The Sea Serpent.
There are a lot of people who are
quite sceptical about the existence of
the sea serpent. They even go so far
as to get very facetious about it. I
simply haven't patience with the kind
of citizens who haven't respect for
anything that is grand and noble.
Those who are not impressed with
the piquancy of the pageant of life,
the panoply of evening skies, the
purple vaulted night, the penetrating
odor of hot dogs and the wild frag-
rance of mustard—such people give
me a pain in the neck. They have
no poetry in their souls nor wings on
their heels.
I had a step -uncle, an extremely
well-educated man if I do say s6. His
private tutors were Haig and Haig, I
believe. Or was it Goodherham and
Worts? I can't keep tab on all those
Oxford dons. Anyway he learned to
speak the snake language quite flu-
ently; and he was trying very, very
hard to acquire the tongue of the sea
serpent, which was like stepping up
from Latin to Greek, when he unfor-
tunately went into a comatose state
from which he refused to emerge. He
always was an obstinate cuss, any-
way. So they buried him. It was a
esson to him that he never forgot.
Well, that left me with nobody to
depend on,' and as I couldn't swim,
and the sea serpent couldn't navigate
on land, we' met at the filling -station.
"I understand," I said, trying to re-
member the few serpentine words that
Uncle had taught me, "I understand
that you were seen at British Colum-
bia, Oshawa, Beauharnois and on the
editorial page of the Globe. Is that
really true?"
"What?" asked the sea serpent.
His mentality seemed terrifically sup-
er -normal, so I went on to weightier
matters.
"Do you sing tenor in the autumn
or has the old-fashioned Christmas
lost its appeal?"
His face was a solemn mask, as an
eagle dallying with the wind.
"I have hitherto been adducing in-
stances of my exittence, and have
lately observed many strong indica-
tions in the pink Tely—"
Just then the boss walked in so we
both started to work like blazes.
Well, as R said before, life seems to
go like tenants that quite without
warning. Pass the salad dressing,
please.

FARMER WHO -REFUSED
PREMIERSHIP CELE-
BRATES 70th BIRTHDAY
The only farmer who ever declined
the premiership of Ontario was 70
years old on Saturday, and is still
glad that he never tacked honorable
in front of his name.
The only farmer who ..ever by his
single voice named a Premier of On-
tario admits that he would be silent
now if he had to do it over again.
J. J. Morrison, founder of the Unit-
ed Farmers of Ontario, is still at 70
as much the man of the movement
as he was when it was founded; as
he was when it swept to power in
the spectacular election of 1919; as
he was when he blocked appointment
of Sir Adam Beck as 'Premier and
chose Ernest C. Drury in his place.
And at his 70th birthday, Mr. Mor-
rison looks placidly back over the
political struggles of the last decade
and is willing that the story of those
struggles be told for the first time.
Bits of it have been published. The
whole connected story has never ap-
peared in print.

Reporters were 'waiting on ' the
stairs. Beck was smuggled lit the
back way. The farmers liked Sra
Adam. So did Minnie, the office Cat.
She purred, curled up in his arms,
while he addressed the eaucus.
When the Hydro knight left it was.
immediately proposed that he be
chosen as U.F.O. leader and Premier.
R. H. Halbert was about to putthe
motion which seemed certain to carry
when Morrison intervened. He spoke
plainly. He asked the farmers if
they intended to barter off all they
had gained for a plate of hot soup
like a lot . of children. He begged
for delay. He urged appointment of,
a committee to consider the-Teader-
shi question. Caucus adjourned to
meet a week later.,
Farmers thought Morrison wanted
th job himself The papers said so.
The committee, which included Peter
Smith, R. H. Grant, F. C. Biggs and
J. 4 Lethbridge, was sure of it.
Again the farmers met. The com-
mittee reported it had arranged an
alliance with Labor and then unan-
imously recommended that J. J. Mor-
rison be leader. Caucus cheered him
as Ontario's next Premier.
Morrison raised himself on his
lanky legs. He looked the typical
farmer. He amazed everyone with
the announcement he would not
accept the job. Be felt, he said,
that he could make a success of his
work as secretary of the U.F.O. He
believed the chances were against
his success if he became premier of
Ontario. To become premier and
fail would jeopardize the life of the
U.F.O.
Surprised by his refusal, caucus in-
sisted that Morrison name t h e
premier.
"If you leave it to me," Morrison
replied, "I'll name E. C. Drury."
Drury, he explained, was 15 years
his junior. He was not only better
educated, but was a better speaker.
He clould command the confidence of
the province as premier.
When he - added that Drury had
some serious faults, the future
premier called: "What are they, Mor-
rison?"
And then to the men he had
recommended a Ieader, the secretary
of their organization proceeded to
outline the faults of his choice.
Drury was inclined totake people
at their face ivalue, he said, an ex-
cellent thing in a gentleman, but a
great mistake in a politician. He was
generous in all things, but particular-
ly so in his promises, he said. Fur-
thermore, he was subject to flattery
and loved to talk. If he was careful
and listened to good advice and prac-
tised silence, he would make an ex-
cellent premier, Morrison concluded.
"I'll take it on one condition: that
you stand by me with advice," Drury
s quoted as saying.
"I'll stand by you to the last ditch
so long as you stand by the organ-
'zation," Morrison pledged.
Within a month there was friction
between Queen's Park and King
Street. Morrison's suggestion of a
committee which would keep the
Government in touch with the or-
ganization was decisively rejected.
Drury could see no virtue in main
taining relations with the machine
that in 1919 could have become the
greatest instrument In Ontario poli-
tics. He wanted to get away from
politics.
In the very first session, the pre-
mier responded to goads of G. How-
ard Ferguson by declaring in - the
ight on buggies debate that he did
not care what the U.F.O. thought of
the measure and what the U. F. 0.
thought did not make the slightest
difference any way.
Then came the superannuation bill.
R. W. E. Burnaby, then president of
the U.F.O., wrote to the premier sug-
gesting that in view of the criticisms
of the measure in U.F.O. circles, it be
deferred for a year and in the mean-
time it would be possible to discuss
't. U.F.O. circles claim the premier
never even acknowledged the letter.
And then the broadening out con-
troversy started, the dispute which
definitely estranged Morrison and
Drury and ended by Drury finally
retiring entirely from even member-
ship in the U.F.O.
Many farmers back on the conces-
n lines still think the broadening
t battle was a product of reporters'
aginations. The fight was never
ged publicly. At ,conventions far-
ers cheered Drury and voted for

The U.F.O. is a one-man movement.

son. He was its father and its god-

Farmers of Ontario might never have
been born. In bed and quarantined,
the tall, lanky farmer who scarcely
knew what sickness was, lay think-
ing of the plight of agriculture back
in 1912. The Grange, in which he
had been active, was, he felt, hope-
lessly out of date. The Patrons of
Industry had vanished completely:
The farmers' association had merged
with the Grange. •_„
The Government had fathered a
number of farmers' clubs, financed
them, provided speakers and educa-
tional literature, but forebade politics.
Morrison's idea was to steal these
clubs and lift the lid off politics. '
He mentioned the idea to W. L.
Smith, then the editor of the Sun.
'°I admire your nerve," Smith said,
but gave him scant encouragement
for his hijacking plan.

The gulls at the stern,
And the islands wheeling by.
The bright, bright sun,

And the fresh, stiff breeze.

The creaming wake of foam,
The orchestra tum -turning,
And adroitly changing keys.

Then a meeting was arranged with
three of the leading farmers of the
province—E. C. Drury, of Crown Hill,
Col. J. Z. Fraser, of Burford, and W.
C. Good, of Paris. They were to meet
in the offices of the Sun. It was Sat-
urday afternoon, and the farmers
were new to the ways of city half -
holidays. The office was locked. They
had no place to go. They walked
along Queen Street and entered a
saloon. Four glasses of beer were
ordered—the price of a priivate room.
Three of the four were absolute tee-
totallers. In the saloon arrange-
ments were made for the organization
of what is now the only Ontario poli-
tical party pledged to prohibition.
It was in -March, 1914. that the
U. F. -0. was officially born in the
Toronto Labor Temple. At the same
time the U. F. 0o -operative Company
came into being. Morrison became
secretary and organizer of both. He
has been secretary ever since. He
has never desired to be president. He
bas been content to be the man of
the movement, the man behind the
movement.
- The. war came and later conscrip-
tion. Pledges to farmers that their'
sons would not be taken from the their',„,
farms were broken. The flare-up of
farmers brought a rebuff from Ot-
tawa and stinging satire from the
press. The farmers marched on Ot-
tawa in vain; they went home and
plunged into politics. They w o n
two provincial by-elections. Then the
Hearst government tumbled and for
the first time in history organized
agriculture was called on to form a
ministry.
From
From behind the scenes Morrison
had directed the political plunge. He
sensed a change; he expected the
U. F. 0. to 'hold the balance of power
in the next House. He, did not ex-
pect a majority. He feared that
Hearst, his ranks we , ened, would
attemp to lure some the farmers -
elect into the Conservative ranks. A
week before the October 20th elec-
tion he sent out a call for both
elected and defeated candidates to
meet at the U. F, 0. offices on Octo-
ber 22nd.
It was a ivictorious group which as-
senibled in the dingy offices. above a
Ring Street store. Of the 45 M.P.P.'s
elect, 55 per cent. were former Con-
servatives. Instead of meeting to or-
ganize an opposition group and choose
a House leader, they found, themselves
in caucus to. choose a Premier of On-
tario.

Farmers might cheer the general
idea. The province -wide picture
might be alluring. But the man who
framed the innocent motion knew
that back home there would be few
who would open the doors, to outsid-
ers; that farmers would' guard their
local associations from invaders.
Drury changed the name of his
party to Progressives. Farm candi-
dates ran as Progressive candidates.
But the change was in name only.
There was no broadening out.
The Government crashed.
organization continued.
The U.F.O. CIubs still enter candi-
dates at elections. Morrison's posi-
tion as the real head of the organ-
ization remains unchallenged. Drury,
who pictured so fluently the evils of
the old line parties, has drifted back
to his former alliances. He was a
delegate at the recent Ontario Lib-
eral Convention.
And Morrison, at 70, looks back ov-
er the political struggles. One count
balances another, and he has few
regrets. Other farm leaders, may
change, but the tall, lanky figure
with the horn -rimmed spectacles and
an abounding sense of humor, con-
tinues to be the man of the move-
ment so far as the United Farmers
of Ontario are concerned.

th

d not know that they were Morri-
n's. Morrison never worried about
e cheers.
Drury, in office, eager to give his
ealism a play, chose as his con -
ants the intellifentsia—the profes-
rs with theories how to run Drur-
n Utopias --and lost touch with the
Tactical politicians. Morrison, por-
eyed in the press as the would-be
ctator, the man who had been
owded out from behind the throne,
ever for a •moment lost touch with
ntiment on the concessions. He un-
erstood—still understands how to
y a kite to catch the drift of public
pinion.
When Drury, with his eloquence,
Tied to stampede a U.F.O. convers-
ion into endorsing his Utopian
ream of a great Progressive party,
ncluding in its ranks all classes and
11 occupations, with the one aim of
ood government, he was cheered to
he echo. But neither Drury nor the
men who cheered him realized that
the resolution passed the same after-
noon leaving all riding associations
free to exercise complete local auton-
omy in the matter of political action,
ended completely . the dream of a
broadened -out farmers' party.
