• DRCRY 11UNISTERS ELECTED BY
• ACCLAMATION
Sic members of the Drury coali-
tion Government who submitted
themselves for - re-election Monday,
consequent upon having a,ccepted office
were returned by acclamation. The
Mx were Hon. II. C. Nixon, Provin-
cial Secretary; Hon. R. IL Grant,
Minister of ' Education; Hon, Peter
' Smith, Provincial Treasurer; Hon.
Beulah ,Bonenan, Minister of -Lands
and Forests; Hon. F. C. Biggs, Min-
ister of Public Work, and Hon. Walter
Rollo, Minister of Labor and Health.
Acclamations- were expected for all
six, the talk Of opposition to Hon.
Mr. Nixon in North Brant having died
out two weeks ago.
Reports from the ' nomination.
"meetings" show that public interest
was lacking.At Paris, where Mr.
Nixon was nominated, only half . a
dozen people were present. Only a
few personal friends of Mr. Biggs
attended the nomination meeting for
North Wentworth at Dundas, while
in Hamilton practically only the mover
and seconder and newspaper men were
on hand to hear Hon, Walter Rollo
declared elected. .
During the afternoon Hon. Mr.
Drury received word from Manitoulin
that Hon. Mr. Bowman had been elect-
ed, and from Carlton that Hon. Mr.'
Grant had had no opposition.
There are. still four members of the
Drury Cabinet who must be re-electe
ed, the Prime Minister himself, Hon.
W. E: Raney, Hon. Manning Doherty
and Hon. Mr. Mills. Unless the pro-
-fest against rpiurdoek.. the TJ. F. 0.
member for entre Sfincoe, is drop -
Ped, Hon. Mr. Drury, who had hoped
to run in Siencoe, will probably have
to look elsewhere for a•seat. He will
have little difficulty in finding one,
'since several sitting members are
ready to make way for their leader.
The only chance of Centre Simcoe be-
iiig opened to Mr. Drury in time for
His election before the House meets
would be by a withdrawal of the pro-
test, and this would hardly be done
unless the U. F. 0. protest against
gron. Mr. Ferguson was dropped. So
Per there is no hint that Payne, the
fbrmer Minister's opponent, has any
thought of backing up.
. Although Mr. Raney has received
no definite offer of a seat it is known
that Rev. Edgar Watson,U. F. 0.
Member for North Victoria is ready
ta make way for the Attorney -Genera/
and will probably so express himself
at the U. F. 0. conference this week.
NO seat, however, seems at Hon. Mr.
Doherty's command and the confer-
ence wilI have to give the matter
"earnest consideration." There is no
mason to doubt that a seat will be
found. Hon, Mr. Drury made Mr.
Doherty his cloice, and the farmers
must either find a resting place for
the Minister of Agriculture or de-
clare a -want of confidence in their
leader. .
PLAYING TO THE GALLERY
(By Donald Williams.)
Edmonton, December ,10, 1919.
At this distance it is rather tard
to judge just what will be the out-
come of the political hodplodge in On-
tario. The meagre press reports in
the western papers do not lend to a
thorough understanding of conditions. •
It is hard to understand, however,
that anything so autocratic as gov-
erment by a minority party can be i
lasting or beneficial in a supposedly
democratic country. •
I remember in the old days the de-
feated. pelitical party after _taking
consolation out of the fact thet,,while
they did not have the larger number i
of successful candidates, they did have n
a plurality in the aggregate vote cast. c
But this is a different situation. Here c
ewe have a distinct sect, with both a 'S
mipority of the whole number of a
members that constitute the parlia- o
'tient as well as lacking in the plural- y
ity of votes cast at the polls. This i
is undoubtedly solely government by a
a minority, True. Premier Drury has t
proclaimed that the tf-.- F. 0. is open a
to all comers. In this respect he dif- c
fers from the United Farmers of Al- a
berta, whose leader, Mr. Woods, says J
this organization is ptirely and. truly p
a farmer's sect, with all others de- T
barred. Just how these' two defini- i
tions of U. F. propaganda, the east t
view and the west, will bleed when it o
comes to a federal campaign is hard s
to say. In the meantime all eyes are a
on Ontario, and undoubtedly the sue- T
cess of the farmer's movement in the 1V
different provinces and in the federal M
arena depends on whether the results G
in Ontario are good or ill.
Premier Drury's little. gallery play 11,
in the matter of reducing his own M
salary does not augur well for the M
future. Such petty politics is not con- wi
ducive to confidence, it savors too 1
xnuch of pondering to the petty pe- a
nuriousness that marks the small man. y
It may be that Mr. Drury is a rich M
farmer and can afford to give his ser-
vices for less A; an another man less 0
abundantly eedowed with this M
world's .gbods. fr
If Premier Drury gives to Ontario v7
good, progressive and economical gov- ot
ernment, his worth cannot be measur- in
ed in dollars and cetns, if he is weak, lo

inaugurates class legislation sis op-
posed to legislation for the whole peo-
ple, he is dear at any price, so that
in either ,case it makes little differ-
ence whether he gets a salary of 02000
tor $9.000, and in any event the princ-
iple is bad. -
There is always the cry that it is
impossible to get good men to enter
parliament. . The good men say they
can't afford it. This cheeae paring will
not be a further inducement to good
men. If they could" net afford to de: -
vote their time to the affairS of their
-province for the larger salary, they
are not going to be any more Willing
with the emoluments put to a figure
where it will require petty economic
-
to make both ends meet, and the prov
ince cannot expect men to devote thei
lives to the management of affairs
for nothing. To get good services
they must pay for and the fitst
essential to enlisting the sympathy of
the men who should be at the head of
affairs of the province is to make the
reward sufficiently attractive.
Viewed from any angle Mr. Drury's
first step in political craft does not
mea.sure up to the big man with the
broad outlook, and with his minority
following, anything progressive seems
unlikely. If. of his OW`n free will, he
makes a little saving for the sake of
gallery applause, and no other con-
structions can be placed .= his action
what will he do when harrassed by an
opposition, whose combined streiret
could at any time send' Min back t
the country for -a further mandat

tiness that is fatal to the successfu

Death of W. H. Reynolds. -In our is-
sue of last week, we made mention. of
the very serious illness of Mr. W. H.
Reynolds and this week we regret to
have to chronige his death. . The de-
ceased was a native of England, being
born in. Ainsburg, Bedfordshire, on
October 12th, 1842, and. died at his
home here on ThurSday, December
llth, 1919, On. coming to Canada Mr.
Reynolds first located in London in
1873, later moving to the village , of
Exeter, and finally coming to our vil-
lage of Hensall in 187, very shortly
after the opening up of the London,
Huron and Bruce railway, and con-
tinued to reside here until the time of
his gath. The deceased was a car-
penter by trade and had been a
ing contractor for many years, and

stormiest days, Mr. T. Murdock, our
old established livery proprietor and
rural mail _contractor.. 'took a drive
out on what is anon as Hensall
route 1, which forms one of his three
contracts, to test the strength of the
storm and condition of the roads. As
his many livery duties at home -make
it next to impossible for him to take
a personal run over his routes, your
correspondent at first thought was
inclined to think that he had visions
of the good things that came the way
of the faithful 'couriers over all kinds
of roads and weather conditions, dur-
ing .the near approach of Christmaa4
week, but on second thought we quick-
ly dismissed Such views, knowing that
as a good typical: son of the Emerald
Isle, Mr. Murdock is mor accustomed
of
to give than receive hat may be
termed the "Good Thins" or provi-
sions for the inner man, and would
not like to cut out his trusty and faith-
ful couriers, who plod_ their weary.
long miles ovdr hill and dale in
day and through snow drifts in the
winter months that nearly bury them
out of sight. We are now satisfied
that Mr. Murdock was just giving
evidence that he was made of the
good stuff that could leugh at storms
and bad road conditions, but all the
same he has no burning desire to re-
peat his drive on Tuesday last—Mrs.
James Sparks, who has been away for
some months visiting her daughters,

panied by her d'aughtel, Mrs. G. E.

LIVE STOCK MARKET
. 'Union Stock Yards, Toronto, December 16. -
'The caltle offering this morning was limited
to forty-five hundred head, but it proved more
than the trade could absorb.' After the
heavy buying of top grade stuff at Friday's
sale, buyers to -day seemed indifferent as to
whether they operated or not The result was
a dull market from the atart and as the
day advanced values eased ' off a little in
'practically every section, ,but even the re_
-emsion had but little effeet upon the demand.
.w
A few buyers bo were open to make pur-
chases endeavored to force what the drovers
thought was a half -dollar cat Fort anything
really good, including baby heaves, which
cashed in from 133,1:! to 17 cents,and choice
handy -weight to moderately heavy steers Which
sold from $13 to 314.25, trade was just about
steady. Common to fair killers were 25 to
35 Cents weaker at the close. Good cows and
bulls also were about steady bul other grades
were draggy and weak. Taken as a whole
the market was the slowest experienced on
a Monday at the market for some time.
There was only a very limited demand for
stoekers and feeders, and principally for good
gattle at a shade easier values.Good milkers
and springers were a fair and firm trade.
Lambs were stronger and active -with-Some
cluZice lobs cashing in at 17 cents, and good
lambs up to 161/4 Cents. Good to ohoice veal
ale° were firmer, the pick selling from 21
to 22 cents -per pound in spots. Sheep- and
yeerlings were steady.
The hog market firmed 25 cents which 'ad-
vanoed the quotation this morning to $15,50
f.o.b., 516.50 fed and watered and 316.75
weiethed off cars.
The receipts were 256 carloads, with 4,409
cattle, 500 calves, 3,723 hogs and 2,244 sheep
and kunbs.
