THE HURON En'OSITO
SEAFORTH, Friday, October 7, 1'
i DI'rORIAL NOTIFS AND
COMM EN TS
A rumor has hven ciret lated more
or leas widely during the past couple
•of weeks that Mr. Thomas McMillan
the liberal candidate fur South Hurn
is the forthcoming election, had de-
cided to retire. There is absolutely
no foundation for such a report. Mr.
McMillan was the unanimous choice
of the Liberal convention held at
Hensel' on September 13Th last, and
he is in the contest to stay- There
is nu manner of doubt but that both
the other candidates would like to
see him adopt smelt a course, but
with prospects of victory becoming
brighter every day, why should he?
Moreover, he is not the quitting kind.
Parliament has been dissolved, but
beyond the statement of Mr. Meighen
that the elections would be held the
first week in December, no definite
date has been aet for the elections.
The sooner the date is selected the
beater it will be for the business of
• the country. This, however, will have
very little weight with Mr. Meighen.
tilt
sell leave alettar of rein* for' vi0tory
for the Liberal ddeftain. At any
rate. the seat is not boat nlrt?l aB the
votes are counted on election vlay, and
with a determined trent being put up
by the Liberal organisation inthe
constituency there are very good pro-
spects tar a Liberal viletory.
Prince County (P. E. I.) Liberals
were also anxious to have Mr. King
as their candidate and • promised a
walkover if the Leader ould consent
to be the candidate there. Mr. King,
however, consulted with the' National
Liberal Committee and it was decid-
ed to have the Leader stand io North
York where he had announced his
candidature. A strong and influen-
tial deputation from Prince •County,
had come to Ottawa at their own
expense to ask Mr. King to ]un there
but when his decision to run in North
York was announced, they were the
first to send a telegram of congratula-
tions.
.Another story which the govern-
ment propagandists have bad to
swallow was that of the split among
Quebec Liberate. According to their
views, freely expressed through the
Government organs, there was to be
a wholesale breach among the Que-
bec Liberals, with Sir Loaner Gouin,
lion. R. Lemeeux and a number of
ethers breaking away from the pres-
ent party. The absurdity of such
reports was shown when at the
Lemieux anniversary banquet in Mon-
treal, both Sir Lerner Gouin and Mr.
Lemieux announced, without any hes-
itation
esitation or equivocation that they
were members of the Liberal party,
proud to inchide themselves as such
under the leadership of the roan who
had shown himself so capable of con-
ducting the affairs of the country.
And then, to make the cup of the
eovernuxmt organs more bitter still,
the Deputy Speaker of the House,
George Boivin, announced at Sher-
brrrfCe Oil. all the reports of his
ininine or considering joining the
'leighen government, had been so
much poppycock. The fact that he
eels deputy speaker of the ifauae, had
of course, prevented Mr. Boivin from
making any annoumements until the
prime Minister announced dissolu-
tion and re -organized his cabinet in
preparation for an election, but as
sem as Mr. Boivin could speak he
made it abundantly clear that he was
a Mackenzie Ring Liberal, as are all
Liberals to -day, and that he 'was in
the fight to victory under Mr. King's
i adership.
At the Conservative convention,
held in Hensall on Saturday last,
Mr. J. J. Merner was unanimously
elected to represent that party at the
}
corning elections. Mr, Merner has
represented the South Riding of
Huron for the past two terms. Mr.
ti. George Spotten, of Wingham, will be
the Conservative candidate in North
' Huron.
PARLIAMENTARY LEITER
If there was any doubt as to the
reception awaiting Hon. W. L. Mac-
kenzie King and his Liberal candi-
dates throughout the Dominion, that
dembt nmst have been dispelled by
the splenoid spontaneous we0.rome
given to Mr. King and accompany-
ing spealkers in all the cities which
he has visited since firing the open-
ing gun of his campaign in tire To-
ronto mee%tng which was held in the
constituency of West York. At To-
- ro to the Ravine Rink was crowded
pdi'h persons anxious to hear Mr.
king and Mr. Fielding discuss the
iinportant questions of the day.
Again at Montreal, two days later, an
immense crowd gathered in the
Arena rink to hear Mr. King, Sir
Lower Gouin, Hon. R. Lomioux,
Premier Taschereau and others up-
held the principles of Liberalism. At
Sherbrooke, the next evening, thous-
ands of citizens stood on the side-
walks to cheer the Liberal leader as
he drove in an automobile at the
head of a long parade, from the sta-
tion to His Majesty's theatre which
was packed to the doors by electors
who were anxious to hear Mr. King,
Dr. Boland, George Boivin and other
speakers.
Perhaps the finest demonstrations
of public interest in Liberalism were
given when the Liberal Leader reach-
ed Amherst, N. S., and Truro on
Saturday evening. Although only
notified at noon that Mr. King would
pass through the city, the citizens of
both cities had arranged a demonstra-
tion in his honor. Headed by a brass
band, nearly two thousand persons
had gathered at the stations and on
the arrival of the train they demand-
ed that Mr. King use the few mom-
ents available, while the train stood
in the station, to address them. In
each city Mr. King delivered a splen-
did fighting speech, being cheered to
the echo at its conclusion.
'Phe Liberal Leader was loudly
cheered as he told of the fight made
by the Liberal Opposition in the House
' and out of it to secure for the peo-
ple their rights from an autocratic
, government. Not satisfied with hold-
ing off the election until a tune suit-
, able to its own ends, the government
took a new step in autocracy by an -
bouncing through the Prime Minister
that there world be clissolution and
then refusing to give the people in-
formation as to the date of the elec-
tion until it was perfectly ready ta
leo so. That the people had a right
to that information mattered not to
the. Prime Minister, who paid no at-
tention to the fact that business was
being held up while he made hie trio
to the West. Until dissolution was
announced and the merchants and
Millers knew the date of the election,
there would inevitably be restricted
business, Mr. King showed his audi-
ence, but such things as that made
.-t no difference to Mr. Meighen.
The Government Propaganda artist
:•- who assured his readers that the lead-
er of the Liberal party had made up
bis mind to run away from a cam-
paign in North York has had a hard
time squaring his arguments this
week. Mr. King announced in Mon-
treal that he was a candidate in
North Yor9c and Was in the fight
to win. That totem] has

to, Andrew Ricks, M.P.P. In the suc-
ceeding epeeelies, J• J: Caldwell, Mrs.t
Gleam, John Levert, G. W. L.ytofl
and Ed. Wolper announced with-
drawal., The first ballot was taken
on the names of Mr. Black, F. Cough-
lin, E. Hktrdan.an, W. G. Medd, Robt,
J. McMillan, Ed. Pooley, J. N. Rat-
cliffe, W. D, Sanders, J, • H. Scott,
William Turnbull and George Turn-
bull. The secmd contained the names
of Means. Black, Medd, Ratcliffe,
Scott and Turnbull. After which
Ratcliffe and Turnbull dropped out.
A curious feature of the five minute
addresses was the introduction by
several speakers of references to
prohibition as an issue. Ed. Wainer
of Ray, the final speaker, used his
five minutes to protest.
"The temperance question was dis-
cussed when we voted on it," he said,
"and no man has a right to come and
make any such statements here to-
day. (Applause). I bel ievaas that
man is ag office seeker and fleshing
else" (Applause).
Mr. Walper added: "Have an hon-
est man to start off with, and we
don't need any recall."
William Turnbull reported that
"half the fine farms that used to be
around Henaall and Exeter are now
in grass, and half the remainder are
hotbeds of noxious weeds." The cause
of this being "that when the Na-
tional Policy was introduced forty-
three years ago, some slick men came
tc our fathers and mothers and told
them that this country needed in-
dustries, and that we had to support
them for a while."
Robert J. McMillan, of Seaforth,
who said that "Mr. Morrison gener-
ally always sent me to the by-elec-
tions all over the country," declared
that he would pass a law that would
not allow a lobbyist around Parlia-
ment in any shape or form. Several
speakers criticized the increase of
Parliamentary indemnity, and George
Turnbull expressed the opinion that
a farmer member should bring back
part of his earnings and distribute
it among the clubs.
A resolution from Varna club vig-
crously championed by Frank Welsh,
between taking of the ballots, called
for a weekly report by the federal
member -elect direct to all the clubs
of his constituency reviewing legisla-
tion passed and proposed and stating
how he voted, Johnston, M.P.+P.,
Norfolk, who later delivered an ad-
dress, was asked for an opinion on
this proposal, and after describing
the routine of a conscientious M. P.,
which he said required him to rise at
6 and retire at 3 o'clock next morn
ing, declared the extra work involved
by such a report to be impossible. A
committee was appointed and brought
in an amendment calling for 'a report
from the member to the riding exe-
tive 'from time to time," but eventu-
ally the motion was tabled until the
annual meeting of the South 'Herron
IS. F. 0. on November 1st. -London
Free Press.
Mr. Boivin, in bis Sherbrodke
speech, showed the folly of the Prime
Minister's tariff claims. The. Pieru-
ier said Mr. Boivin had tried to make
the people believe that the Liberals
were Free Traders. in the next
breath he claimed that the Conserva-
tive party, when it took office in 1911,
had reduced the tariff as it was left
by the Liberals. "If the Liberals are
Free Traders, as the Prime Minister
claims. how on earth could the Con-
servatives make reductions in a Lib-
eral tariff, when Free Trade mean,,
no tariff?" Mr. Boivin ;eked.
The Liberal Leader this week con-
tinues his tour of the Maiitime Prov-
inces, addressing meetings in all the
principle cities and having the as-
sistance of such speakers as Premier
G. H. Murray, D. D. McKenzie, Hare
H. S. Beland, Ernest Lapointe, Wil-
liam Duff, Dr. W. Chisholm and
others. The liberal party ,are being
given splendid receptions in all cities
and overflow meetings seem likely to
be the order of the day or evening.
One thing has become increasingly
apparent as Mr. King's tour con-
tinues, and that is that the people of
Canada are heartily sick of the
Meighen autocratic despotism and de-
mand a change to Liberal govern-
ment, in order to reduce the national
debt, ^ensure economy, and bring down
the cost of living, which affects every
man, woman and child in the Do-
minion.
THE U. F. O. CONVENTION
The United Farmers of South
Huron selected a federal candidate
at Hensel' on Thursday afternoon of
last week from a list which in the
preliminary state numbered twenty-
five names. The final vote was be-
tween William Black, of Seaforth, U.
F. 0. Director and president of the
political association, and 3. H. Scott,
of Hallett Township. Mr. Scott fav-
ors "broadening out." Mr. Black in-
clines to the Morrison school, Mr.
Scott got 126 votes, Mr. Black 128,
and the latter was therefore declar-
ed the choice of the convention.
Mr. Black's views on the federal
situation were expressed thus: -
"Premier Meighen has thrown down
the gauntlet and gone to the country
on the tariff issue, but in my humble
opinion the tariff has nothing to do
with the election. The issue is the
record of the government during the
past ten years. The only classes not
protected by the tariff are the pro-
ducers end consumers, and we must
have tariff revision."
Mr. Scott, in a vigorous address,
pointed out that while the U. F. 0.
was confined to farmers, "the lwlit-
ical association is of somewhat big-
ger nature. An invitation has been
issued to all our citizens to become
members of our association. Our
motto being to give 'equal opportun-
ity to all and special privileges to
none: There is no reason why any
c;tizen, whether he has worked in the
interest of the association before or
not, should not be eligible for nomina-
tion."
As a matter of fact all municipal-
ities of the riding were represented
in 258 deiegates present, and from
urban sub -divisions carne a number
who are not members of the U. F- 0.
Several who are not farriers went to
the ballot for candidate- W. G. Medd,
dairyman of Flxeter, was third in the
voting. Tifere was no objection ta+u¢n
to the paltietpation of dieser pro
siot!a1 n and useroha ts.

Alnealliiser, younger daughter of Mr.
Matth(NF+ Miller, in her 18th year.
The deceased had gradtated from the
Seaforth Collegiate and was waiting
until she was old enough to 'enter
Normal.etchool, when she was taken
ill with Bright's disease. She had
been taking, treatment with Dr.
Ward, of London, for some time and
was, apparently, much improved in
health, when err Wednesday last she
was taken suddenly worse and passed
away the following day, She was of a
quiet, but loving disposition and her
death will be a sad loss to the father,
.brother and sister. The funeral was
held from ler late home on Saturday,
interment being made in Union cem-
etery, Hensel'.
HIBBERT
The School Fair. -On .Monday af-
ternoon of last week the scholars of
the schools in Hibbert held their an-
r.ual school fair at Staffs. The
weather was all that could be desired
and the attendance this year 'was
larger than any previous year, there
being about one thousand spectators
present. The exhibit of calves, do•1ts,
pigs and chickens was splendid. The
animals were all in first class condi-
tion and at times it was difficult to
pick out the best animal to award
the prize. Mr. C. McPhail, the dis-
trict representative, assisted by Mr.
A. B. Cockbourne and the president,
Mr. Robert Norgis, judged the live
stock and Mr. MoPbail gave reasons
for their choice of the prize winning
animal. The judging of roots and
vegetables was nb small job, the
entries for .the roots being the larg-
est in the history of the school fair.
Mr- McPhail' told the boys and girls
how to select roots for exhibition pur-
poses and reminded them that it was
not always the largest root that took
the ptiee, The judging of the live
stock and poultryroots and vege-
tables folibwedl 'by 1:he ahiert talk
given 'by Mr. McPhail was instruc-
tive 'and edu'catlonal to both young
and old: Sonne mengolds and turnips
that took first prize at local fairs
could get only third prize at the
school fair. The only thing to mar
the afternoon's enjoyment was the
poor building in which to exhibit the
products of the boys and girls and
proper grounds for the sports. A
splendid prograrmme of sports, drills,
addresses, etc., were carried out and
are as follows: Boys' and girls' race
8 years and under, Norman Park,
Clarence Looby, Mary O'rconnor;
boys' race, 12 years and under, G.

Oonventj5ons. The Conservative
convention hey Mere on Saturday last
was very aaiateit.'attended and much
enthusiasm''mtinifested, as was also
the U. F. 0•' convention, held on, the
Thursday precedding, the 29th of
September.. At the U. F. 0. conven-
tion the choice fell by ballot on Mr.
William Black, the president of the
U. F. 0., Mr. Scott, of Hullett, com-
ing very close in the final ballot. Mr.
Black, who resides near Seaforth, was
made the unanimous choice of the
convention. The town hall was liter-
ally packed on Thursday. On Sat-
urday last, at the Conservative con-
vention, Mr. J. J. Merrier, the present
member, was made the unanimous
choice of the convention, no other
name being balloted on. At both of
these conventions, as we have said,
the attendance was very large and a
number pf addresses were 'given by
these proposed as members, the num-
ber of names in the U. F. 0. being
over fifteen and nearly as many ih
the Conservative convention, but
there was this difference, that at the
Conservative one, no balloting. was
done, Mr. Merner being the choice of
the convention. All others nominat-
ed at once withdrew in his favor and
the coming election promises to he a
verya 'rite
