Changed Names In 1875
The election of 1875 saw the
Unioli and Reform parties renamed
Conservative and Liberal following
the exemple of the Dominion House.
The provincial Liberals were then
led by Sir Oliver 1VIowat, who bad
forsaken the judiciary for politics,
Shrewd leader, of men, he held the
premiership for 24 years, still an
Ontario record. He was appointed
fieutenantlgovsrnol' In 1897.
.Meanwhile, in 1894, the province
saw the first serious outbreak in the
two-party system with the nomin-
ations of the Patrons of Industry
and the Protestant Protective As-
sociation. The P.I, won 14 seats
and the P.P,A, .two in the general
election that year.
Led by Joseph Haycock the Pat-
rons are recalled by many as the
genesis of the United Farmers' po-
litical .movements in Canada. For
four years the P,I's were an effec•
Give group in the Ontario House
and put the older parties on their
mettle. Mr. Haycock was defeated
In the 1898 eleotion. The new
party broke up.
The Protestant :Protective Asso-
ciation rose from the agitation born
of the payment of 3400,000 by the
province of Quebec for Jesuit es-
tate claims. It became an issue in
the Dominion House and was
echoed throughout Ontario. With
the ebb of sectarian sentiment the
P. P. A. mobement subsided.
The general election of 1905 end•
ed a long Liberal regime, after 36
years In the saddle, Conservatives
first under Sir James Whitney, then
Sir William Searet, were in offio_
till 1919.
Tried Group Coalition

Post-war reconstruction and the
election of 1919 brought Ontario's
first venture in government out-
side the two major parties. The
United Farmers elected 44 mem-
bers, Liberals 29 and Conservatibes
25. With the help of 11 Labor
memrbees, E. C. Drury formed the
Farmer -Labor coalition which held
the reins neary four years.
Led by G. Howard Fegruson the
Conservative party regained office
In 1923, taking 76 seats as compar.
ed with 17 U.F.O., 15 Liberal and
three Labor, George S, Henry'cuc-
ceeded Ferguson as premier on his
appointment as High Commission-
er to London,
In the election of 1934 the Lib•
erals under Mitchell Hepburn
swept the province an dtook over

PrODAY you have reason to rejoice that you voted
Henry out and Hepburn in. The Hepburn administra-
tion has replaced mismanagement with good manage-
ment, extravagance with economy. It has replaced the
unbalanced budget with a balanced budget, changed the
chronic yearly deficit to a surplus of over 9 million dol-
lars. It has relieved the drain and strain on taxpayers'
pocketbooks in many ways. In the year that ended
March 31st, 1937, it reduced Ontario's gross debt by
$33,098,165.39.
How You Have Profited
by Hepburn's Policies
1 Grant, equal to one mill on the dollar, from the Prov-
ince to every Municipality, has relieved Municipal
taxpayers to the extent of $3,000,000.
Cancellation of the amusement tax will save patrons of
the theatre, sports and other amusements $3,000,000 a
year.

Ontario is granting a $5 reduction in Motor Car rates
that will save motorists $2,500,000 a year.
The Province has cancelled the 20 per cent. levy for-
merly made upon the Counties toward the cost of
King's Highways, a saving to Municipalities of over
$2,700,000 to date, and a; further saving this year of
$2,000,000.
Township Road subsidy was increased to 50 per cent.,
a saving to townships of $400,000 per year.

Entire cost of Mothers' Allowances was assumed by the
Province, a saving to the Municipal Taxpayers of over
$2,100,000 a year.
Municipalities' share of Old Age Pensions was taken
over by the Province, saving over $1,000,000 a year.
Payment of Pensions to the Blind of $300,000.
Abolition of the Students' examination fees of $170,000
is another worth -while saving that Mothers and Fathers
appreciate.
Rates for Hydro -Electric Power have been reduced to
users to the extent of $4,800,000.
The Hepburn Government paid relief charges out of
current revenue instead of adding them to the Public
Debt to be paid for by increased taxes in the future,
as was the policy of the former Government.
More Sunshine Budgets
On October 6th, you will have the opportunity of show-
ing Mitchell F. Hepburn how much you appreciate his
handling of the Province's finances and the administra-
tion of its government. Mark your ballot for the Liberal
Candidate in your constituency and work to elect him by
a safe majority. That's the way to show Mr. Hepburn
you want him to "Carry On" with his program of tax
reductions. He promises another "Sunshine Budget" this
year—and you know he keeps his promises. Be kind to
your own pocketbook—Vote Liberal.
arrq On, Hepburn!
