Sir Alan Ayleszvorth, Toronto:
"I have been voting no,w for more than fl11‘y years in parliamentary
election-, und J. have never given a Conservative vote, but i ant guing
to do so this year, because I think that any measure of prohibition
by lam acc opposed to prohibition by education is the very reverse of
what I have atwaye coneidered were the true principles of Liberalism.
As well might one try to advance the interest of religion or of Christian-
ity by legislation that would compel the people to go to chureh."
Professor Alfred Baker, University of Toronto:
"The 0.T.A., has proved a failure, conceived though It was with the
best intentions and administered by Attooneys-General who earnestly`
desired Its success. It has not chopped the use of liquor: there has
grown a contempt for the law; it has created a class of bootleggers
who have been enriched beyond the dreams of avarice. Surely it is
time to make a change:"
Hon. R. B. Bennett,' K.C., M.P., Ex -Minister of Finance,
Calgary, Alberta:
'Not only has the Alberta Act been declared to be legally valid,
but in practice it does control the liquor Wattle in that' erovince. The
best proof of what can be done is what has been done, and in the
lanewege of ono of the judges of the Appellate Division of the Supremo
Court of the province in .whIch I reside ---7 think the present Liquor
Control Aet s good and sound one, and has done more in the direction
of temperance than any law we hitherto have had.''
Lt. -Col. Arthur L. Bishop, Si. Catharines, Ont.:
"No good can come from arbitrary and hysterical measures, The
O.T.A. has proved unforceable even under two such dry Attorneys -
General as Mr. Nickle and 'Mr. Raney, end where they have failed no
one else will succeed. We are teeing facts, not theollos. I think
Government Control should be given a fair trial In Ontario, as It has
been in the West, s.nd I believe the result will be equally satisfactory."
Col. Herbert A. Bruce, N.D., L.R.C.P., Toronto:
"It is not a cleft -elan of "dry" or "wet"; it Is a question of another
Temperance A.et againet one that lips been tried and found wanting.
I consider Mr. Ferguson's proposal reasonable and enforceable, and
therefore a great advance on the old Att. As such it should have the
support of every one sincerely interested in furthering she Temperance
cause and reducing the evils of drunkenness."
Police. Magistrate C. H. Burgess. Peel County:
"My view of the matter is that the mile of liquor is out of control
and is running wild (under the 0.1'.A.), and it is necessary to try to
bring it under control again."
Rev. Father J. E. Burke, C.S.P., St. Peter's Roman
Catholic Church, Toronto:
"It (the 0.T.A.) has been no blessing. During the yeans it has
been on our Statute Books the youth of Ontario, with singular and
beautiful exceptions, has gene back. The terrifying inoreaie in liquop
amongst...our boys tend girls, even of tender years; • the consequent
deterioration of moral standards and conduct; the curse of the boot-
legger; the conquest by strong liquor of our parents, our homes, our
clubs, our students, our gatherings, have been begotten and thrived
tinder the away of prohibition."
dlr. L. N. Byrns, former Treasurer Sarnia
Prohibition Ilnion, Sarnia, Ont.:
'There are two questions before the electors In this campaign:
(1) Will we continue theverninent control under the Ontario Temper-
ance Act, as we have had it for the lost few years, whereby any person
wanting liquor van buy a11 he likes from the beetlegger, or (2) will we
have it conteolled so that a pereon cnn only bay it through a Govern-
ment eommisition Ionise, where a person has got to have a permit to
buy it and then only a certain ouantity at a time? 15111 not a staunch
Conservative; I 1,1.15 voted Liheral when I deemed it wise, but will
not this time."
Col. R. II. A. Carman, Belleville, Ont.:
"I ant convinced the people have seen enough to lead there to
decide they would rather have the distribution of liquor by Government
regulation than by the unscrupulous bootlegger."
Finn. and Reverend IL 1 Cody, LL.D., D.D., Toronto:
."rio. greet achievements of the control plan, in my estimation,
t•onsIst of the foliewinge In the first place, people were nO longer
thinking and tilleing incessantly about getting a drink; in the second
Parc , there was an overwhelming public opinion behind the enforce-
ment of the Act where in the past public opinion had been strongly
divided and illegal ironic had .flourished bemuse resorted to by a con-
siderable section of the publice-ela the third place, bootlegging en a
large scale was enermouely diminished."
Draper Dobie, Toronto:
"Having voted Liberal in the last general election, and dry in the
firet two referendiuns, why have I deeided to vote for Premier Per-
guson's Government and policy? 11 Is because Ontario wants more
'business end lii taxes,. more honesty and less deceitfulness, more
breadth of Memel In and less narrowness of parochialism, more self-
respect and less fir,"

17. I: Farr Kieesion, Olti.: •
When ihe la to" Principal Grant 'was at Queen's University he
convinced me us probably no other man could of the pernieloue evils
of prohibielon, Those like myself who remember Principal grant, will
agree with me when 1 epeait of his far-seeing vision, his profound
scholarship', and his true appreciation of human values. I believe pro.
hiTiltinn is the blackest Spot on the whole history of. the Province of
Ontario."
Clara C. Field, Cebourg, Ont.:
"Spent:Mg front a wernan's standpoint, I fear very niuth the result
our present system .of oontrolling the liquor question will have .on the
character of our young people, who are growing up in an atmosphere
of reeltlees law -breaking and deceitful living. WIII it be possliele for
them to here those teelings 02 patriotism they should have. te they,

Sir Joseph. Novelle, &wt., Toronto:
'If the responsibility were mine 1 would not choose Government

aceept the sale of itemors through Government agenciee only, under
a system of 'permits, as probt-bly the best obtaleable change enforcible
tinder the existing state of mimicopinion."
Rev. T. W. Goodwill, Presbyterian plturch, Cobourg, Ont.:
'7 believe the 0.T.A. to be n, relieve, but in thie eleetiot campaign
I regard the Act not as a pelf:tie:11 issue, but a moral issue; not a
• question of lack of enforeetnent but rather of impossibility of enforce-
' went, I find conditions under the °merle Temperance Act to be
much wovee then they were before, T belleVe that Premier Ferguson
is malting a sincere and stedied effort to secure a law that will be
observed and one that can be enforced."
"I trove' twice eery yeltr illeough the whole of Canada. I know
the extent of the 'home mit.og etit 111 Hatail.e,i. I do not know that it
cam be worse in Huy other pert ef the Province. In the Vtfest you cannot
hear any complaint with peosent conditione. In Ontario It is impossible
to got away from exert:seed ridicule anti disrespect for the 0.T.A."
Mr, F. Barry Ilayes, Pres., Toronto Carpet Mfg. Co., Toronto:
'My impression of prohibition is that whereas the country 'gener-
ally thought it would'ho very much to its interests, it etas only resulted
in making many of our citizens hypocrites and law -breakers. This is
having a very bad effect generally. Drinking in our cities and larger
towns has ciertainly increased to an alarming extent. I ant not a 'wet'.
but I etn not in favor of repressive legislation. The idea of making
people good by statute is a delusion."
Rev. Father C. J. Killeen, Belle -Dille, Ont.:
view with a great deal of concern the increase in lawlessness
and crime that prolfibltion has engendered. It leads to'a spirit of dis-
trust. It is no use saying to the people 'You cannot have liquor.' Those
who want it will get it. Fifty-one per cent. of the people eannot impose
their will on the other forty-nine per cent,"
Rev. John Lyons, M.A., Church of England Rector:
"After studying the situation I have become convinced that Pre-
mier Ferguson's politer is the best solution yet placed before the people
of Ontario to adequately deal with the liquor problem."
Von. Archdeacon Mackintosh, Dunclas, Ont.:
"Yon never heard of the Prohibitionists of the Provinces which
have Government Control asking for a change to what we call rt. pro-
hibition law. It shows that they are satisfied with the lave and feel
that it is useless to ask for a change."
J. C. Makins, K.C., Stratford, Ont.:
"In a very large pereentage of the cases in my experience con-
tested In court. In these districts ("Waterloo County 8.nd Windsor Bor-
der), perjury has been eommitted, This Is are feature that our Re-
called 'temperancie' friends seem to overlook. In this respect the cure
seems worse than the disease,"
Rev. W. G. Martin, Pilgrim United Church, Brantford, Ont.:
''Ne man, unlew he Is blind, can say vrith sincerity that the 0.T.A.
as a prohibition measure has been the success we hoped and believed
it would be, when h beteene law. The -more 1 eonsider the question the
more convinced I am tbet the bringing about of prohibition, an ideal
towards which we ars all striving, and to which we are committed as
men and women, eager for the best moral interest of the community
and ot the state, is a precess of education. It is the responsibility of
Pc home, the school; and the church."
D. L. McCarthy, K.C., Toronto,:
'The Ontario Temperance Act had undoubtedly abolished the bar,
but unfortunately, instead of having one bar in a hotel, we now have
rooms in hotels converted into private bars,"
C. G. McGraie, Vice -President, Welland Vale Mfg. CO.,
St. Catharines, Ont.:
"Not only labor, but the country as a wbele, will be better under
Government contrel. 1 strongly endorse the F; eguson policy."
Major-General the Hon. S. C. Aletebrtrn, Hamilton, Ont.:
"I unhesitatingly state that in my opinion the policy of the Govern-
ment control id limier, as it is now stated by the Prime Minister, is
sound and In the best interest of all the peopls of the Province. I have
lately been in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta ana
BriLish Colurabia. . . This is what I have learned. The people
wlurevere strongly in favor of prohibition will without any qualification
whatever say now that since Government control of liquor has come
into force they would never fOr one moment go back upon their present
legislation."
Controller William Morrison, Hamilton, Ont.:
"There is more alcohol drunk in Hamilton now than at any time
in the eity's history."
William Muloek, K.C., Toronto:
"I have no hesitation In telling the people of Ontario that I favor
Government control in preference to the 0.T.A., and that I will support
the policy of the Fergusor Goverement."
Mrs. Entily Murphy (Janey egenecie),
Police Magistrate, Edmonton, Alberta:
"Before Government control became the law of Alberta. I opposed
It vlgorottely, both en the platform and by my pen. 1 wes fearful that
our, last state would be worse than our first, It seemed only lOgiont
that if the restrictions were removed there would be mord drunkenness
and crime. No living person tumid persuade me to the contrary.
''After a period of several years in Which I have been called upon
to enforce the present Liemer Control Act. both as a city and provincial
magistrate, I ant bound to acknowledge that my fears were largelY
unfounded. There was not CVE•11 a melt of inebriety as I had predicted,
the people showing a remarkable degree of restraint. The condition
was steadily improved—again 1 say, 1101 from any degree of spiritual
enrichment on the part of our people—but because dee law was well
conceived ancl is being well enforced."

Dr. G. J. Musgrove, Temperance Candidate in 1919,
Niagara Falls, Ont.:
"Before 1016 we had 15 bare and liquor stores in Niagara Falls;
now we have double that number of bootleggers. The Provincial Pollee
and the License Inspectors beet° been very active in endeavoring to
enforce the Ontario Temperance Act, but it is really impotetible to do so.
I am not only in favor of Mr. Verguson's policy, but I particularly'
endorse the ovision that no permit shell be given to persons under 21
years of age"
Mr. Paul J. Myler, Pres. Canadian Westinghouse Co.,
Hamilton, Ont.:
As a large employer of labor I seo no nossibility of rerun for
complaint in Ontario 'when a man shall be allowed a bottle of hoer in!
his own house. Long experience with our men in this company is good
enough for me rib this paint.''
J. G: Notman, Vice -President McKinnon Industries,
St. Catharines, Ont.:
"We have as much trouble now with our la'hor as we bed
before prohibition came trio effect. There are the same Monday and
Tuesday tilllicultiee, but new they are due to poisoned alcohol. our
men would be Meoli better If they could have good beer when they
want it. Government control as they have it in the West is what we
tihould have he Ontario."
Col. W. N. Ponton, K.C., Belleville:
"As a lawyer I know that the Sad fact cannot be controverted, that
in liquor eases under the repressive 0.T.A, truth has lost its ancient
power. The administration et Justice has been honeyeotnbed by perhavy
and the oath has lost it's sauetity, deepite the conscientious a.nd able
efforts of magistrates, Crown attorney' and pollee officers who have
done'their best to seem the title of revolt. Where the law ends, tyranny
begins. The 0.T.A. is despotic, arbitrary and against the will of the
eitizene of Canada. A wise law is 'the State's collected will.' The 0.T.A.
never was. Under the 0.T.A. we are all treated as children and weak-
lings and eximinels."
Dr. A. Primrose, Dean of Medicine, Toronto University:
They (the medical doctors) are legally permitted to iseue a definite
number Of prescriptions each month, the inference being that the
number of sick folk requiring alcohol should not exceed that number,
and the doctor if he keeps within that limit is safe from adverse
oriticism. The present situation 18 intolerable. The medical profession
must be released from midi undignified setetitvde,"

"Government Control ham operated m several of the Provintes of

out suele /sensible evil as to suggeet that prohibition is a necessity;
certainly without such evil as is palpable under • prohibition in the
United States. It seems to me that the amount of public or private
harm whialt the proposed Government control leaves possible need not
compel any of us to interfere with the personal freedunt of other people."
Dr. F. IV. G. Starr, Toronto:
"Some over -zealous people tell us that ,loverninvot Control does
not worit In the Provinces where it is being tried, but such Is not my
interpretation as I have found it. I have visited each Province
where there lies been a change, both under prohibitory measures and
under Government Control, and the odds, to my way of 0r:eating, are
all on the side of Government ControL"
Mr. Edward Tellier, former Liberal Member for
North Essex, Windsor, Ont.:
"1 do not look 'upon this as m party Bght. / think we must an
take off our coats and put Government Control over. I ata for Govern-
ment Control first, last a.nd all the time."
Dr. I. A. Temple, M.R.C.S., LLD., Past President
Ontario Medical Association, Toronto:
"There is one fact that is very prominent in my mind and which
I think might well be emphasized—that is the great inereaeo in the
use of narcotics in the last three or four years. The man who was
addicted to liquor has switched in many cases to drugs. While there
Is always hope for the drunkard, it is almost Impossible to cure the
drug addict. The 0.T.A., was xnuch too sweeping In Its provisions."
Most Rev. G. Thorneloe, D.D., D.C.L., Archbishop of Algoma,
and Metropolitan of Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario, 1915:
'There is in human nature a sense of freedom which must be
respected. All these considerations have to be weighed by the Govern-
ment, and I have very great hope that the measures proposed bY
Premier Ferguson will be found, if carried out, to be a very great
improvement on what we have been experiencing the past few years."
Sir Charles Tupper, Winnipeg:
"The reasons that convince me most firmly that Premier
Ferguson's policy will prove a great boon for the people of Ontario
are based on my observation of the great success of liquor control in
Manitoba. Control in Manitoba, has brought about the following three
great improvements: there is lees drinking by both .young and old.
particularly by the young; control has ereated a higher moral tone in
the community at large; it has also brought talent a decidedly higher
respect for law."
L. A. Van Skiver, formerly Inspector
Children's Aid Society, Picton, Ont.:
"1 have been an ardent prohibitionist all my life. leut\en the

disrespect for law than all the other causes combined during the ten
years ef its existence. Government Control, with individual permits, ie

Levi Williams. Palice Magistrate, Picton, Ont.:
"All my life 1 have been a temperance aavoeate. But when I saw
not only how the law itself was being disregarded by people who were
not widened to lan-brettking bui by the actual perversion of the process
