Ontario Women's Liberal AseoclatIon Hoide Provincial Oonventien-41e. owls Much and Work Hord 1 Three are day, of now things and a new ttort of political convention wail the gathering of Liberal women trona all parts of the province in Toronto on May lith, for the annual meeting of the Ontario Womeres Liberal Astro - dation. There was no sign of &Ma- teurlehnsaa or inexperience 'either in the executive handling of the carotene nor In the range and depth of the sub- jects discussed. Woman's training in other societies is standing her in good stead in these larger responsibilities that have been placed upon her, The morniug opesion was devoted to businese and to the discussion of Vas - tic problems, and a luncheon et noon was follovrod by a public meeting with Mr. Newton Rowell and Dr. Magee Clark, M.P., from Red Deer, as the chief speakers. Axaong the plaorse'rep- resented by delegateat the confer- ence were; Paris, Brampton, Cale- donia, North Bay, Kitchener, Welling- ton, Lindsay, Picton, Hamilton, Dunn- ville, Beameville, Guelph, Strathroy, Bowmanyllle, London, Oollingwood, Drumbo, Woodetock, and a number of others. Among the topics discussed in the morning ware, "After the War, What?" and "Production." Mrs. Henry Car- penter said, "Let us adopt the slogan 'Steed behind the flag with the twee* Mrs. David Williams of Oollingwood p,roposed that women should stop us- ing cake. Mrs. Robert Glasgow referred to the Patronage system as "The stalk on which grow the beautiful blossoms of graft." "Too many representatives," she said, "are so much afraid of their Party and of their constituents that they don't speak of the Isigheet things that are in their mind. Let us show theta that we will be behind them if they develop statesmanship," Mrs. George Law of Drumbo explained the motives that led to the organization of Liberal women in that village. "Drumbo Liberal women," she said, "organized to study and to learn how to vote and hove to be of service to the community. We want the countrw to be better bemuse we are there." Mrs. Rowell thought that whether wo- men wore Liberals or Conservatives they must all have a more serious purpose e -.ow than ever before. If the women would stand behind the beet things the slipcase of the best would be assurred," Mrs, J. M. God- frey, in discussing the work of the Association, said that true Liberalism meant the liberation of spiritual en- ergy. "Surely," she said, "we should strive to make the politioal arena as clean as our own homes." Mrs. J. A. Macdonald was re-elected President of the Association and Mrs. Margaret Hyslop was appointed Or- ganizing Secretary. Dr. -Michael Clark gave a scholarly and inspiring address on the war with references also to the tariff, Mr. Row- ell in addition to discussing problems relating to the war, referred to the race track evil, quoted from Detroit papers showing how Detroit deplored the going of their young men across the river to Windsor to gamble at the race meetings. REVIVING INTEREST IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS Whether it is increased publie..ser- iousness arising from the war or a revived interest in public aftairs, M- ing to Woman Suffrage, or a combina- tion of these and other causes, a political transformation is Occurring in Toronto, evidenced particularly by changes in the Liberal Party there. For a number of years the Liberal Party locally in the capital was aelth- or as strong nor as admirable as It should have been. Within the last few months, howeYer, evidence is ac- cumulating that citizens', men and wo- men alike, of the very highest type, are commencing to take an interest in practical public affairs as applied in. Toronto Citr Riding Associations. The latest sign of this stimulating development is the election and ac- ceptance as President of the newly formed Parkdale Provincial Riding Association of Mr. S. J. Moore. Mr. Moore is an outstanding baliinees man; one who has been a leader In all movements, amide economic and religious, for the good o,ijhe commun- ity. Mr, Mark Bredin, another gentle- man of the highest type, le President of the new North East Toronto Pro- vincial Liberal Association, and for the South West Riding there is Mr. G. G. S. Lindsey, also one of Use lead- ing citizens of Toronto. Associated with these leaders are large groups of men and women representing var- ied interests in the city, all co-operat- ing in public affairs and exercising their responsibilities: of citizenship, particularly 1n these critical times of the war when 80,07 man and woman, in some capacity, should Nerve the State. At the Parkdale meeting Mr, Row- ell took rather a serious view of 'the war situation; deplored the apathy of the Ottawa Government and declared that whereas in other count:lea gov- ernments have used the best brains of all politioal ',artiste here the goy* eminent hag not attempted to nae tho best brelne of even lie own party. Sane Carter, M.P.P., assailed the Pat- ronage evil and favored a Most getter - out treatment of returned and disabled 'soldiers. hill.
