This is testimony to the utility of newspaper advertising which can- not be. inmpeached. Nor is it from any apprentice institution, for it. is in announcement of to 70th an- niversary sale. No doubt wise ad- vertising has h,adi much to do in making this Watkins houeo one that can make use of nine pages.

All the changes from "wet" to "dry" indicated in the foregoing table were won by the polling of a fifty per cent majority in favor of prohibition in each municipal ity. Under the Ontario Law a muni- cipality cannot carry prohibition unless the vote for prohibition is fifty per cent more than the vote against. Dur ing the seven years in question, the temperance" party had majorities less than the necessary fifty per cent iri 235 contests. During these seven years from 1907 to 1013 inclusive, the total number of contests was 555. The liquor party had majorities in 147 cases. and the temper ance party had majorities in 38S. The L'quor Side. Thera were also some contests ( brongbt on by the liquor party in dry. territory with the hope of turning it over to web This movement was a sad failure. The following table shows the number of places in which the liquor party might have brought on repeal contests in each of the last five years the number or places in which they actually clic( succeed in bringing on re• peal contests, and the number of cases in which they won in the contests they brought on: - Year Dry Places Dry Places Dry conlci have diel vote places voted voted wet 1010 07 20 2 1010 111 12 2 1011 181 3 0 1012 17S 15 0 1013 240 23 1 And still the cause moves steadily on- ward. 11 cannot he long before the liquor trails: is wiped our of the Pro viuce of Ontario altogether.
