MR. HERBVRN ADDRESSES
LIBERAL RALLY AT
AT GRAND REND
Before un audience of between two thousand and twenty five hundred
pvvpiu Mitcheii Hepburn, nioerai
leuaer. ueiiveivd a stirring address ■at Grana Bena on Weanesaay after
noon. xhe speaking was xromi a
raised platform nortn of the casino
anu loud speakers carried .the voice
to the large crowd on me balcony, in ihNl-ii’ep rtininE hall and rather- AaL L1J.V U1A14A43 J fill A UIAVA
auout me grouuas. Mr. Hepburn
stated that he had had considerable
experience during his eight years in
the federal parliament and paid tri
bute to the late Thomas McMillan.
Mr. McMnian was a i«jw tariff man
and so am I, he said, High tarrifs
have made k difficult to find mar
kets outside of our own province. The
only time Mr. Hepburn nad voted
with Mr. Bennett was when lie voted
to reduce the salaries of the mem
bers and civil servants. When one
drives over the splendid county of
Huron he can’t help but be an op
timist. I say this to the cattlemen
of Huron County that when Mr.
Bennett refused to consumate the
deal with Russia to trade 100,000
head of cattle he cauesd an irrepatri
able loss to ithe cattle raising farm
ers of Ontario. The anthracite coal
and oil which would have been ex
changed for these c-attle would have
been a benefit to .this country, but as
it meant loss to the coal barons and
the oil interests Mr. Bennett refus
ed to consider it. As far as Mr. Ben
nett is concerned I see no hope for
prosperity in this country. We can
not borrow our way back to prosper
ity. Mr. Bennett had stated that he
would withdraw all relief grants af
ter the 15th of June but on account
of the present election he had ex
tended these grants until the 15th
of July and 'after that the province
would have to look after them.
After making a careful study of
the public accounts of Ontario with
some capable auditors they agree
with me that we can cut the cost of
administration in Ontario by fifty
per cent. Cabinet ministers had in
creased their salaries over $2,000'
making it retroactive over a period
of over five and a half months. In
addition to these cabinet ministers
we have seventeen major boards and
commissions doing the work that
should be administered by the var
ious departments. The workmen’s
compensation board could be cut from three to one man and effect a
saving of $28,000. Mr. Hepburn stag
ed that he was not after me lititle
fellow but was 'after the men- who
were in the public trough till only their ears jyere showing, and were a
useless appendage to office. What
are we paying Mr. Howard Fergus
on $80,0-0(0 in England for? You
don’t know and I don’t know -either.
$350,000 have been p'aid to Mr. Til
ley, the pet of Mr. Henry, during
the term of administration. $3i50,-
000 have .been paid to the Clarkson
Co, for audits. The c-ost of admin
istration in Ontario is beyond -the ca
pability of the people to pay. The
debt of Ontaro lias reached to-day
$620,000,000. That would mean a
$7-5’0 mortgage on every home in On
tario and means something to the
people of Huron who are trying to
save -the titles of their homes and
property. It has cost this province
$35,000 for gas and oil alone for the
autos of the cabinet ministers. The
chairman of the Niagarla Parks com
mittee is supplied with a car. “If the
people will .give me the authority I
am going to have an auction sale in
front of Queen’s ark of all these
cars,” said the speaker. We will
have them fumigated and will sell
them for what we can get and the
money received will go back into the
coffers where it belongs. The speak
er referred to Mr. Ge-orge S Henry
and “The Straight Furrow” Mr.
Henry .can’t plow a straight furrow.
He lias substituted an autocratic f-or
a democratic government and big
defeils involving tremendous sums are
being consumated behind closed
dobrs. Mr. Hepburn referred to the
Dominion Power deal costing $'21,-
500,00(0! for a lot of junk with tlie
exception of the Hamilton 'Street
railway. He-spoke of the Madawas;
ka Power deal, and of -the Abitibi
Power deal which took place behind
closed doors and out of which Mr.
Henry made $27,000'. Mr. Henry's
picture appeared in “The Straight
Furrow” as wearing a pair of over
alls but the speaker believed it to
be his first pair of overalls since
lie had left off wearing three corner
ed pants. Beofre Mr. Henry gets half way round these deals his fur
row would look like a corkscrew.
The only place he can plow straight
in when going through your pocket
book and he can go straight through
that. Mr. Hepburn condemned the system -that allowed such -transac
tions to go on behind closed doors.
This is not a fight between old time
parties but an effort to preserve the
financial stability of the province of
Ontario.The speaker condemned a system
that allowed cabinet ministers to
hold directorship in corporations do
ing business with tile government
and he will not put a single member
in his cabinet who is tied up directly
or indirectly with any corporation
doing business with the government.
We have stood for altogether too
much in this county and it is time
for a change. Mr. Hepburn referred
to two bond deals of the Henry ad
ministration, Bonds that were sold
two years -ago by the government
could now be sold at a profit of three
million dollars. At the end of the
last fiscal year, when i.t was stated
the government had as surplus. Mr. Henry floated another issue of $40;r
000,000. The rate of interest was
set at $4.67. At the slame time the
Province of Nova Scotia floated a
loan at three and a half percent. Mr.
Henry called in three men from the
city of Toronto and paid them $40,-
000 for their -advice to the government. The bonds were sold at $9 6.
that is $96 went into .the treasury
but $1-00 will (have to be paid out.
These were sold over -night to a few
friends of the government. Today
these bonds could be sold at a profit
of two million dollars and this at a
cost to the ratepayers,
Mr. Hepburn referred to the build*
Ing of a barn at Orillia for the stabl
ing of 72 head of cattle which cost $37,400. It has been stated the
barn could have been built for $8,*
00'0. Dr. Robb in a recent address
stated that there had been, three
banrs built but Mr, Hepburn stated
that he had passed the place recent*
.ly and had stopped to examine it but
could see only one. He had heard
BASEBALL
LOCALS DR'OP TWO
'The local baseball team dropped
two games during the past week to
make five losses in a row. On Thurs
day last Clinton took a close victory
from them by the score of 7-6. The
visitors gained a three run lead in
the opening innings. The locals made
a strong bid to tie things up in (the
last innings when five runs crossed
the plate but with the winning runs
on the bases the third man ground
ed out to end the game. Clinton
scored three in the first, one in the
second, two in the fifth and another
in the seventh. Brant started in the
box for Clinton. Hovey replaced him
in the seventh who in turn gave way
to Stock in the same inning. H. Wil
lard pitched a fine- game for the
losers hut his support faltered badly
at times. Inability to hit in the
pinches cost the locals the game.-
Goderich 5; Exeter 3
On Monday evening the Goderich
team took a game from the locals by
the score of 5 to 3.- (On their prev
ious meeting the locals succeeded in

in the first inning were never
headed throughout. The lo-ealls scored
twice in the -sixth and once in the
eighth. Fritz-ley was in the- box for
the winners and kept the locals well
in (hand. Trick pitched a good 'game
for the locals and struck out twelve
batters. Woods at second for Goder
ich made some good plays. J. Creech
headed the batters for the locals.
W. Mixture, of Goderich umpired
behind the plate while Dick Harness
looked after the bases.

They paid $40,000, to three favorites for “advice” on how to
sell a Bond Issue. Even Honest George “forgot” he had
