The unusual subject for next Sunday .evening is "A Quiet Woman'." Monday 8 p.in. —' The Y, P. S" meets to coiuider the interest- ing subject, "FourBars to Social Reconstruction in, In- dia." Liberal and Progressive parties in On- tario have nothing to say about Lib- eral,and Farmed' governments in other provinces which place liquor control legislation upon the statute books, "I have been known in Huron Coun- ty, now," he said, "for 51 years and, ladies and 'gentlemen, if'I am to be your candidate I go down to the Legis latu.re as a Conservative member, but on the liquor question I want a right to my own mind, to think and act for myself. If it is the wish of this convention to grant me that liberty, then it will be my: pleasure to be your candidate, and I will do everything I can to be elected on December i, If there is any protest against that, I want it made known immediate- self. ' I ani not prepared to vote Fer- guson or any other man unless it is in the best interests of the country." George Spotton nominee(' John Joynt. "I know,' he said, "that. Pre- mier Ferguson wired John Joynt and pleaded with hien to allow his name to go'before your convention to -day and he has agreed • to do so. Personally I have aways voted for temperance measures, except for local option in Wingham. We are asked to -day to turn our backs upon Premier Fer- There was a burst of applause and Mr. Joynt said: "That is very gratify- ing to me- Two weeks ago`I did not even dream of standing on this plat form and saying what I have said this afternoon. But elected or not, ;I am going to have my trip, and when I get back I intend to give you the ben- efit of my experience." "We havealways enjoyed having Mr- Joynt with,said Hon. George S. Henry, minister of highways, a little later. "He is a man capable of expressing his views .in clear and forc- ible manner and is looked upon as one of the progressive members of the: Legislature, one who has ideas and is always prepared to Put them fogward with the idea of improving conditions generally in this province. We don't want, to interefere with his trip. Our session will be short as, Conservative sessions usually are, and hecantake his place and for the, remainder of the year enjoy himself." William Campbell, Goderich veter- an, who at the previous convention shot some questions at Hon. Dr. Mon- teith regarding the liquor policy, arose during the periodof malting nomin- ations and began a narative of his observations .regarding the liquor traffic in Canada. He was still deal- ing with conditions prior to confed- eration, when the audience became restive and upon the motion of Robert Johnston and Orton Stubbs it was de- cided that nominations be completed. and Mr. Joynt heard before any gen- eral discussion took place:. Dr. Armstrong, in remarks from the chair said: "I refuse to be tagged a `wet,' but after careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that if we can get a government control pol- icy of the proper kind we will be a- way ahead of the 0, T. A. We all know it has not been possible to make it a success. We out in the country do not know much about the way it is being violated, but in'the towns and cities they know, and. 1 have come' to the conclusion Mr. Ferguson will give us" good stringent government control and it is a gtiestion of whether the Governmentshall appoint agents to sell or whethet the doctors shall continue to be bartenders. No doubt t' he new law will be violated; there is no law that is not. The only ques- hat is the best way to try to tion oto ice ai advance the cause of temliei , and I have conte to the conclusionthat a strict, well -,enforced Government eon trot law will be best, although I have r w^ • John Joynt' Unanimous Choice of Convention guson and to whom are we going to look? Mr. Sinclair had only 14 folowers in the House and two of them asked for so per cent beer avid seven voted for it, and the Conserva- tive party turned it dowse The only, other is Mr. Raney, who could not stop a. drunken carousal next door in. the Parliament buildings. Mr. Fer- guson has promised us that if his proposed legislation ,does not better conditions and place a bulwark around the young people of the province he will. repeal it In proposing Mr. Joy t I propose a man who has been a sin sere temperance roan all his life; he does not know the taste of liquor and he is independent enough on the floor of the House. I know that if Gov- ernment overnment control is given a fair trial and Mr. Joynt sees it has.not bettered conditionshe will be big .enough . to move that the act be rescinded." William McQuillan, West Wawan- osh, one of those mentioned as a poss- ible candidate, seconded Mr. Joynt's nomination. That of Warden Mc- Kibbon was made by Harry Edwards and 0. Johnston, both of. Goderich, "I stand on the 'Ferguson platform with both feet, and not oiie in the air," said Mr. McKibbon, "but Mr. Joynt has been asked by, our premier to be the candidate, and.I am for the party first, last and all the time. It is call- ed a wet and dry campaign, and some people do not like to touch this ques- tion, but the Conservative party has the record of true temperance, and. has found out that the present act is not enforceable. Mr, Ferguson is. not trying to do away with the. 0. T. A,, but make it a real workable, teen perance measure, and I am anxious to see: 'a follower of Mr. Ferguson re- turned from this riding. If .at some other dine, you think I can be of service to you, as candidate or other- wise, I am always at the service of the party. At this time, owing to per- sonal matters, it suits me not to be a candidate, but it is a pleasure to be behind a candidate who, I feel, will support "Hon, Howard Ferguson: `Nothing gives me greater pleasure,' said E.: R. Wigle, ex -M" L. A. "than to acquiesce in everything that has been said about your candidate, Mr. Joynt. If anybody can twin this; rid- ing, it is John Joynt In the beginn- ing he stood in the breach, as to -day, and won the riding for the Conserva- tives, Everybody knows John Joynt's tempera/tee principles, and that he, has stood by these convictions in and out of the House, and if John Joynt believes the Ferguson poilcy is in the best interests of the people of On- tario,you and I may rest assured his ' deliberation is right. 1 feel that he can represent electors' of all creeds and/shades of politics" Isv,en' Mr. Campbell, a profound temperance man will find he will be able to; support Mr. Joynt." Mr, Joynt was given a finetrib- nae oapplause f when ;the chairman te:ndered him the nomination, LOCAL MANURACTURER DIES VERY SUDDENLY As we go to press we learn with res gret that Mr. William Gunn, President of the Gunn -Son -Ola Co., passed sud- denly away at his home on Francis St, at noon on Wednesday Mr. Gunn has proven himself a good business- man singe coming to Wingham a few years ago: He was particularly be- loved by all the men in hs employ.
