mond is due the prevailing system of
tabulating election retut05 in this city,
which allows of complete returns to
the pubito one hour after the closing of
the booths, This he devised more
than 20 years ago, and bas ever since
given the system his petsotial super-

was attended to. In the afternoon at
3 o'clock there was a mass meeting in
St. Andrew's church acldtessed by
Dr, Clarence McKinnon, Modelator of
the Assembly, He dealt with the sit-
uation within the church in a clear,
comptehensiveand impassioned man -
nee. Ile led his hearers to visualize
the task of the church at home and
abroad, He deem ibed how the work
had grown and developed year after
year until it assumed present day
proportions,
We had been building up for many
years until a year or to ago when we
had to recall men from the needy
home fields, and discharge native
workers from alt ategic posts in the
foreign field. The work had to be
cut off, abandoned because of a deficit
itt our funds, Here, Fetid the speaker,
was the opportunity of today. Shall

Illuetratione were used from history
to show how opportunity might be
lost, and the tragedy of such a loss,
Pictures were drawn of what might
have been, had the enntendants
only pressed nn a little farther. 'rhe
speaker urged the need of seizing the
oppoturtity and finishing our task.
Dr, Walters, a missionary from Ind-
ia, was a bearer of good tidings who
gladdened all hearts as he repotted
"the things he had seen and heard,"
At the evening mase meeting he
transported his hearers to the mission
field and introduced them to the pati-
ents he would meet in the ordinary
.round of duties. Showing how the
sweet winsomeuese of the gospel was

the 1924 voters' lists are comlet-

most expected that in ost cif the
rural sub -div'isi'ons these lists wilt
be ready in plenty of time. In the
larger cities, however, where the
lists are not usually completed
until near the end of the year, the
1923 lists will be employed.
Sixth Vote on Question
'Phis will be the sixth time the
people of Ontario •have voted
on the liquor question as the sole
issue in' one foam oranother since
Confederation an 1867. In. those
days the Dunkin Act, which pro-
vided for a form of local option,
was in force for be followed after
Confederation by the Scott Act,
which provided for ltolcaa option
votes by counties and cities.
The Scott Act was a federal
pleasure and at that time there
was a 'legal dispute as towhether
temperance legislation was in fed-
eral or provincial Jurisdiction,
While it was still before the Privy
Council the first plebscite was
held in Ontario,fal'lotwing a sim-
ilar vote in Manitoba. The Ont-
aniio vote was taken in 1894 iend
resulted in 192,489 tflor prohibit -
and 110,720 against it Shortly
afterwards the ,P'rivy Council hand
ed down its decision, which decid-
ed the federal and ' pnovinc 2t
spheres of activity in temperance
legislation as we -have them to -day
This vote was followed by a bili
in the Ontario Legislature more
stnin'genitly regulating the liquor
tnacic but not grantingprohibition.
All Canda Vote in 1898.
Shortly after the first plebiscite
that Liberal party came into power
in the dominion,and following his
lore -election promise, Premier
Laurier tater announced a nation-
wide vote on prohibition. It was
held in 1898. Ontario went154,
498 for and 115,284 against pro-
thibitiotn. The vote for the eninre
Dominion was 278,380 for pro-
hibition, and 264,692 against.

Laurier set forth that, as the baba
number who voted for prohibition
was less than 23 per cent of the
total n'um'ber of elec'to'rs on the
lists, his govern'men't could see no
good purpose in passing the meas-
ure.
The 'Ontario Referendum was
held in 1902. 'Premier G. W.
Ross had introduced a bits which
would put into force in Ontario
legislation similar to the "Man-
itoba Liqulotr Act" provided it wIs
approved by a number of electors
exceeding half the total' number
of electors wllo voted in the ap-
proaching provincial general elect-
ion. The general election was
some months previous to the refer-
endum. On this vote the stand-
ing was 199,749 for and 103,548
against prohibition. While the the
majority was substantial, it was
not sufficient to put the act into
force. After the defeat of the Ross
Government, Premier Whitney in-
troduced the local option' bill,
which provided lfor [Focal option
only when three-fifths of the votes
cast in a municipality were favor-
able and it also took three-fifths
1 to make the municiipallity wet
again after it had been once voted
dry.
