1VIR. A. G: SIVIITH TO LEAVE
FOR TORONTO 1
• Mr, A. G. Smith, for twelve years
the able proprietor of the Advance -
Times, is about to leave Wingham
for Toronto, where he assumes the
business managemen the irange

Cannon, solicitor -general of the Do-
minion. Practically the whole town -
turned out to welcome the disting-
uished guests, Despite the fact that
harvest is in pi:ogress, members of
the agricultural community for miles
around left their work and drove into
Wingham to be present at the meet-
ing.
Headed by the Wingham band, a
large crowd was present at the station
to welcome the'Premier, and the prin-
cipal streets were gay with flags and
bunting in honor of the occasion. Ar-
riving at the Arena, he was presented
with an official address of welcome
by Mayor Thornas Fekls of Wingham,
and received a rousing ovation from
the assembled eiowd.
The meeting which followedwas
featured by several outstanding ad-
dresses, which were followed with the
closest attention. In addition to the
Premiers' speech, which included a
closely reasoned analysis of the sit-
uation in the riding as it affects the
Dominion as a whole, coupled with
an earnest plea for co-operation in
strengthening the hands of the Gov-
ernment, in order that it may contiu:
ue to carry out the program of pro-
gressive measures which has been so
successfully init, iated there were ad-
dresses by the candedate, Archie His-
lop, Hon. J. C. Elliott, and Hon. Lu-
cien Cannon:
A cablegram from Premier Baldwin
of Great Britain, read from the plat-
form by Mr. King, evoked round af-
ter round of vigorous applatse. As a
result of his visit, Mr. Baldwin stat-
ed in his message, he would have
henceforth a permanent association
with the Dominion. He had attempt-
ed during his tour to accomplish two
things, first to interpret to the peo-
ple of Canada the spirit of Great Bri-
tain, and seCondly, to learn all he
could about Canada and Canadians,
so that in days to come he might be
able to interpret to the people of
Great Britain something of the spir-
it of Canada. Such a message, com-
ing from the first British Prime Min-
ister ever to visit Canada in the Do-
minion's history, was of tVe greatest
significance, Mr. King said, \adding
that Canada had been greatly honored
by Mr. •Baldwin's thoughtful and
kindly , addresses and by the excep-
tionallY good judgment and, tact
which he had displayed during his
visit. It had brought Canada and the
mother country nearer than ever to
each other and would prove one of
the real links of empire.
Each of the speakers of the after-
noon paid high tribute to the work
and character of the late John W.
King, former Progressive member
for North, Huron, whose death
brought on the present by-election.
He was referred to as a man sincere-
ly beloved and respected by all who
knew him.
Premier Applauded.
Introduced by Abner Cosens, who

onto the platform and presented the
Premier with e, handsome bouquet of
flow'ers, receiving the traditional re-
ward of a kiss, to, the great delight of
the atidictice.
Mr. King thanked the citizens of
Wingham for the kindly and cordial
reception accorded him, and compli-

TO THE ELECTORS OF NORTH HURON
The issue quite clearly is "Do you want a Member
responsible to you or do you want a Member responsible
to a Party Machine—financed and controlled outside the
riding? A Party Member, if he is to retain his job, must
vote with his masters, whether or not that is in the in-
terests of his constituency.
So the Prime Minister and, a considerable number
of the Cabinet have come and gone.. As reported in the
Globe the Premier is still crying for more support—
"Give me support that I can show you what I can do,"
he says. One wonders when he will have enough. The
same sounds have been reaching our ears since 1921. In
the Parliament elected in 1921 Mr. King had a Party
Majority of 2 and 64 cross benchers ready to vote for
advanced legislation—and he did nothing. He went to
the country in e925—crying for more support that he
might show us what he could do and he got less. In
the Parliament of 1925 Mr. Ring had no majority. He
had to depend for support on the Farm and Labour
Groups, The result was a re% cut in Automobiles; Rur-
al Credits; Re -valuation of Soldiers Lands; Old Age Pen-
sions; and the Hudson Bay Railway—the best Legisla-
tive Program since Confederation. It was so good that
the Liberals were returned on the strength of it in spite
of the Customs Scandal. But with a majority the Gov-
ernment in the session of 1927 offered nothing in the
way of Tariff Reduction. The Government shows no
signs of continuing the good work' begun in 1925. I con-
clude a Government with a safe majority does little or
nothing.
The Prime Minister asks "Would the Fanners not
feel badly if they were asked to support a United Plumb-
er?" Just how many plumbers -are there in North Hur-
on? Hardly a dozen. Fully go% of the people actually
farm or are directly responsible to Agric-ulture for their
living. The question was a most unhappy one.

tended by Miss Hattie Etherin.gton,

ed by Mr Perce Merleley, brother of

BAPTIST CHURCH' NOTES
• At high noon on Tuesday, August
Special services were held in the
Wingham Baptist church last Sunday,
marking the completion of the inter-
ior and exterior decorations and oth-
er improvements. Adding to the effect
was a beautiful array of flowers sur-
rounding the platform, greeting the
eyes of the worshippers as they ga-
thered in large numbers for the ser-
vices. Rev. W. M. MacDonald, of the
Maitland Street Baptist church, Lon-
don, was the speaker for the day, de-
livering a powerful message in the
morning on the subject of the Res-
urrection and in the evening a heart -
stirring message on "Spiritual Ambi-
tion?' The latter message was con-
nected in thought with the theme of .
the morning, Special messages in
song were effectively rendered by the
choir and the quartette.
Another event will take place next
Monday, September 5th, when the
fall rally of the B.Y.P.U. of Walker-
ton will meet in the Wing -
ham Baptist church.
