THE HURON EXPOSITOR
wants any changes in our system ief
'Government 'except perhaps a change
in the name of the party that is do-
ing the governing. So you will -ob-
serve the old parties are gradually
drawing together to resist the offens-
ive of the comen enemy. If they
can crush him they'll get out again
and fight among themselves for the
spoils of office with all their old en-
thusiasm. But if they caflt crush
him their alliance may be prolonged
into a permanency.
Reference to that Colchester seat -
reminds me that the bye -elections are
coining on—on the easy easy payment
plan. St. John, N. B., asid Colchester,
N. B., come first. They're the safest
Unionists seats in sight. That's Why
their occupants were 'elevate -de to the
Cabinet. Hon. R.z W. Wigmore ap-
pears to have a cinch. "Wig," as he
was familiarly known to the "bbys"
in Rom 16, is neither an orator nor
a statesman. Ten years or so ago he
was driving a milk wagon and the
one 'best 'guess is that he drove it
well and was mighty popular along
his route. He brought his popularity
to Ottawa when °his voice was more
frequently heard in choruses on divis-
ion nights than in the debates in the
House. He ornamented a back bench,
for he's a good-looking chap. Also
he had a fair share of that scarcest
r of all things at Ottawa, hardi common

SEAFORTH, Friday, Sept. 24, 1920.
WILL THE OLD PARTIES UNITE?
'(Continued from page 1)
Lapointe and try to forget a certai
-Grit convention at which they mad
a mistake in choosing a leader. How
ever, the Boy Leader may dance hi
way into Parliament. Since the lad
voter was turned loose in the land
-the man who tries to guess an elec-
tion is no better than a weather
prophet.
One man however hasn't been heard
from since the House closed. That's
Boss Farmer T. A. Crerar. He was
an afflicted man during the session
First blood poisoning and then boil
came his way. If you think he w
happy, turn back and read the Boo
of Job. So soon as the session wa
over he hiked for his "shack" at Lak
of the Woods and. proceeded to la
in a new stock of health. So far a
noise goes he is there yet.

sense. He's under no -delusions. He
• knows that it was his safe seat rather
than his mental equipment that
carried him into the Cabinet, so he
hastened back home and made the
sort of speech that makes the New
Brunswick elector get into the booth
and vote.
• "St. John has never got- what was
s coming to her at Ottawa," was the
burden of his song. "But she'll get
IC it now or you'll hear something
a drop."
e You'll probably recollect that the
Y great Winter Port has for sometime
8 had a deal on with the Dominion Gov-
ernment for the latter to take over
St. John's docks. That deal hasn't
been completed yet. It seems fairly
safe to predict that it won't be com-
pleted till after the bye -elections. It
is also reasonably safe to predict that
Mr. Wigmore will be elected to. look
after a few of the important details.
Anyway things look so rosy for
"Wig" that Hon. Dr. Pugsley, who
thought of stepping down from the
Lieutenant Governor's dais to run
against him, has changed his mind.
"Sweet William" may decide to re-
turn to Parliament atthenext gen-
eral election but for the present—
well, he doubtless thinks he owes it
to • his country to wear the honors
with which she has crowned him for
yet a little longer.
Hon. F. B. McCurdy has. a rather
different proposition. Colchester has
been always looked on as a safe Tory
seat but at the recent provincial 'elec-
tions it Underwent a change of heart
and elected a couple of farmers, Mr.
McCurdy is a substantial sort of
chap whose string of brokers' offices
testify to his ability as a business
man. But he's hardly likely to
stampede a hostile electorate into
voting for him. If the Parliament
building were burned while he was
making a speech there wouldn't be
many fatalities. It has been said
that he could read a wedding notice
and make it sound like an obituary.
But he . has an abundance of this
world's goods, he is said to be a good
administrator and he gives good din-
ners. There are also mill owners
down there with influence and a vac-
ant seat in the senate that one or
more of them might fancy. On the
whole you have to concede Mr. Mc-
Curdy a -chance.
And if the Meighen Government
can elect both its new Ministers won't
it have a mandate from the people to
carry on for a year or two longer?
Won't it then be in a positien to look
on with a degree of equanitnity, while
a Farmer is hammering the life out
of its candidate in East Elgin? And
can't it smilingly watch J. Hon. Burn-
ham being re-elected in West Peter-
boro even if J. Ham did resign as a
protest against the Government's re-
fusal to bring on a general election?
As for Yale, B. C., vacated by Hon.
Martin Burrill called to other fields
of usefulness, it should' send along a
Unionist to mix in with the last two,
So you see the bye -election outlook
is not so dark from a Government
standpoint as it might have been. It
would have to be a lot worse to
make the Meighen Government take
the responsibility throwing the' coun-
try into the horrors of a general 'elec-
tion.
But halre you missed Hon. Wesley
Rowell? He has gone out from
among us leaving hardly a ripple on
the political waters. When the date
of refere-ndum vote was postponed
from October to April someone may
have suspected that Hon. Wesley was
not at Ottawa. He isn't either though
nobody seems to know for certain
just where 116 has gone. One report
says that he is on his way to South
Africa. Anyway he is taking a well-
earned rest and :the country is enjoy-
ing it.—By J. K. Munro, in MacLean s,
But because their leader hasn't been
giving an imitation of a brass band,
don't think the Farmers haven't been
Vey. Nova Scotia, which was thought
to be impervious to improved styles
in politics surprised the world by
sending a presentable Farmer delega-
tion to the Provincial legislature.
Later reports from authentic sources
are to the effect that the Farmer
-movement is sweeping over the Blue-
-nose province like a prairie fire. FromL
Quebec too come reports that Farmer
meetings are being held in all
corners of the home of the habitant.
Moreover anxious eyes are on Caron,
the Provincial Minister of Agricul-
ture. How long will he continue to
serve under Premier Taschereau?
How soon will he cut the strings that
-bind him to a Government he despises
.and go out on his own as a leader of
the French Farmer hosts?
Quebec is torn to shreds politically.
There is a Gouin faction, a Bureau -
Lapointe faction and a Fitzpatrick
faction. There is also a Farmer fac-
tion aborning. At the next general
-election a. bold attempt will be made
to reunite them all under a banner
;bearing th,e inscription: "Quebec is
waiting for her day."
If the province can be stampeded
by fervid French speeches and ET-
-peals to stand by to protect the
:French language it may send a solid
.delegatien. to Ottawa under the com-
mand of Bureau and Lapointe. But
this popular pair have crafty oppon-
ents in Sir Lomer Gouin and Sir
Charles Fitzpatrick. The two latter
:are liable to put a spoke in their
wheel and if out of the ensuing wreck
youshould see emerge a horny -fisted
-delegation headed by M. Caron don't
be surprised.
And if Quebec goes Farmer or
partially Farmer you can guess the
rest. The Farmer -Labor forces will
control the next Parliament and form
the next Government. Some people
will tell you the Farmer movement
is dying out. Listen to them patient-
ly and then go your way and look
.around for where they got their in-
formation. It emanates from the
same influences that are keeping Hon.
Arthur Meighen in his place and pro-
eriding him with a Cabinet. There
are more Farmer voters in this coun-
try to -day than there were a year
ago. There will be more a year from
to -day than there are now. They've
just begun to feel their power and
like. wolves who have tasted blood
they're ravenous for more, The
wisest of them iill admit that no
-Farmer Government—no purely class
Government—could hope to be per-
manent. But with the after -the -war
feeling in the political air they know
that any party that represents a
new order of things has a chance to
get far enough and last long.`enough
to leave its mark on the body politic.•
They have hepes, some of them, of
driving the two old parties into one
and forming a permanent people's
party in opposition to it.
Nor would it appear that their
hopes are entirely groundless. They
had an election in Manitoba the other
day that left Premier Norris and his
Liberal forces a bit curtailed as to
numbers. The Opposition was divid-
ed into groups but taken as a whole
it was too numerous for the comfort
and safety of the Government.
Premier Norris was forced 'to look
around for help and he is even said
to have extended an olive branch to
his ancient enemies, the Tories. Of
course there were obstacles in the
way. One of them was the fact that
most of the Liberals had secured
their own elections by pledging their
support to the Farmer candidate in
the next Federal election. But
Premier Norris did not despair. He
was a speaker at the Portage picnic
that welcomed Premier Meighen back
to his old home town. Moreover he,
a little later, spent a week in Ottawa,
where he had frequent and friendly
interviews with the Unionist chief—
interviews that the Farmers watched
with rather suspicious eyes.
Then. there's that Colchester elec-
tion. down in Nova Scotia. Prominent
Liberals from down by the sea pre-
dict the election of Hon. F. 13. Mc-
Curdy in tones of satisfaction. They
are getting afraid of the Farmer up-
rising—afraid that it will develop in-
to a landslide that will play hob with
thing's age they are. And no well -
ordered Liberal of the old school
TUCKERSMITH
Foetballe—Football circles during
the past few weeks have been agog
through interest being centred in the
several fairly evenly contestedgames
between •the Seaforth and Tucker -
smith clubs. The two games recent-
ly played on the Recreation grounds
resulted in favor of the Tuckersmith
club. During the first game a neat
play was witnessed on the part of
the township club wherein three
kicks did the needful in scoring a
surprise goal in which the town boys
did not get a look -sea at the ball,
when McGeoch kicked off to McMil-
lan who passed it to Wright and by
a neat header the ban found the goal.
The home team played good ball for
the first half but the visitors had the
game at their feet from start to
finish and McGeoch scored the remain-
ing goal. Even the strong play of
Beattie, the Royal City expert, was
ineffective in preventing the telling
combination of the neeraRes frau'
winning. Tiny and Daws. Reid were
the bright lights for Seaforth and a
noticeable feature was that Wright was
not in: his old Brucefield Rover farm.
In the second game Bob McKay, as
substitute for McMillan, put up a
great game for Tuckersmith, scoring
0
in the first 'half, but the tenni was
weak through the loss of McMillan
and Wright being unable to play.
Hyslop , and Mayor starred in the
second game. The home team is still
full of pep and have issued a third
challenge for, the trophy. This has
been accepted by the township boys
who will play their victorious line-up
'as follows: Goal, J. Ilawthorne,•
'full backs, J. McIvor. R. Hislop half
backs, A. McMillin, A. Nichol-
son., A. Kenn ; forwards, P. Ches-
%
ney.' W. Wrig " R. McGeoch. J. Mc-
Millan and P. oig. The Seaforth
club will require to guard its laurels
in this game and cannot afford to
take Tuckersmith as pie, even though
they played the I. T, A. with the
Kinburn lodge. Dublin has also chal-
lenged! the Tuckersmith club which
has been accepted. When the Gaelic
boys meet the Sinn Feiners the Craw-
ford cup spectators will witness wigs
on the -green.

A Good Play.—The Hensall Ob-
server of last week had the following
nice things to say about the play,
"The Minister's Bride," recently given
in the Hensall town hall • by the
young people of St. Andrew's church:
"A well filled, house 'greeted the
young people of St. Andrew's Pres-
byterian church, Kippen, on Thursday
evening last in the t wn hall, when
they put on. the play,' The Minister's
Bride." About twenty young people
took part and they -deserve .a great
dea lof credit for the way in which
they took their parts. This is the
fourth time they have given this play
and where it has been presented they
have been greeted with a good house.
Among those who took a prominent
part were: Mr. Wilfred. Mellis, who
took the part of the minister. The
young people made no mistake ip
choosing Mr. Mellis for this part, for
he made an excellent minister. Messrs
Albert Alexander, Robt. Elgie, Jas.
Bowey and Wm. Kyle also took their
parts creditably. Special mention
might be made of the Scotch recita-
tion given by Mr. Alexander, Mr,
Cliff Martin, of London, who trained
the young people, delighted the
audience with his humorous stories
and especially with his reading of th'e
poem, written by Robt, Service, en-
titled "Laddie My Lad." Miss Belle
Forsythe, as the niinister's bride, took
her part well. Mise Etta McKay's
solos were very pleasing. The various
characters taken by the Misses Ethel
Elgie, Edith Bowey, Jean McLean,
Margaret McLean and Anna Bell
McLean, dressed in old fashioned cos-
tumes, brought forth much applause.
The concert was enjoyed by all, and
should these young people again come
to Hensel', we can bespeak for them
a crowded house."

zen of our country. Trusting that
you may yet be spared for many
years of such useful service and pray-

to get results is to use plenty of
printers' ink and that The Expositor
ink is the best.—Mr. 'Phomas Kyle's
