Proprietors - THURSDAY, JULY 3rd, 1924 LIBERAL -CONSERVATIVES CONVENE AT 11.ENS-1LL Notwithstanding the short notice given of the annual meeting of the Liberal -Conservative Association of South Huron, the gathering was rep- resentative, there being a large and enthusiastic attendance from all parts of the riding. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Charles G. Middleton, of Clinton, president of the association, s, who rounded up the object of the meeting very nicely and then call- ed. on N. W. Trewartha, II .P.P. for South Ixurirn. His remarks on pro- vincial politics were timely and in- teresting, as he told of the work of the Furgeson Government. He stated that three or four years ago both in the Dominion and Pro- vincial fields people were carried away by talk and promises. Since that, these talkers had had an op- portunity of doing and the public were appalled at their efforts. It was not his place to enter upon the result until after certain trials next fall. People believe to -day that what happened at Toronto was tak- ing place in Ottawa. Last June Mr. Ferguson became Premier and he had gathered around him the best cabinet Canada had ever seen. Mr. Trewartha spoke of the ability and uprightness of Nickle; the progres- siveness of Martie and the tenacity Price in tackling and dealing with the alleged surplus of Smith until he showed the surplus rested not in the Treasury, but in the pockets of cer- tain citizens. He asserted that next session would see greater surprises in the Highways and Forest and Mines Departments. The investiga- tions were only started. Mr. Henry, the speaker said, was reducing the cost and giving better roads. Patrol- men to -day have to make good or they are dropped. Nearly 100 en- gineers had been dismissed. Mr. Trewartha also told of the work of the committee investivating Agricul- ture and said the farmers cold cor- rect 50 per cent. of their troubles themselves, the Provincial Govern- ment could correct 25 per cent. and the Dominion Government must cor- rect, if they will, the other 25 per cent. He said he thought the com- mittee could correct the high cost of the stock yards, and would try to se- cure lower freight rates. He hoped to see more co-operation in market- ing with a business man at the head. Mr. E. R. Dennis, president of the Western Ontario Association, spoke at some length on Dominion politics and of the extravagances carried on by the King Government at Ottawa and enumerated many of the individual transactions that call- ed for a. change and a new govern- ment to be elected. . Mr. J. J. Mercer, ex M. P., was also present and demonstrated that he had lost none of his old- time enthusiasm along polieital lines and in a nicely rounded up speech brought forth much applause. The officers elected dent, C. C. G. Middleton; vice-presi- dent, Mrs. W. Consit second vice- president, 'William Consit; secretary - treasurer, .G. C. Petty. Chairmen= Exeter, Charles H.

Tom's father, Mr. John Pryde and Mr. Campbell Wares are engaged in a large con- struction contract there and he will join them. His many friends here wish him success. • HIGH SCHOOL REGISTRATIONS The suggestion made in the press last week that those desiring to at- tend Exeter High School would do well to register with, the Secretary of the Board as early as possible, has brought in quite a lot of names already. Within the last few 'days over eighty have registered and most of these are from the country. The majority' of names so far are for 3rd and 4th Forms and it would look as if Exeter would again lead the County in the size of its Upper School Form, Last year Inspector Rogers congratulated the School on having the best 4th Form he had visited. The Departmental Exam - illations being lieid at the school will be over this week and then more registrations will follow quick- ly.
