But good citizenship is a patient executioner in Ontario. Again and again Ontario citizens have registered their determination that the moral and econo- uric waste caused by booze must cease. V On October 23rd the men and women of this Province must tell the selfseeking liquor interests still more emphatically that booze shall not come back. A half -million majority for continuance of The Ontario Temperance Act is language that brewer, distiller and bootlegger will understand. TA. is Hated for its Good Work Desperate because the O.T.A. has cut down drinking by 90%, the liquor trade seeks the death of the forest temperance tneasure Ontario has ever had. Distiller, brewer and boot- legger are arrayed against the' forces of reform. The issue itself is sharply drawn, but John Barleycorn is using -a new disguise. Only his desperation can explain his reckless effront- ery and his astonishingly low estimate of the common sense of the people. No good citiaen, familiar with the miserable conditions before The Ontario Temperance Act brought sobriety to the homes and happiness to the women and children, would deh'b- erately vote for a return to the bar -room. Yet today Ontario faces, as the only alternative to the O.T.A., a step that wilt lead to conditions in some srespects even worse than the open bar produced. Rally to Its Defence • without the former; restrictions of the licensed bar -room, and bring back the treating system, the hip -pocket flask, and the drinking club. To vote for government sale is to bring back to old Ontario the free dispensing of that bottled misery, which will blight and destroy the hopes, the character, the life of young and old in every community where liquor shops are permitted to exist. Your Ballot is Your Weapon You know that, but you trust VOTE. Your weapon, the ,ballot, must be used. Vote yourself, and use your influence to have every qualified elector within your home and your place of work do likewise. The only votes counted will be those placed in the ballot box on October 23rd, 1424. Apathy and over -confidence have lost many a good fight. The liquor trinity—bootlegger, brewer and distiller—are at work, night and day. ]toil their efforts by polling an over- whelming majority for The Ontario Temperance Act. Mark your ballot thus: The same sordid story comes from every province where sat -called government °`control" has been blindly adopted. More drinking, more drunkenness, more crime, more acddents, more misery, more waste—and, above all, infinitely more of the curse of bootlegging. This prospect should send every earnest man and woman in Ontario to the polls on October 23rd to vote for the continuance, strengthening and vigorous enforcement of The Ontario Temperance Acta To legalize the sale of booze for beverage purposes, though in sealed packages, is to re-establish the liquor shop Are you in favour of the con - 1. tinuance of The Ontario Tem- perance Act? Are you in favour of the sale Lsas a 'beverage of beer and spirituous liquor in sealed pack- ages under Government control? The Ontario Plebiscite Committee 2 Toronto Street, Toronto G. B.
