ANNUAL MEETING OF TI1E NORTH HURON CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION James Bowman, M. P., and A. H. Musgrove, M. P. P., deliver eloquent speeches to an exceptionally large and enthusiastic gathering at Wingham. The annual meeting of the North Huron Liberal -Conservative Associat- ion was held in the town hall, Wing - ham, on Tuesday afternoon, June 81b. Considering the fact that it was just held for the purpose of organization and election of officers, and not for the nomination of a candidate, the turnout of delegates was beyond all expectations, It was a joint meeting inasmuch that it had been called to organize for both Provincial and Do- minion purposes, thus saving time and expense of calling two sera"ate meet- ings. The chairman of the Dominion riding, Peter W. Scott, called the meeting to older and after giving a brief outline of the reason for the meeting being held, proceeded with the election of officers for the ensuing year for the Dominion which resulted as followt:- Hon.

Mr. James Bowman, M, P. was then called on and on rising impressed ,upon all the ur- gent need of a thorough organization. He then gave a very clear and com- plete explanation of Dominion issues. Me, Bowman was followed by Mr. A. H. Musgrove, who, in a clear and stirring speech devoted a abort time to provincial issues. He expressed his great pleasure to know that the one mill on the dollar levied by the Pro- vincial Legislature was to be devoted to such humane purposes, as the equipment of a base hospital where our Canadians wounded in the trench. es and or; the field of battle would be properly cared for, He objeeted eery strongly to certain parties in the County passing over the heads of the regularly elected representatives, who were responsible to the people, and attempting to have certain appoint- ment made. The meeting very•strong- ly approved•,of'his remarks. The following resolutions were ura- nimously and enthueiatically carried: Resolved that the Liberal Conserva- tive Association of North Huron in convention assembled desires to record its entire confidence in the Adminis- tration headed by Sir. Robert Borden. When our motherland was again called to fight for freedom and civiliz- ation, we rr'joiced that Canada's Prime Minister, without being forced b y public sentiment, acted upon hie of t - repeated phrase that .`when Britain is at war Canada is at war", and gave freely of our country's material re- sources and young manhood. When two members of the Commons did less than their duty we were proud that Sir Robert was strong enough to de- nounce their actions and read them out of the party, thus setting a new standard of political purity in the public life of Canada, this was in con- trast to a former Prime Minister who condoned by saying there was a black sheep in every flock, In this time of strain and stress, Canada is proud to have an Imperial Statesman of such rugged honesty and undying devotion to tbe motherland as Sir Robert Bor- den. We also desire to express our admir- ation of the driving force, energy and exec it ti v e ability of Major-General Hughes in mobilizing our Canadian troops who have since covered them- selves with glory and placed Canada in the Honor Roll of nations. Great crisis have ever brought forth great men and we believe that no man in either party in Canada could have done better than has our Minister of Militia. In closing we wish to en- dorse the business like administration in their legislation which was thwart- ed at the bidding of the Opposition Leader by a servile and partisan senate. In abort, confidence in the Borden Administration is such that we individually pledge ourselves to do everything in our power to elect a Liberal Conservative member for the new riding of North Huron. Moved by Geo. Spotton, Seconded by Matt. Lochart. We the Conservatives of No r t Huron in convention assembled, de- sire to express our deep sorrow at the death of the late lamented prime min- ister of Ontario, Sir James Whitney, who proved in his life and in his dyingin g sicknessthat he was "bold coongb to be honest, and honest enou:,h to be bold", We believe his work teas fallen upon a good and worthy successor in the person of W. H. Hearet, the pres- ent Premier ni Ontario. We heat tily endorse the general policy of the Government, and we commend the Gov. in its firm adher- sion to t.be enforcement of Rule 17 in regard to Belingual schools, v'that the n l' Believing E iah tan ua e Is Strongerfeythan hosts of war g That marsh with, files unfurled, Ir goes with Mind and Faith and Hope To rouse and rule the wo' ld, M.

P.P., and the meeting pledged' the eiselves to support them aria the Governments for which they are members, Moved by Mr. Musgrove and seconded by Mr. leoiejaan that the secretary be instructed to convey the sympathy of this, the North Huron Oonservative Associatpon to the family of Mr. W, F.
