that , during the Campaign he Mani-

Columbia, Manitoba and Alberta,
Mentioning the work they had per-
formed, besides the furnishing of
funds, and declared that they were
working in Saskatchewan and Ontar-

he said, owing to a disagreement a-
mongst the opponents of temperance
in Manitoba one of their number, in
'a public meeting, declared that tete
distillers furnished funds for the o-
perations of the Moderation League,
He said one brewer in Quebec said
he was willing to spend a quarter of

It was not an accident, said Dr.
Corin°, that Manitoba was the first
province in which the tear 'against
prohibition was brought on. It was
the most vulnerable of all. In the
late war the operations of the army
Ontario Street Ohurch were directed from headquarters and
the armies directed their forces furs„
at one point and then another and
after the smaller of the forces of the
enemy were subdued the full force
was directed upon the stain enemy

gainst prohijrition the last battle was
in Ontario, where the full force of
the organized liquor interests of the

tion of the use of lictaor as a bever-
age. It is a world

"Ontario is fighting the second bat-

was an ;organized.: attempt to re-es-

ue says that
the
prohibitory Iaws
cannotb e e
ifoiced _
The ° traditional Anglo-Saxon way is
to see that the law is enforced and.tu
deal summarily with the outlaw, de-
clared the speaker. When the agic
tation began against. the Manitoba
prohibitory' law, Dr. Connie said,
they heard on all hands that: the "Bar
must not come back." "Haveou
ever heard that," he enquired uir <y
q ed . 9 .But
he said the law had not been defear-
ed and the new law in force eleven
months until the same men who had
WorI{ed for its defeat were asking for
a modification of the -new 'law.
"You in Ontario," are worse off
than wewere'
ana '
Minto
tai
n one
way
for while we 'knew knew exactly what we
were voting on you do not know what
sort of a law will follow if the O.T.
A. is defeated. But it 15 bound to c
be something like the Manitoba law."
He said that in Manitoba they were
told that under Government Control
hone -brewing and bootlegging would
cease but just last week the largest
still ever found in the province was
taken just outside of Winnipeg, In
Quebec 428 stills were taken last year
and in Manitoba bootlegging is car-
ried on on a scale never knoWn'before.
The mayor of Winnipeg declared that
there was open violation of the law,
The Winnipeg Free Press, a reput-
able newspapers, declared that ''The
courts were clogged with liquor cas-
es and when appeals were delayed
the same people were frequently up
again and again for the same•offence,
before the appeals were heard."
Dr. Cormie said that they were told
as Ontario is being told today, that
taxes would be reduced if. Govern-
ment Control came it. Ile said the
new law went into effect in Septem-
ber of 1923 and this year the Govern-
ment put on a new income tax and the
taxes on houses in Winnipeg went id
eleven per cent.
"Drunkenness increases or dimin-
ishes according to the facilities for
obtaining drink," he declared; "If

"You cannot carry on the liquor -
business without a steady stream of
recruits," declared Dr, Cormie. "Ten
years ago you did not need to be told
that, you saw it demonstrated before
,your eyes. But you stayshave for-
gotten. You cannot have •the liquor
business re-established without pro-
viding this steady stream of recruits.
They might be your boys and girls '
or they night be your neighbors boys
and girls. Canada is looking to yon
in Ontario to,hold the line; you must
win in Ontario."
