y Branch of the Dominion
Alliance,
Clinton, June 1J, 1914
Oh the eve of a:Provincial elect-
ion, we would earnestly, urge,, the
pj Temperance electors of all parties
• to -consider i npartially the great
issue now before the people,
For many years the Temperance
people of the Province, irrespect-
ive of party, have united in ung
ing upon the various governments
in power; the enactment of some
law that 'would Make the public
bar a thing of the pas•q, and that
Should mosteffectually control the
operations iofthe'Li:geor traffic,
and remedy its evils. This policy
le now eieesented to the electors,
and upon it we are to pronounce
our verdict.
Our County of Huron, on, the
29th of January last' spoke with
no equivocal voice on the question,
As a result we shall have, r v
in a few
weeks, a barless county. The quest- I
ion now is, shal4 this •irenatin'ity
from the open bar,which we enjoy,
be• extended to the whole Province,
III our' recent crmpai;gr, several
Local Option Monicipalties joined
in the C.IT. A.„/ campaign for the
county's sake. Can we not ' with
equal generosity unite with. others
in an effort to Abolish the bar
throughout Ontario?
We would remind you that the
setieral candidates seeking your
votes on the 29* of June, have
had ample opportunity to declare
their (att;i;5tide towards ( this
policy, as definite questions bear-
ing on this 'subject, have been
submitted to each. Is it too much
to ask the temperance• elector of
Huron County to support only
such candidate as has pledged him-
self to support the most advanced
Temperance legislation?
We have already shown ty our
votes that we are foverwelmingly
opposed to the open bar. Shall we
now dispose of the oldie jibe that
temperance risen, are NEVER TEM-
PERANCE VOTERS AT A POLITI-
CAL ELECTION,
This ,nay mean a breaking of old
party ties, and irks' no easy anah-
ter, even temporally tc, disassoc-
iate ourselves [from the political
affliations of years; but if 'we are
to redeem our oft repeated word,
we :must now stand loyally , by
those who are prepared to give ef-
fect toh principles e p ineihles for which we
have so long contended.
The issue is very clear., This is
our day of opportunity; itis also
our day of c [responsibility. The
Temperance party of Huron County
and 'of Ontario, is on its trial,
We can have what we want 1 If the
open bar remains to imperil every
home it will be because our in-
difference, or our mistaken. party
loyalty, gives it a fresh, lease of
life, We have often prayed for the
destruction of the liquor traffic,
on the 29th,, of June, lot us vote as
we pray.

Committee,
