ANDREW HICK$ NOMINATED, The a annual meeting and convention onventf on of the South Huron Liberal -Conserv - Association held in 'Hensell on f n;trsday last was attended by large eh legations .from every part of -the riding, crowding the town hall to ''ca- pacity. Mr. Andrew Hicks, of Cen- tralia, was the unanimous 'choice of the convention to contest Smith Huron in the corning Federal elec- tion and his acceptance was greeted with vera- great applause. Five . oth- ers were proposed, but withdrew: Alex. Neeb •af Stephen; W. R. El- liott, of Centralia; Henry Horton . of Brucefield, N. W. Trewartha of Clinton, and 'Henry, Eilber,ex- M.L.A. ' of Crediton, i Mr. W. H. Consitt, of Hansall, was elected chairman and Mr,w'F, J: Mc- Quaid, reeve or McKillop, first vice- president. These were the and ohanges in the officers; the remain- der of the riding executive being re - Appointed with only one or two ne- cessary changes. Mr. Hicks, who, at the session of the Legislature in_ 1923, repudiated the leadership of Premier` Drury. and hastened the election, at which the tr.F.O,-La'bor government met its downfall, reviewed that historic . in- cidet 1, reminding the audience that he had gone through with an un- pleasant task from a sense of duty to the province. "From that day oil," he said, "what changed: my attitude was this: On the floor of the Hottse, sitting as. a private member, Howard Ferguson said, 'Let me behind the scene for two months and t will put men us jail who ought to be in' jail, -and lean house .from top to bottom, What could I do but cast in my lot with_ the party' that had a leader bold enough to come out like that, when the. Liberal leader, instead of saying he would do -...the same if in ower, used P s d everyeffort ort to hnsh thins andh g up harass the remnant of the Conservatives 'u� the t t e 'H onsets I said therethat day, '•1 will throw my allegiance with the 'Conservative party.' I' know to -day what .is going on. I visit the House : .occasionally and prominent men coming and go- ing,. and, believe me, you have an administration in Ontario of which I am proud to stand my and say I had some part and parcel in turning the, tide of public opinion to elect business Wren, who will handle your money the way ,it oughtto be handled." 'Regarding his willingness to enter' ,the_ -federal 'field,- Mr, Hicks said: "I have viewed the actions and record of-th the Mack r ' e tztei Kn Government from' an unbiased • standpoint, and' had they ,been clean and fair and liv- ed up to" their promises and been an honor to our country I *quid never have taken the, platform against them, for any administration that is clean I 'believe• in letting them stay while they are Mclean," "There are men who will come to .you, betteradvocates in politics than I; but as long as'ehe people invite ire to take a platform' and I am ate- corded a hearing, like I am " ac- corded to -day, I will do anything that falls to my loot and duty to del fend the honor and good name of this Canada of our." N Andrew Hicks, who was'classified in the Parliamentary Guide' as a mento r of`the "People's part," . was elected from South 'Huron in 1919 as a U. F. 01 candidate, defeating F. H. E11erin•gton, Conservative', by 774 majority, and 'John _T. -Morgan, Lib- eral, by 1,251. He was not, a candi- date in.1923'? The Liberal leader to whom he referred as upholding the Drury Government was Wellington Hay. It was on June I1, 1923, that Mr Hides broke from the 'Drury. leadership, s p, although v remaining.; the U. F. O. side of the HouseHis charge against the thee premier, which he did not touch upon specis'i- ciaily Thursday, was that Ms', Drury had conducted negotiations with the SEAFORTB, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1926. 1,:iberal party, under Mr, 'Hay,',with a view to .coadition. In his speech of June 11, 1923, there occurred this pas' sage; "T g "To -the prince minister let me say, str, tic position n you find your- self our self -it to-dayisthat you are in the open market; you cannot determine until after the coming election whe- ther you are a 'buyer or a seller, bat's you have become so enamored with' the idea of holding office at any cost thatyou will not-/ hesitate to take course either h c Se when that timeoar t s • i e " N. 'ITW. Trewar'tha, M.' IL. A„ South Huron, was applauded when ' he an- nounced that he expected to be a candidate at the provincial general election. He reported that some pro- minent Liberals of the riding were expe'cting'a"trimming" on September 14th. Mr. Trewartha;• who . was 'a member of the; Ontario.agricultural inquiry committee, rehalled that moat of the important recom'menda'tions brought forth ,by that body in regard to marketing were turned down by Hon. n. W. R. Motherwell, Dominion minister of agriculture, and called at- tention_ to the speech of . Rt. Hon, Arfhur 3teiglren at Ottawa, 0 Which tine Conservative leader outlined. his Go eroue ts policy in regardand to aid- ing ing the marketing of farm aroducts. "One of our recommendations," .he said, "was to have a large co-opera- tive marketing agency that would put our produce .into Britain marked 'Canadian,'. and while I have not time to explain it here, I see -Mr Meighes has taken it up, and it will work wonders, not only in Ontario,hut every province in the Dominion:' Mr, Eilbcr. $eery Eilbei:,' who represented South Huron in the Legislature ..for 22 years, remarked that never v been defeated either in the municipal or 'provincial • field, ,and he did not think at this stage that he would seek defeat in the convention. (Laughter and applause.) "This is a question between'Mr.. Hicks and I," he said.. "I have known hint many years. lie lives in the same municipality I live in. 'Hia father was a particularly brilliant man, and he was a gentleman : from the sole of his feet. to the crown of his head, and sat in the Council with inc for years while.I was reeve, and I never found him to do anything but what was , perfectly square, honest and honorable. Mr. 'Andrew Hicks —I don't know if I ant saying some- thing I should not without his per- mission—supported Inc when- I ,was running in South Huron, when we needed somebody to turn out the Ross Government.. I have never ask- ed Andrew Hicks or any, person else to be a candidate at this time. I have never interfered' with the select tion of any candidate in South Huron but I want to say I am not. a candi- date, under arty consideration. • I cannot possibly afford to take that position, But it never: entered my mind that'( could not beat Tom 'Mc- Millan • by a thousand votes (ap- plause), and there is not a doubt in my mind that Mr. Hicks can do it if you ladies -and gentlemen get be- hind him and do what should be clone,'' Mr, Hicks Mr. Hicks said: "This afternoon is rather a.surprise party to myself and many of those sitting in front' of me. I had made up my mind I had serv- ed my time in public life While there I endeavored to the best of my ability to he a -square shooter in the interest of: ties Province of- Ontario rather than ban theinterests eestso any ofpoli- tical party. P (Applause). YTo-da oat Y Y 1K c rght _hare my •feelings, a Tittle but I ,,feel a little bit' nervous on'` this platform, 'and. I ant not 'given to nerves, as a rule. I rather enjoy speaking to the people, and especial- ly .those of South Huron, but .about three years ago I had my head bitten off in this same .spot, and you.know is makes a fellow a little' bit shaky. "There is no- doubt that when the 1'. F. O. movement started in this couirtr it started sate d v h Y with the best motives, among the rural people, to Serve a purpose which the people thought it was •brought forth to serve. I, as one, thought and hoped that great good 'would come from that movemen and t, a c of we had. the kind of men all the way.down that the public service demanded, they would have done some good and not `been a dia. grace.. I was a consistent follower of my leader, in School and out, but 'before we had teamed together a year it was a painful' duty' to go with another ntember.of`our Government and say, "Sir, men"in your Cabinet have 'gone 'wrong,- and oir that occasion Mr, ■'u1' ""said, as he recited some in- stances such as the time Israel Tarte went wrong and Laurier demanded his resignation, that he would follow a precedent like that. I thought at the moment I was following a lead- er who had some .backbone, and would not allow a. roan in his Cabi- net who' would stoop to anything mean, or worse -dishonest --•but when a month went round, and. the same honorable member.and myself went back, we were told we were mistaken and the same member .of the Cabinet was straight, I'tbegan to he shaken in my faith. • "We' teamed on as`bes't we could. I insisted of a clean-up of a situation which was a disgrace on the 'fair name, of Ontario, and as a last resort —,and an awful step'for any private member to take on the floor'of the House—and Mr. Guthrie: will in- dorse my sentiments—tb have to throw his leader and say, 'I cannot follsw hien, and the country W judge the reason why' From th day' on I ceased tohe,a 'follower Ernest Drfr y, and my,' judgme was'vindicated m thea e. v n s]tat •f t lowed. Some of you people may n think 1 •..vould be a good orthod Conservative, but I tell you what think of polifical parties,- You a only a business organisation, to ,e duct the business of your countr and when a political' panty ceases be - clean cea a n nd honest and above -boar it is no longer fit to be trusted wi the business of this province andAl country. ('Applause). "When I retired from politics, meant et—up to 'Monday of this we but representations Were brought me by prominent men througho this riding; not only where I •live,.•b the farthest corners of this ridin and they said •1Hicks,,you owe a du to; your province and .the Domino and ought io allow your name to to the convention.' 'I said, 'Gelid men, if it is a waiter of duty, I w reconsider, and I am here to -day ,p reconsideration than as a matter duty that I ought -to allow my nam to go before the -convention,'., and will allow 1 w ft to go. (Applause.). 'If you ask why .I digress 'from th House to the Dominion, let m tell you 'I have viewed the actions an record of the:Mackenzie King goy crnment from an unbiased stand point, and shad they .been =clean an fair, and lived up to their' promise and been an honor to our country, would never have taken the, piatfor against them. But we find- at Exete on Labor Day -one of the, larges concourses that ever `listened to Prime minister, and he spent most o the time on a plea, the burden o which was, 'I fail to see how 'I ca carry On. I haveappealed to th people, and unless I get a workin majority will not carry on.' And who was the verdict of the peogip,s Eigh Cabinet minis'fers .defeated at th polls, and the prime minister induct ed, and instead' of.playing the states- man's part he immediately started to peddle and deal, and goes to - the governor of- this cogn'try and says, 'By certain agreements I have made with other parties in the. Hoose I can carry on business and 3 ask you to allow me the chance.' Lord Bytig, hero ofthe c Britishnation that Ile is (applause), said, 'All right, Mr. King; the business of the country mast •go. on,' anti front that day until 'the dos - ng ing scenes, which.were_ .disbeputable in the history of the country, tthat. pian' hes been peddling from pillar to post, and we bad nothing at last 'but a peddling premier that did not know where he was going. "When he found `.the Minister of Customs and Excise was wrong per- sonally, his system had gone wrong,. and his department was filled with anything but respectable people, he could have done like other leaders, said, 'Mr. Bureau, I want your re- signation,' but no, he elevates hint to the Senate. The Senate is ea place for that kind of man. We have in- stitutions, but not the Senate. "I am content to let my name stand as a candidate and I will tell you this: In the hour of Canada's need Canada's people never failed her end' Canada never needed .clean living and thinking people as badly as to -day. Sitting back and taking a cold-blood- ed view' of the whole matter, I'believe when the 14th of September comes Arthur Meighen will lead,and we will have a clean-up the sante as we had in Ontario!' (Applause.) When Mr. Eilber announced: that he would not be 'a candidate he moved that at the choice of Mr. Hick- s he made a e unanit n i of s. This. was promptly seconded by W. R. El- liott and approved by the meeting With applause. "There will 'be the bitterest fight you ever saw between now and the 14th of September," said Mr. Hicks in a few remarks of, acknowledgment, "and the most fun you every saw (laughter and applause) and any of yott ladies and gentlemen that don't get into the'fight are going to miss half your life. When a man goes around talking about the constitution- ality of what Lord Byng did let ccs reflect that the .man who stood be tween the empire and peril at Vimy is criticized itr tzed by a man. nursed in the lap of luxury, of everything Rocke- feller. stoney could buy him during the war,".
