TO THE ELECTORS OF CENTRE HURON.
Ladies and Gentlemen : -
As 1 am a candidate in the coming election for the
Legislative Assembly and as the time at my (liaposal is too
limited to rt rlilit of .personally meeting you. 1 take this
opportunity of ' introducing myself and soli( ting your
support. I have lived in the ('entre Riding of Huron for
over forty-five years, and during nineteen years of tiais time
I was in municipal ofiee, being thirteen years Reeve of Grey
Township -and one year Warden of the County.
Believing that partyism is as unnecessary in the Legis-
lature as it is in the Council, 1 accepted a nomination from
the United Farmers of ('entre Huron. In this acceptance
i did not hind myself nor was i even asked to work in the
interests of the farmers as a class, but ate allowed more
freedom than if I were a nominee cif either of the old poli-
tical parties.
• The legislation desired by the t'. F. O. is not,class
legislation Inst mass Legislation.
In view of the large Provincial and Federal debts,
economy along all lines of public expenditure is necessary.
Only productive enterprises should be considered. Though
good roads are necessary, yet having regaled to the condition
of the labor and looney markets such works as Provincial
highways should not he undertaken. ,
• The abolition of the patronage system not Only would
he economical hut would result in the lessening t f centraliza-
tion of power and the return of more control of local and
public affairs to the people.
• As the t'. F. O. is strongly infavor of temperance leg-
islation, a favorable vote on the coming referendum is very
- desirable to assist in enforcing the legislation.
Yours respectfully.

THE `1(..N.1L PHIN1ING C(1 .•I.1Al1T D. Pt su+Haa
TO THE ELECTORS OF CENTRE HURON.
The Liberal party of Centre Huron have chosen Jnr.•
John M. 1;oveuloek, Reev.• ..f Mcle:illop, as their candidate
for the Legislature in oppo,itn.11 to the Hearst t;ovennwent.
Thr only w•ay ti ehe.•k the extravagance a4d waste-
fulness, eouplr.I with iurtli. rete; , which have for years been
exhibited in Provincial affairs, is to torn the 41sv. rnment out.
In 19(1; :the last year the• Liberals were in power in
thitario) the Provincial t•xp"l.liture was iit5,267,4,:1. For
19111 it was *15,-101092 rafter deducting sit item of $:.&054;-
211! in eonurt•tion t( ith the wan•'. This mean. that the ex-
penditure has trebled oniler Conservative 4;0%ernlnent.
Still worse, the pnblic debt of the Proviur" has in•1
creased from *11,71)9,651 in 191)•1 in $75,til5.917 in 191$.'•
The Opposition has proteste•i in vain against the 1'ec4c-
1 less spending and borrow ittgmt the 4;overI iiw,it.
Mr. Prolldf,nl, the lith' member t•ol' lite riding, eo111-
plaius of unfair treatment from the Liberals of 1'eut•o•
Iiurun, beeaiise dare!! to •li.approve of some of his
action.. No Liberal disputes Mr. 1'routlfoot's right to do
as he plrast•s ill his lu'l'u,,' ••apacitt ; hilt his course as a
representative of the I5'ot,1e is always open to rritieisnr, ,r
represented ire government i, a lyoekery. Mr. 1'rouditot
stayed with the Liberal until the I'rwiuciai Liberal
convention of ,Bunt• last failed 11 / elect hits as leader, after
which he staters that he would teeter again attend a Liberal
meeting. lie is now running practi•:.ally as the Tory
candidate. -
1 hr• rut!) of the matter is that for s. ole years :long
before thesplit of 1917' there has been growing dissatis-
faction with \Ir. 1'e.. •teifoot as the rjpreselatutivc ,i this
riding. Nis actions have been too much swayed by 'Toronto
influences. We Haut a member who will represent Pentre
Huron—Toronto has b -ii or a dozen Members of its oto.
11 r.'l'rondfoot went out of ilk way in 1!417 to support
the 1 11inuist tioverninent, whose F ranrhisr Art was an insult
to seventy-five per rent.. of the women of this Province. The
women of ('entre Huron wiio were considered to be not
patriotic enough to be allowed to vote in the election of 1917
owe it to their self-respect to reprove the grossly unfair and
undemocratic manner isa which that elretion was conducted
by Mr. Proudfoot'. friends.
Mr. Govrulock stand• squarely on the Liberal plat-
form on prohibition, e•n'rrnmeutai eeonom; , a fair franchise
law, taxation reform, proportional representation, suitable
provision for returned soldiers and especially for the
dependents of killed or •iistaabkd 'withers. and an active at>,1
it.t •Ihy +.R 1.arrest it, ;trobl•.:i-s r• !,tsi:.P • . latbrJr and
Agricultlr,'
As a member of the \1rKillop 'Pownship 4 uuncif and
the Huron Toruli' 1'oulteil for the last thirteen years, he has
a thorough licyuai1tan••e with the municipal problems which
are constantly coming before the Legislator”.
As a member of the comity Council Mr. Govenlock
was a leader in the patriotic prograul, which gave our Comity
such a splendid war re.•hr•I. His personal saeritices in the
wear inelnde a son and .a son-in-law killed while fighting in
the ranks. .
An a eitizeeu and as a pnhli.• represrntatite he has dune
his ditty well and the el,•eturs of this riling will stake no
mistake in sending hint to rcpre.eot then, in the legislature.

dates, -t,mtl in this .•I..•ti17I The only way to cast an
effective ballot against the extravagant and incompetent
Hearst Government is to vote for J. M. Govenlock on Mon-
