Mr
Dickson to Mr. Powell
Exeter, June 20, 1914
Reit E G. Powell, Exeter.
Dear Sir -Replying to the . open ot-
ter wheels you addressed to me end
published in the Exeter, Times, you
make the following statement,—
.,',4,chairman of the Conservative
cane entio_n held in Hensall on June 2
you extended an invitation in some
such words as these, `If there is pres-
ent in this convention a lying, slap-
deeing sneak tbat has been going apt
and down t,hsi;s riding slandering "lir.
Eilber I invite him to come to this
platform" and you then accuse me of
the authorship, of an, unsigned' letter
appearing in the Advocate and Free
Press. which you characterize as li-
belous and slanderous. Now Mr. Pow -
let me recall to yoanr mind the invita-I
tion. I did !extend and remember that
the dnvitatio:n was heard by ftorn ?0C/
to
301' of the most reputable and rep-
resentative men in South Huron, and
)N THE • TEMPERANCE LAWS I think you will publicly acknowledge
UNDER WHITNEY that you have donee me a grave in-
justice My invitation was as nearly
as I can remember in the following
words,—"If there is any p'erson; pres-
ent who desires to address this •on-
vention lie will kindly take a seat on
the platform and he well be as wel-
come as the flowers in May'.
Agnes sir, you are in error in im-
puting to me the .authorship of the
letter you .complain of. I did not
write the letter though I endorse ev-
ery syllable ,contained in it. I would,
thea•efo:re ask you topublicly state
that you made this statement either
knowing it to be false or not knowing-
it to be true. ,
Agan. "sir, ,you are reported lathe
public .press to have stated at the
Methodist Conference Sarnia that
o en an
as chairman at the Conservative, sort
veetior aforesaid I refused to • blow
any Methodist ,minister or fanatic to
address the convention. I ani ,-raid
that yeas must have been suffering
from a recurrence of your Port Stan-
ley dream. Let nee recall to s ear
mend what T did say to you and F. r.
Sylvia Jefferson when you and he at-
tempted to create a disturbance, end
remember again that the same, 100 er-
300 respectable and reputable men
heard my statement. When. you r•s'sc
to ask some questions I insisted that
you should first answer three ques-
tions which 1 desired to put to you,
assuring, you that if your answers were
satisfactory to the Convention you
would be permitted. to ask your ques-
:io_tt. You refused to submit to the
terms and Mr, Jefferson ran forward
from the back of. the hall shouting
and waving his arms like- a wild :nan,
and I called him to order, informing
him and yo,w also that I would not
allow a bunch orf Grit preachers to dis-
turb tlaie harmony of the convention.
did not as stated bys you to the
conference make any reference :o the
ministers of any church. I hold the
Methodist church he the highest es -
teen; and veneration, but let me tell
your that many good membered of the
MVlethodist church deprecate rtes strong-
ly as I do the attempt of yourself end
other partizans to turn the chur.h
into a political machine, You eheuid
publicly !retract the statement • made.
by you at the Sandia Conference,
Now „sir, as to your; challenge to a
publ~ec discussion and to the ari`angee
meats for same; the issue or discus-
