection of the Province where license is in force ; se that the amount of local sale must have been very greatly decreased. The two liquor stores already referred to have been vacated, and are now otherwise occupied. That ber-ronui business has suffered severely is proven by the fact that the hotel men requested a reduc• tion of their assessment became) of the serious loss to trade ; a claim which \the judge allowed. In their recent appeal, the Hotel Keepers' Protective Association declares that should the act be sustained "it would not only be disastrous t• us, but materially affect the trade in general" Not entree than one drunk is to bs seen on the streets where forty could be seen under license. During the past twoears the town has had a circus, a farmers' fair, and the annual fairs, at which time the place was thronged with people, but not an anrst was made for drunkenness. In the spring of 111414, when • strike oc- curred t the C. P. 11. sheds, some six hundred men walked the stream idle for four m tiee days yet none were seen drunk, and there were no arrests for dean ii nese. Such is state of things would be impossible under license. The police force remains the sante in strength though the town has grows rapidly cion. the abolition of the bar. The t been -abol- ished. and rt rely an habitual drinker has been reclaimed. The boys and young m,n i the town have also been prote^Led. Owen Sound has been selected as a p e• of r.•.i l rice by persons seeking to avoid the temptation of the open bar. 4. 1hedness as be. n 1 ,•Iped by local option. The town owns the gas, electric light and ate! wt i- s plants. Since 1906, the last year of license, thew depart uientshave made large extensions, and each year shows a sub- stantial hos es,e idr, revenue. The iuet•etase for eleven months of 1908 is tf{),129,2ei o..•e the whole n( the year 1907. in spite of the fact that the amass - went Oil -otue of the hotel prof erty was reduced by the Court d Revision to the extent of $57,:60, y,•t� lite assessment has risen from 54,454, in 19116 to $4•740.5•50 ill 19418.1'h.• (3wett :' .nnd Sun of November 13th past stated that '.Saturday was a big day`', for Owen Sound merchants. Not only was the market one of the largest t the town's history, but the rush extended to all elassee of business. Nota ea chant had any complaint to make of trade be- ing dun, and some of thew y that Saturday beayt all records. The only fault t hey had to fled was that they were overworked and could not haodh the crowd properly." Presider Ross, of the Hoard of Trade, addressing that body in February last, said : "Gwen Sound, on the whole, has suffered much less through this stringency than many other of the prosperous towns ot Can- ada, for which we have great reason to be thankful, and there is no reason why our rnanufar•turen, tradesmen and people generally should not have con- tinued prosperity if only we make up our ' ds to have it so and not give way to any calamity howl," The business of John McQuaker & Co., grocers, has ineteased 5214) a year during each year under local option. W. K. Ire- land, book-aeiler, has enjoyed an average increase of $125 per month for the past twenty-eight months. Horton Brothers, who keep • large departmental store, state ;`*There is a striking absence, of abject poverty in our town, a thing that en' ld not be sail if the burs were Mowed to *ell openly. Business has been greatly (tided by prohibiting liquor sellin -- . Our sales in all departments are .on iderahly larger t'.i they were in prey is years and wesincerely hope the open, free selling e .. •»ting liquors wit not be permitted again in our prosperous town." Christie Brothers, hardware merchant', report an in- crease of fifteen per cent. more business than , was done the fast year of license. They say : "We find further that coileca ni are a groat deal better since lorai option cam.' into force than before, and this improvement is largely due to the fact that the workingman is paying for his hardware in cash. where"» in former years accounts were hard to collect." W. J. Skean, general manager of the Calcutta Tea, Company, mays: "Dur;fig twenty two years we have never been able to colkgt on aueoa w„ i lvy{l•nAs during the print threw yeerr emir Tiici1-op-optcame ln�o?deco, a we du buemes, t5 various municipalities, we find that where local option is in fo ace the people have more money to spend for the necessaries of life." Willie. i Legate. real Istat,' broker, mays : i add more property this fall than i did the four other falls i w11s in ',twines". Property has increased in the last five years in value over thirty per cent. in general" it is no wonder, in the face of this testi y, that the liquor sellers admit the encamp of the law. In their recent appeal for funds, they say : "The local nptionists in each and every campaign have referred to the successful opera- tion of the bylaw in Owen Sound, and they will continue to do so as long as it remains in force." This is eloquent testimony, and it is little wonder that the citizen* of Owen Sound have no idea of voting it out, and that they are advis- ing all other municipalities tee come into One. Owen Sound is neither dead Mir dying. THE ANGLICAN SYNOD. Strong Endorsement of Ldcal Option tat Their Recent Meeting.
