J„11n 111, (Jov- enlock, Reeve of McIClilop, ns their candidate for the L>'giolat u' iu opposition to the Hearst Government. The only way to check the extravagance and wastefulness, voupli with inefficiency, whieb have for yoary been exhibited ill 1'rt,vinrial affairs, is to turn the Government nut, In 1904 (tete last year. the Liberate (001'0 in power in ()made) t he Provincial expenditure wee $15,207,453. Por 1918 it was 415.4101,11)2 (after deducting an item of 82,051,212 in eouuectiun with Op' (0•11,) This means that the expenditure hue trebled rosier 00n801votive Gov- erumert SHil w0ree, the public debt of the Provinne has incr2300211 Treat 1:11,- 709,1351 in 1904 to 575,1315,917 in 1418, The Opposition has protested in vain against the rech,l."' pen. mg and borrowing of the Government, Mr. Proudfoot, the late member for the riding, complains of ull1ai0 treatment from the Liberals of Oentre Huron, because they derail to disapprove of some of hie actions, No Liberal disputes lir. Freud - foot's right to do ae he pleases in his private capacity ; but his courne as it representative of the people is always open to criticism, or repre- sentative government, is a mockery, 11r, Proudfoot stayed with the Liberal Party until the Provincial Liberal Convention of June Inst. failed to elect him as leader, after which he stated that he would nev- er again attend a Liberal Meeting. He is now running practically as the Conservative candidate. The truth of the matter is that for some years (long bef'or'e the split. of 1917) there has been growing dissatisfaction with Mr. Plouclfoot as the representative of this riding. His actions have been too murk swayed by Toronto influences. We want a member who 'will repre- sent Centre Huron—Toronto hits ten or as doyen members of its awn. 11ir, Proudfoot went out of his way in 1917 to support the Unionist Government, whose Franchise Act was an insult to seventy.tive per cent of the women of this Province. The women of Centre Huron who were considered to be not patriotic enough to be allowed to vole in the election of 1917 owe it to their self-respect to reprove the gross. ly unfair and undernoo atic manner in which that election was con- ducted by Mr. Proudfoot's friends. Mr. Govenlock stands squarely on the Liberal platform no Prohibi- tion, Governmental economy, a fair Franchise law, Taxation reform, Proportional Representation, Suitable provision for. returned soldiers and especially for the dependents of killed or disabled soldiers, 10110 101n active an intelligent interest in problems relating to Labor and Agri- culture. As a member of the McKillop Township Council and the Huron County Council for the last 13 years, he has a thorough acquaintance with the municipal problems which are constantly coming before the Legislature. As a member of the County Council Mr. Govenlock was a leader in the pateiot10 program which gave out. County such a splen- did war record. His personal sacrifices in the war include a eon and son-in•law killed while fighting in the ranks. As a citizen and as a public representative he has done his duty well, and the electors of this riding will make no mistake in sending hien to represent them in the Legislature. Men and Women of Centre Huron, you know where John M, Govenlock stands. Can you say that you know where Mr. Livingston and 111x. Proudfoot, the other candidates, stand in this election ? The only way to cast an effective ballot against the extra- vagant and incompetent Hearst Government is to vote for J. M. Govenlock on Monday next. LIBERAL COMMITTEE OF CENTRE.

The Coiset'vottivrs 10(0(1 Liberal parties had not up to the formation of the Ciutnu Government done all they dight have in work in unity in pros. - tutting the 11(01, anti in litany quarters p,uly feeling had grown hitter. A change was absolutely necessary if the hoped to give adequate assistance. It Was finally decided to form a Union Government., Lille Wally others 1 wai, anxious to 00110' 11115 neru101plI.nlled without fri°t.ion and by the united effort of all parties and with a special deel oe that the Liberals should have a prominent place to, tete elation's work. Unfortunately fun Liberalism and the country the parties did not fully unite clod, with a huge number of Liberals, I found myself advocating a different Policy to that of our leader. I had for forty years taken a somewhat prom- hielll part in the Connells of the Lib- eral Pet ty, and it. 00100 with deep row anti regret 1 emit(' thyself in as position of opposit4111. 11'-lieving 110 I did tiuu the interests of my nouie'y were tit stake, 1 (lid not hesitate to follow the course dic- tated by my conscience, In doing so I knew it would cause trouble for file lu the future and that I was to a cer- tain extent taking my political life in my hands. Subsequent events show- ed that my 'ii 111ise was rorrect, The executive of the Centre Bittern Liberal Aesoci,atioll in February, 1918, passed to 1(anlutinu of censure on lay actions, and this was followed by a similar motion at the annual meeting in May. I was also ceneulyd because I had voted for the extension of the life of the Legislature. Iso voted because I did not think it was in the best inter- ests of the count> y to bring on an elec- tion during the war, Before taking this question op in the Hoose, I had as meeting of the Liberal opposition and 090033 by their unanimous voice direct. ed 108 10 the course to pursue. 1 sug- gested an extension, and it was ay- Ianged for. I out still of the opinion that the course agreed to was correct. I have no regrets nor apology to offer, nor do I desire to shhk responsibility for my actions. I also believed in exercising my ,judgment on both questions, acted strictly in aecordanee with the prin- ciples of true Liberalism, which means if it means anything, that a man has a right to exercise his opinion accord- ing to the dictates of leis conscience. Our ancestors fought and bled for this right. \Vhy then should I have been found fault with ? 'I thought, and still Mink, 1 wits unfairly dealt with and that in passing said resolu- tions a true principle of Liberalism had been departed from and some- thing akin to Prussfapism resorted t.11. 1'11,1,4.. the citcutustancee, I could not ack my way clear to again offer in voter tae a t:.andidate for re-election 109 ct P.0 t y candidate.

I also appeal to the soldiers in whose behalf, as well as that of the Empire, I took the course I did. Do not forget that the election will be held on Monday, the 20th, of Oc- tober, and that every elector, man and woman, should come out and exercise his and her franchise in favor of, at any rate the Temperance Act, the fate of any candidate is unimport- tmL,in comparison with its success.,; Yours faithfully, W.

There is no phase of character greater oc more worthy of praise and reward than Patriotism, and in no case has the possession of this attribute been more clearly exemplified than by those who were willing to sacrifice their all upon the altar of their noun - try ; to lay down their lives in its de- fence, and that Freedom, Justice and Right might prevail and be regarded as sacred possessions by all, As an appreciation of the part you have both taken in securing these privileges, and as a meek of the esteem in which you are held by us we ask you to accept these purses. We trust you both may long be spared to use them, and while our gifts may not in themselves be of any great value, we wish you to feel that they are accompanied by some- thing infinitely more valuable than all the gold and jewels in the world, that,is, the respeot and esteem of your friends and associates.
