JAMES !BALLANTYNE CONVENTION CHOICE games Ballantyne, farmer, of Us - borne township, :and Warden of Hu- ron county last year was the choice of an open convention of Liberals and Progressives at Hensall on Monday afternoon to contest South Huron in the coming provincial election. 'In tendering Mr.; Ballantyne the nomination the joint gathering turned down W. G. Medd, M.L.A., of Exeter, who had won the riding in the prev- ious two elections. Mr. lledd was el- iminated in the first :ballot. The vote ,vas: first ballot, Medd, 1(i2; - J. I -I. Scott, Seaforeh, 105; Ballantyne, 215; second and final ballot: 1Ballantyne, mad; Scott, 1166. Harry C, Nixon, leader of the Pso- gressive panty and lieutenant of Mit- chell F. ,Hep'bvrn, Liberal leader, was the speaker for the occasion, devoting most of his attention to criticism of the administration; The convention had been called as a Progressivesin gathering but over the week end ,arrangements had been made for a joint meeting. In its early stages it was most harmonious but toward the ,end 'the liquor question was thrust inter -deliberations with the result tthat it appeared for a time that the meeting might break up in disorder. Mr. Scott and 'Mr. Medd moved that the choice be made unan- imous he nevertheless took the action with some personal reservations. All the trouble started during the taking of the second ballot. The bal- lots had been distributed and most of those present had alreadynarked them, 'when Wi'lliani (Black, president of the South Huron Progressive As- sociation and chairman of the conven- tion interrupted to say that he ha.d been regaiested to have Mr. Ballan- tyne declare himself on the liquor question and he cabled on Mr. Ballan- tyne for a statement. This brought. immediate protests from the floor al the convention but lir, Ballantyne did not object, "I ani not exactly a temperance man," Mr. 'Batian't),ne told the meet - in g, ting, "but I believe that this beer and wine bill will . be repealed if public sentiment is against' it. I will do whet is right. 'I can take a drink or leave it alone." This statement brought further in- terruptions and there was: a demand from one balloter that a new ballot be di'stribu'ted and -that they be allow- eS to vote over again in the face of "Spode" e» Dinnerware We are now showing Spode Dinner- ware in three very popular and pret- ty designs, the "Billingsley Rose," the "Buttercup" and the "Fairy Dell" patterns, "Spode" is something in dinnerware and something better.

Res, 10. 11 Air, Ballantyne's stand. "We want no hall measures," came a voice from the floor of the ball, "We want yes or no." "Go ahead, go ahead," came cries ,from various parts of the hall, appar- entty urging that those collecting the ballots finish their job. The chairmen then asked far a show of hands on going ahead with the collection of the .ballot and it was carried easily. Those opposing it 'did not number over a score and included about a dozen women in the first two rows of seats. But even the announcement of the result of the ballot did not put an end' to the warring. After the announce- ment by the chairman that Mr. Bal lantyne had been chosen over Mr. Scott by '30 votes, the successful con- tender thanked the convention very briefly asking that they all get 'be- hind him, He stated that he had al- ways voted for his friend Mr, _Medd and he believed that the former ,mem- her would help him in the campaign, At this point Rev. J. \V, Down of Exeter, president of the Temperance Federation of South (Huron, said that he had .been responsible .for having Mr. Ballantyne asked his stand on the temperance question. He had believed that if the ex -warden was,to carry the temperance vote he must be more specific as to his stand. He thought from Mr, Ballantyne's statement that if he were elected he would throw his influence against the wine and beer measure. "We have been called upon again and again to put a temperance 'candi- date in .the fieicl,"- declared Mr. Down, "and I might say that eve have not reached a delfinite decision yet" "Try it. Tny it," and "You've got him," came voices from the conven- tion floor. "I''ll 'tell you this much, 1 wouldn't! bow to any te'mlperance organization in this province," interrupted Mr, Black, the chairman, "and there isn't a 'better temperance man in the coun- ty than I am. When the temperance :people vote as they pray then #'ll sup- port them." Voice from the hall: "Amen." F`•I •am yia'st trying to 'keep this con- vention from splitting nip," declared the 'Temperance :Federation head, "I am s'at'isfied with the candidate that has been .nominated. A'li that I asked was that he go a 'little further is ex- plaining his stand on the liquor issue and he has' done so." lAt the opening of the meeting Geo, Layton, of Exeter, brother-in-law of Mr. Medd moved that 'the convention be .open to Progressives, Liberals and Independent Conservatives w'ho were opposed 'to the Henry administration and that the candidate chosen stand as an independent candidate. This was seconded by J. G. Stansbury of Exeter who expressed the opinion that in this way they could go into the election with a• united front. They owed it as a debt to themselves and their families to, unite on this great moral issue. There were only two or three who gave any indication of op position to this move and it was ad- opted. The constitution of the Progre.s- lives calls for a•noltitihatioa as well as 'election by ballot but it was decided:: i nview of the size of the convention to have open ,nominating and election by ballot. 'Those nominated in the order of their proposal were James Ballantyne by Owen Geiger, Hensall, and George McLennan, Clinton:; J. 21, (Scott, by W. D. 'Sanders, reeve of. Exeter; W.

Mr. Medd in announcing diet he' would allow his name to go before the convention was the first to intro- duce the liquor question. He pointed out that they all knew his stand on the question of alcoholic beverages and he told of the vote on the beer and wine bill in the 7louse. He de- clared that the Conservatives had come out dike whipped dogs and vot- ed for the bill as they had been in- structed. He denied that Mitchel: Hepburn was going after those who had voted against the bill. Mr. Scott told the convention that 'while Ile was a temperance man, the real issue inthe coming election was, the extravagance of the Henry gov- ernment. The beer and :wine measure had just been intro'd'uced as canon-• Hage to try and get :back into power.. ''The liquor question must not be con sidered the important issue especially in view df the fact that Huron was under the Canada Temperance once tLct.•. (Air, iBablantyne spoke very briefly. He .thought that the question for ,the_ - electors to consider was . the cost of administration, the increase in the • debt and the mismanagement of Hg dro.
