ONT., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25th. 1926 The North Huron Nominations Held In Wnghanx Saturday Mr.. Geo. Muldoon, Returning Offi- cer for North Huron, declarert nomin- ations closed, and read the names of the two candidates nominated to con- test North Huron in the coining el- ection on Dec,. ist, in the Wingham Town Hall at 2 o'clock on 'Saturday. afternoon. They are:— joint Joynt, Independent Conserva- tive, of the Village of Lucknow, Far- mer. Chas. A. Robertson, Liberal, of the township of Colborne, Farmer., Mr: Wm. McQuillin, farmer, of the wnship of West Wawanosh, is the ficial agent for Mr. Joynt, while' Mr, Alex. Porterfield, farmer; of the township of East Wawanosh, is the official agent for Mr. Robertson. Mr, A .Cosens was 'elected chairman' for the .after -meeting, or testimonial meeting/as the pulpit orators might' Mr.' Joynt was the first speaker call- ed, and he launched out into a spirit- ed address on his many activities as member for North Huron for the. past seven years. He celebrated his 7the oth birthdayon previous Satur- day and is certainly a very, active man, although at present he is very much under the weather, suffering from a very severe cold contracted a week, ago. . He was confined to his bed from Wednesday until a couple of hours before the nominations, and, we may say, he is taking an active inter- est nterest in as many Ie'bates and public meetings as his 'physician will, allow hien to: He reviewed his vote . for 4:4, and read several paragrahps from W ick! to of r. F. Nickle the• speechM substantiate his reasons: for support- ing 4.4 in the interests of temperance, and at the persuasion of Mr. Nickle. He vigorously announced his manifes- to as itappears in another column of this paper, and stated emphatically that he was behind the Ferguson ad- ministration in most, of their legis a !-tion,: but would absolutely oppose ,ny measure of Government Control, nd had no sympathy whatever with proposed amendments to the present rural school system. Mr. Roliyertsoti followed Mr. Joynt, and criticized him for his vote 'on the 44, and asked for support on the ground that 1VIr. Joynt was endorsed by Hon,, G. H. Ferguson, whom he claimed, was a disgrace to the Con- servative party, and the Province in general. He criticized the Depart- ment of Highways for ruthlessly spending the people's money too lav- ishly awishly in some parts of the province, and 'notbuilding the, necessary roads CHURCH Rev. M,. M.

He said that the promise of a $5.00 reduction in the price of automobile license, was nothing h r`tbribe t g s o of a b be handed' out before the election. He believed the tax on;gasbline should be increased, to meet any necessary expenditure. Be said that while Mr. Joynt assured us that the township school board idea was being held' over by Ferguson, that in his humble belief there would be something done with this just as soon as Fergy was returned to pow- er. The matter of the suggested two: years University training in the High School, which` Mr. Joynt said was one of the bills which would be put on the statute books as soon after the opening of the Legislature as possi- ble, he felt would continue to hang fire. • Mr.. •Spotton, _ speaking on behalf of, Mr, ;J,,oynt,r took issue with Mr. Rob- ertson in the words of slander of Mr. Ferguson. He said that no mans heart beat truer for the uplift u lift and sobriety of the young people of the province of Ontario than ' does Mr. Ferguson's. At the present time he is acting as minister of Education without an extra salary other than his salary as Prime Minister. In this alone, he was saving the Province the stipend of one minister. No prem- ier has ever hadthe, same grasp of each and every department of his government as the present ,Premier. Mr. Spotton outlined pieces of legis- lature passed by the Ferguson admin - istration. He complimented very highly.the efficient manner in which the Ferguson cabinet, and especially Mr. Price, had cleared up 'y the finan- cial bungle which the Drury -Raney. lot had left, after stealing the money; and leaving the bare vault. 1VIr. Spotton, also: laid stress on the great saving in the purchasing of school books. In many cases theold books. cost easily four times as; much, as since the Ferguson Government came, into power. Mr. 'Ferguson has es- tablished a coach equipped asa school 5ooin and provided a competent teach- er to travel about in New Ontario, where the children of the poorer res- idents, esidents, (themselves coining citizens of our fair province,) were given 'a chance of an education, something they in former years had not the chance to receive.

TO THE ELECTORS OF NORTH HURON: -- LADIES AND GENTLEMEN; As an Independent Conservative Candidate for re-election to the Provincial Legislature, I herein solicit the votes and sup- port of the electors of my riding I regret my handicap in receiving my nomination at such a late date, snaking it impossible, on account of ba roadsand weather, to see the electors in person, and therefore issue this manifesto so that you may intelligently know My views, As I see it there is only one contentiousuestio beforee q n the. electors at this time, viz.: Government Control. The record I. of the Government on all other legislation, in my opinion, -inion should meet with the honest o st approval of the electors. My reason for accepting an Independent nomination was be- cause of the fact that I am opposed. to Government Control, will not support it. My record of the past seveny ears is before you. Y I have taken the most advanced step`in the interest of the i electors of Huron County. in securing lower and more equalized rates for users of Hydro light and power, and shall ever con- tinue to do so.., I have always been and will continue to be an ardent sup- porter and advocate of the most progressive legislation in the interest of measures for the benefit of agriculture. Regarding Township School Boards: This does not appeal to PP nae, and I have given it no ,support whatever, and will always continue ntin u e to support any me -sure s that will tend to lighten en the burden of taxation. Iamasu supporter PPrt r of the Government's legislation reducing the Automobile License Fees, andalso the removal of the Amuse Ment' Tax. It has always been and will continue to be my mottoto ®support all measures that tend for the'betterment of the people of the Province, and most particularly for the people of nl be- y lov ed riding of North Huron: I appeal for your vote and influence on Dec. 1st. Faithfully Yours, JOHN JOYNT. Witness as to this aignature:D. C. Taylor. 1 At the official nomination meeting at Wingham on November : i , 2oth, Mr. Joynt gave his reasons forsupporting the "Four -Four" measure as follows "All my life I have been a profound temperance man and a teetotaler, and, and have never lost any opportunity both by . pre- cept vote and example to further real temperance. Being an Inde- pendent thinker.I kept an open mind and listened attentively to i the pro& and cons. In my searching for a proper, sane conclu sion in the matter, it did appear to me that the man who under- stood it best must be the man who saw the '0. T. A. in its t minutest working detail—the man who daily in his office Iistened i to tales of sorrow and pleadings of those affected by the various i liquor concoctions. In this man -Hon. W. F. Nickle, Attorney- Geneal, I had complete confidence as an honest, upright, real temperance man. This Four -point Four Bill was his Bill, and when he pleaded with all the earnestness of his soul in the interest of true temperance, I believed .him and voted with him for same. Mr. Joynt then read the following paragraphs from Mr. Nickle's Speech delivered in the House on Feb. 'r7, x926. These are but two paraghaphs extracted from a thirty-six page address appealling to the members of the Legislature to support his Four -point Four in the interests of the 0. T. A. and permanent real temperance: (A) "The other day, the Pioneer said, and said wisely, "The bas- is of theproblem is avarice and appetite." Nothing could be put more succinctly. The basis of the problem to -day is avarice and appetite, If you analyse these charcteristics of humanity, you would realize the proper study of mankind is man, Generally I am stating that in my judgment the people of Ontario to -day who want liquor are becoming whiskey and alcohol drinkers. I am trying to tell you, Mr. Speaker, that I am convinced that un- less some relief can be obtained against this ever-growing tendency, that the Ontario Temperance Act is bound to be destroyed. The pendulum is swinging against the Ontario Temperance Act, and while the movement was caught at the full of the tide in xgr6 and 1919, due possibly to the emotionalism of the war, today it is al- most at the ebb of the tide; and as a temperance man I am 'satis- fied that unless something is done to relieve the stress, the On- tario Temperance Act is doomed to be destroyed." (B) "If I had the power, some God-given gift by which thru the initiation of an Act of Parliament I could sweep away all the, perniciuos effects of intemperance, even by a declaration of pro- hibition, I would do so; but 1 realize,. as. I said on previoust oe casions in this House, that the public roan must be a practical idealist. He does not live in a world of romance. He is deal- ing with human beings and the conditions that surround him, and after giving careful consideration to the development of temper- ance sentiment in this Province, to conditions that faced the hon- ourable ex -Attorney -General, and that face rue, and) will face those who may succeed me if conditions remain as they are today, 1 can reach no other conclusion than that if some reddress, some easing, is not given with reference to the Ontario Temperance Act, the Act, much to my regret, would be doomed to extinction; be- cause I believe the people of this Province are being driven to becoming whiskey drinkers and drinkers of illicit liquor, because they are not able to get a beverage that is palatable, refreshing and at the same time non -intoxicating: (Applause)." Itt conclusion I beg to say that Mr. Nickle, when the Rill was brought down in the House' and in private conversation to .our P y candidate, stressed and emphasized 'the importance of the fact that the old beer could be purchased and, was being purchased, and drunk in tremendous quantities by the children of this fair Pray - ince rovince' who collected their pickles and dimes, formed into groups, purchased this beer on which there was no restriction and Were learning to become beer drinkers. Ile also laid great stress upon the fact that the old beer was made from chemicals and was injurious to the system.... -.The new Four -point -Four beer roust be made from Malt and Hops under penalty of Teti Thousand Dollars for any violation, and, to be sold in Licensed places only under permit, and no one under the age of eighteen years of age Gould purchase, also stressing the fact that it was positively non - intoxicating and an advanced and forward step in the interest of Trite Teiuper+anee. I ask You, my fellow electors, to give this your careful and most earnest consideration. JOHN JOYNT a 6 i 1}'
