THE FERGUSON WHIRLIGIG
The election campaign is taking a
sew Turn almost every day. Mr. Fer-
guson found the opposition to his
•Teter parlor" proposals so vociferous
that be w-Ilheirew that part of his pro -
grata. Then he threatcuel 10 110 away
with home hrt•win, . and a member of
his Cabinet, Hon. lir. Leeming l'Itrr of
Hamilton. immediately came out with
• public expre•saton of dissent. stating
in effect that the Premier dad not
know what he was talking about in
i11s verbal assault on ttomehrew. Mr.
Ferguson thereupon executed another

homebrew-which he has power to do
ander existing legislation.
Still another change of front le the
Premier's statement that permits to
purchase liquor are to be issued only
to "men of reputation." In the initial
utatement of -the new signor piney it
was set forth that permits were to be
hostel to all persons over twenty-one
years of age. Now the issue-, atcord-
Ing to the Premier's latest explanation.
must decide whether the nppdiewnt for
a permit Is a '•_arson of reputation"
or _pot._
1t looks very much as 1f Mr. Fergu-
son does not know or eare what his
policy is. so long' as it can he made
instrumental In securing him another
lease of office. When he gets back to
Queen's Park with a majority of (In-

decide upon his policy in earnest.

you could not get a bite to eat nor a

whiskey and threw men out like dogs

be wiped out and the government
