TO THE ELECTORS
OF CENTRE: HURON
hT- The Liberal Party of Centre Huron have chosen Mr. John M. Govenlock,
Reeve of McKillop, as their Candidate for the Legislature in oppOsition
to the Hearst Government. The ,only way to check the. extravagance and
wastefulness, coupled -with inneficiency which have for years been exhibited
in Provincial affairs, is •to. turn the Government out.
In 1904, the last year the Liberals were in, power in Ontario, I the
Provincial expenditure was $5,267,453. For 1918 it. was $15,406,192, after
deducting an item of $2,054,212, in connection with war expenditure. This
means that the expenditure has trebled under the Conservative Govern-
ment. Still worse the public debt of the Province has increaired from
11,700,651 in 1.904 to $75,645,917, in 1918.
The, Opposition have protested in vain against the teckless spending
and borrowing of the Government.
Mr. Proudfoot, the late member of the riding, complains of unfair
treatment from the Liberals Of Centre Huron, because they 'disapproved of
some of hi actions. - No Liberal disputes Mr. Proudfoot's right to doas
. ke pleases in his private • capacity, but his course as • a _representative of
the people is always open to criticisra, or ReptesentatiVe' Government is.
a Mockery. Mr. Proudfoot stayed with the Liberal Patty until the Pro-
vincial Liberal Convention in June last failed to eleot.him as leader, after
which he stated that he would never again attend a 1.Ther 1 meeting. He
is now running practicallyas a Tory Candidate. •
The truth of the matter is that for some year .(long "before the split
of 1917) there had been growing dissatisfaction with Mr. Proudfoot as
the Representative of this Riding. His ac!tions have been too much swayed
bi Toronto influences. We want a Man for member who will reptesent
Centre Huron. Toronto has ten or eleven _members of its own.
Mr. Proudfoot went out of his way in 1917 to . support the Unien
Government. whose Franchise Act was an insult to, 75 • per cent, of the
women of this Province. The women of Centre Huron. who were considered
not patriotic enough to be allowed to vote in the elction of 1917, owe it ,
to their self respecteto reprove the grossly unfair and undemocratic manner
su which that election was coralurted:
1•••••••111=1•10.1•1111
Mr. Govenlock stands fairly on the Liberal platform on Prohibition,
.0 Governmental economy, a Fair Franchise Law, 'Taxation: Reform, Pro-
portional Representation, suitable Provision, for Returned Soldiers, and
especially for the dependents of killed or disabled soldiers and an active
intelligent interest in problems relating to Labor and Agrieulture.
As a member of the McKillop township council and Huron County
Council for, the last 13 years, he has a thorough acquaintance with the
Municipal Problems which are coutihually coming before the Legislature.
ske a 'member of the County Council Mr. Govenloc was a leader in the
Patriotic programme, which gave our county such a splendid War Record.
His pesenal sacrifices in the war include a son and a on -in-law killed while
fighting in the ranks. As a citizelp., and as a publicrepresentative he has
done his duty well and the 'electors of this Riding will make no mistake
Bi sending him to represent them in the Legislature. ,

E Your vote and influence earnestly solicited for Andrew Ti E.
Mate -one's actions. Suck was the
ertuatiort in the summer of 1917.
The Conservative and Liberal parties
had not up. to the formation of the
Union Government done all they might
have to work in unity in prosecuting
the war, and in many quarters partye
feeling had grown bitter.. A change
was absolutely necessary if • we hoped
to give adequate assistance. It was
finally decided to form a Union 'Gov-
ernment. Like many others, I was
anxious to see this accomplished with-
out friction and by the united effort
of all parties. and with a speCial de-
sire that the Liberal's should have a
. prominent place in the nation's work.
Unfortunately for Liberalism and the
country parties did not fully unite,
and: with A large number of 'Liberals,
I found myself advocating a different
policy. to that of our Leader. I had
for fotty years taken a somewhat
prominent part in the counsels of the
Liberal party, and it was with deep
sorrow and regret- I found myself in
a pOsition of opposition. -
Believing as I did that the interests
of my country were at stake, I did
not hesitate to follow the course dic-
tated, by,my conscience. 'In doing so
I knew it would cause trouble for me
in thefuture and' I was to a cer-
tain extent taking my political life
in xny hands. Subsequent events
showed that my surmise was correct.
The Executive of the Centre Huron
Liberal Association.in February, 1918,
passed a tesohltion of censure on my
actions, and this was followed by a
-similar motion, at the Annual Meet-
ing in May.
- I was also sensured because I had
voted. for. the -extension of the life of
th'e Legislature. I so voted • because
I did not, think it was in the best
interests of the country to bring on
an election during the war. Before
taking this question 1113 in the House,
I had a meeting of the Liberal Op-
position and was by their unanimous
voice directed as to the course to pur-
sue. I suggested an extension, and
it was arranged. for. I am still of
the opinion that the course agreed to
was correct. I have no regrets nor
apology to offer, nor do I desire to
shirk responsibility for my actions.
I also, .I believed, in • exercising my
judgment on both questions, I was
acting strictly in accordance yip the
principles of true Liberalism„whieh
means if- it means anything, that a
man has la right to exercise his opinion
according. to the dictates of his con-
science. Our ancestors fought and bled '
for this !right. . Why then should I
have been found fault with ?.I thought,
and still think. I was unfaiily dealt
with and that in passing said resolu-
tions a true principle of Liberalism
had been departed from and something
akin to Prussianisin resorted to.
Under., the circumstances, I could
not see my way clear to again offer
myself as a candidate for re-election
as a party candidate. I, therefore, at
the solicitation of many friends who
desired to again see me in the Leg-
islature, decided to ruo as an Inde-
pendent Candidate untramelled by the
views of any political party. If elect-
ed, I believe with my past experience
I can be of more assistance to the
Province than an untried man par-
ticularly where, many complicated
questions will be dealt with in the
near future by the Legislature.
• Some of the outstanding questions
are:
in which I am specially. interested in
lst. The Temperance Question.—
While this subject has to a certain'
extent been removed from party pol-
itics, yet it. has not been entirely so,
and .it. is incumbent on us to use our
best endeavors to see that The Ontaric,
Temperance Act is sustained by a
large majority, so that those in
authority will understand that there
must be no 'trifling. We should also
see that the usefulness of the Act is
untrammelled by a majority vote' in
favor of questions 2, 3 and 4. After
having accomplished this, the proper
and efficient carrying out of the Will
of the people as ascertained by the
referendum vote is of vital importa.nce
and win call for the exercise of great
care, skill and judgment.
2nd, Soldier's Re-eetablishment—
This should be made effective and snit -
able provision secured for the families
of these killed, the disabled and in-
jure,d and such other assistance by
• gratuity Or otherwise given as the
funds and credit of the Province will
permit.
3rd. Hydro Electric.—I have al-
ways taken strong ground in favor
of this project. The Association which
has been so successful and so ably
ananaged should be continued as at
present controlled, , with, however,
more representation by the nuinicipal-
ities'on the Board. The hydro ehould al-
so be encouraged and assisted to ac-
quire every possible horse power in the
Province, so that power will be made
available at a minirnem cost to every
urban and rural resident of the Prov -

meeting you, I take this opportunity of
introducing myself- and soliciting -your
-support 1 have lived in the Centre
Riding of Huron for over forty-five
years, and during nineteen years of
this thsie I was in municipal office,
being thirteen years Reeve of Grey
Township and one year Warden of
the County,.
Belieying the Partyism is as un-
necessary in the Legislature as it is
in the Council, I accepted a nomina-
tion from the United Farmers of
Centre- Huron. In this acceptance 16
did not bind myself nor was I even
asked to work in the interests of the
farmers as a class, but am allowed
more freedom than if I were a nominee
of either of the old political parties.
The legislation desired by the U.
F. 0. is not class legislation but mass
legislation.
In 'view of the large' Provincial' an
Federal debts, economy along all line
of public expenditure is ,necessary
Only productive ehterprises should b
considered. Though good Toads ar
necessary, yet having regard to th
condition of the labor . and moue
markets such works as Provincia
highways should- not be undertaken-.
The abolition. of the patronage eys
ten not only would be economical bu
would result in the lessening of cen
tralization of power and the return of
more control of local and public
_affairs to the people. "
,As the U. P. O. is strongly in
favor of temperance legislation, a
favorable voth en the coming refer-
endum is very desirable to assist in
enforcing the legislation.
Youts respectfully, "

THE FIGHT IS ON .
Seaforth, October 14, 19/9,
And it is the same old foe, the
liquor trait*, camouflaged so that it
is scarcely recognizable, but -on, that
account all the snore dangerous a foe.
What did we think of the Germans
when. they placed our friends in the
trent line to cover „their, advances?
The liquor traffic is ,doing the slime,
thing now. 'They dare not face us'
in the open biSi hide behind Ebert*
benevolence and philanthroPy. How
they pretend to love these things now
-and tell us if we shoot we will Inert
our friends. They don not really care
for these things, but many honest mesa
and women who do care for them, may
be tempted by their false representas-
tions to vote so that the traffic will
get a foothold in our province again.
We have heard it said that the liquor
traffic hasn't a 1pg to stand on now,
'but it can still crawl like the serpent,
and at present it is coverhig a lot of
ground in that way and with its clever
lies is ternpting many votes te the
destruction of the best interests of
their country.
It has been driven out of the ()pea
bar trench and professes great Idisgust
with the bar, yet we are urged to
vote "yes" to questions 1 and 31 which
would mean open bars if a majority -
,voted thus. They say the poor work-
ing man nee1s stronger beer and
'having to pay for a doctor's prescrip-
tionshould 'be abI to get liquor without

Work some good hearted voters with
these pleas. A greet mew seem tc

us watch the results of this plan being
followed.' - .
In the first iilaee it would throw
a cloak of respectibility over the sale
of liquor. No one would feel asham-
ed to go into a government shop and
buy liquor, and we. as a eeople, would
be in the ;traffic and would be respons-
ible for the results which might foie '
Iow this sale ,of liquor. A man goes
into a government store and buys a
sealed package containing liquor,
which he drinkL Strange to say it
has the same effect on him that it
used to have when he bought it over
one of those horrid, out of date bars.
He goes home and abuses his wife and
family. Will it help them to know
that the liquor came out of an - em-
inently respectable government sealed
package? . .
Another man drinks it, jumps into
his auto and feeling as if the whole
road belongs to him, speeds along.

Miss McIver's paper on stimulating
pupils to work was certainly good
advice to those liresent, Cheerfulness
in the school room, coin ined with
firmness, makes success.' ourage-
ra'ent is what counts.
The lectures given by A. Stephen-
son B.A.Paed., were masterpieces, in-
teresting the teachers from start to
finish No teacher there had anything
but praise for the excellent way in
which he handled" his poetryt selec-
tions. RiS principles of teaching are
so broad that they include all the
best that is in the work.
The subject of teacher's safeties
was taken up by Dr. Field and F. T.
Fowler. The salarilis of teachers are
increasing graduallV year by: year.
I:raring the last year very few teachers
in the inspectorate were receiving as
low as $600, while many were getting
$800 arid 000. Mr. Fowler spoke on
the possibilities of the profession from.
a , moral standpoint and the training
of students to take their place As citi-
zens of this great country. The fol-
lowing resolutions were heartily en-
dorsed:

by Mr. Bouck. The writing of schools
in most cases should be improved.
Numerous examples' of hand writing
were passed about the room. The
next subject was that of A Practical
Education, which Was dealt with by
Mr. Posliff,- of Winghem. This was
e good address, full of ideas valuable
to the teachers of future Canadian
citizens, Miss McKinnon gave a paper
on the use of paper and sciesors in
the school room. She showed' that
this was excellent study for' junior
pupils and very beneficial for the'
studies that come after. Children in
this way can be taught many useful
studies.. A very instructive address
was given by Mr. S. B. Stothers on
school fairs. He warned the teachers

Children ehould have more instruction
regarding' their exhibits.- His address

dent'e address by Mr, George- Jeffer-
son.

new schoeis are built, it would not do

THE FIGHT IS ON .
Seaforth, October 14, 19/9,
And it is the same old foe, the
liquor trait*, camouflaged so that it
is scarcely recognizable, but -on, that
account all the snore dangerous a foe.
What did we think of the Germans
when. they placed our friends in the
trent line to cover „their, advances?
The liquor traffic is ,doing the slime,
thing now. 'They dare not face us'
in the open biSi hide behind Ebert*
benevolence and philanthroPy. How
they pretend to love these things now
-and tell us if we shoot we will Inert
our friends. They don not really care
for these things, but many honest mesa
and women who do care for them, may
be tempted by their false representas-
tions to vote so that the traffic will
get a foothold in our province again.
We have heard it said that the liquor
traffic hasn't a 1pg to stand on now,
'but it can still crawl like the serpent,
and at present it is coverhig a lot of
ground in that way and with its clever
lies is ternpting many votes te the
destruction of the best interests of
their country.
It has been driven out of the ()pea
bar trench and professes great Idisgust
with the bar, yet we are urged to
vote "yes" to questions 1 and 31 which
would mean open bars if a majority -
,voted thus. They say the poor work-
ing man nee1s stronger beer and
'having to pay for a doctor's prescrip-
tionshould 'be abI to get liquor without
thins The traffic has made many et.
rich . man poor, and ruined many a
poor man's home but, they expect ta
Work some good hearted voters with
these pleas. A greet mew seem tc
think it would be O. good thing to
liCtf3 "Yee to the laet questionsseLet
us watch the results of this plan being
followed.' - .
In the first iilaee it would throw
a cloak of respectibility over the sale
of liquor. No one would feel asham-
ed to go into a government shop and
buy liquor, and we. as a eeople, would
be in the ;traffic and would be respons-
ible for the results which might foie '
Iow this sale ,of liquor. A man goes
into a government store and buys a
sealed package containing liquor,
which he drinkL Strange to say it
has the same effect on him that it
used to have when he bought it over
one of those horrid, out of date bars.
He goes home and abuses his wife and
family. Will it help them to know
that the liquor came out of an - em-
inently respectable government sealed
package? . .
Another man drinks it, jumps into
his auto and feeling as if the whole
road belongs to him, speeds along.

Miss McIver's paper on stimulating
pupils to work was certainly good
advice to those liresent, Cheerfulness
in the school room, coin ined with
firmness, makes success.' ourage-
ra'ent is what counts.
The lectures given by A. Stephen-
son B.A.Paed., were masterpieces, in-
teresting the teachers from start to
finish No teacher there had anything
but praise for the excellent way in
which he handled" his poetryt selec-
tions. RiS principles of teaching are
so broad that they include all the
best that is in the work.
The subject of teacher's safeties
was taken up by Dr. Field and F. T.
Fowler. The salarilis of teachers are
increasing graduallV year by: year.
I:raring the last year very few teachers
in the inspectorate were receiving as
low as $600, while many were getting
$800 arid 000. Mr. Fowler spoke on
the possibilities of the profession from.
a , moral standpoint and the training
of students to take their place As citi-
zens of this great country. The fol-
lowing resolutions were heartily en-
dorsed:
I.—That the thanks of the Teacher's
Institute be extended to the town of
Seaforth for the welcome' extended
to them.

wish to express their appreciation of
