CHESNEY, Clerk Township of Tackersmith, R.R. 4, Seaforth 7-8-9-b To The Electors Of Huron: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: In 'view of the approaching by-eleetion in this electoral district, the Temperance Federation deems it to be its duty to address you with reference to the temperance situation in the lirovince, and in this county in partieular. First, we wish emphatically to disclaim any al - Home with or intention to promote the interests of either political party. In this county the temperance forces have no reason to look with favor upon either party. Oar cause has suffered greatly at the hands of both. We do not forget that in defiance of Iaw, the Liberal Government of Mr. Hepburn established beer par- lors in this county and continued to operate them even after the Supreme Court of Canada had decided that the Canada Temperance Aet was in force in Huron, and the Supreme Court of Ontario had de- clared it to be valid law. When Mr. Drew's govern- ment came to power it was appealed to, to right this wrong, but declined to do so, choosing to con- tinue' the illegal practice of its predecessor. i At the last session of the legislature, the pre- sent government had a law enacted that deprives this county of the protection of certain restrictive :motions of the Ontario liquor laws—a condition that a rad prevailed for many years. This act we regard as one calculated to • make the enforcement of the Canada Temperance Act more difficult and that will undoubtedly tend to produce lawlessness, drunk- enness and disorder. We regard it as a deliberate attempt to weaken and discredit the Canada Tem- perance Aet—a law deelared by the .highest court in the British 4 ossmoaweallk sad 1a/18ri r coati Lw, sawed to 1 O>_b !!fid' IF We dee people, and a law that by' promoting sobriety has been of great benefit to the people. ' The Federation is gratified that the two tam didatee at this election, Mr. Thos. Pryde, Progressive Conservative, and Mr. Benson W. Tuckey, Liberal, are both moa of estimable, ammeter. In casting their ballots, however, voters must consider not only the personal character of the candidates, but also the record of the Government. The Federation submitted to' each of the Wadi. dates the following questions: (1) If elected, will yon in the Legielatard insist on effective enforeement of all liquor laws through• out the province, and especially in Huron Countyt (2) In the interests of sobriety, law and order, and effective enforcement, will you in the Legislature support legislation repealing Section 3 of Bill 151 passeed at the session in 1947, and which renders provineial liquor laws inoperative in territory undee the Canada Temperance Act? Mr. Pryde answered the first question in the affirmative and with referenee'to the second stated that personally he sympathized with the Federation% position, and that in caucus he would do his beet to persuade hie fellow members to adopt that view. He Telt, however, that in the Rouse he would have to vote with his party. Mr. Turkey answered both the questions in the affirmative without reservation. ' In a democracy governments are required to ettli- mit thbir record to the verdict of he people, Eleen tions are held to give the people an opportunity of expressing approval of disapproval of the Govern- ment's conduct in office. A vote for a Government candidate is an endorsation of the Government's acts. A. vote for an opposition candidate is a con- s, damnation of the government's acts. We believe that we have placed the issue fakir before you. It is our opinion that it is the duty of all good citizens to place great moral and social b. sues above persona/ or party considerations. No more important issue Than this is before you. We ask you to give ityour most careful consideration. Go •t0 the polls on February 16th' and cast your ballot as your intelligence and conscience dictate. The Huron County Temperance Federation J: HOWARD CAMRBFT.T; President NORVAL T.:ANDIBSO3h Seerotbry
