Manifesto.
From the Executive of the Huron
County Branch of the Dominion
Alliance,
9s Clinton, June 11), 19.1.1
v' i
On'' the eve of a,Pro ane al elect-
ion, we would earnestly, urge, the
Temperance electors 9f all parties
to consider impartially the great
issue now before the people.
For many years the 'Temperance
people of the Province, irrespect-
ive of party, have United in urg-
ing
urg-i g upon the various governments
in power; the enectmenlq' 'of some
law that Would Make the public
bar a thing of the pae'i, and that
Should mosteffectually control the
operations lot the * Liquor Traffic,
anci remedy its evils, Thia policy
is now tiresented to the electiors,
and upon it we are to pronounce
our verdict.
Our County of Huron, ,on the
29th of January last spoke with'
no equivocal voiiie en the queetion.
As a result we diall have, ink a few
weeks, a barless county. The quest-
ion now is, shall; this •im.muinity
from the open bar,which we enjoy,
be• extended to the whole Province.
In our' recent campairgr, several
Local Option Mnnicipalties joined
in the C.1 . A.,+ campaign for the
county's sake. Can we not ` with
equal generosity unite with, others
in an effort to. Abolish the bar
throughout Ontario?
We would remind you that the
seajeral candidates seeking your
votes on the 29t0a of June, have
had ample opportunity to declare
their (attilttde towards j this
policy, as definite questions bear-
ingthis subject,
on have been
submitted to each, Is it too much
to ask the ijemperance• elector of
Huron County to support only
such candidate as has pledged him-
self to support the most advanced
Temperance legislation? -
We have already shown 'by our
votes that we are Ioverwelmingly
opposed to the open bar. Shall we
.now dispose of the olck jibe that
temperance men, are NEVER TEM-
PERANCE VOTERS AT A POLITI-
CAL ELECTION.
This 0.m.y mean a breaking of old
party ties, and it is no easy ma-
ter, even temporally to 'disassoc-
iate ourselves from the political
aftl,ati,o.ns of years; but if we are
to redeem our oft repeated word,
we ,must now stand loyally by
those who are prepared to give ef-
fect toh
t e principles for which we
have so long contended.
The issue is very clear. This is
our day of opportunity ; itis also
our
day of( !responsibility. The
Temperance party of Huron County
and 'of Ontario, is on its trial.
We can have what we want! If the
open bar remains to imperil every
home it will be because our in-
difference, or our mistaken, party
loyalty, •`o•yves it a fresh lease of
life. Wehave often prayed for the
destruction- of tie hquor traffic:
on the 29th, of June, let us vote as
we pray.
Signed on behalf of the Executive
Committee,
• A. T. COOPER, President
J. A, IRWIN, Secretary.
