(From the Guelph Herald() Editor of The Herald ; Sir, ---1 would like very much to find out if Sir 'Wilfrid Laurier ever gave a definite promise that if a majority of the electors of Canada voted in favor of prohihition,he would pass a law giv- ing effect to the will of the people. Also. if he ever gave any statement or definition of what plebiscite really involved or meant. TEMPERANCE FIRST, PARTY AFTERwA1(DS. Erin, March 26th, 1900. Sie Wilfrid Laurier, • rior to.the gen- eral elections of 1896, promised the the temperance people that his Govern• menton attaining power, would take a plebiscite on the prohibition question, and that the will of.the people, as expressed through the piss iiscite, would be carried into execution, At a meeting held in.Lindsay, ore Oct. 21st, 1895, Sir Wilfrid dealt explicitly with the prohibition .. question. The Toronto Globe of Oct. 22nd, 1895, gives • the following report of that part of the 'Proceeding? having reference to the quest ion raised by our Erin correspon- dent. The Globe report is as follows "At the conclusion of his' speech, which was listened to with profound attention, the following letter was put into his hand : Lindsay, Oct. 21st, 1895, Hon. Wilfrid Laurier. Dear Sir,—Would you be so good as. to state what position you will take on the Prohibition question if plac ed at the head of the Government at Wes next general election, and oblige,-.• (Signed), :,PrTO '. rile:,, Methodist Minister. r. Laurier said: "In regard to this question of prohibition, this is what I have to say : The question of prohibi- tion is, as you know, of very great importance. It engaged the attention. of the great Liberal convention, which met at Ottawa two years ago, to con eider the important questions which affect the Dominion of Canada, and the Liberal party, then assembled' in con- vection, came to a conclusion. They looked upon the question in all its bearings. It is a mighty serious quest Lion and very complex, and, as you know, the Liberal party came to the conclusion that they would embody. it in their platform . upon- which they might gate the country, that as soon as they came into power : they would take a plebiscite on that-gnestion. That is to say, they would take a vote of the people upon that question, to ascertain whether the people of Can-. ada are in favor of the prohibitory sys- tem or not. Gentlemen, I have only this to say :The policy of the Liberal party will be faithfully carried out when they come into Dower. There shall be a plebiscite, • and the will of the people will be ascertained, and whatever the will of the people may be, it will be the duty of the Govern- ment to carry that will into execu- tion."
