Bright. • A very enjoyable evening is assured. GENERAL ADMISSION - 25 CENTS no such thing as a Unionist party outside of the House of Commons. The by-elections proved that beyond a doubt. The Unionist party is dead but it goes on talking, in, its last, long 616353 070' sleep. It expects to keep on talking • -until 1922, after which it will give up 356. 80 329 6 the ghost. What will emerge from 121 75 104 11 its grave? The stalwarts say the • 80 45 74 1 Conservati-Ve party which still has • 50 • 30 45 4 some kick in it although Rowell and • 16'7 65 151 Hearst have done their best to make an inside job of murdering 774 29 703 . The Conservative- party feels very 6 sore at Mr. Rowell as the chief assas- sin and at Premier .Borden as his blundering accomplice. It is agreed 178 36 167 3 that Premier Borden is finished, but Mr. Rowell's future is still in doubt. One thing is certain -his future will not 'be with the Conservative party. 5/. A It may be with the Independent Labor 104 206 9 Party where Mr. Rowell's newspaper 62 201 friends have been driving a nail for 75 '147 9 him to hang his hat on but it will not be with his present associates from • 831 292 733 either of his old flocks. Mr. Rowell -Will be the otie that is "out on the hills away." unless he can find a fold of his own. Another grudge the Conservative party bears Mr. Rowell, is prohibition: The Conservative party, take it by and large, is not the Uplift party. On • 629 the contrary it rather suspects Uplift and is inclined to impart ulterior • 248 '77 21'7. 11 motives to those politicians who make 182 110 164 4 Uplift their career. Truth to tell thio 188 59 18Q •0 frame of mind seems to be reflected 245 89 226 17 by the general public which usually 141 110 127 10 votes for the good cause, but throws 243 116 211 6 the man or the party who tries to ride 95 72 84 7 it. Ontario did that very thing unto tIVIr. Rowell and his party in 1914 and repeats the performance with Sir William Hearst he this year of grace, 1919. There is no reason to suppose that the political party which tries 3 3 4 the same trick on a larger scale • n Yes NO Yes No the federal arena will fare any better. 71 413 94 379 For this reason alone if for no other, 193 831 292 733 Mr. Rowell and his hobby are not wel- 62 629 85 606 come to the Conservative party which 514 1342 633 1209 has no desire to perish for his further 91 1197 171 1117 glory. The lesson, as the Conserv- 147 920 229 838 `atiyes see it, is that they must have 316 616 353 570 an affinfative policy. No party can 22 774 295 703 live merely by negotions and Uplift. . 3 The affirmative policy of the Conserv- 2152 6155 atives will probably be high tariff plus an extensive development of Canada's natural and industrial resources. Most of the criticsm of the farmers' mdvement comes from the Conserva- No. 4 tive party which .refuses to believe that Jim Calder invented it forhis Yes No own special purposes. The farmer's 1332 .633 1209 movement is like Topsy-it Jes' grow - 871 253 809 ed and the earth it grew in was the 831 292 733 reciprocity election of 1911, which' 774 295 702 demonstrated to the farmers that if they wanted anything they must strike, 143 776 164 '753 out and' get it for themselves. The 71 43133 94 389 movement completely obliterated the 66 3 93 306 old parties in the United States Middle 75 283 95 • 263 West. From that source it spread a - 3t 165 49 151 cross the border and now all Canada 28 171 35 164 has to reckon with it. Some 'of the more sanguine Conser- vatives claim that the farmers, being landholders, small capitalists and small manufactures, belong to the Conser- vative party and that their alliance with the working man in. -Ontario is an unnatural alliance of long hours and short, high prices and low, -a dis- 235 212 9 73 408 . 71 413 CLINTON 40 101 71 • 239 62 248 51 213 46 . 217 60 165 53 169 222 808 193 COLBORNE 14 202 14 202 14 22 93 20 95 21 17 233 17 233 15 • 14 96 15 96 • 12 67 624 105 189. 89 118 48 • 192 71 • t 244. 91 146 82 245 54 106 540 Question - 'Towns Goderich Winghana Clinton Seaforth Villages Exeter Brussels Hensall Blyth Bayfield Wroxeter Townships A shfield Colborne Goderich Grey Hay Howick ,Hullett Morris McKillop Stephen Stanley Turnberry Tuckersmith Usborne Wawanosh, East Wawanosh, West Totals Majorities 1300 1 Yes 60 198 67 540 87 • 141 221 198 • 1512 66 626 62 GODERICH • 48 246 62 100 172 94 57 183 50 '79 236 70 103 134 96 94 233 - 84 59 96 58 94 379 202 235 98 20 27 21 17 85 • 196 88 229 e93 606 5 2 6 1 540 1300 514 1342 633 1209 RECAPITULATION 2 NO Yes No '412 73 408 830 222 808 • 624 66 626 1300 540 1300 1201 101 1187 926 •156 911 707 308 620 '799 232 '765* 6799 1698 6625 1617 6,722 OFFICIAL REFERENDUM RETURNS HURON COUNTY No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 Yes • , No Yes No Yes No 540 1307 - 540 1300- 514 170 892 198 864 191 198 830 222 808 193_ 198 799 232 765 223 133 '70 65 74 37 23 191 67 85 87 519 141 141 105 221 306 132 82 154 70 55 95 787 412 334 284 163 176 979 624 759 1201 731 1297 926 907 707 1170 695 '768 '- 888 902 686 772 147 73 67 78 39 24 66 96 101 547 162 156 122 308 347 129 96 175 73 59 99 771 408 332 280 161 175 984 625 748 1187 '702 1274 911 , 893 620 1129 697 '754 867 899 682 768 183 62 84 91 545 151 147 120- 312. 339 133 93, 166 79 53 97 987 629 760 1197 704 1288 920 892 616 1137 693 757 876 893 688 770 233 85 154 171 612 245 229 208 353 430 173 141 225 122 84 149 936 606 690 1117 637 1192 838 811 575 1046 653 709 811 850 657 '719 3959 19996 4342 19604 4194 19756 5617 18326 16037 15262 15562 12709. NO KINDLY LIGHT Parliament closes amidst general gloom. The reason, is the Third Party. What is it going to do to the two old-line parties. They were get- ting along fairly well together until the intruder arrived to break up the happy home. In politics as in love the eternal Triangle is a great curse. Members of both parties recognize that 'there is a certain amount of writing on the wall for them im the Ontario election and the federal by- eiections but the Conservative party probably sees more in it than the other fellows because its platform is not built to fit the new conditions. It feels besides that the farmers may well harbor a grudge from 1911 and that the day of'anger is at hand. The Conservative party views the U. F. 0. -Us For Ourselves they christen it -with alarm. East and, West they view it with alarm. It has spread like wild fire. Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island. New Brunswick all seem to have got it. 'the flame may even extend to safe, sane and sober Quebec where the Eastern Town- ships are regarded as the likeliest spot. Already the Liberals speak of fifty Quebec seats in the next Parlia- ment, thus conceding fifteen to the new crusades. Ontario and the prairie West have succumbed. Only British Columbia hangs on and that by the eyebrows, It looks dark for the Conservative party in more ways than one. 1 say it looks dark for the -Conservative party because even the most frenzied cordant partnership which cannot long endure between the hiring and firing class and the hired and fired one. But these reflections fired no action in the breasts of sensible Conserv- atives who look at the advanced plat- • forai of the farmers and protest that they are Liberals- in everything but name. • What's more they do not like the farmer's attitude • toward prohibition and point with alarm to the fact that the first blot out of 'Leader Drury in Ontario is on that, subject which has already done the Conservative party so much harm. The Conservative party is sick, yes even to death of TO SUBSCRIBERS The' date on the green address label on your paper is a state- ment of your subscription ac- count. Will you look at it toe 'day?

McLEAN BROS. Uplift and all the sanctimonious per- sons it, brings in. its train. The Unionist party, has, of courie, decided to draw together for the full tergi, being convinaed that if it doesn't draw -together it will be hanged, drawn and quartered separately. Since the by-elections kicked the Unionist party downstairs four times out of five a couple of weeks ago the Unionist party has known that its fate was sealed. As the little boy said of the apple core, "There ain't goin' to be no Unionist party." It'll be Liberal or Conserva- tive or no party at all. With this prospect in store the Hon. Bob Rogers, as traveling redeemer of the• grand old Conservative party, comes into his own again, as it were, automatically. Automatically also the Big Stick, so often used in the' Unionist caucus - that is to say the threat, "We'll go to the country if you don't stand behind us" -loses its compelling force. The Government went to the country and what the country did to it is almost unfit to print. AniT other time a Union Government goes to the country A Every one who bought Canada, s Victory Bonds Made Money Every one who buys the 1919 issue of Victory Bonds will make money. CANADA'S VICTORY BONDS WILL ALWAYS BE ACCEPTED AS SECURITY FOR A LOAN Banks aie ready, and willing to Loan you money on your Bonds. Canada's Victory Bonds may be turned into cash at any time. There is no other way in which you can invest your money with such absolute security, paying such a high rate of interest. This will in all prob- ability be the last chance you will have to buy Victory Bonds, on such favorable terms. Don't delay, but buy all that you can possibly afford,* Have your mind made up when the Canvasser calls, just how much you are going to take. Canvassers for McKillop -George McKee, Robert Scarlett, Archie McGregor. • Canvassers for Tuckersmith-George N. Turner, Wm. Black, George Layton. Canvassers for Town of-Seaforth-John Beattie, W. E. Kerslake, John 'Rankin, District Chairman. Unionist now admits that there is • tt, otormsomminvoniiiimemormit it goes to hell the same way. So the Big Stick takes another shape now. The formula has been, changed and now it_ runs thus, "If you stand behind us we won't go to the country," which amounts- to the same thing and sounds a great deal better. Any Unionist will tell. you th there is about as much chance of (The . Union Government going to the country be- fore it absolutely has to as there is, of Mr, Rowell plunging headlong inte• the crater of Mount Vesuvius. I have heard a few Liberals speak of the farmers as "little Junkers" but mostly they welcome them as friends and view their advent with temperant joy. They realize that the farmer's movement must run its course -that it is a vast and powerful movement, much more significant than the Pat- rons of industry, and that it portends new adjustments. These adjustments probably mean that the Liberal party takes second place in a coalition party -where it formerly took first. ',In this part the Liberal party has a farmer tail. From now on -perhaps for five or sik years -the Farmer's Party may have a Liberal tail. The main point is that the Liberals and the fanners are natural partners and that some day they must come together. As a matter of fact the Liberal plat, form covers almost everything the farmers ask and if the Liberals in- tend to work at it there is small use for a farmer's party traversing the same ground. In a manner of speak- ing, the farmer's party is a goad to the Liberal party to make good its • promises and if it does make them • good the 11. F. 0. will go the way of all previous farmer's parties -that is to say it will take shelter in the capacious bosom of a Liberal part which is nearest its hearts desire. But before that happens it will pos- sibly do a little ruling at Ottawa -ac- complishing those disagreeable but necessary things which the old parties refused. to do -such a cutting down expenSes, bleeding the profiteers, an firing half the Civil Service. -H.
