The Standing of .the Conservative Party
on the Temperance Question.
Public speakers in: the U. F.' 0, and Liberal parties have been
making a great outcryabout the danger. the Ontario Temperapee.
Act will ,be in should the Conservative party be returned to power in
Ontario. All this outcry has aroused in Conservative ranks where
are to be found some of the most ardent advocates of prohibition, a"
sort of a white -:hot anger.': Who gave Ontario the 0, T, A., the Act
about which the Liberal and Drury Parties have gathered like a pair
of fussy fowl with one chick? It was a Conservative Government
under the leadership of Sir William Hearst, who put it upon • the
Statute books as a war measure first and later; aceording to his
P
ledge, submitted it 10 the people for their endorsation. The people
gave the measure their endorsataon but overwhelmingly defeated the
man who 'had :given them the advanced temperance legislation
which they -proved by their votes they wactesi Did the people turn
the Conservatives out in. 1919 because they couldn't;bo trusted to en-
force the ~act which they had framed? Hardly! Bartley Dewar;
whom nobedY will claimhas shown himself an
ardent friend
of
temperance, was leader of the Liberal 'Party at the time, so it
could not have been that the temperance Liberals thought hint
"safer" in that .respect: than Hearst. The; Farmers had no leader at
allnobody lrnew before, nor for some time atter the election, who
would be leader, so it could• not be that the Farmers voted .against
the Hearst Government because of the 'superior temperance senti--
ments of their party leader? Why, them' was the Hearst Govern-
ment turned out? There is no doubt at all that all the
"wet" element voted against it, Those opposed to prohibition' knew
the law was being and would the under the Conservative Governments,
strictly enforced' And; they, the "wets" were joined by the Liberals,
temperanee and, otherwise;cand the Farmers, temperance and other-
wise. They, the 'temperance people in the .Liberal campand the
U. • F.. 0. camp, did not seem to care so much who was going t0
look after the enforcement of the 0, T. A. so long as they over
threw the Conservatives, the party to whom they were endebted for
such advanced temperance legislation.
The'Conservatiles have given Ontario any temperance, legisla
tion it has ever had. During the leadership of Sir James Whitney
thirty-six different amendments were passed to the then -existing
liquor law, all tending to "tighten "an on the traffic and securea
better enforcement, The people learned during the life' of the Whitney
Government that laws were on the statute book to be enforced.
Before that the temperance people had been triffled with, their ex-
pressed will, twice recorded in ' referendums, had " been ignored.
Many thought Sir James did not promise much but it was soon dis-
covered that he was a man Who didnot make promises only to be
broken,; but whatever he undertook to do he did; what he promised
was performed.
The Conservatives have always' stood ` for. the enforcement of
law and so stand today. The Ontario. Temperance Act is on -the'
statute books, so long"as it stays thereit will :be enforcedeand the
leader of the Conservative Party has given assurance that it:will
only beremoved at the express will of the people.
The; Ontario Temperance Act should not have been an issue
in the present election and has only been dragged in in'the hope of
doing damage to the Conservative Party; the party that has done
more for temperance than any 'other in the history of the Province,
Sir John Willison Addresses Meeting in
Interests of Cons ervative Candidates
Sir John Willison is an old Huron
county boy and when he visits his nat-
ive county it fitting that he should
receive a warm" welcome. Iiis old
friends are always readyto give him
this warm welcome and on Tuesday
evening' the weather aided and a-
betted them in the laudable endeavor.
On rising to'speak lit the meeting '
in the town hall in the interest of
the Conservative candidates of Centre
and South Huron, Messrs. E. R. Wigle
and' N. W. Trewartha, on Tuesday ev-
ening Sir John recalled the time
he addressed a meeting' in Clinton an
June, 1918 when it was just as warm
or warner than it was Tuesday. This
distinguished son of Huron seemed to
thing that the faots conspired to
preveht -lint delivering anaddress in
Clinton and the people from getting.
out to hear him.
There' is no doubt at all that the ex-
treme heat prevented many from cone
ing out Tuesday evening, but in spite
of the humid weather a goodlynun.-
bee or the citizens of town and the
surrounding vicinity including repres-
entatives of all parties, foregathered,
Trot only to hear Sir John but also to
hear the'• Conservative candidates of
the ridings of Centre and South Httr-

and if elected he would endeavor to
have a plan evolved to that end. He
said many 'were in favorof flat rater
but was; not sure that that was then
solution. He thought the Provinces
should be divided:ineo zones and that.
those near the•centre of power should.
pay a somewhat higher rate so .that
those residing farther awaya might.
not have to pay so high .a one. He,
also spoke of the 0. T. A. He went
back' to Sir Oliver Mowat's and Sir
George Ross' time to show that while
temperance sentiment was strong
nothing was dorsotoward prohibition;
mitis the government of Sir James
Whitney came into power and that;
during his time thirty-six amend-
meats` were passed to the liquor laws
all restricting the trade; and that thee
present Act 'was put on the statute
books by Sir William Hearst and has,
since been endorsed by a referendum
of the people, The law was on the
books and would .i be rigidly enforced
if the Conservatives were returned ••t
power. Mr. Wigle said if, he were
elected as the representative of Cent-
re Huron would coo siser it his duty
to represent all -tire people and reserv-
ed the'rig'ht to support any logislatiore
which he thought for the good of the.
Province. He : thought something'.

Mr, Trewartlta said he was a farm-

thought it a mistake for the ferniers
to go info polities as, a elaee. He
said the history of the last ttsee and

went had been a costly.oxpedinent
He recalled the fact that when the
Hearst .Government's road -policy was
introduced, calling for one trunk Bale
across the Provineo involving an
expenditure.of, $10,000,000, that Mr.
Drury and Mr. Morrison, with others,.,
went to the Government to protest a•:
gains; the outlay. ' "That Was foul:'
years ago," said Mr. Trowarthe, what:
has happened since? .We now have
'three trunk lines across the province;
have spent $39,000,000 and have only
about thirteen' per Cent, of the propose
ed sehotno aonopleted.'
i Mr. Trewartha went on speak off'
the "Blue Water Highway" and said:
if this was Carz`ied through as pro-
posed every farmer along the route
