IHE LAST MEETINGS.
On Thursday evening' last Col. Wr_
IL Price, attorney -general in the Fer-
guson -Government, _addressed a Bath
ening, which filled • the town hall, in
the interests
rater sts of Mr, A. H. Neeb. Col.
Price dealt with the finances of the
province and what he called amend-
ments to the 0. T. A. He called at-
tentio
n to the large ge deficit, tett by
the Drury Government the expencir-
tures running about fifteen milli rrs
ahead of, the revenues each year, and
said the first work of the new govern-
ment, Was
overn.-ment,ivas to advance reyonues, then
,to' try to ciut expenditures.
He said. this was done
until , the ;budget has been ..prac-
tically balancedand...a pion had been
begun which would pay off the pro-
vincial debt in a period of forty years.
-He stressed the importance of having.
a•busine s administration in
§ power in
the provine. Ig speaking of the 0.
T. A. he event back to the time of the
'Roman Empire to Roint out the evils
of intemperance and said that was
the cause of the fall of the _Empire.
Coming "doWn. to niodernetimes' he
said manyi''methods `.were Ltried to con -
trot the evils of the liquor traffic and
whenone thing failed another was
tried: He thought the 0. T. A. had
failed and it was time for something
else. 'He called attention to the fact
that .the Federal -Goveirtment con-
trelied the manufacture, of all liquors
and also their exportation and the
giving of home-brew permits: This
hesaidwas .largely th2•'reason why
the O. T. A. had •failed He thought
the system proposed by Preniier Fer-
guson would do away with illegal sale
and. the bootlegger. He said do. liquor
stores would be placed where the
peopledid not want them, -that local
option areas would be respeeted. Also
that anyone abusinghis'permit' would
.
have it taken from him. "Don't you
think," he aslted, "that 112 legislators
can frame an' act. which will be . ac-
ceptable to everybody in the Pro.
wince?".
Mr Neeb was, the first speaker and
}4"e dFelared that he wished . to go.
through the campaign so that no
matter which , way the election went
he mould look everyone in the face af-
terwarde, He thought while the 0. -.
'T. A. had accomplished a- great deal
of good it was now time to reach out
after something better. He believed
the proposed system of Government
Control would doaway with a' lot of
bootlegging. le conclusion he asked
hlre;twtere,to :wergl :the matter .edee
fully. and then vote as they thought
best -for the country.
Mr. N. W. • Tretvartha acted 'as
chairman. A.t the evening : of. the
meeting a number of little • girls
sang "0 Canada."
• On Monday evening a meeting in
the interest of Mr. -W. G.. Medd was
held, at which the candidate,and Hon.
E, C. Drury, former prehtier of On-
tario, were the speakers. .The 'chair
was taken by Mr, W.' McEwan.
Mr. Medd teas first called upon.,lie
dealt principally with thetemperanceIssue, saying that it was the most.im-
portant one before- the electors, He
said lie was representing not only
Progressives -but Liberals and eon-
,seevatives.•rin this election, as ntarty
of the latter were giving hint.active
support. He believed the 0. T. A.
'was the best -legislation put forward
sa far for the control of Rome-, and
promised it his support if elected.
Mr. -.Drury's, voice was in rather
bad shape as he had a cold, .but, he
said- he had caught it in a good
cause• He also confined himself.
prettyemuch to 'the temperance issue,
which he said should not have been in-
jeeted into polities He declared.:the
pokey was'Ferguson's, and 'the:tithe
Conservative Party yas`not behind it,

ler before the election in 1923 that the

deceived many; of his supporters. He
had then. had 'a taw passed allowing
him to 'submit, a'plebesite, which: sus-

Few will be surprised at this, al-
though •great efforts" were made, to
turn the scale, a
The Ferguson Governs ent t
4"Z} t , except
to extreme partisans whom we' would
not expect LO admit it, has given 'very
good ,satisfaction during the past
term. It 'has handled the affairs of
the Province with'businesslike abil-
ity and on its Merits deserved to re-
turn
to power. r.
p , e On the• tether hand
neither Liberals or Progressives were
strong'enough to be expected to form
'a good administration and carry on
with.'the.same .gbility as has been -dis-
played by the Conservati•'ves.
The only weak `spot, isi"the Fer
son policy was its wet plat't' But fpr,
that its' majority would"- have 'been
larger. Many friends of;tle Govern-
ment who would gladly have support-
ed it could not bring themselves to
vote for a measure which. looked like
opening the --doors 'again to the evils
of easily -obtained liquoi. A}til, de-
spite the arguments of the support-
ers of Government •Control, many' oth-
erwise staunch supperierseef the Con-
seryative Party cast their vote
against it.
AsW a proof of this we Tuve only to
look at the result,,,in Hiroo county:
In the last Provincial election Huron
returned three Conservatives by larg,
majorities. Yesterday .a ;Progressive
and a Liberal were returned by sub-
stantial -
stantial majorities: Withoijt. the quer-
tion of Goverment Control there is
hardly a doubt but that Conservative
candidates would have been elected.
Take the ease of C1innon. 'In the
last' election the Conservative had a
majority of 228 with three in the
field.' Yesterday_ the Progressive had
a majority of 84. This in epite of the
fact that many Liberate' expressed
their intention of ,supperting, -and
probably did support, the.L"overnment
Control .:candidate. This; situation
was no doubt repeated in,tnore than
onefinstanee,'but the cities and larger
centres carried the day. sk •-

that if the Goveenment was defeated

the fate of the`' 0. T. A. in the
