Cameron was held in Wingham on Wednesday evening. By posters and handbills, a fair attendance was secur- ed the hall being perhaps a little more t3 P P half filled. Mr. Cameron said but little on the real issues of the day ; his address consisted chiefly of self - defense and personalities. Criticism of Mr. Mitchell, and unkind references to Miss Wiggins, representative of the W. C. T. U. did not enthuse the audience, and we are credibly informed cost Mr. Cameron several votes, Robt. Holmen, M. P. talked of the school books, the surplus, etc., and admitted he did not a wish to accept the challenge to meet Miss Wiggins on theplatform..

Dear Sir, -will you kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to correct certain state- moots made in last week's issue of the Times, by one w•ho calls himself "A Prohibitionist," He says that the question of prohibition was NOT RISSER at in the Liberal convention at Drondelenation Promr the \vest FIuront iProhibit g tion Alliance were courteously and respectful- ly received, but when a gentleman from West- fieldetoodwupowas a and urge delegate ethe partyrat to bring out convention, prohibition candidate, HE WAS HISSED AT.

He strands advanced ideas in moral and social reform.usor We appeal to all ohristian neon to pray consist- ently and work vigorously for the election of aRev. pledged Prohibitionist. You cannot PRAY a prohibitory liquor law into the statute books, you vo'rg whisky men into Parliament.
