TAhE WARNING.
Naw that the holiday, season has air-
ai,ved it brings vt th it the dread tof
many 'shocking antenatal events of a
more or less saddening nature., The
summer resorts willbe patronized,
doubtless to a greater extent than
ever before, an,d the aquatic pastimes
--boating, canoeing, bathing, etc., will
he the popular amuserntenits. These
all well en their place, but it his always
well to be guarded and take thel nec-
essary precautions for the safety of
life. Avoid the fool -hardy practice of
rocking the boat; canoeing in ,danger-
-- ously ,deep waters, whienl one cannot
swim; swimming to greater length
than, one can endure just to exhibit
little .grand -steno play ; going into
depths of water that are not safe
when one cannot swan, etc., etc.

Mr; MacGregor was the first speak-
er and he discussed the platform of

party in the usual manner.
The, Liberal Leader, lair. Welang-
tan Hay, wags billed to gave an ad -
drew, but owing to illness het was
unable to be present, air, Rogers of
Ingersoll took his place. He said
the Liberal party had; been, sympathetic
toward the U. F. O. government, but
he criticized severely thieir financial
rc' ord, He said he htearcl Hon. How-
ard Ferguson in Ingersoll.`, and he had
made .out a mighty good case for the
Conservative party, but he Criticized
Mr. Ferguson, although he incorpor-
ated much of air, Ferguson's speech
in, his own. The Liberals, he claimed,

from his youth up. He had taught
school far a number of years, had.
served ere the capaciaty, of councillor of
his municipality, then reeve for a num-
ber of years, and was warden of ,the:
county. 1t was during hia time at the
county council that he sawmany things
in the U. F. 0, Government that could
not be commended or considered ac
economic. He was in sympathy with
the farmers 'organization, and thought
it right that they. should be organized.
They had an excellent platform, but
it was a platform to get in are but ev-
idently not to be adhered to. He dealt
at some length on the good goads
policy. Han. Manning Doherty's claim
of removing the lemliargo on cattle, and
various other things. He suggested a
weather forecast far all farmers hav-
ing telephones, whereby they might be
informed of• the weather 24 hours in
advance, and he thought this would be
of great benefit to farmers an saving
their crops, etc,

N. W. TREWARTHA
Conservative Candiedate in S
had anything to do with it.
Tbos McMillan said that the can-
didates an •South Huron were all good
men, and the record of the parties
,vas all we cotad go by tin casting a
vote. When Hon. Peter Smith be-
came provincial' treasurer he seems to
have got off the lid of the treasury
box and threw the key away. Much
money was thrown amyl in great fees
to gamy lawyers. After one year in
oif_ce the U. F, O. hard 10 judges and
31 lawyers besides 'thee, regular lute -up,
on the pay roll. He criticized sev-
erely Ilan Manning Doherty's huge
hlutf, as he called it, in claiming the
credit for the lifting of the. . cattle
embargo in England, As a matter of
fact, he said, those interested in- the
lifting of the enrbarga in England say
that lir. Doherty caused more trou-
ble in England than he did good, quot-
ing Lloyd George's remarks, whin he
coanglimented 11r, Meighaen an his ac-
tion ,in the matter, epi said he could
not compliment Mr. Doherty on his
ac tins .n England, .
At this juncture A. John Coirnish
of ElimviIle got up in the audl,ence and
said that the embargo was removed
.;y the hoys who went avers,aas to
fight, and the audience approved,
.vTr, Mealillaan charged Hon. Peter
Smith •evi!th attempting a saw -off the
ocher: night between the Liberals in
South Huron and the U. F. t0. .ink
Centre Huron, huitl ass fax as Mr. Mac-'
greeor was conc'eraned there was no-
theaa doing.
The chairman claimed that the lift-
ing of the embargo was, of no bene fit
to Canada, and hetanid cattlemen who
bad shipped to E;n,gland knew ilt.
Nominations
' South Huron is
to have a three -
cornered election contest, as alil three
chosen candidates were dulyeno.m,nated
in bewail on, Thursday last. •

'
fives r
D. F. MacGregor far the. Liberals
W. G. Medd far, the. U. F, 0.
To hear the addresses afterwards a
large crowd of people were present,
and the hall was scan filled, but 'so
many ver: outside that it was decid-
pd to go out to the street, A half-
hour, afterwards, however, a shower
of rzut fel', and a gralnd rush was made
for the hall vvhhere the proceedings
I were. continued. .
George Layton, returning officer,
was chairman,
Huron. , W. G. Medd spoke, first and last, Mr
MacGregor div' ctea lits time with Mr,
:McMillan; and Mr. Trewartha took all
Tire Hon. George .11,enry considered
it a pleasure to be Mere to talk on
the political issues of the day, and
particularly for such a candidate as
N, W. Ts•ewartha, a main, of such wide
municipal experience, a man of such
bright possibilities, and a man with.
such an 'excellent death rectos ,
He spoke of the false impression
of farriers ,in which' they had an idea
that tbey-twere being neglected, and
this was largely ']nought about by the
politician„ agitators and others fats. a
fying the position of the farmer. There
was not one instance oil record en
parliament of where a s gngle thing had
been done by the Cbans:ervratuve party
to retard any legislation whatever in
the interest of the farmer, '
He showed abet in order to secure
payinentt of the estate of the late
John Eaton the Drury Government
gambled $43,000 on a block of suc-
eession, duty free of securities which'
would have matured in two . months
,rand could be redeemed, at par.
Through: injudiciau,s means the Pro-
vincial Treasurer forced the prise of
his o'wn 'securities up, 30 points, when•
by the employment of proper financ-
ial brokers' sums could have bean sav-I
end to the tax payers.. t
He further stated that tlae Drury
Goverinment gave away for $51,0001,
, over 3000 square mites of pulp and
timber laind,s to E. W. Backus, Min-
nesota.
t n-
nesota milliion>aire, by a secret agree -
silent, and a water concession which.
places Backus an absolute control of
the i,ndustr:rd developemcnt of the'
whole m,arthanestenn s.eetion of the i
province,
The Drury Goyennment increased
the number of ,permanent civil servants
employed from - 790 to 1250, and in.
addiction there are 3,00 an the tempor-
ary staff:
Rev. Mr. McAlister of town and
Rev, Naylor of Hensall graced the
platform with their presence, and ,each
the 45 -minutes himself,
The speakers.presented their cases
well and were given an attentive
hearing, each .one, bieang well support-
ed with applause; by his friends.
The ':great point lav the electioln in
South Huron as that they are, all good
fellows, and not a disparaging word
has, been said by, the; one of the oth-
ers, which is a happy condition, to
say the least
