7. How Muth was contributed in

John Joynt, North Huron, repre-
sents a riding which gave the 0. T.
A. a majority of 4,644.
"How do you stand on govern-
ment control?" Mr. Joynt was asked
by The Advertiser to -day.
"I really do not wish to say any-
thing about it at the present time,"
said Mr. Joynt.
"Could a Conservative carry
North Huron on a wet platform?"
"That would take a good deal of
figuring out. As to myself, I am not
even sure that I will be a candidate
• next election. There are three Huta
, on seats now, and under' redistribu-
tion there are only two. Ono mem,
ber will have to be dropped, and
have no way of knowing that it
won't be Inc, The people will de-
cide that."

North Huron Tories Opposed
'foronto Star Reporter Interviews
Representative Conservative on
the Liquor Question
Russel King, Conservotive, of
Myth, said; "I am against govern -
merit coritrol. We want it dry around
here."
"'rbe goverdment could 'enforce,.
the 0. T. A. 'A: it tvould,” declared
.I)avid Floody, anothery gas.
-"But I don't think the members of
gov•omment are trying. They want
h»nake the situation look as bad as
meal la,.. Government control is
what they are after, in spite , of the
fact it doesn't work in other planes
like Manitoba and British Columbia.
It, looks as if the wet members of
the -party are shoving Premier Pea
gown pretty hard."
"Do you thirds North Huron
woula elect a government control
candidate?"
"No, I don't think such a cantli-
date would get elected. John Joynt
is going to have quite a time of it at
the next election."
Wouldn't Be Elected
James Moody, Blyth, said: "Gov-
ernment control is a poor affair. T)o
I think the 0. T. A. can be enforc-
ed? Absolutely yes. From my ob.
sorvations I believe the aest of
the province thinks the same way.
I've always favored the 0. T, A.:
it's the best thing we have had. My
polities are the same as Mr. Fergu-
son's but 1 certainly would not vole..
for anyone who favored government
control."
"1 DM certainly in favor of the
0. T. A. and think the govermnent
ehould enforce it," declared. De. A,
3. Irwin, Conservative of Winghna
a
e1 do . think .
he goverument
'would be justified in advocating a
government coalleol system."
"Do you think it govertunent con-
trol candidate would be elected in
North Huron ?"
"No, I do not," replied the doctor.
Would Be Breach of Trust
"There is a strong temperance
feeling here," said W. H. .Gurney of
Wingham, North Huron, "we feel
that the 0. T. A., though not perfect
has been of very material assistance
to us and what we want .61 to go lee-
ward and not to go back. I feel
sure that any recession to a measure
of government control would not be
welcomed in North Huron an,1
would he regarded as a grave breach
of trust by the electors. Any change
such as suggested would not be Wel-
comed by us and I am sure that
should the governMent appeal on
such a platform the vote would be
very seriously affected. Any change
towarls a government control sys-
tem would not be acceptable in
I North Huron,"
PRINCE OR EARL? tions, Messrs. Armstrong and Little
had nothing to say, and stated that
they would see their lawyer at once.
Mr. Glover ran against Mr. Arm-
strong at the recent election for the
office of deputy reeve and was de-
feated by a large majority.
Earl Beatty.
If the Duke of York, second son
of King George, does not accept the
post of governor-general in Canada,
and the indications are that be will
not, the honor will likely be offered
to Earl Beatty. •Hi e name is prom-
inently mentioned in Britain in con-
nection with the office.
