Last Thursday evening there was a good crowd of Liberals present at the Libelee] Club Rooms when Mr Wm. Proudfoot jr., of Goclerich, came down and gave r good address to the Liberals Owing to the President.Mr•. Wm. McEwen, going in for "More Maple Syrup" he was not present and Mr. Gee. McLennan took the chair and introduced the speaker of the evening. Dl r. Proudfoot spoke on the "Patriotism andProduction"campaign as s, worthy object and hoped that the citizens were taking this important matter up. He dwelt for a time on the doings of the two political parties at Ottawa and at Toronto and brought forward many strong points for the Liberal party. In the Ottawa Circle he spoke en the "graft" that was going on in the war purchases and how the Government now heavily in debt was calling forth a "war tax" which in reality was not for war purposes at all. In the Ontario house he spoke on the 'Temperance issue;the Government house; and other minor bills that were now before the house. After speaker had finished those wishing to have a game of cards did so and a pleasant evening was spent by those present.
