Mayor Irwin occupied the chair and in a few well chosen words congratulated the team and school on their success in winning the cup for which they had striven so long. Principal Ricker also gave a short ad- dress speaking along the line of the proper place of sports in a school. Mr. N. R. Fiebing, Sec. of W.F.A., acting as its representative, spoke at some length with regard to the Hough cup games and after congratulating the H. S. team because of their strong and clean play, presented the cup to the school through the president of the Boys' Athletic Association, Mr. P. - Muir, who made a vary appropriate speech in accepting it. Medals were also presented by Mr. Fiebing to the members of the winning team. These medals are given by the W.F.A. and are much appreciated by the boys. A 'short address of congratulation was given by Mr F. Buchanan, of the H.S. Board. A pleasing feature ofethe evening was presentation of an engraved watch fob to Mr. Ge R. Smith, manager, by the members of the team as a mark of their appreciation of his work in con- pection with the games. Thapresenta- tion was made by Messrs. W. Buchanan and E. Taylor.

The Nomination, The nominations of the candidates for the Provincial Government, Was held in the town hall on Monday last, when A. H. Musgrove, and Mr. J. G. Anderson were nominated. After the nomination addresses were delivered by Mr. J. Bowman, M. P. of East Huron, Messrs R.D. Cameron, of Lucknow, A. H. Musgrove and j. G. Anderson. The chair was taken by Mayor Irwin and the Vali was filled to its capacity by an enthusiastic and attentive audience. Mr. Bowman, the first speaker, dealt with the agrieultural improvements and the bilingual schools, under the Whitney administration, while Mr, Cameron, Who followed took up the topics of tax reform, abolition of the bar, and the temperantie situation under the two parties, Mr. Musgrove spoke at some length on the development of New On- tario, the bnildingof the Ontario No?th- ern, and the bilingual shoo l situation iri Nipiseing and Sudbury DiAtricts. Mr. Aedermon dealt with the extravagance in building the Government House in Toronto, the temperance question and the bilingual schools. Each speaker was given a good reception and was listenei to very attentively. •••••••=.•.. COUNTY TEMPERANCE ASSOCIA. TION. Mr. J. A. Irwin, Secretary of the Huron County Temperance Association, addressed a letter to the candidates in the Huron ridings at the approaching election with a request for them to state their position in regard to the pro- vincial aspect of the temperance ques- tion in Ontario, and particularly asking what their position, if elected to the Legislature, would be in respect to the enactment of legislaticm in harmony with the Alliance principles and policy Replies were received from all the candidates except Mr. Musgrove. We have not space for all the letters, but give Mr. Anderson's answer hereviith :- Luclitiow, Ont., JOne 6th, 1914. Mr. J. A. Irevin, Clinton, Ont., Dear Sir, -Replying to your favor of the 4th inst., permit me to say that my votes in the Legislature for the past three sessions speak for themselves. I have supported every measure or pro- posal which has been made that had for its object the suppression of the Liquor raffle. I might enumerate some of them -I have on three occasions sup- ported Mr. Rowell's resolution which to me is identical with the platform of the Alliance. I have voted for the closing of the Bars -and shops on all public holi- days. I have voted for the closing of all Bars ancl Lig. nor shops from one o'clock on Saturdays until 8 o'clock on Monday morning. I have supported an amendment to the License law extend- ing the Local Option prineiple toinclude county boundaries.. If I am elected I am prepared to supprrt any measure for the suppression. of the traffic no matter from which side they may come. My opponent has opposed all the above attempts to minimize the evils of the liquor traffic, and yet many Conser- vatives who call themselves ardent tem- perances men say that' he is just as good or better temperance man theft I am, Yours truly, J. G. ANDERSON Death of Robert J. Fletity. Tbere passed away in Wingham, at the home of his mother, on Friday last, Robert J. Fleuty, youngest son of the late James Fieuty, after a short illness. The deceased was a printer by trade, having learned under his father, who, for some years prior to his death, was preprietor of the Wingham Advance. Mr. Fieuty had been working in Arthur prior to his corning home some weeks ago. The deceased is survived by his mother, one brother, W. J. Fleuty, editor of the Oakville Record, and four sisters, Mrs. David Hamilton, Misses Florence, Lizzie, and Maud, of Wing - ham, The funeral took place on Sun- day to the Wingham cemetery, and not- withstanding the disagreeable weather was largely attended. The Citizens' Band headed the procession to the railway tracks, Reply to Mr. Lockhart. We have received a reply from Mr. A. B. Carr, of Blyth, to Mr. Lockhart's letter which appeared in our last issue. Mr. Carr admits Mr. Lockhart's state- ments as being correct when he asserts that he (Carr) worked in harmony With Mr. Lockhart to secure the election of Mr. Mitchell as a Conservative- Temperanee candidate in West Htiron some years ago. We have not room in this issue for the letter in full but give one important paragraph as fellovis: "The point I want to come at is this, `How can Mr. Lockhart and others of his Conservative friends, who were very generous in their compliments to my- self and others for the independent sand we took at that time, how can they consistently withhold their sup- port from any an who would promise to vote for abolishing the bar from our fair province. What does all our talk- ing and praying amount to if we refuse to give our support when we have the matter in our hands. Surely it was right for the temperanee people to sup- port Mr. Mitchell, who, at the most, could only give his vote on that goes - tion, it is of far more importance to support a man who has promised to abolish the bar if elected to power. It is not a question of AM the Govern- ment has or hs not done. It is 'Do you want the bars abolished or do you VOTE FOR J. G. ANDERSON THE BAR MUST GO! Principle Ought To Be Put Before Party. "Whereas the General Assembly has repeatedly deolared for the total suppression of the liquor traffic: and whereas the abojition of the public bar is now an issue before the electors of the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and On- tario; and whereas this is a great forward step in the direction of the ultimate prohibition of the traffic; therefore, resolved that nothing short of the complete suppression of the traffic can satisfy the Christian conscience; that the assembly express their gratification at the rapid advance ir temperance senti- ment as shown by the present position of the question in the provinces named; and urge all ministers and congregations in these provinces and throughout the Dominion to set principle before party and to unite by vote and influence in the support of this movement for the immediate abolition of the open bar."

The swing of victory is in the air. Vote for .T. G. Anderson as M.P.P. for North Huron. j. G. Anderson is a total abstainer and a consistent supporter of the Rowell policy. If abolish the bar was a good policy on January 29th, is it not a good policy on June 29th. The Whitney Government kept over four hundred bars in force by means of the three -hs clause.

The Liberals are dealing withpresent day issues. Affidavits covering past history do not count. Mr. Anderson has been and will continue to be a con- sistent supporter of Mr. Row'ell's policy. The abolition of the bar in this pro- vince is onot to secured by resolutions of church courts, but by ballots, proper- ly marked, and placed in the ballot - box. -Brantford Expositor. When leading Conservatives concede Rowell thirty-five or forty seats they give evidence of shrewder judgement than Mr. Hanna displayed when he in- sisted on a premature dissolution. Vote Anderson and help swell the following behind Mr. Rowell. It has been suggested that Ontario's new Government House, in view of its situation, be made over into a home for retired railway locomotive firemen and engineers. It is thought that with railways, close at hand on two sides, and with the belching chimneys of the Don Valley Brick Company on a third, these men would feel perfectly at home at Government House. It has been further suggested that this palatial million dollar pile be made over into an asylum for the feeble-minded, in mem- ory of the genius who picked upon the site, but on mature coesideration, it is said that the lunatics would object to the location. In any event, Sir John Gibson is to be congratulated over the fact that his term of office is expiring and that he will not be obliged to live in the place. -Toronto Saturday Night. The Toronto News informs its read - In the provincial elections of 1011, seventee.n Conservatives were elected by acclamation and no Liberals. This time the atrennons nature of the con- test will best be miderstoocl by the fact that there were only three. ac- clamations on Monday, two Conserva- tives and one Liberal. In the case of one Conservative, Dr. Forbes God- frey, West York, the ac.claanatiou was due to the ection of the ravening offi- cer in declaring that the nomination papers of the Liberal candidate were filed one minute too late. "There are two facts of the utmost significance that seem to have escaped general notice. The first is that the use of French in the schools of Ontario as a medium of communication was never officially recognized until the bilingual regulations of 1912 were issued. Up to that time the school system on paper was English, though parente coold, if they so desired, have the sub- ject of French taught for an hour a day. But that was all. French was a sub-. ject, and the teacher had to teach it and all other subjects 'n English. Un- fortunately the school law was not en- forced. The inspectors were men who belonged to an association pledged to put French on an equality with English, and the abuses of the system became so apparent two years ago that definite •limitations to the 'lee of French were adopted. These permitted French to be taught as a subject in every form for One hour a day, but confined its use as the language of instruction to the first questions passed by the Legislature form, Mark you, this inetruction, while makes it desirable to consult the people. rigid, was a big step in advance for the But the News declares that "there is French language, for the school law no issue to justify a change of govern - hitherto had made no provision for the Inent and hardly a charge against the use of any language of instruction but administration which deserves consid- English. In other words, the law had eration." Again the question arises, been right anethe cdorcement wrong ' why force an election on the country? Poll your vote early next Monday foe Anderson. A vote for Anderson means a vote to abolish 1300 bars. The temperance Conservatives are putting principle before party. It is a Rowell campaign. The name of Whitney is scarcely ever mentioned. There is not a church in North Huron that is not committed against the bar- room. The splendid rally around Anderson has made his opponents sit up and take notice. The Ottawa Citizen, Conservative, for the first time since Confederation, is supporting the Liberal policy. Charles H. Green, Conservative can- didate in West Bruce is a former well- known resident of Wingham. Those 1313 bars that the three-fifths clause has saved and kept under license, constitute a double hoo-doo number to the Government in the present election. The Conservatives will hold a public meeting in the Town Hall on Friday evening and Mr. Musgrove will be assist- ed by an "Outsider" in the person of W. D. McPherson, ex -el. P. P. of Tor- onto. The Whitney Government believes in the Indian's theory of cutting the dog's tail off, a piece ttt a time, so it won't hurt so much. One session, bars closed on Christmas day; next session, bars closed on Good Friday. At this rate it will take 311 years to get rid of the bars. Some of the cheaper whiskey' organs pretend that Mr. Rowell keeps up the bar at the Ontario Club! It is the On- tario Government by whose fiat that bar exists, not the leader of the Oppos- ition. Mr. Rowell will end it and he needs Anderson as member for North Huron to assist him. "Dr. Pyne's explanation of his vette- face is equally inadequate. It means that either he is ignorant of the dan- gers of bilingualism or reckless of its consequences. Afraid to grapple with the question, he shifts its burden upon the shoulders of subordinates. In that way he fondles the hope that he may satisfy everybody he cherishes the il- lusion that he may realize the aspira- tion of every petty politician -which is to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds." -Toronto Telegram.

There appears to be no limit beyond which election rumors will not go in the effort to damage a man or a cause. The story is being circulated about town and out in the Province that Mr. Rowell "takes a drink on the quiet." To all who know Mr. Rowell's life and character the rumor is merely absurd. He is a life-long total abstainer, and no ers that Premier Whitney enjoys the insinuation of the kind against him is of confidence of the people in a remark- any avail. T. G.

Immediate Possession H Desired Not often do we have an oppor- tunity to sell a farm with the crop growing thereon, but just now we can do so. It is needless to sey that this is a great adventage to the pur- chaser, as he has an almost immedi- ate return on his investment. The farm contains 150 acres near to churches, school and only 6 miles from Wingham. Frame house,bank barn, cement stables, driving shed. Terms $2000 to $2500 cash, balance on mortgage. Further particulars will be given to intending purchasers by phone or at our office. We have no time however for answering questions of the information hunter.
