Re Town of Clinton' Local Op-
tion By-law.--W.;Prorulfoot, K,C.
and W. E. Raney,. K. C,, for A.. T.
Cooper moved for mandamus to
compel Junior Judge of 'Huron
to accept evidence to establish
that a certain box ai•u the bal-
lots therein had been tampered
with between the return of de-
puty returning officer and the
scrutiny, or a writ of prohibition
to the junior Judge to prohibit
him from signing certificate. G,

Graham. W. Brydone for town of
Clinton.
Application granted. Order for
writ of mandamus to Judge •to
hear -the evidence. Costs against.
Graham. No costs against muni-
cipelity. The Daily Star of gaturday last
adds a few remarks to the Court
case;- •
'According
to the temperance,
e
mpg c ,
people, a radical change was ef-
fected in the Clinton local option
vote between the returning offi-
cer's announcement and the time
the scrutiny of the ballots com-
menced before the Junior County
Judge of 'Huron.
When the town constable placed
the ballot boxes in a cell, and
locked ..the door, the result was
stated as follows :
For, 332.
Against, 214.
Carried,
a pp When the ballots were submitted
Get 1 °e:i eSI �® pans to the judge, the figures were
For, 316. •
Against, 227,.
.Besides
two ballots, with a cross
both for end against,
, Defeated on the Three-fifths.
Winlam Proudfoot, K. C.. and W
E. (Raney, K.C., to -day asked
Chief Justice Faleonbridge to direct
the county judge to take evidence
on the alleged tampering with the
ballot box or boxes. His Lordship
granted the application.
Mr. Proudfoot explained that the
lock guarding the "will of the
sovereign people" had been such
that a key in Mr. Proudfoot's pos-
sese:es .shad fitted.
"Frit "Is a suspicious circum-
stance," commented Sir Glen-
holme, and everybody smiled.
_9s a matter of fact,"' Mr. Proud -
foot added, "the lock 'was insecure,
and„ the ballots ,conld'.be'readily
got at," " .
The:Judge of Huron did not think
that he could take evidence in this
connection , on a scrutiny. Mr,
Proudfoot did not agree with him,
hence the motion before the Chief
Justice,
The latter mentioned the Sup-
reme Court judgment in the West
Lorne case,
Mr. Proudfoot remarked that
there had been a variety of judg-
ments in the West Lorrie case.
However, the present case/ was not
affected,
I In one subdivision, before the
county judge there were only 69

affidavit, that they had supported

Huron Old Boys'
Annual At Nome.
Illuminated Address Presnted To
Their First President, Sir
John Willison.
The 'thirteenth annual at-home
and re -union of the Huron Old
Boys' Association of Toronto last
'Friday night le the Temple Build-
ing, was ., one 01 the best , ttended
and most successful in the history
of the association. Following a
concert programme, contributed by
Miss Ettie Pug
s ey and . Messrs,
,
Ruthven McDonald and 4 ;Harry
Bennett, an address was p esented
to Sir John Willison, firstiPi•esident
of the 'association, and non one of
the honorary .presidents, on the
occasion ,of the honor of knight-
hood on hire b
1 confer v
recently ,
the King.
The presentation of the address
was preceded by addresses by
Mayor Hocken, who congratulated
the old , boys of Huron County on
the fact that between them they
had managed to secure and hold
down most of the best jots in the
city, and Mr. Fred Johnson, of the
Bruce Old Boys; who conveyed
fraternal greetings.
The event of the evening, (aside
from the dancing) was the present-
ation of a beautiful illuminated ad-
dress to Mr. J. S. Willison read by
Mr. Floody on the occasion of his
being Knighted by the King, a
copy of which is as follows ;-
Sir John Stephen Willison, Kt., L.L.
D., F.R.C.S.,
The Huron Old Boys" Association
of Toronto greets you, and extends
to you its hearty congratulations
on the significant distinction of
Knighthood which it has pleased
His Majesty King George V. to con
fer upon you. When we consider
your distinguished public services,
extending over many years, and
your pre-eminence in the realm of
literature, we feel that His Majesty
has !bestowed a well -merited title
on one who will worthily maintain
the best traditions of'tile,Order. It
is a matter of .great gratification' to
the members of our •Association to
recall that from the inception of
the organization you took a keen
interest in its progress, and we
were honored by having you as
our first President. You have idea
tried yourself continuously with
the activities of the Association,
and we feel areflected glory has
been cast upon ourselves and the
good old county of Huron, through
the distinction that has com
e to
you—the first of the native born to
—be so honored by our King. May•
you and Lady Willison long be
spared Ito enjoy the signal honor
you .have received "s
from Hi Majesty
Sir John, who was visibly affect-
ed, made a suitable, yet humorous
reply. He said that many people,
while congratulating him on the
honor, had doubted whether there
was such a place as 'Hills Green
(the place of his birth) and he was
surprised at the ignorance of a lot
of 'people who know nothing a-
bout the, Parr Line, the Bronson or
the Sauble, to say nothing of the
tamed St,Joseph. Fre uent
mp q ly
while living in Stanley he had gone
to church onSunday morning, and
gone swimming on the way home,
and as cleanliness was next to
•Godliness, this was alogical sequen
ee. He appreciated more than he
could tell them, the gift of the ad-
dress, and would ever remember
his pleasant associations with the
people of Huron.
Letters • of regret were 'received
from Major-General Otter and Mr.
,W, K. McNaught, • M.P., members
of theassociation, who were unable
to attend.

advisable to appoint a deputation
to wait upon the Government and
request
that
effect be
given toe said
d
vete byabolition the abol' '
on'of the public
bar, the treating system and drink-
ing in clubs, and the imposition of
such other restrictions Con the
liquor traffic as shall most, ef-
fectually curtail its operations 'and
remedy its evils."
Atits.last convention the Al-
liance adopted the following reso-
lution: (1) That 'the Alliance pol-
icy be reaffirmed to the abolition
of the bar -room and the treating
system and drinking in clubs and
will most effectively curtail its
strictions upon the liquor traffic as
system and drinking in clubs and
operations and remedy its evils. (2)
That a deputation be appointed to
las before the leader :of the
Government and the leader of the
.Opposition in the Legislature a re-
quest from the convention for the
introduction into the Legislature of
legislation embodying the Alliance
policy.
