Legislature, The Nominating con-
ventlon was held on Saturday after-
noon, at Seaforth there being a large
and representative gathering. When

narne than that of 'lir. Proudfoot was
meutiotied, and his three years of
active work in the Le islature as a
supporter of Hon. A. 0. MacKay re-
ceived the nuanimous endorsement of
the Convention.
This was also the annual meeting
of the Centre Huron Liberal Associa-
tion, and the following officers were
elected : President, Michael Miu,tlie,

ConvMr. Proudfoot, after thanking the
spoke eofithon for tee hitt L done him,
pre created by the reatli lis i opor-
tion of members on tire Government
and. Opposition sides, respectively.
The Opposition had little influence
numerically, but by carefully scanning
each item of legislation, and making
it t•uu the gauntlet of an open discus -
sire, they were often able to make
improvements. Mr. Prounfoot criti-
sized the arbitrary exercise 01 power
by the Government in its Hydro -oleo-
trier policy and in its administration
of educational affairs drew attention
to the rapid increase of expenditure,
and declared his intention of reintro-
tlucing Iris bill to abolish the three-
fifths clause at every session at which
he was a member,
Hon. A. G. MacKay made an ad-
dress which held the close attention
of his hearers. The warmest ap-
ianse was when he advocated 1oca1

in discussing reciprocity he scored
those responsible for the cry of the
destruction of Canadian nationality
through better trade relations with
our neighbors. lie thanked the Lib-
orals of Centre Huron fm• sending to
the Legislature nue of the most able
supporters he had in the House. Mr.
Proudfoot had made a name for hint-
self at the Bar, and he found that the
mien who achieved eminence in their
own vocation were elle men who were
most successful in political life. He
dealt at some length with the Gov-
ernments's mismanagement and hung-

ling.

nesday of last week aged 59 years,
months and 15 days. Isle was born in

The Methodist church lost a loyal and
sailed member when Mr. Wilford
passed away. Whether as a local
preacher, class leader, Sunday School
superintendent or other office he al-
ways did his part faithfully and with
00 small ability. Generous financial
schemes a of the church andhe his various
were often employed on neighboring
g
fields of labor before the decline of hisun
health. Few - men were better known
in the.Co. than John Wilford and by
