WINOBAM, ONT, THURSDAY: SEPTEMBER 18th, 1919
CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION
John Joynt Selected to Contest North tiurou in the Interests
of the Hearst tiovernment.
The Liberal -Conservative Asso-
ciation of North Huron raet iu Wing.,
ham town hall on Tauretlay afters
noon. Teh gathering was not very
large, but it was enthusiastic and
fairly representative. Ladies' were
present front all parts of the riding,
Had the meeting been more thorough-
ly advertised we believe the halt
would have been peeked. Dr. Arra-
strong, Gorrie, president of the Assos
elution, called the meeting to order
and the selecting of it candidate ret
stilted iu the following nominations:
Jahn Joynt, West Wawanosh,
John fr, Winters, .'HoWielt.
George Spotton, Wingbara.
Arthur Shaw, Morris,
T. R. Bennet, Wingham.
Wm, McQuillin, West Wawanosh
,Ins. A. 1Vfallougn, West Wawanosh,
Mr. Maltough wee the first speak-
er, and although Ito had -decided to
accept the nomination, he felt it his
duty to withdraw in tavor of a strong-
er man, Mr. joynt. Mr, Mallough,
was president of the Farmers' In-
stitute for several years and was tate-
secretary of the Board of Agriculture.
He had never yet heard any political
agitation at any of these meetings.
Mr, joint T. Winters had. been re-
quested to allow his name to come
before the convention. He was
al-
ways it farmer and was willing to
had always declined, but he was this
time willing to :tenet, or if the dele-
gates saw lit to select some other can-
didate 'hewoula be behind him. As
a temperance man he was four square
and could not afford to change his
habits at this time. Ile gaid it wee
bemuse he loved the principles of
the Hearst government that he keel
decided to accept the nomination
and if elected he woula be neard fr,om
itt Torouto, he would be knowu as it
man wao did things, and not a sleep -
merely arawing a salary. He
thanked the delegates and candidates
for selecting him and assured them
Mat if they had unity istetheir ranks
that North Huron woula be redeem-
ed to the party, and that grit and
toil ratepayers alike would have it
representative at Toronto that woult
look atter the best interests of Nortl
Huron, and the .remainder of the
province wont(' hear from North Hur-
on once again. • '
Mr. T. W. McGarry, Provincial
treasurer, was present and addressed
the meeting.
"When we, go to •the country," he
Said, "we will go .full of fight, Those
who believe that because we have
been silent during the last five years
of war we are not prepared for thie
fight ales underrating our strength.
As soon as the word go is announced,

join the U. P. Os but not until he
saw where they Mood 50-50, and, were
not ruled by a few. leading . Grits.
He was for a number of years a read-
er of the Farmers' Sun but he had
yet to read anything in its pages
where it supported either the Hearst
or Whitney governraents, or the Bor-
den or Unioa governments, no mat-
ter what the move they would take
In favor of the farmer. Before a
vote was taken Mr. Winters request-
ed that his name be withdrawn and
that the conservatives of North Huron
stand united behind NEL Joynt.
Mr. Geo. Spotton urged that the
hatchet be buried and asked all
those who had at the last election
supported him as an Independent Con-
servative to come out and give their
solid support to whoever might be
the choice of the meeting. Mr. Spot -
ton said that he was sorry that the
liberal section of the.U. Is. 0. had put
one over on the Conservative section
and had (tended on making the goat
of suck a highly esteemed young man
as Mr. Proctor. Mr. Xing will
have the endorsation of the liberals,
for they will not bring out a candle
date to oppose hiin at the Dominion.
elections. His message to the con-
servatives was to drop the old feuds
and put on a united front. At tireseut he veould not allow his name to
stand.
Mr. Arthur Sheaf said it was his
first alsPearance on a political plat-
form. Ile eould not see why any
sane conservative or prohibitionist,
no matter what his politics, would
vote against the Hearst admitistrae
tion. Thay gave us prohibition, and
numerous other forms of good gov-
ernment, that helpect every farmer
and ratepayer. He was not a Can-
didate, but urged all to stand behind
the choice of the Meeting.
My. T. Rs Bentett said he thought
the farmer e were doing a right thing
when they organized, but the IL P. 0.
platform is too narrow. Ile as 9.
temperance Man would not have a
clear couscience if he voted for any -
One but the suPporter of the Hearst
governnient. Mr. Bennett is a strong
temperance man and an old Howick
boy, and received a great ovation
from the Howick delegates. Ile has
sinee inforthed us that It will in all
probability be a eandidate at the next
nomination of a repreeentative of the
Conservative party for the Dominion
House,
Mr. McQuillin in a short address
stated thatqfe watild not be a candi-
date lint would be heart and out
behind the needing's ehoiee and he be-
lieved Mr. Joynt was the proper Men
to bring up.
Mr. joyet received a great deal of
applause wee% he rase to a &Imes the
reeetirtga- affilaid he bad often been
asked to fishnet the nomination aed
every meinber ofthe administra-
tion and every follower of ours in
the House will be ready to go before
th.e people and tell them. what we
have done and what it is our in-
tention to do in the future, And
when that time comes, the platforms
of Mr. Dewart and of the IL la 0.
will look so small and insignificant,
so full of paucity and blank spaces,
that the people of Ontario will come
to the conclusion.that this govern-
ment raust go back once more."
Then Mr. McGarry in setting out
the contrast of the fifteen years'
record of the Conservative admin-
istration -with the years of Ross' ad-
ministration recalled the boast of a
Liberal enthusiast -a member of the
Legislature -in Toronto, recently,
that -Mr. Dewart was th,e first great
leader since George W. Ross. /"I
wonder what was in this man's mired.,"
he asked, "when he says that Mr.
Dewart would be the same kind of
leader G. W. Ross proved. himself
to be? I wonder if it was because
he believed that if Mr. Dewart was
successful and became Prime Mins
ister hewoutd be carried away back
to the sante system of eleetions we
had staler to 1905; that instead of
reading in the newspapers that a
Workmen's Compensation Act had
been passed or a Mothers' Pension
Bill or that there had been a big
surplus, we should be reading as we
did in 1902-3-4, of scandals and elec-
tion trials, of ballot box stuffing and
of timber limits given away. of Can.
Sullivan and the Minnie M.; is that
what you would want or do you want
us to continue as we have during the
past fifteen years. During that time
four general elections have been held
and 444 members elected, basidei
many by-elections, and yet not one
single, solitary protest has been made
In any eourt throughout the Prov -
Ince nor it finger pointed at any' act
of the government that hinted at
fraud,"
The treasurer devoted a little time
to the U.10.0. propaganda, 'With the
desire of the farmers to seeure better
representation in the Howe and to
advance their interest by united ac-
tion he bad every sympathy; but he
deelared .cmpliatically if the leaders
of that organization sought to go

called.
"That plan will never succeed," he

demand of a majority of the execu-
tive -as am evidende of the fettere
the organization was placing upon
the usefulness and the independence
of its candidates.
The treasurer explained the high-
way policy of the government, meet-
ing the criticism of the IL F. 0. in
respect to the provision for provin-
cial roads; and b.e sharply rebuked
the attempts to create an impression
that the main roads were for the
benefit of "joy riding =Wrists."
The motorists, who were providing
through license fees the great sums
to be spent on highway construction,
would benent-but still more benefit
would accrue to the farmer in low-
ered transportation costs on his pro-
duce,' easier access to markets, a,nd
in the comfort he would derive as
a motorist himself.
Hon. Mr. McGarry chiefly dealt
with the government's temperance
Policy. He contrasted the sincerity
1, of the government of Sir William
Hearst with the insincerity of the
Ross and Mowat Administrations,
which had received mandates from
the people to put prohibition into
force, but had utterly failed to obey
them, .-
"When the vote is taken on this
referendum it will not be as it was
in the days of Ross and Mowat; the
legislation Ontario will have will
depend absolutely on the will of the
People, because in this province the
majority of the people have the right
to rule." (Applause.)

Alternate sunshine and showers

day morning, but by the Afternoon
the sky Ilea cleared and 0111 Sol smil-

Bluevale School Fair. Four schools
exhibited this year as before. The
exhibit looked sveal in the neat little
schoot-room, and the grounds were
in their best trim for the occasion.
The entries were not ae numerous as
in previous years, owing probably to
illness among the puplls in the win-
ter and the extreme beat of the sum-
mer, which made enthusiasm dint -
cult. However the exhibits sliown
were of high quality, and a large
erowd or people manifested much in-
terest in viewing them. Mr. Stotts -
ars, the energetic aistriet representa-
tive, had his big tent on the grounds
and also brought up -to -elate steel
pens in which to 3udge the poultry.
During the afternoon the children
from the four school sections com-
peted in sports of varioua kinds, malt-
ing considerable amusement tor sae
onlookers. Then followed physical
culture, drills by the pupils, caorus
singing and a public speaking con-
test, The last event of the after-
noon was the stock judging in the
ring. The boys led out their caves
and colts proudly displaying their
skill in training them. Willie Mun-
dell secured he bronze medal given

Sheep Killed Near Cargill
Dogs are taking serious toll of the flocks
of sheep in this vicinity During the past
week or so there are instances of entire
flocks being killed by dogs in one night,
On Sunday night James Young, south of
here, had the entire herd worried, while
the next night Andrew Ditner, a well-
known drover of Greenock, lost 23 sheep
the same way. John Scenion, of Brant,
had eight killed recently, while no less
than 50 are reparted to have been kilted
on the Tolton farm in Brant.
Owners of sheep are endeavoring to
round up the dogs that are doing the
harm, but up to the present they have
not been successful, as the dangerous can-
ines are still at large. --Free Press
