GRANTON On Monday night, November 15th the ratepayers of Granton met in the Town Hall to discuss the matter of paving Main St. one half mile. the reeve of the Tp. of Biddulph, Mr. Raycraft, was there to 'explain mat- ters. There was a good attendance and after a lively discussion a vote was taken and it was almost unani- mous in favor. The contract is to I ' be let and the work completed in , 1927. We think- this is a good move for Granton. Churches Uniting—There have been two churches of the United church in Granton since the Union; Rev. Mr. Lloyd in the old Metho- dist church and Rev. Mr. Smith in ' the Presbyterian. The question of uniting the two churches was taken up and a committee of five was appointed from each church to 0 work out the plans. The decision they came to was to close the Meth- odist church and have the united congregation - worship in the Main St. church and the minister occupy the King St. parsonage. They de- cided on Rev. Lloyd as the preacher, and the congregation to, use the Presbyterian hymn book. The con- gregation of each church met in their"n church on the 17th and the corn ittee presented their report to tang congregations. A standing vote was taken and it was almost unanimous' for union, the union to .. take place the first of Tanuary next. The people of Granton are very much alive overthe election. The • temperance peop have their com- mittees at worle, trying to do their little part to keep Ontario dry and we find that many of Ferguson's supporters in the last election are doing their bit to defeat him on the liquor question. Think about the future of, your boys and not party. Clandeboye It The Clandeboye Women's Institute f held the November meeting at the home of Mrs. George Dauncey. In t the buttonhole competition honors went to Mrs.- Omar Cunningham, who also won first prize in the gues- sing contest, the second prize going to Mrs. George Lewis. A letter was received by the. president front Mrs. Antos, thanking, the institute for the gift of a silver spoon to her infant and enclosing a donation to the in- stitute funds. It was ' decided that each member bring sone article to •d ei the value of 50 cents to the Deena- a ber meeting for the Christmas sale, d the proceeds of which are for the c Sick Children's Hospital. In s- p - n. f - freer, occupied the chair. The first speaker was Mr, Neeb and he said he was more accustom- ed to talking municipal polities, than provincial matters. He was a fol- lower of G. Howard Ferguson and before Mr. Ferguson had issued his manifesto the opposition press • had little criticism of the work of the Government, but now they couldn't say too much bad about him. After I the fall of the Drury Government ear. Ferguson had promised a house- ' cleaning and the results were a sat- isfaction to some and a surprise to others, Things wore found in some departments that were a burning shame on the fair record of the preen/ice. The Drury government by ingenius book-keeping had hid the facts from the people and were able to show a surplus, but this surplus was to hoodwink the people. The Ferguson government instead of finding a surplus found that there was •a deficit of $15,000,000, Were it not for that deficit the Conservative Government would have' made a better showing. • In 1916 Sir William Hearst plat, ad the O.T,A. on the statute boons as a war measure. In 1919 when the question was submitted to the people the O. T. A. was sustained by over 400,000 majority and at ,the same time Sir Wm. Hearst was kick- ed out of politics. Three years ago the O.T.A. was again sustained bu this time by only about 40,000 ma jorite and a great many of the Not ers' had r mained at home. During these years the bootlegger had grown and flourished until today they know the leaningson every person in Untario. Mr. Ferguson has made a diligent study of the sit- uation and he wpuld fail in his duty it he did not dohat he believed in the best interests of the province. People ask why ca not a law be en- forced. It is .because public opinion and individual sentiment are not in favor of enforcing the act. The is- suing of home brew permits is in the hands of the Dominion Government and as long as liquor is manufactur- ed it will be drunk. Mr. Neebalso spoke of the increase of the cost in the administration of justice in the County of Huron due largely to the O.T.A. Mr. Neeb has been in muni- cipal life since 1914 and appealed for the support of the electorate. f Edward Hawkins - Mr, Edward Hawkins, of London, spoke in the interests of Mr. Neeb. He opened' his address by laying down a few broad principles; the principles of charity, tolerance, sportsmanship, faith, things difficult a explain but easy to. understand. They are principles upon which tbe sprit of •civilzati", are built up. They have -been,, g, owing through he years. The principle of tem- perance interests us more "than others at present and., in this the Conserva- tives have been placed on the defen- sive. Mr. Ferguson is appealing to the intollig;ence of the electorate and asks the to consider his proposi- tion in i ht of reason not prejudice. Our opponents have nothing to say about _finances, agriculture, north-' ern Ontario where great hives of in ustry have been established. They dmit the Conservatives brought or- er out of the greatest political haos in the history of the province. The opposition are centering their whole campaign upon the one issue. it James Whitney gave this pro - ince the greatest temperance legis- ation it has ever seen. Sir Wm. earst brought in a prohibitory law nd Mr. Hocken said that Mr. Hearst ad no businoes 'to bring in the 0, . A. at that time. The province ants temperance not prohibition. rohibitien, said the seeker, is not fundamental principle of life. He ppealed to support Mr. Ferguson y electing Mr. Neeb. -• S OBITUARY J. Wilson Hogarth, eldest son of, H the late Septimus and Jane Coleman h Hogarth, died November 17th, 1926, after one week's illness at the home w of kis sisters, Waterloo St., Exeter. 1, Mr. Hogarth "was in his 75th year a and had taught school for over forty years, having retired from the b profession at mid -summer. From boyhood he had been a consistent and active inember of the Methodist church and later• of the United church of Canada, and contributed liberally to religious and benevolent institutions. He " always upheld everything that was good and for tbe uplift and betterment of his fel- low beings. For the last eight years he had taught in Northern Ontario where he started and carried on a Sunday school in the school house of his own section in the forenoons and conducted one in the .village, three miles distant In the afternoons performing the work of a miesion-• ary in addition to his school duties. He was unmarried. Four brothers and two sisters survive him, J. Cole- man Hogarth, of Manitoba; Stephen J. of Exeter; Eber S. of Hamilton and Fred. H.; E11zabeth J. and Flmnia A„ of Exeter. Mr. and Mrs. John Weir of Thatn- esford announce the engagement of their third daughter, Mary Elizabeth to Henry Cecil Powell, of Granton, only son of Mrs. Edward Perrin, the •.ma,rriage to tike place the early part of December. W, G. Mecld Mr. W. G. Medd, the Progressive candidate, congratulated the speak- ers, but he said that every law that made for good was a prohibitory law In 1923 Mr. Medd was a candidate that went down in the crash of the. Drury governmdnt but to -day he re- presented many parties. He re- presented Progressives, Liberals and Conservatives, Mr. Ferguson did did not represent the Conservative party and there wore many good Conservatives behind him to defeat the Ferguson government. Sir. Geo. Foster, Attorney -General Nickle and many leading • Conservatives had broke with Ferguson on the temper- a,nce issue. Mr. Medd said he was glad to rep- resent the women, of South Huron, in which riding Premier Ferguson had said he would not hide behind women's skirts, the inference being that he would not listen' to what women had to say. Under Sir James Whitney the province had high licetise yet . there were prohibitory measures, Hotel -keepers were pro- hibited from selling after 'hours, from selling to ,Indians and minors. XE cER 1 .IMES-ADVOCATE Mr. Nickle says that the 0.T..';.. ate best law we hove had: To bring on government control isto go wick, • It has been said that the bootleggers will vote with the U.T. .A. but when the last plebiscite was taken in several of the polls iii Windsor not a single vote was regis- tered, for the O.T.A. A, W. Roebuck, Mr. A. W. Roebuck, K u., of To - ranee, spoke on eeualr of mfr, ideate Re, ineuuonea time; previous speak- ers hau spoken of tee good recora of the government. he asked if thee rememoered •that the Drury govern - Went had recovered one million (loi- lars that 1"erguson heti given away when ivlinister of Mines aau. ;Pune cries. Speaking of finances, be said that in spite of increasing rev- enue yearby year there had been an. average deficit of eleven million dollars during the Ferguson admin- istration and that last year five mil lions had been added to the nation- al debt. Speaking of charity he said evidently Mr. Ferguson believed that charity begins at home when he raised cabinet 'ministers salaries to $10,000. In several northern. On- tario ridings represented by Con- servatives expendrt res had increas- ed considerably an .,he quoted the figures to prove, his:. arguments, while in other districts' not repre- sented by a Conservative the ex- penditures h° been reduced. Speaking of spor - manship, ` he ask- ed was it sports nship to cut off ten dry ridings 8, d substitute ten wet ridings on the eve of an elec- tion, Mr. Ferguson tad stated not long ago that it was• not fair to hold a bye -election in aember o-, cause it would disfrare, rise ma iiv rural voters but now he had brouglrit on a general election in December. He was going to the people when he considered the going was good for the Conservative party. Speaking of temperance, he said it was the Conservative party that enacted the O.T.A.; it was the Con- servative party that stood for tem- perance in the days of the three• fifths clause; it was the Conserva- tive party that stood for temperance under Sir Wm. Hearst. What is the duty of a Prime Minister, he asked. Is he to decide. the principle of a party or be the spokesman for a party, It should be his duty to weave into legislation the wishes of the party. Mr. Ferguson's policy is the policy of one man, not the policy of the party and he has, rent the party in twain. Mr. Ferguson es- tablished 4000 beer parlors in On- tario to sell 4.4. What is to pre- vent him from. changing to 10.4. The outstanding feature of govern tient control is to sell booze; to beat the bootlegger by competition; take away the bootleggers custom- ers. It is opening up a, never-ending source 'of supply. Common sense tells you you canot control liquor by making it easier to get. He hop - ell Mr. Medd would be elected. Mr. Hawkins Each side were given one hour and Mr. Hawkins was given ten min- utes to reply. He said if Mr. Fer- guson did not have a mandate front the people he was now seeking a mandate. He spoke of the gerry- mander which he said was based on the old principle of representation by population. The 4.4 policy of the Conservative government was Mr. Nickle's not Mr. Ferguson's, PROI•mITION UNION ENDORSE M5 DD AND ROBERTSON A special meeting of tan elected' of the Ontario Proh,ibit�iXi it o,,,, Huron County Branch, ,s ,held in Wesley Willis Un.itec?,-church, Clin- ton, on Monday afternoon at which the followingresolution was passed: "We the members of the Executive Prohibition Un i of the Huron iB'rench of the Qntario , assembled in Clinton this 22nd, day:of November, 1926, do hereby affirm our unshaken conviction in the usefulness of the Ontario Temperanc Act; would urge the strength14. and faithful enforcement of tale Act; and would disapprove of any amendment to the Act along the proposed line of "Government Control." We recog- nize that the continuance if the On- tario Temperance Act is the supreme issue in the present Provincial Elec- tion Campaign and therefore hearti- ly give our endorsation to W. G. Medd Progressive Candidate for the riding of South Huron, and C. A. Robertson, Liberal Candidate for the riding of North Huron. e•. The Loyal Temperance ' Legion met in the library Saturday after- noon and a large number of ,boys and girls were present.
