Wake up, Ontario Let the Referendum Battle -Cry Be "No!" -"No!" -"No!" -"No!" i S_ INCE the announcement in the Legislature last spring that a Refei endum on the Ontario Temperance Act would be taken this fall, the different temperance organizations of the province of Ontario have met together to consider what attitude they should take. The result has been the formation of the Ontario Referendum Committee, which comprises representatives from the organized temperance forces of the • province and the temperance sentiment of the province outside of these organizations. The new Committee will conduct the Campaign. We are asking the voters of Ontario to vote "No" to all questions sub- mitted on the ballot. The Referendum Ballot AND HOW TO VOTE _:fi .,�z.:..•:.. .._.. Yes No 1. Are you in favor of the repeal of 'LIE ONTARIO TEMPERANCE ACT? °V A 2. Are you in favor of the sale of light beer containing not more than two and fifty-one one hundredths per cent. alcohol weight measure through Government agencies and amendments to THE ONTARIO TEMPERANCE ACT to permit such sale? 3. Are you in favor of the sale of light beer containing not more than two and fifty-one one hundredths per cent. alcohol weight measure in standard hotels in local municipalities that by a majority vote favor such sale, and amendments to THE ONTARIO TEMPERANCE ACT to permit such sale? 4. Are you in favor of the sale of spirituous and malt liquors through Government agencies and amendments toITHE ONTARIO TEM- PERANCE ACT to permit such sale? rBy the Ontario Temperance Act, sale and distribution of alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes within the province were prohibited. For practically three years the province has experienced the good effects of this law. Its repeal would be a calamity. Any of the amendments would spoil it, For the Temperance forces to win they must secure four "No" majorities. That is, a majority for "No" on EVERY question. The Temperance forces will be defeated if there is a majority for "Yes" on any of the questions. You must mark an X after each of the four ques- tions, or your ballot is counted as spoiled.' 1 A century of temperance progress in this province is at stake in the coming Referendum. The Ontario Referendum Committee earnestly and respectfully ask you to mark your X in the "No" column after each and every question, as indicated in the sample ballot re- produced herewith.

WHY PREMIER MARTIN REFUSED CONTEST FOR LEADERSHIP. (continued from page one) the convention was more frequently pointed out than "Martin from Sas- katchewan." Tall and distinguished looking it was impossible for him not to be a conspicuous figure, though his characteristic modesty asserted itself in the manner in which he identified himself with the delegate body, simply as a unit of the convention, in exactly the same relation to it as the most inexperien- ced representative who had journey- ed to Ottawa to have a vote on the planks .of the Liberal platform and the selection of a leader. Stuck' to Decision ProbaIy the knowledge that his name had been conspicuously be- fore the public in connection with the leadership was responsible in some measure for his apparent in- tention to keep himself out of the foreground. In any case, Martin let it be known to those who talked to him early in the convention that he would not allow his name to stand keeping inflexibly to this decision throughout. Notwithstanding this fact, there were numbers who up to the very last, looked for a recon- sideration on his part. Why did lie refuse to stand with the highest honor in the gift of the Liberal party apparently within his reach. Because he had fully counted the cost and gauged the magnitade of the task that would be laid upon the leader appointed to succeed Canada's greatest statesman, the late Sir Wil- fred Laurier. There were personal reasons standing in the way which outweighed even so great an honor. Needs More. Experience Realizing the value of long parlia- mentary experience in fitting a lea- der to guide the desting of the Lib- eral party, he bowed before what he considered, the riper judgment of 'candidates of greater experience than his own. "No man can ever expect to mea- sure up to Sir Wilfred Laurier," he stated in conversation. "A compara- tively young man lacking the parlia- mentary experience which only years can give, would kill himself in three of four years tryng to measure up to the task. I have probably half my ifs before me. I don't think I would be justified in standing for a posit- ion that would deprive me of my usefulnes in a few years. I have my family to consider," Friends who would liked to have seen Hon. W. M. Martin in the place of honor, nevertheless approved his decision. "He is a man whose home and family ties have first consideration," they said, "and his children are at the age now when they need him most." "He has given great service al- ready to the country, and has years before him in which to give still greater service, provided he keens his health, and strength, His decis- ion is a wise one." West Wants Him. Contrary to expectation the wes- tern delegates from the prairie prov- inces were evidently entirely in ac- cord with Premier Martin's point of view. They were not snaking a hid for a leader from the West. "Martin's friends have been ad- vising hint against allowing his name to stand at this time," said a prominent Saskatchewan newspaper man who for years has been closely associated with Premier Martin. "The honor of havng a western man lead the Liberal party would be appreciated by the West," was the the comment of a north Alberta rep- resetative, and a Liberal. M.P., at hat, but we have so many big prob- ems of our own just now in the West that we feel we can't afford to pare any of our pdovirccial premiers t present. The decision of Hon. W. M. Mar- in to refuse to permit himself to titer the contest for leadership, while a disappointment to many, had Ire indorsation of friends who tiler - uglily understood his reasons, and f the Western Liberals who fully p,preciate the need of oxen of big bility and uncompromising integ- ity to mold the character of the . rowitt-up prairie provinces t 1 s a t e t 0 0 a a r g HAY OOIUNCIlti Hay Council met on Saturday, August 2nd, 1919, All members were Present The minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted.
