A great impetus has been given to the development of our wealth in minerals, forest products, and in the colonization of Northern Ontario. More generous expenditure have been made to Agriculture, and every help given to the farmers to organize their industry on a co-operative basis and open up markets overseas., _,( A -reforestation program has been established. 41,, The Government has pursued fin Irpigration policy of bringing to On- aario only those for whom places and occupation have been found. The extention of Hydro Electric services has been given careful con- k'ideration. - Educational reforms have been effected. Great strides have been made in child welfare work. The Government has provided assistance to the returned soldiers. The latus of the Province have been rigidly enforced with courage and a'eeititude. I am an advocate of the old age pension. Benefits for the voter: Removal of the amusement tax, exemption Om municipal tan on incomes, reduction of $5.00 in motor car licenses. By reason of the efficient financial administration of the Ferguson Government, which has resulted in increasing the revenue by $16,000,000 generous treatment has been given the Municipalities, and it has been pose table to return to the people by way of grants for the up -keep of schools, ttublic institutions, health clinics, roads, etc., during the fiscal year 1925, *he large -sum of $34,400,000. • It is a government which has given the Province of Ontario adminis- tration that has been clean, clear and honest. Regarding the 0. T. A. versus Government Control: I am in favor of Mr. Ferguson's plan, tend frankly declare myself im- guessed with his sincerity in offering a remedy that will be an improvement fon the present Iaw. No roan can say with Sincerity that the 0. T./A. as a Temperance asure has been the success we hoped and believed it would be. The bringing about of Temperance is a process of education, and is he responsibility .of, the home, the school and the church,. I believe that a firm, rigid system of Government control, carefully and honestly worked out, will bring about, for those who are eager for the hest moral interests of our community and Province the goal we are striv- ing for. As the father of ten children. I would not darelto propose any measure which would make it easier for the youth of Ontario to secure liquor. We did not realize the extent to which poison alcohol from the U. S. JA. was percolating into Ontario communities until we woke up one morn- ing and found fifty of oueecitizen5 dead or dying"from drinking the stuff. Which is in the best interest of true temperance? To have unadulter- ated liquor, sold by well known and disinterested persons responsible o o the government; or to leave the traffic in the hands' of irresponsibleper- emus whose sole motive is gain? Do you know that in"" our ove County of Huron the cost. of adniinis- itrating justice jumped from $2,378 in 19-17 to $15,427 in 1924 and' over aro per cent. of the cases grew out of the 0. T. A. Do not be mislead by the half truths as stated by my opponents high calane d professional 'spell-binders—weigh carefully' the 'issues which are 'before you and I will be satisfied with the result. . - 1 RESPECTIVELY `� OLICIT YOUR VOTE AND INFLUENCE ALEX.

BEER, Exeter, Safety Razor Blades Sharpened `.erred i Yany make SINGLE liDGE toot 3c, DOUBLE EDGE 40 Perfect Edge Guaranteed:' W. S. COLE, Druggist What outstanding Canadians say about the. 0. T. A. BISHOP WILLIAMS, of London, Ont., now the Archbishop of Ontario, said in his charge to the Synod, "Let no man' consider he is furthering the cause of Christ, by being a Prohibitionist, nor let no man consider he is hindering the cause of Christ by opposing Prohibition." MISS AGNES Men -AIL, Propressive ill. P.; "The whole moral force of the community is not solidly behind the 02T. A. Then pol- itics have divided the temperance forces. The reason goes deeper still; there is not enough education on temperance. in the old days they__used to teach temperance; now they legislate about it." HON. W. F. NICKLE; late Attorney -General; "It is dangerous when you endeavour to impose on people as a conscientious obliga- tion that in which they have not faith. One of the biggest problems that faces the Province to -day is the illicit sale of liquor. I am convinced that unless some relief can be obtained the Ontario Tem- perance Act is bound to be destroyed. And as a temperance man, I am satisfied that unless something is done to relieve the stress, the Ontario Temperance Act is doomed to be destroyed." CHIEF OF POLICE BELANGER, of Montreal, claims less drunkenness there than in Toronto. Chief Belanger called atten- tion to the following figures: "In Montreal during the year 1923, there were 3,573 men and 188 women arrested for drunkenness, a total of 3,761. During the same period in "dry" Toronto 4,427 men were arrested for drunkenness and 274, a total of 4,701, or 940 more than in Montreal." 1%ILIS. EMILY F. MURPHY, Juvenile Court Judge of Alberta; "Government Control may not control in other Provinces, but it does control in Alberta. Before Government Control became the. law in Alberta, I opposed it vigorously, both on the platform and by my pen. I was fearful that our last state would be worse than our first. -It seemed only logical that if the restrictions were re- moved there would be more d,unkenness and crime. After a pe- riod of several years in which I have been called upon to enforce the present liquor Control Act, both as a City and Provincial Magis- trate, I am bound to acknowledge that my fears were largely un- founded., There was not even the rush of inebriety as I had pre- dicted, the people showing a remarkable degree of restraint. The condition has steadily improved—the law is being well enforced." Sin JOHN WILLISON, convinced by personal study that Cone trol System gives best results: "It is significant that Chiefs of Po- lice and Provincial magistrates—and one includes even the two em- inent women magistrate of Edmonton and Calgary—agree that con- ditions are better under Government Control than they were under prohibition. They should know whereof they speak." SIR THOMAS WHITE, one of the outstanding men in the life of Canada; "The' Government's proposals with regard to the regu- lation of the sale of liquor seem to me to be a sensible and sincere -attempt to deal with an exceedingly difficult problem. That the Ontario Temperance Act, as it now stands, has failed to adequately cope with the evils of the traffic in intoxicating liquor should by; this time be known to all citizens of Ontario, and the time has ar- rived to so amend it as to prevent and limit as far as possible the evils of intemperance. The Government, it seems to me is taking a forward, not a backward, step in the promotion of temperance among the citizens." CANON CODY: "There are perhaps two things that I would especially like to say as a private citizen. In the first place, I be - Have that the Prime Minister of our Province is doing what is best for the welfare of the province. Here 48 a very difficult problem, the control of liquor and of drunkenness. 'What is the best method to solve it? Is it by the present method, or is it by the teethed which the Premier purposes? This is the way in which the sittta- tion appeals to ine. It is almost impossible to get perfect solution. of the problem. The next best thing to get an approximate solu- tion, tending in the direction of personal self-control and sobriety: )' HIS GRACE AIiCIH'BISHOP TIIORNLOE: "I would like tie say how much interest I have in the discussion. I ant by no Means satisfied with the working of the Ontario Temperance Act in the past. There seem to have been so many loopholes through which e found it ossible to tree in in order to make it i ei'fec- men have P P , , tive. I know we cannot make people good by force alenei Pere suasion: is necessary. Legislation must be supported by education and religion. All 'these considerations have to be weighed by the Gov'ernitient, and I have very great hope that the measures prow posed by Premier Ferguson will be found, if carried, to be a very great improveneent on been el what we have beexperieneiiig the past few years."
