Firmly.13y His Convictions
North Huron's member leas spoken
in the Provincial .ov�nu ' �ialParliament, and he
has cl
xplaitned his position fearlessly
to favor of the sale of non -intoxicat-
ing 1.4 beer, believing that by giving.
the thousands of Ontario risen who
want it, a more palitable .beverage
and by eo :doing assisting in doing
awaywith a good amount of boot-
legging and , the manufacturing .of
rotten swamp whiskey, :. which in
many cases is deadly poisonous.
The following is how 'Mr, Joynt
was quoted in a Toronto 'daily.
tOJohn Joynt (.Con. Huron, North),
commenced his address by, referring
to unemployment and the action of
the Federal Government in. throwing
the whole burden;on, the provinces.
If this was the policy of ' the orcin' railwa to keep money in New
he said, • then' they ought to` re- ,that y
gamier and officials, He knew of
no co-operative .society in Ontario
that ever: did the farmers any "good.
Gan anybody in the opposition tell
me of one?" " he. enquired. "NQ?
Then I take it they don't letiow of
any." He cautioned farmers not to be
beguiled
-
begttiled by smooth-tongued organ-
izers who wished to form associations
merely in order to get a good ralce
off for themselves: He instanced the
tobacco ,growers of Connecticut.
Re went on to urge the burning of
wood instead of ,coal, wherever possi-
ble, to help, the unernployment situa-
tion, saying that men could be em-
ployed cutting wood. He said he
had noticed . along the C, P. R. lines
piles of wood for use at the stations,
it evidently being the intention of

D. J. Taylor (Progressive, No

Mr• Joynt: "Yes, and'the col-amiss-

ion agents joined together to fix it,,
You know that as well as I do,"' (Ap-
plause.)
The speaker ne.t said that . the first.
thing that co-operative societies did
Ontario.
Ou the 0. T. A. Mr, Joynt, who
comes from dry riding, said ie ear-
ed nothing about his political future;
but/he, did care about his conscience.
He still firmly believed in the At-
torney -General. That was his ' an-
swer to all his friends and the elec-
tors of his'riding. - "I have complete.
faith in the Attorney -General,'' he
commented, "even- before the bill is
introduced." He knew the electors of
North Huron would not wish him to
vote against the Government. He.
certainly could not support the Lib-
eral amendment or the amendment
coming from the discredited Farmers'
party. "It does seem,to me,", he con
cluded, "afte5 listening to the Attor-
ney -General•, a gentleman who is
above reproach, a gentleman, I might
say, of supe=lative degree, that I
should put -_my faith in him,. instead
of listening to those who would make
