A rumor that Rev. E. G. Itowell of
Exeter was working to get an ,inde-
pendent nomination was evidently cir-
culated with a, view to injuring Mr.
Powell in his work as Field Secretary
off the Dominion Alliance for the woole
county, by imputing- political motives
to 'him, many Conservatives , reeentiag
his outspoken sentiments regarding'
Hon. Mr. Hanna. However, that yarn
was set at rest 'by Mr. Powell at the
outset a the meeting, 'wheralike. gave as
the sole reason for calling the convent-
ion the necessity of their considering
the situation, and said What he certatn-
ly had no such politica.' ambitions.
, Rev. Mr. Muir, all the Dominion Al-
liance gave a vigorous replY .to those
who wanted temperance kept out of
politics. It was absurd, he Pointed out,
to keep talking and praying for some
legislation, and to refuse to take the
power they died ha their own hands.
The principal hripediment to :the desire
for legislation was purely iaolitical. If
it were poasible to have a private bill
providing Tor the abolition of the bar,
one that would notimperil the Govern-
ment, he believed there Were many Con-
servathies in the House who winild! vote
for it. "Yes, in their sleep," commented
-;someone. . .
"No, with their eyes ;septa"-, replied
the speaker. "I mean a private' bill,
tut the trouble is 'any bill would carry
a vote tiE censure." He did not favor
the formation of a third party. The
Only men vrho did( not wanti temperance
in politics were 'timid voter, the heel-
ers and the party bosses. His advice
Was to look for a, man in the political
;majority to pledge himself to the ab-
olition of the bar, but if they could
,. net get him there tif get one in the
minority party a the siding.
Mr. A. B. Cooper a Clinton, who
was President, said there pas no doubt
but they mustit go into politics. The
liquor party was there. "All ailing%
being equal,'.' he Said, "I would vote
Tory, but I cannot go with them at
