members on different occasions • say
that Mr. Eilber was one of the .nos
energetic .members of the Legislature:
He was surprised at the large atten-
dance at the convention which was • a
sure indication of what the result
would be at the coining election.
Mr. John Sherritt, M. P. of North'
Middlesex, in addressing the meeting
said he had known Mr. Eilber for :the
past eighteen years, having sat the
largest portion of that time with him
at the council board of the township
of Stephen, and during that 'time .nev-
er knew him to shirk his duty 'far the
good and welfare of the township.
No man in Stephen had ever. worked
as Mr. Eilber had. Nothing was too
much for him, even at a personal loss
to himself. Such' a unanimous and en-.
tbusiastic convention .as this was was
a sure indication as to who would, be

Mr. Holmsted, barrister of Sea -
forth, in a short address congratelat-
ed the, Conservatives of South Huron
on having such a good representative
as Mr. Eilber, who, he had no hesita-
tion in saying, would be elected'with
a larger majority than ever.
Mr. Thomas Carling of Exeters
thought it was time for a .change The •
present Government had outlived. its
usefulness, pledges had 'been broken,
money was spent beyond all reason,
the resources of :the country -were. bee
ing wasted and he thought that if the,
opponents of Mr. Either took one look
at the young and old men in the
hall today • they would- never •faCe
the battle. Let us do our duty as
men and the result is a foregone con-
clusion.
Mr. Thos. Hayes of .Seafortit svas
pleased to see such a large and en-
thusiastic meeting. Never in the his-
tory of Huron had a candidate re-
ceived such a reception and- endorse-
ment as Mr. Eilber received that clay.
In his opinion it was only a question-
- of how large the majority would be.
-The chairman then called Mr.Eil-
ber, who on rising was received with
great enthusiasm, the crowded aud-
ience cheering for at least five min-
utes. Mr. Eilber was greatly affected
by the reception tendered to him' and
was so overcome that it was 'difficult
for him to find words to return - Itis
thanks to the large ;lathe/ice' for
the. confidence placed in him: In ad-
dressing the large gathering he said a
olember should be a trusted servant of
the constituency and is sent to parlia-
inent for that purpose and to work
for the interest and welfare of his rid-
ing. He should, after .serving his
term, come before them and have his
actions apjgroved and if he did' not re-
ceive the—honest indorsement of his
party lie should withdraw and let
some other persoli be selected. Only
in this way can we have a GoVern-
ntent responsible to the people who
placed them in power. When politic-
ians do not do their duty the electors
should lay aside their feel-
ings and vote for honest men and melt
who will vote for the best interests
of their country'. .During the last
four years Mr. leilber has attempted
to serve South Huron to the best of
his ability and how far he had Mire
ceeded he would allow them to judge.
He then dealt with a number of pub-
lic issues and criticised the matte:ge-
ment of the Agricultural College,show-
ing the large stuns that were spent in
the way of salaries. The Hon, Sohn
Dryden was shown 'up as s person
who, when addressing the Canadian
farmers, acknowledged that we were
going back in this country instead of
advancing and promised to 'have it
retnedied. In addressing another
meeting he ()ryden) again aeknow-
lodged that beef was 73 cents to Sr
dearer in Chicago than in Toronto but
bye and bye he said he guaranteed the
farmers would get more for their
products. Mr. Wier asked why Mrs

the Conservative leader for the reason
that he was against the Ross bill in
the House and is opposing it in the
country. Rev. S. F. Dixon of .Sea-
grave, a prohibitionist, writes to the
Globe with' reference to its criticism
of Mr. Whitney, saying :
"You say .he takes ground against
prohibition. Your ostensible reason
for saying this is because he is oppos-
ed to the present. bill. Hut I think
if you • will turn up your files you will
read the Globe's editorial opinion of
the bill in the following terms : ' As
a matter of 'fact the Manitoba Liquor
Act, which it . is proposed to adopt in
Ontario, is not prohibition, nor any-
thing like prohibition. It could be
more properly termed an act to pro -
'Whit the retail sale of liquor in ho-
tels, It permits the uninterrupted
manufacture of liquor in the province
and its wholesale distribution thro•ugh-
out• the homes of . the province by
agents of the liquor interest living
'outside of Manitoba.' • According to
the ' Globe then anyone Opposing -this.
bill is against prohibition while , you
also declare that .the' bill Is not pro-
hibition nor anything like prohibi-
tion."
