Enthusiastic Meeting of 1'dur- on Temperence Workers.

It was admitted by all that this was the best convention over field in Hur- on county, the spirit and temper of tho men assembled auger well for the futureofthe county, The )noruing session was given over to the minutes of last year's convention, the pres- ident's s- ident's annual address and field sec- retary's report. The afterneon session was given to the general business of the convention. From the report of the field secre- tary • which was a lengthy :one we print the following "To give ar summary of the work aetualiy accomplished would be a dif- ficult task, some of i1: cannot be told.

We believe the time has come, when a' central organization in suet places as Auburn, Dungannon, and Belgrave will do better work thaut an organization that recognizes the township unit provided that every sub -division be looked atter. The convention adopted unanimous- ly the following resolution re law eat forcemeat until such times as the Government deems opportune for the abolitionof the local inspector's of- fice. We place ourselves on record as being• in favor of one inspector for Huron at an adequate salerp in Place of three inspectors as at, present. '19to following is the attitude 'of the con- vention on political action. 1. That this Convention reaffirms as its platform the objecb for which the Dominion Alliance stands, name- ly, "The total supression of the traffic in intoxicating . beverages," and de- clares it to be the dubp of the On- tario Legislature to enact legislation prohibiting the ligtioa traffic as far as is within the power of a Provincial Legislative Assembly, 2. That this Convention calls upon all friends of the temperance cause to rise above party preference and alfil- ation in earnest effort, on every op` portunity to secure the nomination and elriobion to the Legislative Assem- bly of men who will support the most progressive temperance legislation pro- posed, regardless of party considera- tion, and that this can only be attain- ed by loyally standing by oanclidates who are known, avowed and trust- worthy supporters of the Alliance po- licy. 3. ,That for the attainment of this object, we can upon temperance elec- tors throughout; the Province to take more active part in the organisation and management of their respective political parties, and to Insist upon the nomination and support of candi- dates who will stand for principles and proposals liereiubefore set out. 4. In order to secure the staking of temperance the supreme issue of poli- tics, the, Executive Committee be in- structed to prepare concise and defin- ite instructions for the guidance of electors, so as to enable them. to tape early and effective, action to ensure the placing of good men in the field as candidates at every bye -election and ,general election, Provincial and Dominion, supplying them with the lowing be recommended as directions Alliance and giving them all possible advice and practical assistance. 5, That in this connection the fol - comprehensive and important infor- mation that ]las been compiled by the for the Provincial Executive. (a) That thorough organization he effected as soon its possible in every electoral division in the province ex- tending to the polling sub -divisions to Corry into definil•eaction the policy founulatcd in the previous elation and that conventions be called regularly. for this purpose. (b) That qualified organizers be employed to do this work, (0) That each county organization bc.recommended to accept the Allibnes declaration on political action as its own platform. (3) That where practiceable and de- sirable., a delegation from the county organization 'wait upon Mita 0r nominat- ing in, c tcnbionS and ask them to act 1 in accordance with the Alliance plat- form ; rinse ensuring the raising of the question in llie nominating con- ventions (5) That where only one suitable candidate (as defined in clause 2.) is nominated after such proceedings the county organization shall promote his Candidature and if no such candidate is nominated by either: party the county organization shall, if practic- able, place a candidate of ruts own in the field. -• The olftcen for the ensuing year are President, A.
