Not that the 'subject ie. 'exhaust- ed, but I have fulfilled my ;peomise to Huron voters to procure for 'them the very .last word of authentic informa- tion, and New York •was the place to get it. I found there that the liquor inter- ests with their Otiltions have the same strangle 'hold on politics as they have here in ,Ontario. Mare than half the wealth of fUnited States is in the hands of some sixty-six individuals, many of these are liquor magnates. This ,condition leaves millions of the tank and ,file in a state of ifirrancial in- security, which 'borders on hopeless abandonment of respectability. Then of course "Drink .drives dubl cares away." .And thus you have the vicious circle: Drink .causing poverty, and porerty with its 'insecurity end sense of inferiority Circling rounel to mare drink. Thousands of the inzpoo a year at Bellevue are brought there through their sense of 'financial insecurity and physical inferiority. Marty are discour- aged by being too old to work, or handicapped by the ,loss of an eye or an arm and some with no 'legs at all. But here in °Mario, liquor is eot supposed to be any longer in politics. When Mr. Henry staked 'his chances on the 'beverage rooms, didn't Mr. Hepburn come to 'the rescue of his party by .acquieseirtg and staking his chancee also on the beverage rooms? And aidn't that take the liquor ,prdb- lem 'clean out of 'politics? 'Now that's a eample of the arguments politicians put up to us and expect us to mallow and enjoy. Will you allow just here a little pedagogical digression. It's hard- ly worth. while en.entioning except for the fact that it's funny. VVheri we studied Crammer at school we were taught that te-a nega- tires make an affirmative. If 'Johnny says ''I 'don't want no supper," he is really though unintentionally saying that he wants some supper—two 'nega- tires making an affirmative,' But have you ever heard of two affirmatives making a negative? How about this idea: Mi. Henry says, "Yes, we have the beverage room plank in our plat- iorm." Mr. Hepburn says, "Yes, we have bhe beverage room 'plank in our platform," and presto: There is no longer a beverage room plank in either platform. Two affinmatives clearly making, a negative. That would be a fine example to put in A Grammar Text Book for the New School Cur riculum should the pupils not go on, strike 'when !Grammar is taught. as they have been doing in some 'places where Arithmetic still th.olds an old fashioned 'place. But to revert to our subject: There really was a time when liquor was in politics 'in !Ontario When the Tories used to ;quote Hearst and blame the 'Grits, and the the .Grits used to quote 'Rowell and ,blaine the Tories. There was a time when the sensible woman's vote was supposed to be a dry vote. There was a time when the moral strain and stress of war, and economic arguments usher- ed in a prohibitory law. Thenieearte a time when an honest plowman rPrent, ier and his henchman, 'Rev. Dr. Cody, with radio and every other means of propaganda fell for the wiles of the li- quor traffic and ushered in the bever- age rooms. Mr. Hepburn with equal sagacity, and acquiescing mind, took the "dirty Incas" as he calledit, clean out of polities. gust 'how anxious he was to take the ."elirty mess" out of politics is seen hi his attitude towards a referendum, There is lately however one hopeful sign. Parliamentarians themselves are 'beginning. to 'talk "Connuption in ,Pol- itics" and probable legislation against h. "Corruption" is a bad word and euggeets a !boil on the back 01 the neck, so likely something will be done about h for boils 'do spread. One poison however does some- times counteract another end that may he the reason these same fellows who voted bevera,ge saloons new vote sweepstakes, as expected. Beverage rooms will remain so long as we send to Parliament the type of candidate who will vote for them, and f will not close this article witham one constructive statement, arid it is this; The 'only way, or at least the proper way to .bring pressure to bear THURSDAY, APRIL 28; 1938 ftGENT TIMATRE SEAFORTH Now Playing Tyrone Power Loretta Young itt Second Honeymoon ALSO: A Western FeatUrette • 'Mon.

This executive—either .Conservative or Liberal—selects the nominee, who in their judgment will poll the largest vote .(in the last election the liquor vote) and they see to it that there. are *sufficient "true 'blue" delegates at their convention to make sure of that particular nominee. The prospective. nominee is of course the most inter- ested mad generally has been wonking on this "important phase" for weeks or months ahead. At both the ,conventions in Huron last October both cats nearly jumped out of their bags, for at one convene tion every really dry Conservative voter we knew (and we have known many of them for more than twenty years) came eway 'disappointed in the chosen nominee, and at the Liberal Conrention the 'whole four ,dry nomi- nees were together all swept in one heap by one who made no 'pretense 10 be dry 'Whatever. When the result of this voting, was annoUnced, •for a min- ute the paralyzing shock was felt all over the audience and the staunchest of Liberal partisans stared 'blankly at each other.
