While there was some dif- ference of o :.,tion, yet, Mr Morrison stood with Mr. McMillan, and at the close of the di cunsiun every member of the committee held up their hand against the ed‘ aaI lity of entering the field as a distinct political party. What consideration was offered Mr. Morrison and where did it come from, that icduced him to enter the political field in spite of the resoluti i of this neeet'e,g'.' Within tee.,• month after the Drury Government was installed in office, Mr. McMehe, ieceived a communication from Mr, George A.

Por three years past natters *have been going from bad to worse and power began to slip from the grasp of these visionaries. Last autumn they barely retained power end the Opposition put through an initiative rneaeure which madeit io }mime necessary for local government bodies to deposit their funds in the State Bank. Thousands of farmers were ruined by the failure. of the new ex- periment in State banks and what part of the programme was not ful- filled through lack of funds was held up by mandamus in the courts. A few days ago the Governor, Attorn- ey -General and the Minister of Ag- riculture and Labor, were recalled by popular vote and the task of salvag- ing the havoc which this blind folly has wrought in the last five years must be begun without funds and in the face of the wreckage of a dis- torted creed. North Dakota is dis- illusioned and the cost in money and in waste has been enormous. This c n,atittet, consisting of Prof. Jackman, of Toronto University, as Mr 'Phomas McMillan and Mr. M. H. Staples, handed in their m u tir•ober 15th 1920, and in reference to its content's, Mr. Weir, tee :,L ager of the Rural Credits System of Manitoba, said: "With ray p .comet knowledge of Ontario conditions, and after four years' experience reministring the Manitoba System, this report is replete with every recom- mendation I eo e' 1 pps.e'"iy suggest." in the mouth of November of the same year, when Mr. J. J. 31orr'..on, the -,end of the Ontario Farmers' Organization, wanted some cxpah.c ,:.or apfrear and present the farmers' case before the Tariff ('onto:>:I,.:, ee e:;; it, London, he appealed to Mr. McMillan, saying that while 'se iso: compel his attendance, yet he would not take "No" for an an,exeri :,:.1 :,e was complimented by Mr. Morrison and the press of Or.s_riu G r tl:. ::e,..v:ng which he made. And once :nor,. when the Live Stock Industry of Canada had been so hem i'y 'r.c.dieappe'd kith increased freight rates, and Mr, Robert McKey K. C-, of Torunbi, was instructed by the Drury• Government to dit'e`t`-e presentation of a case before the Railway Commission of Canada, Mit' 1tc- Millan was again requested to attend a meeting of live stock men in To- ronto, where in union with Mr. W. A. Dryden, of Brooklyn, the_ Secretary of :7c S.::es Department of the U. F. 0. Co-operative Co., Prof. Leitch o the Ontarler Agricultural College, and others, they were requested to pre- pare imlividual cases to take beforethe ftailway Commission. During the hearing, the Hon- F. B. Carvell, chairman of the commission, said: "On behalf of the members of this Railway Board, he was pleased to say they were glad tt have men come before them to -day, v:.., et roughly understood the present live stock situation and were so we, . •resent their case. Mr. McMillan in his statement to -day, so clearly presented 'bis case, that in response to my question: Did he think this Board should act? at once declared: "The Live Stock Interests of Canada demand relief. Your Board is the only honorable body which can act, and we believe you should take the action which would substantially relieve the situation.” In response to these and other appeals, the whole Live Stock railway freight rate in- crease of September 13th, 1920, has been entirely removed. In view of the above facts, and they are facts, which along with many others of a similar nature, are on record, and can not be disputed, it is hard to see what excuse any intelligent agricultural voter could put forward for not supporting Mr. McMillan on Tuesday next, There is not one voter in the South Riding of Huron to -day but who will readily admit that as a practical farmer and an agricultural expert, Mr. ,McMillan has no superior in (':+nada and that is the kind of a man every voter who has his own interests a:. heart, will support. One who knows the needs of the farming comma: itp, such as South Huron largely is, as few men do, and who care intelligently .,ni forcefully give expression to those needs, and who will fight for them on the floor of the House of Commons as few men can. We take it that there are just two objectives the three parties in the �,,•,,n;- .lection are fighting for. 'Phe Conservatives wish to retain office, sere Reform and U. F. 0. Parties are strong to overthrow the Meighen administration from the place and power it 'has so long usurped without shade aeie of authority, because its record of mismanagement and misrule, plunder and extravagance has been the worst Canada has ever experienced, and t., replace a "Government for Friends" with a "Government for the People" Th,s bring the case there are two facts which stand out bodly. One is that it dues not require any unusual powers of reasoning to see what 'the result .elll he in this Riding, at all events, if these two parties, which have One object for their aim, divide their forces. The other is equally plain. If Mr. McMillan is a big enough man and one of the very few farmers whom the 11. F. 0. Party and the U. F. 0. Government deem capable of presenting and defending the cause of agriculture before the Canadian .Tariff Com- mission and the Railway Commission of Canada, anti in other times of need, ;.hen he is a iii: enough man rand a fitting one to receive their support in the canting election. THE HURON EXPOSITOR SEAT.ORTII, Friday, Dec. 2nd, 1921. FAILURE OF THE NORTH , DAKOTA MOVEMENT (Family Herald.) .Vire most afnbitioua experiment attempted in class 'Government o>in.• is continent has failed, and the leathers of the movement, are being rte eyed from office by the exercise of :Rhe Recall, the very instrument *With they have persistently lauded as,eurinently fitted to reveal the wish - ex of democracy. For .live years North Dakota has Sabered to bring fortis a new State on principles of Communism h, in certain direction., were in of anything Which Soviet la has attempte& was in 1916 that the Non-PariL League ante into part State when it elected' Lynn J. Frazier, at that time a practically unknown man, to the Governorship. The successes wan in 1916 were enlarged in 1918, when the new "reformers" gained control of the Legislature. The mem- bers immediately proceeded to enact legislation, putting into effect the ex- traordinary industrial programme to which they were pledged. These laws were endorsed by popular ref- erendum and the'State was launched upon a campaign of extravagance. The frenzied finance of South Sea Rubble days, although not of the same magnitude, tfinds a paralier in the early years of the Non Partizan move menti First of all the Bank of North Dakota was inaugurated under State control, whieb became the sole depository of all State funds and t4ie sponge from which could be squeezed the money for the enactment of one wild scheme after another. To -day it is admitted that. this State Bank is insolvent, and the shareholders, who .are the people of the State, are unwilling that the pro- ceeds of further bonds shall be waft. ed to support the enterprises whit fedi t� osight-,the a THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY To Editor, Expositor: In viewofthe voting Tuesdaynext and the fact that the ;Progressive Party, who is largely composed of shouts of one or other of the old ;>arties, it is only fair that the views of those in sympathy with the new movement .be given an opportunity to express their views in respect to it. The old urban party feeling bad be- come so pronounced that at the time of an election, partyism, "that thorn in the flesh," would make the beet of friends look askance at each other, /Al- though they scafcely knew why, -until the day was past • and the doom of the contestants sealed for another term -tit Ottawa. 'In view of this the aspirants to office tried each to work upon the old partisan feeling through the party press and by public and private means prevent deseaetione. • The ruling party at Ottawa had its hand on the 'helm, however; and by one means or another kept "would-be- deserters" within the field and bought the influence of opportunity by per- sonal favors, that bore most heavily on the unsuspecting partisafl voter until their young intelligent. „off- shoots saw the folly of the system. The farmers, having formed organ- izations for mutual benefit and co- operation and the development of their industry in their intercourse and investigations, they saw wherein the old party system was working against their interests and demoralizing the public mind. These facts brought out by them caused the public mind generally to be aroused, with the re- sult that a Progressive Organization was formed, not only of farmers, but progressive thinking electors of all classes, free from the scandals that so disgraced the past history of ex- isting parties. I do not know Mr. Black, our candidate, personally, but the fearless position the Progressives have taken both in respect to financial and moral questions in the province, I think the voters in Noeth and South Huron can rely upon them as being fitted for the position, and entitled to their votes. Without a doubt a housecleaning is needed. J. R. GOVENLOCK, Seaforth. NUR ILLOP The Young People of Bethel Church will present the play. 'The Mlnioter's Bride," in Acthel Church on Friday.

They were also glad to know that Canada is no "second place in her estimation. She reports very poor crops in, these States and hard times. Mrs. Kerr saw a good deal in the short three months she was away. She travelled by way of Toronto to Winnipeg, Drayton. N. D., to Beaudetton, Minn., to Duluth, to St. Paul. to St. Charles by way of Chicago. She reports dif- ferent climates, also different crops AR seen in the different parts of these States. We 'hope that this much need- ed rest after what Mrs. Kerr has come through oug will be benficial to her good. She had met great number of friends who also was glad to meet her. As this was Mrs. Kerr's first trip to the West, we foresee a much more extended trip through the west- ern provinces ere long, H U LLETT The Council. -The membersi were 111 present except John Barr.
