SIR GEORGE E. FOSTER IN CLINTON Addresses Large Crowd in Town Hall, Monday Night --Eloquently Discusses Work of Government. The town hall proved itself much too small to accommodate the num- ber who wished to hear the Hon. Sir George Foster, who addressed the eleetors on Monday evening in sup- port of the .Government candidate for South Huron, the seating capac- ity being taken up by half past seven. The park seats were carried up from the council chamber and a couple of hundred stood during the whole evening. The chair was taken by Mr. C. G. Middleton, who introduced the speakers, M. ,I J. Merrier, the can- didate, and .Sir George. Mr. -Werner was well received and spelce briefly, giving a short sum- .mary of the work of the Govern - men. He said it was easy for, his opponents to talk, they had nothing to do but criticise, and that was al.. ways easy, but that he found they did net offer:,.any constructive crit isni, "If I have al man working for rite," said, Mr. Merner, "and I conte along after ha hhs,'Snished a piece of work oris -engaged hi it and filed all stets of fault with the manner in which it is being done he would naturally expect me to -offer some suggestion as to impt'oyement. So WO should . expect the opponents of the Government to be able to' offer some suggestions as to improve- ment, but they 'have not done so," .Ile said one of the charges brought against the Government was extrav- agance but he .pointed out that dur- ing the fifteen years of Liberal rale the national debt had been increased very largely and that during the two years- before tate war the Bor- den Government had reduced that debt by several million dollars. Then' the war carte and of course the debt increased. He said lie did not think the Canadian people regretted the part Canada had played in the car, nor would they hesitate to pay for it. He &id Mr. Meighen was the ablest man in Canadian public life today and the one man best fit- ted to carry on a government suit - A BAD FALL. Mr. Carere of the fruit store fell on the icy pavement on- Thursday Iast and injured his leg so severely that he has been laid up ever since. A number of people took tumbles, indeed, it was exceedingly difficult to remain on one's feet until the ice melted during the afternoon, but rile. Carere's accident was the most serious, we've heard of. NEXT ONE IS MUSICAL.

WAS NATIVE OF STANLEY, John Turner, who died at his home in Seaforth last week, was a native of Stanley• township, having been Nen in that township in March of 1849. He was a son of the late John Turner, In 1898 Mr. Turner re- moved to Seaforth and had since re- sided there. He was fond of outdoor sports and was expert with both *011 and rod, In religion ho was a Presbyterian and in politics a Con. servative. He had taken a keen in- terest in municipal affairs and had served on the totem council for sev- eral terms. He is survived by 1115 wife, who was formerly Miss Marion McMichael, and one daughter, Miss Jeara. The late Mr. Turner was a cousin of Mr. John Turner of the Hume road, west. Constance able to Canada's needs, 1=Te said that Mir, 'Sing, the Liberal leader, made - .a great .deal of noise about Mr, Meighen not having a mandate from the peoiile to carry on the govern, nlent. "I think it ill becomes Mr., -I{ing to. raise such a question," re- nuiked Mr.,.- Meaner, "Mr. Ring tun's a candidate in two zidinge and was defeated in both and was finally giyen an acclamation,. or I doubt it he would have a seat in 'the House at all,",concluded Mr, Merner, He then went on to explain how Mr. Meighen was the unanimous chv]ee Of his party as leader when Sir Kobelt Borden was obliged, owing to failing health, to resign, and that he had always had the support of..a majority in the IIouse. Sir 'George Foster was introduced by the chairman as being a man who had been inn public life in Canada for forty years but on rising Sm George gave ample proof that his energies had not yet failed. He first dealt with the Farmer's, or as it is better known in the west, the .Pro- gressive Panty. .i•Ie wanted to know what the grievance of the farmers was. He told of the huge amount of money expended by the Borden and Meighen Governments on ag- riculture, about four times as much in ton years as the Liberal Govern. meat had expended in the fifteen years of their period in power, anal called attention to their exemption from business tax, which every oth- cr business ratan must pay. "There is no class in this country that is going to be allowed to make a class platform and capture Canada and control its affairs in the sole inter- ests of that class," declared Sir George, "It ought not , to be done and it will not be clone." The speak- er also noted the origin 'of the far- mer•s' movement. He said it was started in the west, where farnins were wheat growers and ranchers, and that the farmers here•were tak- en with the name anal many of them had not looked into the working out of the policy. He pointed out that the farmer needed the worker, and the worker needed the farmer. That the work of both were needed to build up this country, and that the industrial workers were the Canadian farmer's best market. He said Mr. Crez'ar declared the protective tar- iff .syrong and immoral but, that it returned to power he would not in- troduee it overnight but he could not see how that would eemedy matters. "If 1 have to drink the hemlock I think I would prefer taking at at once, rather than wait until the 'morning," he said. IIe said Canada not only had to protect itself against the large manufacturing plants of the United States but against those of the Continent of Europe, where, products could • be manufactured very much cheaper than in Canada. He said he was talking the other day to a man who had just come from Germany who told 'him he could live in Berlin on an American half dollar a day, "living at the best motel and going to the theatre in the evening." He poatted out that pro- ectioz was not meant for the cap•• talist but to stimulate trade, and tasted that it was the farmers, n the United States who had asked oe. protection. 1Io spoke of the re- iprocfty pact, pointing out that it vas. not a treaty but that at any ime the United States could bavct eliminated its provisions, jd'st as amide had adjusted itself to them. o said that never in the history of anada had the people given so de- i5ive an-LtllSwer as in the election 0..f 911 end to introduce practically the same thing now, except for the act. •that time United States had in he meantime raised its tariff., was ice the twelfth men 011 a jury •in- isting that the other eleven were 11 wrong and he was the only one ossessing any sense, Sir George mid' t a o ht of fun i.0 ,ort C f" 0f the Liberal Party for their yh - Yshy- ness 1n confessing to then platform, ade in solemn assembly at Ottawa t 10111.
