To Electors of North Huron constituency
LADIES AND G ENTLEMEN,—
At the supposed to be "Union" Political Convention held in the
Town Hall, Whigham, on the afternoon of October 30th, 1917, Mr, Jas.
Bowman, ex -M. P. for this Constituency, made the statement (In effect)
(as Pa • ,
L t
s he knew)that there ne er hod beenanysuch thing as
v t
g
"Graft" r• t
or'•Co "Corruption" in this Riding, and in fact that if there had
P g,
been or was such a thing it did not rest with HIM or with his party.
I hereby CHALLENGE that statement
and will be pleased to meet him and also Mr. Hislop, the Liberal Can-
didate, on the public platform in the
TOWN HALL, BRUSSELS, FRIDAY, NOV. 16th, AT 8 P. M.
.,, when I shall endeavor to demonstrate WHY neither Mr. Bowman nor
+ yet Mr Hislop are deserving of the support of 'True British—Canadians.'
The nndersigoed will be pleased also to receive invitations from
either or both of the above geutlemen to meet them at any of their
++ meetings. •
•p, Mr. Rowell struck the nail "plumb on the head" when in Hamil-
+ ton a $'w days ago he made this statement : "Surrender your party
prejudiees, but not your principles, for the sake of our boys at the
+ front,' tie urged amid cheers. If Union Government meets disaster it
4. will notbe because of the strength of the Opposition, but because of
the prejudice of friends who will not get together.' "
'•w
The undersigned is a supporter of Sir Robert Borden's "Union"
.,., platform, which is neither Conservative nor yet Reform, notwithstand-
+ ing the determined efforts of some strong Partisans to infuse "party"
into it. Oowe with the crowd to Brussels Town Hall on above date.
f The writer's object and stand in this matter is that (being an in -
,+t. dependent) he desires to bring to the attention of the Electors of this
Constituency several matters of which THEY Alin NOT FULLYCONVER-
SANrr and also to impress the urgent necessity of . ELIMINATION OF
.;. "PARTY" POLITICS at this critical time in Canada's history.
'` EVERYBODY INVITED.
Copies of this sent by registered mail to both the above gentle-
+ men. -
+, Yours truly, 1
W. H. WILLIS.

lived together. He was greatly in-
