,TORN T, MORGAN LIBERAL
STANDARD REAMER
g war►
Mr. J. T. Morgan of Usborne,
selected as Liberal, standard-bearer
for the riding of South Huron in the
coiling provincial election at the
Convention of Liberals in Henson
on Saturday last- Mr. Morgan's nom-
ination was unopposed although
several other names were put for -
weed but all withdrew in his favor.
The names of Miss J. Murray, of
Exeter, and Mrs. T..i. Berry of Hen-
sall, were put up but they declined
to stand. The hall was packed for,
the occasion and there was a good'
representation of ladies present.The!
big gathering was strongly in favor
of Mr. Morgan as candidate, but Mr.
Morgan was not there seeking the
office and it was some time before he
was prevailed upon to accept. After
a consultation with the Executive
he was prevailed upon to enter the
field and announced to the audience
that he had decided to let them have
their way. The names of Hy. Smith,
3. Laporte and Robt, E. Pickard
were proposed but all withdrew.
The anouncement was received
with great enthusiasm and a rousing
cheer was given the candidate.
The principal speaker at the con-
vention was Major C. T. Tolmie, M.
P.P., who told the convention they
never had a better time to carry the
Liberal standard to victory. Now
was the opportunity. Mr. Tolmie
could see little difference between
the farmer's platform and the Lib-
eral platform. There was tremend-
ous unrest in the country. If the
government had helped the farmers
as much as it should have there
would not have been such an organ-
ization as the United Farmers of
Ontario. He thought it was a mis-
take for one class to seek power
over all other classes,. but that ev-
eryone should work together for the.
good of the province. He admired
the independence of the farmer but
thought the country was dependent
on the town and at the same time
the town was dependant on the 1
country.
Major Tolmie voiced a protest a-
gainst Premier Hearst's failure to
give the people of the province the
date upon which the elections are
to be held. The premier had pleaded
for fair play and yet had kept the
province in an uproar in refusing
to divulge the date of the election.
The speaker said the Liberals had
been fighting for the abolition of the 1
bar for years and that the Conserva-
tives had not put through the Ont
pario• Temperance Act until forced to.
Mr. Hardy Dewart, the Liberal
leader has said ,that he stands firmly
on the party platform. He thought
I the government had not been gener-
uos enough with the returned men.
He stood for the equality of disabled
men whether one was an officer or
not. He expressed the opinion that
soldiers should not be offered land
in some isolated part of the province
If he had his way the million dollar
Government House at Toronto would
be turned into a hospital for crip-
pled soldiers.
Mr. 3. D. McGregor, a practical
farmer of Halton County, also spoke,
He scored the government on not
giving the date of the forthcoming
election. He believed the govern-
ment was partly to blame for the
great decrease in population on the
farms. The farms were being deser-
ted and thousands of acres were be-
ing seeded out each year. Little or
no results had been obtained in se-
curing labor when production was
strongly urged. Last year when the
fall wheat was a failure and the
farmers were urged to sow springe
wheat the government wheat arriv-
ed too late to sow and had to b
ground into flour at a loss.

ANDREW HICKS,
CAl► D DATE
The United Farmers of South Hu-
ron in convention at Neilsen on
Monday afternoon selected Mr. An-
drew Hicks, of Centralia, to be their
standard bearer in the forthcoming
provincial election. The hall was
packed for the occasion, there being
a good representation. of ladies. W.
D. Sanders, district director of the
U.F.O. was chairman,
Mr. Sanders in opening the con-
vention said that the farmers had
not gathered for any selfish motive
but that the farmer's platform. was
in the interest of ail who toiled with
their hands. There opponents were
few, in number but had a mighty
power behind them. There have been
multi -millionaires made in this
Young country but what have you
made by being a grit or a tory ask-
ed the speaker, He said it was an ig-
norant thing to stand by party poli-
tics. Panty politics was doing for
Canada what kaiserism had done for
Germany. There is a great future
for Canada if started right. The in-
terests of the towns and country
were the same and where the coun-
try prospered tate towns prospered.
He said the farmers lead gathered in -1
dependant of party politics and
were.going to select an independent
candidate.
Mrs. Glenn, President of the Perth
U.F.W.O., was called on to give an
impromptu address representing the
women. She said that she believed
that women should take a stand a-
gainst party politics. She thought
the women were needed just as
much in the political field as they
were to share the toil on the farm.
A representative should be one of
action 'rather than an orator. She
scored O'Connor for the action he
had taken in refusing au advance in
the price of milk. Mrs, Glenn is a
practical farmer who had been con-
gratulated on her cream checks
which were among the largest paid
out by the Exeter or Winchelsea
creameries. After deducting the cost.
of feed, depreciation, etc., there was
not 5 per cent interest on her in-
vestment.
Mr. Harold Currie of Strathroy
was the principal speaker of the af-
ternoon. He said it was the personi-
