were delegates. Ontario was the
home of Liberalism and all that the
people needed to revive the grand old
days of prosperous Liberalises was
courage, conviction and tenacity.
With these qualities soon the good
old days of George Brown and Mc-
Kenzie and Edward Blake would re-
turn ,the good old days when citizens
were accorded -the full and free use of
their franchise and the expression of
their opinion at the poll.
"To this country," continued Mr.
McKenzie, "we have invited many
people,,and promised them the full
heritage of British citizenship should
they obey our laws and accept our
iustltutons But we have a Govern-
ment) at Ottawa who disregard al
these things." (indications from' the
audience of the unpopularity of the
Government.)
Mr. McKenzie asserted that one of
the cardinal principals of Liberalism
was that a promise once given was
sacred and he hoped for the return
of the time when alt who obeyed the
haws and paid their taxeswould have
,a free exercise of the franchise,
The Convention's Task,
Ile realized the diffciulty and im-
portance of the task of the present
convention, but he knew that who-
ever was chosen by the delegates
from the five men who were nomin-
ated as candidates for the leadership
of the Liberals in Ontario, that man
woud do credit and honor to the
cause of Liberalism, and it was the
duty of the rank and file to keep
that leader in the beaten path of liber-
alism.
"In he House this session we have
endeavored to live up to Liberal
principles laid down by Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. We will try to live up to
them if we win the trust of the
people of Ontario. Men die but prin-
ciples never. We say the present
party has come into power under ex-
cellent auspices, We handed over a
well -governed country to the Tories
in 1911, The present leader went
from one end eof the country to the
other proclaiming to leave well enough
alone.
"Our cry if we go into power will
not he to let web enough alone, We
want a general housecleaning. We
have a Government which is laid
down by the bosses which own them.
11 Sir Thomas White should demur
against anything the bosses put up
to him they say but you go.'
"Those are the things we are hop-
ing for, a fair field for everyone as
is was in the old days of Liberalism
and every mann and woman will wor-
ship under his or her own fig tree
and none will dare to make them afraid.'
The speaker referred to the war re-
cord •of Canada and the peace which
is about to come, which he hoped
would be eternal.
"We have a great country, a magni-
ficent heritage, what we most need is
the unify to snake us all Canadians. It
was the ambition of the great statesman
to bring about unity he never lived to
see it. As Sir Wilfrid did not see the full

Text Of Policy Resolutions
Ontario Liberals made known the
future policy of the party at Thurs-
day's Provincial Convention at For-
esters' Hall in eighteen resolutions.
These resolutions had been carefully
considered by the Policy and Re-
solutions Committee the previous
night. As a result they were en-
dorsed, in almost every instance un-
animously, with the minimum dis-
cussion.
The Labor resolution introduced
by Mr. C. M. Bowman was
discussed at greatest length. Mr.
7.. Mageau, M. P. P , occupied the
chair, while Sir. Bowman presented
the resolution and explained his atti-
tude to the subject. He gave it as
his opinion that the paimary reuse of
the unres( was because the autocracy
of wealth had been ruling the world
for a long time and had made a poor
List of it, and as a result there were
extremists on the other side. As an
employer of 37 years' standing, Mr.
Bowman said he was strongly in favor
of the eight-hour day , and he felt that
any employer not agreeable to adopt-
ing that length of work day was
"asleep at the switch.':
Carry Out Liquor' Referendum
The temperance resolution was
moved by Mr. Win. Proudfoot, K. C.,
M. P. P., and seconded by Mrs. J. W.
Bundy, President of the Toronto
Women's Liberal Association. It
was one of the few resolutions on
which a standing vote was taken , the
result being almost unanimous ap-
proval. The resolution was as fol-
lows:
'('hat the Liberal party of the
Province of Ontario, in convention
assembled, affirms its attitude in
favor of progressive temperance
legislation to the fullest extent of
the Provincial jerisdictlon,. ;and
pledges itself to take all necessary
steps to vigorously and effectively
carry into effect the will of the
majority of the people, as express-
ed by the said referendum vote,
For the Farmer,
Recognizing the important posi-
tion occupied by the agricultural in-
dustry, and the difficuties which
confront it, Mr. Nelson Parliament,

cidentally a member of the local
U, 1', 0, organization, moved the fol-
lowing resolution. it was seconded

North Oxford, and recommended that:

money at a low rate of interest,
(2) That agricultural.' schools
with demonstration farms be es-
tablished to continue the educa-
tion of rural and urban boys and
girls after leaving the public
school s
(3.) That the spirit of co-opera-
tion between producer and con-
sumer be encouraged with a view
to cheapening the, cost of produc-
tion as well as that of distribution.

Essex, introduced ;and moved the

ohise, H cnlidettlned the provisions

nnen and inert entitled to vote at'

North Perth, and seconded by Aid,
Gedrge Rlunsden, of Toronto:
Believing as we ado that much
evil hats been done by the allenat-
Ilan Of public property' :to private
otitis, we pledge the Liberals of
Ontario to the following measures:
(1) The reservation of all water
powers within the jurisdiction of
the Government of Ontario for de-
velopment, so that the benefits of
cheap and abundant electric es-
ergy only be extended to all parts of
the Province, ,
(2) The construction of a sys-
tem, of ftydro-radial Railways
throughout the Province wherever
conditions warrant expectation of
successful operation. In the con-
struction of these railways there
should be co-operation with the
directors of the National RaUways,
so butt duplication of service shall
be avoided and the Dominion and
Provincial authorities may work to-
gether for the development of Prov-
ince -wide systems of transportation.
(3) The elimination of private

vice in the chief centres of popu-
lation and over wide areas of rural

' erated by public authorities.
Assess Land Higher

Provincial revenues by the taxa-
tion of natural resources be here-
by affirmed,

P, and seconded by Mr. William
Proudfoot, K. C., M. P. P., It was as
follows:
That the opinion of this con-
vention the patronage system is
inimical to the highest efficiency
of the public service, and to the
best interests of the country, that
the public interests demand:
(1) The creation of a non-parti-
san Civil Service commission with
ample powers, and that all the ap-
pointments and prromotiuns in the
public service should he by merit.
(2) That all supplies for the public
service should be purchased on a
business basis, regardless of the
political or personal affiliations of
the vendors. and the purchase should

after due public
notice, unless ss local
conditions at any tine render this
impossible.
After Combines and Profiteers
Mrs. Keiely and Mrs, Frawley
moved and seconded, respectively , a
resolution referring to the high cost
of living, as follows:
That, having regard to the pre-
sent high cost of living and the
increasing burden upon the
working classes and those in re-
ceipt of limited incomes, due to
the high cost of the necessaries of
life, this convention condemns
the Ontario Geovernment for its
failure to deal with this matter
and its abandonment of the in-
vestigation and prosecution of
the illegal combines formed to
limit competition and to enhance
prices. We declare for the Gov-
ernment control and regulation
of cold -storage plants, ahatoirs
and stoek yards, the prosecution
of the old combines, the thorough
investigation of present condi-
tibus, and the vigorous prosecu-
tion of the combines and profit-
eers which have during the period
of the war and are still making un-
fair and illegal profits at the expense
of the consumer.

al representation as demanded by Liber-
als in the (louse for several sessions

troduced by Mr, Wm. Proudfoot, K.C.,
M.P.P., and seconded by Mr. A. D.

• Province of Ontario, in convention

a law upon the statue book pro-
viding that the election of mem-

Waste in New Ontario.
Mr. Z, Mageau, M. P. P., and Mrs.
Soutar moved and seconded, respect-
ively, a resolution on Northern On-
tario, 1t was as follows:
We condemn the wasteful and
extravagant manner in which the
millions of dollars designed to
open up Northern Ontario are he-
ing spent, the miles of roads built
where there is no settlement and
the neglect of sections where act-
ual settlement is going on. We
condemn the system of the ex-
penditure on colonization roads,
bridges anti drainage in organized
municipalities by political favorites
for partisan :tdv:mtage, and say that
money which is voted from session
to session for roads and bridges in
organized municipalities should be
handed over to the elected officers
of the municipally instead of being
expended under the patronage of
the local member or defeated can-
didate, as is the present method,
We recognize the fact that Northern
Ontario possess vast acres of fer-
tile land still awaiting settlement,
thousands of millions of feet of the
best white and red pine in the world,
millions of cords of wood suitable
for the manufacture of paper, and
vast acres of undeveloped and un -
prospected mineral lands. That this
section of our Province is capable
of immense development, and if this
development is carried on under
honest and capable administration,
Northern Ontario can maintain a
population more than equal to
Southern Ontario.
We recognize also that Large sumac
of money are yearly being collected
from the resources of the north,
and only a comparatively small por-
tion is being returned to develop
its resources. We believe in, and i
pledge ourselves to an aggressive,
policy of development and expan- i
Mon, a strong propaganda of settle- '
meat by the very hest class of immi-
grants and the 'return to Northern
Ontario for its opening up of a
much larger proportion of the mon-I
eys collected than is now beingl
spent thereon.
We believe in, and pledge our -1
selves to tine development of the,
water powers of Northern Ontario,
to keep pace with the power require-
ments of, that section of the Prov -1
ince, and to amend the Hydro-el-
ecric Power Act to permit of the
