Ianifesto To the Electorsof the Province of Ontario.- The Executive. )ommittee of the Ontario ,Manch "of the Dominion Alli- ance desires, at this critical juncture to place 'before you frankly and fairly' the present position of the temperance question in relation to the approach- ing General Election The principle of prohibition as a rem edy for the evils of the liquor traffic has three times been affirmed by large! u im:ities in this Province, Municipal prohibition has served a very distinct and useful place in the .evolution of the reform, so that 63 per cent. of the municipalities are now underloral' pro - Whitton. One hundred and thirteeu other municipalities, moat of them incorporated cities, teens and villages have given majorities in favor of pro. htbition.' Mit have failed • to register the necessary 60 per cent vote. The steady educational work of the Churches, the discussion and presents- tion of facte in connection- with local option campaigns, and the awakening. of the industrial, commercial, and scientific weld to the econen>.ic waste and physical destructiveness of the liquor; traffic and the drink habit have' created a body of public sentiment whim calls for a distinct advance in the matter of legislation. The unanimous vote of many large non-partisan conventions and Church courts has called upon the Le fslatare P g to lessen these cruel evils byat least wiping out the barroom. thdrinking I club, and the whole treating system. In accordance with this sound and patriotic policy we urge upon the friends of our cause the duty of doing their utmost to secure the nomination and election of men who will fairly represent the peo- ple upon this supreme issue. We urge all right thinking citi- zens to put their temperance prin- cipals before any mere party preferences in the approaching contest, and vote only tor candi- dates who can be relied upon to support the most advanced meas- ure brought before the Legisla- ure, If, as we believe, this question is the most important before the electors of the Province, a question that has long pressed for solution, if it is true that wise and enlightened leaders in all departments of commercial. industrial and national life are becoming increas- ingly anxious to destroy the : great destroyer, we feel justified in asking all who love their country and care for the highest interest of their fellowmen to rise, if necessary, above party preference and affiliations, and insist that their representatives shalt be untrammelled in their relation to this issue. Ministers and members of the Chris• tion churches! The people of this Pro- vince have read and approved of the resolutions adopted from time to time by great ecclesiastical gatherings, and they look to you for Leadership in this great canapnign, Electors of the Province! You have in vour own hand the remedy for the conditions you deplore. This is a fight in which an alliance of the Christian churches of our land can defeat the sordid and solidly united feces that support the liquor traffic. Will you act as independently fon the fight as the liquor interests dofor their own selfish ends? If you do, the next Legislature will ABOLISH THE BARROOM Signed on behalf of the Executive Canon R.

When I accepted the nom- ination at the Lands of my fellow Liberals, to contest South Huron in their interests, I pledged my- self to support the temperance policy of our leader, and which policy is ;almost identical with the one quoted inyour letter, as be- ing the policy of the temperance party. I: publicly pledged myself to the./ :perance committee on the el .of oui�convereti,on at Hens..., knowing before hand that I would lose the support of many anti -temperance Liberals, especial- ly in Imy home municipality. I also reserved the right to support more advanced temperance legisla- tion if brought forward, by the Conservatives, or any other party and I do not think any of my temperance Liberal friends have found any fault for any doing 'so.
