WE REGRET TO 'STATE
That owing to a belated cruslt on
our advertising columns, considerable
1anal news and correspondence is held
'over till next week.
NORTH HURON U. F. O. ASSOCIATION BY CLOS:,
VOTE ,DECIDE NOT -TO NOMINATE CANDIDATE
North Huron United Farmers' As-
sociation metin nominating conven-
tion ,in Wingham Town Hall on Fri-
day last, and by a vote of 48-35 de-
cided not to place a candidate in the
field for the ,provincial elections. Of,
the 86 accredited delegates present,
3 did not register' their opinion, and
there were about -70 others, interested
spectators, who enjoyed the proceed-
ings.
When President Thomas Wilson
opened the meeting about two o'clock
he outlined the situation and asked
the opinion of the gathering, Messrs.
W. J,. Henderson, of Morris, Peter
McKay, 'of Ashfield and Mr. Living-
stone, of Morris, ;favored placing a
condidate in the field, while Donald
McLean, of Ashfield, Gordon Lamb,
of Colborne, Robert. Coultes, of East
Wawanosh, Miss Stewart, of Col-
borne, and William Currie of East
Wawanosh, were opposed.
Miss Stewart spoke with consider-
able effectiveness and held the atten-
tion of a rather critical audience. For
years the U. F. 0, had been urging
reforms and relief front heavy bur-
dens, and a few years ago obtained a
measure of success. Prohibition was
the main plank of the platform, and
to again regain this for the province
a solid united front is required by all
the dry forces, irrespective of party
affiliation. She read a letter from Dr,
A. J. Irwin, Secretary of the Prohibi-
tion Union, which urged only one dry
candidate 'in a constituency. The 'Un-
ion endorsed the candidature of Mr.
C. S. Robertson, whose position in
the Legislature had been satisfactory,
Miss Stewart stated that Mr. Robert-
son's activities largely prevented a
Liquor Control Store being opened in
Goderich. She had not come to ad-
vocate the candidature of any partic-
ular person, but to uphold the tem-
perance policy of the organization.
It was quite true the temperance peo-
ple had been deceived by both the
old line parties. The Ferguson ad-
ministration had given a liquor cot-
trol act to cure the evils of intemper-
ance, and apparently the Liberal Par-
ty is
arty'is not all dry. Rather than split
the dry vote in North Huron this
time,she was ready to trust Mr. Rob-
ertson once more. •The Liquor Con-
trol Act is in force by the expressed
wish of the people, and can only be
removed by the same force. Mr. Sin-
clair, the Liberal leader, had so ex-
pressed himself, was prepared to
strictly enforce the Act, and when re-
quested submit the question to the
people ina referendum.'
Miss Stewart's address brought out
some sharp criticism, one delegate
stating he refused to be led around.
by any Liberal political promises,
while another asked; "What would
the U. F. 0. do, if the Conservatives
brought out a dry candidate?" .An-
other one came back with the retort
that "Ferguson cannot control North
Huron, and that he wanted a dry can-
didate irrespective of any party."
After a long discussion the Conven-
tionby a standing vote, broke evenly,
on a decision to bring out a candi-
date, --moved by W. J. Henderson and
Mrs. C. G. Anderson. It was 'then'
decided to vote by ballot, the result
being 35 in favor to 48 against,
In supporting his motion Mr. Hen-
derson stated the convention had
three choices, Ferguson, Sinclair or
the U. F. 0., and felt they had more
to gain from their own organization.
After the decision was reached, ..sev-
eral delegates ventured the, opinion
that the• doom of the U. F, O, had
been sealed. Mr. Rutherford felt that
Liberal Propaganda had crept in and
destroyed a good opportunityto elect
a:man of their own liking,
Sheldon Bricker endeavored to pour
oil on the ruffled surface by referring
to the generous support he had r,e-
ceived in the late Federal election,
not a little of which must have come
from Independent Liberals and Con-
servatives. If they, are to be success-
ful, then they must look for support
to those beyond the membership of
the U. F. O.
On motion of Mrs. George Lamb
and John L. McEwen the Executive
were instructed to call another con-
vention this fall, to norninate a can-
didate for the Federal House.
After a vote of thanks to the Chair-
man the meeting broke up.
THE LIQUOR QUESTION North Huron Liberal Con -
AND THE PARTIES
servatives Meet Oct. 3rd
The three parties have now lined
up their election platforms onthe li-
quor question, The Conservatives be
Neve that the Liquor Control Act, put
into effect only two and a half years'
ago, should be given further trial.
Mr. Ferguson adds also this definite
statement;
"If this legislation doesn't work
out, and if this Government is in pow-
er, we are going to try :something
else; What we want is the best law
we, can have to improve' the moral
situation and the life of the Province
of Ontario. I aim not concerned with
the means. I don't care whether it
is liquor control or prohibition. We
are concerned with the welfare of
the people. Let's get to our objec-
tive—surely we are all agreed` on
that."
J. G, Lethbridge is unequivocally
opposed to the Liquor >Control Act.
He proposes a plebiscite on tl,c sub-
ject within one year, if returned' to
power, W. E, N. Sinclair would ac-
cept the Liquor Control Act and en-
force it strictly. Ile promises a pleb-
iscite when " a considerable body of
public opinion demands a change."
There is . not such a difference in
the rest of the manifestos issued by
the three parties, All offer induce-
ments in lower hydro rates, reduced
car licenses, increased grants to roads
and improvement in the School Act.
'The big question is on the present
Liquor Control Act.

dates They are H. J. A, MacEwen,
Mayor Goderich; Mr, Hackett, of
Ashfield, William McQuillan, of West
`Wawanosh,' and J. W. MclCibbon,
Reeve of Wingham. All have been
prominent in . the Conservative . inter-
ests for years, and some .have politi-

week of patience and then the elec-
tion campaign in North Huron will
be on in earnest.

ano duet was played by Misses Jean
Copeland and Betty. Walker. A: very
interesting part of the program eame
when nine girls, dressed in native cos -

The postponed annual business
meetingthe of Wiri ham Men's and
g•
Wonten'i Canadian Club was held in
the Council Chamber on Tuesday ev-
ening, September 17th. The Presi-
dent, Dr. R. C. Redmond, occupied
the chair. The various reports were
read and approved. The following re-.
port of the corresponding secretary
gives an excellent resume. of the past
year's work:
"The year has brought us its full
quota of interesting and profitable
features, and has given us a splendid
opportunity , for development, if we.
endeavoured to assimilate the fund of
information and ideas given us by our.
=visiting speakers,'
The purpose of the Club is the fost-
ering of patriotism, and the encour-
agement of a deeper interest in the
history, institutions, art, literature and
resources of Canada, as well as the,
consideration of leading questions of.
the day, at home and abroad, and the
endeavor to engage Canadian men and
women in such work as niay be in
their power for the welfare and pro-
gress of the Dominion. This purpose
has been well fulfilled in the varied
subjects discussed by our guests of
honour.
The ten speakers whom we have
listened to this year were of a very
high order, all experts in their line.
None of us pretend to remember all
they have said, but we have imbibed
a little from each and made it our
own. Tennyson says, "I am a part
of all that I have met," We feel how
true that is. We are unconsciously
influenced by the people we meet, and
are unconsciously influencing them.
Some of our speakers took long, toil-
some journeys to deliver their .mess
age to us, and came at great personal
sacrifice. I have often thought that
we were too chary of praise to these
men and women. Perfunctory votes
of thanks were extended, ----sometimes
not even that courtesy—but more
personal expression of our apprecia-
tion might have been given. Praise
hurts no one, and we all like it. There
is something of the pussy in us all—
when her back is stroked, she humps
it, purrs around, and asks for more.
I thought some of our speakers miss-
ed the encouragement of it. Then
why not give it?
One thing worthy of note is the in-
crease in membership, but it is the
desire of the Club to double its mem-
bership next year. Surely in a town
of this size, we could aspire to a
membership of two hundred. ' Let's
try!
May I briefly review the names of
our guests and their subjects? The
Association of Canadian Clubs, Ot-
tawa, have supplied us with three,
namely: Mr. Ilsley, M.P., Nova Scot-
ia, Topic: "Problems of the Mari-
times," Mrs. C, Thorburn, Ottawa,
Topic "Canada's Book of Remem-
brance." Miss 'Dorothy Heneker, of
Montreal, Topic: "Montreal under the
French Regime." The other seven
speakers for whom the Executive
were responsible, were: Mrs, A. A.
Perry, Toronto, Topic: "Women as a
Citizen." Professor F, Landon, 'West-
ern University, London, Topic: "The
Romance of Canadian History," Dr,
Maurice Hutton, Principal Emeritus,
University College, Toronto, Topic:
"On the. Down Grade." Dr. W. E.
Blot; Toronto, Topic: "The Child
and His parent," Dr, Kingston, Wes-
tern University, London, Topic: "The
Wonderful Heavens." Professor Iliffe
Royal Museum, Toronto, Topic:
"Greek Sculpture." Dr, Pratt,`Toron-
to University, Topic: "Poetry of the
Sea."
Those who have cheered us with
their music, we thank heartily: The
hostesses, too, all deserve our grati-
tude. And the very special thanks
of our Club is due to our pianist, Mrs:
G Hanna, We also appreciate the
kindness of the Town Council and
the United' Church for the use of their
rooms in which to hold our, meetings.
Also, we thank the decorators, and
merchants of the town who have so
kindly assisted them,'
The Executive held, many meet-
ings during the year to deal with mat-
ters pertaining to the welfare of the
Club, the President or the vice-presi-
dent presiding.
In conclusion, may I express the
wish that the Club mayenjoy an even
more profitable year next season.
