other municipalities, most of them

have given majorities in favor of pro-

the necessary 60 per cent vote.
The steady educational work of the
Churches, the discussion and.presenta
Mob of facts in connection with local
option campeigus, and the awakening
of the industrial, commercial, and
scientific world to the economic waste
and' physical destructiveness of the
liquor traffic babit t rime and the drink ha ut have•
created a body of public sentiment
whim calls for a distinct advance in
the matter of legislation.
The unanimous vote of many large
nou-partisan conventions and Church
courts has called upon the Legislatnve
to lessen these cruel evils by at least
wiping out the barroom. the drinking
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 upou 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 for 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
ise 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 shall he
untrammelied in their relation to this
issue.
Ministers and members of the Chris-
tian 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 campaign.
:Electors of the Province! You have
in your 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 foiees that
support the liquor traffic,
Will you act as independently for,
the fight
as
t the liquor interests do for
f; q
their own selfish ends? 11 you do, the
next Legislature will

to hand and contents learefullY
noted. When I accepted the nom-
ination at the hands of my fellow
Liberals, to contest South 'Huron
in then interests, I pledged' my-
self to support the temperance
policy of our leader, and which
policy es ;almost identical with the
one quoted in your letter, as be-
ing the policy of the temperance
party. I publicly pledged (myself
to the temperance committee on
the day of ouit'convdntion cit
Hensali, knowing before hand that
I would dose 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 of brought forward, by the.
Conservatives, or any other party
and I do not Shank any of my
temperance Liberal friends have
found any fault for any doilnge'so.
You have probably read say reply
to the editor of tete News -Record

weekly newspapers (this week!,
and from whiirli you well be able
to judge whether my 'stand on this
