ROUSINGCONVENTION IN WING
HAM,- FARMER CANDIDATE FS
NAMED 'TO CONTEST SAT , IN
'PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT.
WINGHAM; July 25, -Jolty W. King,
a farmer, of Bluevale, received bite
• unanimous support of the North Huron
liberals as a candidate for the Provin-
sial. House at the convention held here
Seven, manes were handed in to the
secretary, Five of,them withdrew, leav-
ing the field to Joliet W. King• and F•
Fraser, A ballot was taken; and 11' 1r.
a King, having the majority of the d'ele-
. gates' votes,.. was declared the condi-
;
date, and on motion of J, N, McKenzie
, and W. H. -Fraser,. the convention un-
"
enimously indorsed Mr, King,
The following mese ' whose names
, were proposed, refused, to allow them
to be ,placed before the convention:
Abner Cosens, Wingheni; J, N. Mc-
Keo4e ,Ashfiield ,J, G..Andere,pn, Luck-
., now•; William, Bailie, Dungannoni and
John Parrish,' Ashfield,-
• Many Women Present • '
•'The'Convention, over whiclt Sheldon
Bricker•', presided,. was a remarkable
one. Fully half of the 139 delegates
present were women and they envinced
an intelligent interest in the proceed-
ings, Nearly half of the remaining
350 voters, iu the hall were women
from the various parts of the riding,
That the women of this electoral dis-
trict are going to make good use of
the ballot is the, only inference which
can be drawn.
• Opening the meeting, President
Bricker, paid a tribute to the ladies
present, thanking them for the interest
they manifested, and predicted that
they would play a great part in shap-
ing the future destiny of Ontario,
"There never was a time in the his-
tory of I•Iuron when we were in need
of as strong a man as at the present
time," said he, referring to the busi-
ness for which the meeting had been
ealted, "The riding has been thrown
open in an underhanded manner, and
while i do not approve of wartime elec-
tions, under the circumstances 1'thlnk
we are Justified in contesting the seat,"
The originators of the motions placing
the names of the proposed candidates
before the meeting were then allowed
a few minutes to introduce the urian of
then choice to the meeting.
Worthy of Any Honors
.Tnhn W. King was introduced as a
man well known in the district and
nue who could be worthy of any hon-
ors that could he given him. Mr, King
in a short address took occasion to ex-
press dissatisfaction with the crowd at
' 'l'nronto, and even Mr, Proudfont did
not measure no to his expectations.
Touching en the war, he intimated that
all candidates are out to win it, and
that is the first consideration of every
true Canadian.
Abner Cosens, a businessman of
Wingham, said that it was impossible
I far him to accept the noininatinn at
present for personal reasons, and he
also thought that the candidate should
he a farmer, During this contest our
• opponents with uplifted hands, he said,
will cry that the Grits have caused
unnecessary expense by bringing on
this election, They will forget the
amount •of public funds expended on
the mansion in fhe. ravine at Toronto,
which was more than the combined
assessed value of Wingham and Luck-
noiv, One first-class farm is burned in
its furnace every year to keep the
inmates comfortable. We will be
blamed for introducing Dominion poli-
tics tato this election, but this also
due to the Tory tactics in appointing
the former member of the postoffice
department:
Must Not say too Much
"One must not say too much about
the .Government at Ottawa, or he twill
be tined, and out of respect for the
dead I will not further express my
opinion of the: Toronto, bunch.. Talk-
ing.
alking, about the kaiser,' who is always a
safe subject° of conversation, it is re-
nia'rkable hely Much; the Germans stand
.fr,9nn him, When he wants `a million
or,to refre' ine>S;11e orders thein up,
and thiIf is'all that there is to it, He
11'•siirrounded by a lot of Junkers, and
it is .rnntored that he has an interest
in the :munition factories of Germany.
The press and the pulpit are forced to
support him by some means 'or other,
Do not forget I ann referring tothe
Weer, and Germany in . my address.
He makes all sorts of promises, hilt
when the 'military contingency arises?

With all the howls of the Government
supporters about justice to the re-
turned soldiers, he thought all the

trees are still being handed out to

Why Not a Returned Mian?
"Why was not a returned soldier
given the position in the postoffice
instead of our friend, A, H. Mus -
grovel" he asked. "There are lots
of men who would handle it as well
as the present incumbent."

NOISE WORST FEATURE
Premier Martin, of Saskatchewan, Vis-

The appalling roar of the big guns
and bursting shells is described as
one e,1 the worst features of the war
by tion. Vie Si.:Martin, premier or
Saskatchewan, seho is visiting his par-
ents: the Rev, W. Martin and Mrs.
Martin, of Itidout street, London, on
Itis return from the Canadian camps
in England and France.
"With the artillery barrage between
us and the enemy we were compara-
tively free from danger, but the noise
was appalling," be said. "This to me
would be one of the most trying fea-
tures."
While on his official visit Premier
Martin met Lloyd George, King
George and high officials of state.
He was in London on July 4 and wit-
nessed the celebration there of Amer-

must rely upon the "Soldiar of - the
Soil.” the city men in nonessential
ndustries and the farmerettes, if the
crops are to be harvested. It 1s
said on authority that a i 6 -year-old
boy on a Western farm can produce
as much as a 200 pound man, fe
farming in the West is done by mach -
leery.
Mr. McMahon tells how Canada
brought tractors fur the West, and,
gives credit to the Canada Food Board
for this action that has resulted in
greatly increasing the acreageunder
crop in the West, and has stimulated
realer production ut tn in every
prnvmce
in the Dominion. Besides Canada
Inas a great growing season, about •t
month shorter than that of the United
Status, she must do six months' work
in five (00011ns and requires machin-
ery to speed up.
Leads The World
From the standpoint of value every
dollar gold alined in 'Canada is over-
matched with 412 of wheat grown in
the soil. Canada has less then one -
twelfth of the population of the.
United States, but she produces one-
third as much wheat as the United
States, and leads the world in the
amount of food grown to the unit of
, population, in this respect Canada
s followed in order by Argentina,
sited States, Austrailia, Germany,
ustria-l•Iungairy, France and Russia.
But Canada in t9t7 produced 29,-
00,000 bushels less wheat than site
id in 1916, and in 1918 every energy
as been bent to make up tint de-
ciency and produce a crop that will
pproximate to the crop of 1915,
amely, 390,000,000 bushels. How
uccessful she will be in her great
roduction campaign no one can tell,
