WING 3.&M, on., THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1908. litUBSORIPTION $1,00 i'Jitlt Yr<t.R IN ADY.ANGIJ, $1,50 TO Svusgrusnests IN U. #3, North Huron At 12 o'clock noon, Returning Offi- cer Mc( villin opened the proceedings for the nomination of candidates for theLegislatnre for North Huron, A. II, Musgrave was nominated by Jas. Bowman and Geo. Spottou, Jno, T. Currie was nominated by Jno. N, McKenzie and Dr, P. Mac- donald. Mayor Holmes was then elected Chairman and the addresses were be- gun. Arch. Hislop was the first speaker. He referred to the new _riding, and hoped it would return a supporter of Hon. A. G, McKay. The Conserva- tives, while in Opposition, had boasted what they would do when they got into power. They promised to reduce the expenditure, but had increased it. and hacl failed in fulfilling any of their promises. Liberals did more with five millions of expenditure than the Con- servatives with eight millions, Mr. Hislop was unfortunate in his refer- ences to S. H. Blake, whom be des- cribed as in a state of "mental de- cline," so much so that "not a Conser- vative would give him a case." The word "idiot" was used, and the audi- ence groaned, and cries of "Sit down" were heard. The speaker, however, continued -Lawyers would do any- thing for money, and Mr. Blake was used to defending criminals, hence it was no wonder he defended the Con- servative Government. After this tirade, be referred to the gerryman- der, when his time had expired. Mr. Hislop's address was neither helpful to Mr. Currie, nor to his own pros- pects as an opponent of Dr. ' Chis- holm, M. P. Geo. Spotton was, the first speaker on behalf of Mr. Musgrove. He re- ferred to Mr. Hislop's recent state- ment about the Minister of Education. Mr. Hislop had raved about the in- creased expenditure, but he would ask what item would he reduce -Agricul- ture? Hospitals? Asylums? Educa- tion ? Mr. Hislop bad boasted about the Liberal Government; but what about - West Elgin, -Parliament dis- solved to save exposures, ballots oaten, ballots switched ? He had also de- clared that Mr. Whitney had not ful- filled his pledges. What were the facts? The numbered ballot was gone. The dens and bucket shops were cleaned out. The Public Schools had been strengthened, and the School Book ring had been smashed. There had been increased expenditure, but there had also been increased revenue. Mr. Hislop had said that lawyers would do anything for money. Well he supposed that would ably to Mr. McKay, Hislop's ideal leader. Mr. Spotton then gave Mr. Hislop a well- deserved castigation for his ungentle- manly remarks regarding S. H, Blake. He then referred to the LaRose claim, Cobalt Lake, Kerr Lake, etc. Mr. Hislop had at one time declared that he did not know Cap. Sullivan, but a short time after, when in Toronto, he had seen Hislop and Cap. Sullivan "cheek by jowl" in earnest conversa- tion. The speaker then referred to the pulp limits given by the Ross , ai Government to their favorites but I lo cancelled by Mr. Whitney, and turnedhi into hundreds d eds of thousands of dollars th in cold cash ; one limit given away by to Ross, had been sold for $300,000. Af- of ter reviewing the various items of ex- penditure, Mr. Spotten dressed down the Goderieh Signal for its endeavor to injure Mr. Musgrove by stirring up animosity between Roman Catholics and Protestants, and characterized it as contemptible. The Brussels Post had also gone beyond the bounds of decency. No wonder religious papers had denounced the campaign methods of Liberal papers, as having "passed the bounds of decency." Nominations. should be the last to say a word, for he gerrymandered Huron by adding East Wasvanosli, lest he should be de. fea,ted, and lost the riding after all. Considering what the Conservatives had suffered, Mr... Whitney had dealt leniently with Liberals in the redistri- bution, Mr.. Illusgrove then turned to Mr, Hislop's statement about the "County of Cardwell," and informed hien (of what every school boy knows) that there is no "County of Cardwell." As to Dr. McDonald's references to the Liberals taxing Banks, corpora- tions, and imposing succession duties, S1r. Musgrove asked why all this new taxation had been necessary, if they had such a surplus as claimed. He then referred to the various sources of revenue and expenditure, showing the increased monies paid back to the peo- ple for education, from the License fund, from the Railway tax. Huron county had received $15,000 more 'from the Whitney Gov't last year than ever before. Every dollar was accounted for, the• financial record was clean, and not equalled in the world, except perhaps in Great Bri- tain. Besides the debt had been re- duced $671,000, and a surplus remain- ed of $1,071,000. The management of New Ontario, the timber and ruining policies of the Government were then referred to and some salient points brought out clearly. Pulp concessions given away by the Ross government for absolutely nothing had been re- claimed and sold by Mr. Whitney and $700,000 put into the Treasury. The Gillies limit, Cobalt lake, the O'Brien affairs, etc., were then dealt with. Dr. Macdonald's crocodile tears were of no avail. If Hon. MacKay did as Dr, Macdonald had said, handed over Cobalt lake for $700, simply by wilt- ing "agreed to," he was not fit to be Premier of this Province. • Colonization roads were dealt with; formerly these were managed by over- seers, government heelers, who some- times got more for overseeing than the men did for the work. Now the money was given over to the munici- palities to expend. Mr. Musgrove then referred to the Educational ques- tion. McKay and Hislop sat there and never divided the House on it, but now were making a great noise. The speaker then referred to the false- hoods circulated through the riding regarding him, viz., that Wingham school had lost money, that he had been drunk, that he was an enemy of Roman Caa,holics. All these he brand- ed as falsehoods, The Brussels Post had scandalous articles regarding him. He expected ected better p things ofaman who at times filled the pulpits of this vicinity, and if ever the editor of the Post appeared in the pulpit where he was, he would leave the Church. Mr. Musgrove then referred to the smash of the School Book ring, and explained the C. N. R. guarantee, and stated his attitude on the Temperance question. He declared himself not a machine candidate. He fought. this battle alone without any outside assistance. In closing, Mr. Musgrove referred to A. Hislop's Bil1'to prevent canvassing, med at Dr, Chisholm, but Mr. His - p had withdrawn it in time to save s friend, Mr. Currie. Mr. Musgrove en solicited the support of the elec- rs, and closed an excellent address one hour and a quarter. Mr. Currie, the Liberal candidate, was the next speaker, He was glad to notice the interest taken, and see the good hearing given the speakers. It was not necessary for him to go over the ground covered. so well by the previous speakers ; it would sim- ply be a rehash. He had canvassed on the back lines, and had not uttered a word against 11Ir. Musgrove, nor had Mr. Musgrove spoken unkindly of him. He was encouraged' to hope that many Conservatives would vote for him. Ile disclaimed all responsi- bility for the abuse given Mr. Mus- grove by the Goderich Signal and the Brussels Post. Mr. Currie then took occasion to compliment the Wingham Advance for the kind treatment ac- corded him. FIe hoped there would be no mud -throwing, but all would be as good friends when campaign was over as before. Ile was nota public speaker, but believed in actions. He referred to the Temperance question ;. he had, been approached but would not pledge himself to any person. The meeting then closed with it vote of thanks to the Chairman, and cheers for the candidates. l Dr. McDonald followed • Mr. Spot - ton. He endeavored to show that the chief items of the present Govern- ment's revenue were due to the Liber- al Government's foresight and wis- dom. Even the revenue from New Qaario was the result of the building of the railway begun by the Liberal administration. No class owed so much to the Liberal party es farmers in the establishment of. the Agricul- tural College. Ile compared the ex- penditure for agriculture under G, W. Ross, with that under Mr. Whitney, and labored to 'show that it was less, haft he omitted from the figures, all that was expended in opening up new roads for the fanners in New Ontario; The increased expenditure was mita. wised, the La Rose claim, and the 0, N. R. guarantee were referred to, and support solicited for Mr, Currie. The Conservative candidate, Mr. Musgrove, was received with prolong- ed cheers, lie said, that the preced. ing speaker had labored very hard, but had failed to point out a single Mistake, made by the Whitney Gov ernraent, or single eorrapt act, or one Mis-spent dollar, 'Under the Liberals, • Ontario had bet<onie a by -word, a dis. grave, Mr, Whitney had wiped out that disgrace; he had given a secret ballot and clean elections.- West El- gin. North Waterloo, South Oxford, and the attempted purchase of Gainey were stains on Liberal record that could not he elf:teed. As to the so- celledmander, err g y Dr. McDonald --Why not fight fair? Why should Liberal papers outside the riding show such a disposition to misrepresent and abuse Mr, Musgrove? Here is another sample from the Goderich Signal "Mr. Musgrove is the cowardly candidate of it, cowardly Govt," Isn't there, precioats specimen ? What do the fafr-ininded electors of North Huron think of such taches P Durint: the whole eattlpaign, the Advance has not tittered a single word either edi- torially', lit private be iti public, dero- gatory of Mr. Currin, the Liberal can didate, and the hilt -minded electors aro comparing the course we have taken With the disreputable tactics adopted by at least two of the Liberal- papers iberalpapei s in the adjoining tiding towards 11A1. 1Vlaegrove. SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. -Seven elections by acclamation on Monday last was a good beginning in next Monday's race, -Honestly now (laying party pre- ferences aside) how can any really sin- cere person say that MacKay is pre- ferable to Whitney. *** -'The Toronto News, possibly the hest of Ontario's independent papers, says :-"With regard to what the Opposition press calls the gerryman- der, no more reasonable redistribution on the whole has taken place in Canada." -A vote next Monday for 111r. Mus- grove will mean that you believe in honest government, clean election methods, a secret ballot, and the pre- servation and administration of On- tario's resources for the benefit of the people, and not for corporations or political favorites. * ** ---Those who rubbed their hands gleefully at Rev. (now plain Mr.) Hos: sack's second letter, now have one more opportunity to jubilate, over a more intelligent epistle from that veteran of the old Liberal School, S. H. Blake, E. . C. Every voter, Con- servative or Liberal, Should read it. * * * -Here is what one of the leading religious papers of Ontario (The Chris- tian Guardian) has to say about the unfairness and misrepresentation manifested by the Toronto Globe :- "Its campaign, at the present time in provincial politics is tnark- ed by over -statement, misrepre- sentation, and unfairness that to us at least, seems to have almost over -stepped the limit of decency." * * * -In an able editorial, the Toronto News says :-"Surely a more feeble indictment was never laid against a government. Above these petty charges stands out three and a half years of energetic administration, a great volume of sound and progressive legislation, singularly honorable elec- tion methods, and a remarkable fideli- ty to the public interest. A decisive victory now for .Mr. Whitney and his colleagues will go far to make these the permanent characteristics of our politics, and teach public men in On- tario that honesty is' the better, policy," * N * -Speaking of the three-fifths clause at Norwood, Hon. J. P. Whitney said :-"We are watching the effect of the working of this law for the sup- pression of te liuor evil. As long as this government exists, I pledge my word, just so long as there is a reason- able step possible to be taken to diminish and render less damaging the terrible evils of the drinking habits, it will be done by this govern- ment, but we will do it in our own way. We have to take the responsi- bility I ty and we are going to do it our way, and we don't expect to please everybody either." *** -The Advance extends a cordial invitation to Mr. Arch. Hislop to come to Wingham and deliver anoth- er political address. We trust, how- ever, that he will not insult the intel- ligence of a Wingham audience again, by stating that a man like Hon. S. H. Blake,• , is in a state of 'mental decline." If Mr, Hislop was possessed of one tenth part of Mr. Blake's men- tal calibre, he would not subject himself to derision by making such extravagant statement as he has recently. Had he a mere fraction of Mr.l31ake's ability, he would not have been a nonentity in the Legislature for many years. Liberals and Conser- vatives were disgusted with his insult- ing •remarks. Mr. Blake is not an "idiot." This word was actually used. Yet Mr. Hislop asks the people of East Huron to elect him instead of Dr. Chisholm. Oh *** -The letter in the Advance of the 14th inst., signed "A Morris Voter" has led to a bitter attack on this pa- per, in the Brussels Post, and also on .Musgrove: It is adroitly slipped in under Morris Correspondence, but that will deceive very few. Stripped of its abuse and mis-statements . and (we are sorry to say, positive ;untruths) the charge against this pa- per is, that it supports Mr. Musgrove. We plead guilty, and further, we are glad to support so good a candidate. When Mr, Bowman was the candi- date, the Advance supported him loyall', and will do so again, should he be the choice of the Convention, The screed referred to attempts to again raise the sectarian issue by referring to Mr. Musgrove's publi addresses on .July 12th. Such tactics are contetnp'tibte,.aud while intended to injure Mr. Musgrove and assist Mr, Currie, may possibly have an opposite offset It las not that the Brussels Pod cares one fig for Me. Bowman, but it is anything to defeat the Con. servative candidate in N'8rth Huron. Or, to use Mr. Renoir expression (as reported the Liberal Convention here} anything to "pluck Musgrove." M ., Stusgrove hoe seeres of friends in 'purnberry and Morris that will see the real cause of the bitterness die• played by the Poet, Town Council. The Town Counoil met on Monday everting; members .all present except McDonald, The Western Foundry On, asked for a watermain to be laid near the foun- dry for fire protection, as in case of fire the Co, would lose heavily and 80 men be thrown out of employment. Referred to Waterworks committee .,,to report On. The half yearly report of the West Huron License Commissioner was read, showing the Town's share of the License fund for the half year to be $38.1,60, the largest ever received from that source ; cheque was inclosed. The Finance committee reported in favor of payment of accounts amount- ing to $281.08, and electric light ac - accounts of $305.74. The Finance committee also report- ed that the amounts of expenditure for the Roads com., $1,000, and Waterworks com., $833, be allowed; that the appropriation for the Town Hall, park, cemetery and market ground be $000 in order to cover im- provements to the Hall, and that a rate of 25 mills would be sufficient to meet all the expenses of the Town, and that such rate be struck. The re- port was adopted. $300 was placed to the credit of the School Board. The Treasurer was empowered to issue cheques for farm lands exemp- tion for 1907, as per last year. Coun. Spotton gave notice that ow- ing to the excellent music furnished by the Salvation Army Band, he would, at next Council meeting, move that this Council recognize their ef- forts by a small donation of say, $25, which would assist them In paying for their instruments. Council then adjourned. Court 01 Revision. The following changes are made in the assessment Roll of the Town of Wingham, by the Court of Revision held last week. Chris. Thornton -Pump shop pro- perty assessment reduced from $300 to $250, and business assessment reduced from $250 to $150. Robt. J.

Willis, tenant part lot 433, Leopold street north. Alfred Reinstedler, , tenant River lot, Victoria street. Jas, Begley, put on roll as M. F., ward 4. -Nothing in this contest is more remarkable than the ferocity of Liber- al newspapers, and the change is so sudden, that it is startling." -[The News. * * * -A great outcry is made by the Liberal press and speakers about the so-called.gerrymander of Huron. Let the thoughtful reader look at the question :impartially. The old ai', rangement seas possibly the most fla- grant ease of a gerrymander the world ever knew. In order to elect a Lib- eral in West Huron, two townships were actually divided. Conservatives were taken out by cutting Goderich township, and Liberals Were added by putting in a, part of Hallett. /lad it not been for that mutilation neither Mr. °arrow nor Mr. G. Cameron would have ever represented West Huron, As it was, the Government had hard work to hold it Liberal, as their popa1arity waned. Renee the disappearance of one ballot that lost the election to Mayor Beck, and hence the very small majority against Dud- ley Holmes of 2. Now under the old arrangement, West Huron was close; East Huron was Liberal ; South Huron was Conservative. Linder the present arrangement (according to ad- mission of leading Liberals) North Huron is going to be "very close." Centre Huron is still Liberal, and South Is still Conservative. In the name of ordinary common sense will some person rise, and satisfactorily, explain where there line been any "gerrymander," There has been tt redistribution that prevented town- ships from being cut in two for peril. sale purposes, 13y Sir 0. Mowat's'gen- uine gerrymander 153,000 Liberal voters elected 6(t rnenibers, but 100,000 Could only elect 20 members. In other words -the Conservative voters were 7,000 mote than the Liberals, but they had 30 less representatives in the Leg. telatctre. For shame's sake the cry of "gerrymander's now should cease.
