Preps. 4 GENTLKIIEN: — TSURBn t.�', June t l flOA ' Three and a half yenta; ago you hon. ° ' ored me with the representation of this Riding. After four sessions in NOTE AND CUiIMEU'I'S Appe.trancos indicate that the Whit- ney government will again be sustain- ed by a large majority. The normal revenue of Ontario un- der Whitney has increased two mil - Whitney has reduced the debt of the province $071,000 in three and a half years. 200 clergymen have congrattil;ited Premier Whitney on his enforcement of the liquor law.. The three-fifths clause in the license law is in force in nearly every British possession beyond the seas. Sir Frederick Borden will probably retire as minister of militia. It is the duty of every man to vote as he believes is right. Because your party may be weak or strong in the riding is no reason why you should stay at home. You would bo angry enough were you distranchised or your name left off the lists, then get out and vote as becomes a man who knows his duty and is willing to perform it. There surely has been no failure of duty by Whitney in the taxation of railways when he ho has increased the railway tax $33,592.80 in 1902 to $390,- 557.80 in 1907, a large share of which goes to the municipalities for the first titue in the history of Ontario. The absurd personal charges made recently by The Times against Mr. Eilber will simply have the effect of increasing Mr. Eilber's popularity and reflecting discredit upon The Times for descending to personalities. It is prophesized that Whitney will be returned by even a larger maim ity than before. The estimate generally given is 09 Conservatives, 25 Liberals, 12 doubtfule. The last legislature was composed of 70 Conservatives, 27 Lib- erals and one Labor. Seven Conservatives were elected by acclamation on Monday. being Mc- Keoun of Dufferin; W. J. Paul of Ad- dington: J. J. Preston of E. Durham; Col. Matheson of S. Lanark; A. A. Mahaffy of Muskoka; Alex. Ferguson of 8. Simcoe and J. H, Carnegie of E. Victoria. The Toronto News (Ind.) said on Tuesday : " The ('anadian Northern guarantee will never cost the treasury a dollar, and it improves the Provin- cial Mortgage and ensures necessary railway extensions in the Northern country. There is neither waste nor scandal in the transaction, and to mag- nify it into a gross public wrong is ri- diculous. Moreover, in the Legis- lature the proposal had the united sup- port of Mr. MacKay and bis followers. No one seriously believes that there is any jobbery in the L'Rose payment. It was necessitated by exceptional cir- citm't,uncee, by which the Provincial Treasury greatly benefitted, and which could be dealt with only in an oxceptional manner. The News goes on to say: "Above these, petty charges stands out three and a half years of energetic adminis- tration. a great volume of sound and progressive legislation, singularly hon. oreble election methods, and a remark- able fidelity to the public interest. A decisive victory now for Mr. 1Vhitney and his colleagues will go far to snake these the perm anent characteristics of our politics." A Hair Dressing Nearly every one likes a fine hair dressing. Something to make the hair more manage- able; to keep it from being too rough, or from splitting at the ends. Something, too, that will feed the hair at the same time, a regular hair -food.

The people have a right to ask us for an account of our stew- atdship. I ant devoting as touch of my time a; 1 can to meeting the elec- tors of the hiding, but as time will not permit of sty visiting every section. I take this tueags of directing your at- tention to emit!' points in our record which 1 think make clear that we are carrying out in power our pledges made in opposition. 1.—We promised to abolish the num- bered ballot. We have done so. IL—We promised to enforce the law against ballot switching, ballot box stuffing, bribery and perjury in elec- tion matters that to the tuinds of Lib• erals and Conservatives alike was a blot on this Province during the years prior to January 1005. We have done so, with the result that eight bye -elec- tions and over three years of Govern- ment have conte and gone without a single corrupt act being charged by either political party against the oth- er, a thing for which Liberals and Conservatives alike are grateful to the Government. 111.—We promised to put an end to the bucket shops that for years bad been running openly at West Toronto Junction and Fort Frie. We have done so. IV.—We promised to reorganize tbe County Councils Act so that each Municipality would have direct repre- sentation through its Reeve. We have done so. V.—We promised to strengthen the election law. We have heavily penal- ized not only the man who bribes but the than who accepts the money. VL—We promised that we would secure the water powers of the Pro- vince for the people. We have done 80. . VII.—We promised that there would he no more grants of land or money by way of bonus to railways unless in very exceptional cases. We have not given an acre of land or a dollar to any railway. Not only so, but we have recovered for the people half a million acres of the land grant which oar predecessors gave the Grand Trunk Pacific for its Fort William ex- tension. We have extended the time limit for two land grants made by the preceding Government to railways on which considerable work had already been done; and in the case of the Jam- es Bay Railway we have, in order to better the security held by the Pro- vince. given an additional guarantee of two and a half millions of dollars to enable us to obtain a mortgage that will give absolutely safe security to the Province, not only for the guaran- tee of five and a half millions given by the old Government but also for the additional guarantee given by us to obtain this security. VIIi.—We promised that sales of timber should be by tender and by the thousand feet instead of without com- petition and by the Township, thus se- curing better prices and snaking it possible for the small dealer to buy. We have done so, with the result that the timber sold by us has realized by the old Government. We have pro. vided that it shall be paid for from year to year as cut and upon the act- ual cut: and that the lease shall ter- minate in fifteen years from its date and that nothing shall be cut under twelve inches, thus securing to the Province the return of the land at the end of fifteen years with a surticient stand of timber to reforest it so that it may again be available at an early day for the use of this Province. The leases of the foci -tier Government were practically perpetual and permitted the licensee to cut everything on the hand covered by his lease. 1X.—\Ve promised that the agricul• tura) land in New Ontario with the timber and mineral on it, would be for t he settler instead of reserving the tinnier rights for lumbermen and the mining rights for the miner. SVe have done so. X.—We promised to adopt better business methods in securing for the people full returns for the timber and lands and minerals of New Ontario. and in collecting the revenues of the Province. We have done so, with the result that the normal revenue of the Province has incl eased upwards of two millions of dollars per year with• out one cent of this increase having teen drnwn from the pockets of the electors. This increased revenue is being spent annually as follows: For I'tihhic School Education, in- crease apart from the University Aid, gtlie►,IMM►.,M1: for Agriculture and !toads, en increase of $tiskit>t►.(t); for the Aid of Hospitals and Charities, thus re- lieving the Sick and the Poor, increase of $I1itase).(N); to the Municipalities, their share of the railway taxation $189,01.0.(I); Annual Surplus in Cash to the Treasnry. average 13x30,000.00. Besides this. we have reduced the debt of the Pi ovince $'�23,100.(10 per annum or $671,10111.1wt, in alt. Not one cent of this increased expenditure was objected to in the house. This, i think you must agree. is an excellent show ing. it should be remembered, also, that we took power at a time when, according to Mr. G. W. 'toss. the or - din try income of the Province aver- aged a million dollars le•?9 per annum that the ordinary expenditure. X1,—We promised school books at a reasonable cost. We have reduced the price of these books to less than o.pe•half of theiP former cost as the contracts msde by the old government have fallen in, with the result as to re• duction in prices fully set forth in a letter addressed to you by me tome devs ago. X II. --We promised that the Public Schools of the Province, particularly the rural schools, would be aided and encouraged, so that the boy's and girls in the country sche.ols would have ale good opp, rtItnit}}• 88 is giten in the town schools. This is being done as quickly as time will permit without a iditional cost to the sections, the in- ere,.ed cost of the Pontic Schools lee. in,f paid oat of the increased revenue of • •ee Province. �I II We promised yogi a fait en. fore rnent of the Uquor License Act of the Province. Ali the elections, ie- csrdle+s of their views on the temp-t- o emp•ta le,• question, agree that we are ,tit•• lig an honest and fair enroleentt-nt. XIV. ---We have s.) amended tin law governing the running of automobiles that we have now on our Statute books a law• that has been referred to in the legislatures of nearly every State in the Union and Prot ince of this Dominion as the most advanced and practical on the subject of auto- mobiles in any statute book. XV.—To this county alone, the fol- lowing sums were paid in 1007:— Public and Separate Schools $17,310.3.. From Railway Taxation 4,915.00 Total 822,2(31.08 XVI.—The asylums of the province are being improved so as to give the patients therein every help that mod- ern skill can give then', a thing that was entirely neglected before. XV I i.—The Mercer Reformatory for Girls, that formerly cost the Prov- ince $101) per year per girl, has been done away with. and the girls to the number of 131) placed in good homes in this I'royince. XVIIL—The question of Prison Labor has been solved so that when the present plan for which the money has been in part voted is carried out, prison labor will no longer be in com- petition with free labor in this Prov- ince. This competition has been go- ing on for upwards of twenty-five years, but we have solved the question to the complete satisfaction of the labor organizations in the Province, and in a manner which will result in a great saving of expense to the Treas- Ory. XIX.—We promised a measure of law reform that would reduce the cost of litigation to the suitor and would reduce the member of appeals. This is being done. Of my own personal record 1 shall not here speak, except to say that one feature of it gives me pleasure, both on my own account and on account of the couetittrtency which I have had the honor to represent. I have now been before the electors ef South Hur- on since 1897. I have been a member of the Legislature since 1898. In all that time, by the testimony of both friends and opponents, my record has been without stain. Upon this showing, and upon the general record of the Government. I ask for a renewal of your support for the remainder of the campaign, and for your vote on Monday, 8th of June next. I have the honor toy be Very truly EILBER. Urediton, June 2. 1908. Farquhar.
