Our Corner FARMER, IS CONSERVATIVE
•
There are csome people who do not
talk about hard times, but go right
along doing business and making them-
selves and others happy, just as
though they were right in the swam.
and leading the way. What is the use
of always and everlastingly • talking
hard times, why not go right ahead
without gru'mbleng and do the best
you can.
Tio steal ,^; man's character is a
greater sin than to steal his money.
Yet malty ,men and women would be
horrified at even the thought of steal
ing another's money or goods, will not
hesitate to Ateal from bis good name
or character. They will without cont-
pu nctiott etart e. story, perhaps about
their beat friend, which will rob him
or her of that which he ',holds dear-
er than life itself,
The election in South Huron is ap-
parently going to be a most interest-
ing one The three candidates nom-
inated are all farmers., They are all
in the field for the fist time. The
women are to vote for the first time,
and the list is a large one. Since the
formation of the Union Government
an increasing amount of independence
has got into the game, anti, there is on
the :start out a feeling of uncertainty
abroad. We look to ice a clean and
a spirited contest.

CANDIDATE IN SOUTH
HURON.
HENRY EILBER STEPS OUT AF-
TER TWENTY-ONE YEARS
At a largely attended meeting of
the Liberal -Conservative party held in
Hensall on. Monday afternoon Fred
Ellerington, Usborae Township farm-
er, was the choice of the Convent:oa,
and became the candidate for the
Pros—redid Legislature for South
Huron.
After the opening of the meeting.
by the President, Mr. Henry }forma,
the executive members were elected
for each municipality. The executive
consists of lane main and one woman
from each .municipality, , The election
of ward chairmen was left tot meet-
ings to ,be called in each municipality
be the :executive officers of the
mun cepajity,
Mi. H. hither, that present member
of the Legislature, was called upon
and in a few words spoke of his long
record in inunicipel and provincial
politics. Ever since 1531 he bad been
in the fight. Sine 1897 he had been
a member of the Ontario Legislature,
sitting in the Iiou:se for 22 sessions:
Ekcepting only two, he had lacer, in
the Legislature loeger than any other
of the members. He thanked all ;hose
who lied so loyally supported him
and the Conservative cause during
th:a.ic• years, but stated that he would
not again be a camel date.: Ile said he
ha a not been asked to support any
other one to become a candidate, nor
had he told anyone else he would try
to have himmade his successor. IIe
promised his earnest eupport to the
man who was chosen as candidate.
Mr. Either stated 'het his retire-
ment was due to a desire to be re-
lieved from the duties involved, and
a feeling that his long service en-
titled him to a rest. Ile also felt he
should not monopolize the honors in
South Huron, and some other man
should have a chance. His. health
for sometime had not been goad, but
he was now in better condition, and
the relief would be of further benefit
to him.
Mr. Either was; repeatedly urged. to
1-eooneider Ms decision, but he as of-
ten declined, and said that his decis-
ion was final. Mr. Eilber was a suc-
cessful, hard-working servant of the
pubic sand he retires with all honors,
Nrc>ntin tions were then called for
and the following were nominated, --
H. Eilber of Stephen;
W. R E'j'iott of Stephen;
Fred Ellerington of IA -borne;
W H. Lobb of Goderich Tp,
G. C Petty of Hornell;
H. K. Eilber of Crediton;
Mrs. Saxon. Fitton of Exeter;
Wm. Consitt of Hay Tp.
All withdrew except Messrs. Eller-
ington, Elliott, Lobb and Petty, and
three ballots were necessary to 'nnake
a choice—Mr. Petty dropping out on
the first, Mr. Lobb .on the ste:gond,
and Mr Elliott on .the third. Mr. El-
liott and Mr. Lobb then moved and
sec,onded a motion that Mr. Ellering-
ton be made the unanimous choice of
the convention. This was received
with rousing cheers,'
Mr. Ellerington in a short address
stated that he was a supporter of the
Ontario Government's temperance pol-
icy. .and he claimed that the Heart
Government was a strong friend of
the farmer.
Mr. Eilber, the retiring member,
spoke for nearly an hour in support of
the work and policies and the Hearst
Government, and never did he speak
to better advantage, or better effect
than on. this occasilon.

Above is an exact reproduction of the
Referendum ballot, showing the correct way
to Vote in order to sustain the Ontario Tem-
perance Act as it stands.
Everybody should study the four 'questions and
realize exactly what they mean. Do not be misled by
the insidious demand for "light" beer.
The beer of the ballot is 118% stronger than the
Ontario Temperance Act now allows, and over five
times as strong as the limit allowed for beer defined.as-
non-intoxicating,in Great Britain and the United States.
Answer Each Questien
1. Unless you vote on every question your•ballot
is spoiled.
2. You must mark your answer to each ques-
tion with an "X': only. Anything else would
spoil your ballot.
3. Unless a majority vote "No" on question 1
the bars will be restored and,the sale of all kinds of intoxicants permitted,
4. Unless a majority vote "No" on questions 2, 3 and 4 the Ontario Tera-,'
perance Act will become almost worthless.
5. The only SAFE course is to mark your ballot as shown above.
