No poli- tical meeting ever held in this rid- ing had a more modest tinge. The {feeling that displays itself at church tea functions was about the. same as that which characterized this gather- ing of 3%0 in the town hall here yes- terday afternoon, The candidates were: Gordon Me- Lean, of Uxbridge; Wm. Robinson, editor of the Cannington Gleaner; James: Blanchard, ex-reeve, township and county councillor of the township of Scott; Dr. W. C. Shire, Uxbridge, and W. O. Webster, clerk of the township of Scott. They were each given five minutes. to tell their story, and the votes were: Candidates 2 Gordon Mclean ,.... 5 James Blanchard .... W. O. Webster ..:.. WW. Robinson .. Dr. W. 4x a Their Claim . Mr. Blanchard outlined his service in-the municipal and. county councils and left the rest of it "with the boys." Mr. Webster expressed the inion that political candidates should be selected just like other run- ning animals--for style and speed. He said they were all good scouis and square-shooters, Dr. Shire quoted scripture and went to the days of Herod, skated over ancient history and back to modern days, when he regarded himself as "the Adam Beck of North Ontario," as well as a man of experience and education. Gordon McLean, of Ux- bridge, looked into the political fu- tur. with hope but little confidence. President J. J. Gillespie lost no time and called to the platform; James Mahoney, Uptergrove; Dr. E. 5 8 33 7 Blanchard, Cannington; John Ashen- hurst, Goodwood; Charles Meyers, Atherley; Thomas Treleavan, aged 82, and a past president of the asso- ciation; Wm. A, Robinsen and John Weatherell of Brock. Widow Is Cheered Mrs. Sam Sharpe, widow of Colonel Sharpe, former member of the Legis- lature, was called to the platform, and was cheered all the way. President Gillespie explained that on July 5 the Conservatives of North Ontario had decided to call the con- vention to prepare for the coming provincial clection in case it should be called this fall. "We don't know when it will come, but there is no- thing like being prepared. That's the reason you are here. We want a candidate to carry the fight to a successful conclusion, The delegates will get a fair show and when the candidate is selected we will all get behind him." Dr, Peter McGibbon, MP. Brace- bridge, complimented the gathering cn its size and the number of lead- ing men present. "It is not my busi- ness," he said, "to have anything to do with the selection of a candidate, but to get behind him and, elect him to parliament, and I promise you that I will do my duty. I don't know when the election will come, but it is a good guess that it will come in October, and that guess is as good as anybody's," he said amid applause. Back to The Fold Russell Nesbitt, K.C, M.P.P, was given a rousing welcome and ap- plause followed his address. He told why the Ferguson Government should be elected and how neccessary it was for a supporter to come from the riding of North Ontario, which fell from the Tory fold but would come back at the next election, After outlining the work of the Ferguson Government, Mr. Nesbitt launched into the story of the crea- tion of the Hydro-Electric system and its development--the greatest public utility on earth. "Yet," he said, "Mr. Drury, who was premier, made a futile attempt but none the less vigorous, to wreck and ruin that great system by way of the Gregory Commission, "Mr. Sinclair goes about the coun- try and from what he says you would be inclined to think that he was the leader of a great following in the Legislature. His face is always in the opposite direction to progress and improvement. Get the Women In "If you men will only get women to work in this riding there is no doubt about the result, I know that in my own riding I would soon- er have 10 women at election work than 200 men. (Cheers and applause.) I am sorry there are not mére women here today, but let Mrs. Sharpe or- ganize them and the battle is won. The ladies should not forget that it was a Conservative Government that gave them the vote, and the women the of North Ontario must be taken into account." Farmer to Farmers Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, reccived an ova- tion. He talked as a farmer to farm- ers and said the farmer would always remain the great source of wealth in Ontario, "The Conservative party is the agricultural party, and I am glad to be privileged to stand here as the representative of one of the best agricultural ridings in the country," he said. "I live in the same riding as Hon, Mr. Drury. He is a very excellent man but without 'experience, with the result that we in Ontario saw the sad spectacle the like of which was never seen in a British country, a minister of the Crown ar- rested and sent to jail because of the fact that the desire of that ministry was to get something for themselves. That was because many of you farm- ers forsook the old Conservative party. Neither you nor I want to see the unfortunate conditions that obtained from 1919 to 1923. I am glad this condition is over and that wc are getting back to the old system of party government all over Ontario. Do you want a government compos. ed of men chosen by the members of the party for which Mr, Widdi- "field is a representative?" he asked. "The people rose up in 1924 and threw the Government out. Since then clean, honest, progressive government had been the order of the day. The Farmers' Government was composed of men who were not farmers but poached on the farmers of Ontario to poached on thefarmers of Ontario to get all they could for themselves, Will Come Back "I am satisfied you will come back into the Conservative fold," said Mr. Finlayson, "I don't know when it will come, it may be in October or in June, but whenever it does you will send a Conservative to represent you, Of that I am satisfied. Do you want to be represented in the Legislature by a party that can win in only two or three constituencies? It ds your duty to return to the party that has given Ontario clean, honest govern- ment in all its departments, the party that gave you Confederation, the party that built the C,P.R, and the party that did so much towards win- ning the Great War, Many Veterans "I was surprised to sce-the very large number of returned men wear- ing buttons. 'These men love Ontario, the land of their birth. They know that Ontario is not finished but only commencing to show its wealth and its development. Do you want that development and the country run by 'a cabinet of ministers who are only concerned in themselves, to get some- thing out. of it?" Cries of "No!" Mr. Finlayson handed a bouquet to his own department for its important place in supervising a great source of wealth in the forests by consérva- tion of lumber and pulp and restor- ation of its woodland.

Temperance Mistake Referring to the Liquor Control Act Mr. Finlayson said: "I believe Ontario. has settled. thisquestion for the time being at any rate. It is not our problem whether we will have war or peace, Our problems are business issues, and the Ferguson Government has given the province honest temperance legislation. Per- sonally,.it is not what [ and some others would have liked; we think that if strong drink were banished from the land nobedy would suffer, but the great majority of the people didn't seem to think so. A great mistake was made in attempting to make temperance by statute. hat must only come as a permanency by education and experience, There are three ways in which to deal with this question of temperance as an educa- tional problem. First, in the home by the mother; second, in the school by the teacher and, third, in the church by the pastor or priest.

Carolina TRADERS SEE WHEAT HIGHER OVER MONTHS But Sharp Breaks Are Ex- pected in Immediate Future Winnipeg. -- Another week has passed during which the prospect for the Western wheat crop has grown worse under continued dry and very hot weather, The market has not responded by further in- creases in the price level, and has had .some setbacks from the high points reached, in spite of reitera- tion of reports from crop observers, The reason is that the worst has al- ready been said about the Western situatioc and has been repeated so frequently that further .reiteration has nc cfiect, for the present, cn the course of prices. * Imewmdiate market influences and probably those to prevail for the next few weeks must be sought out. side of the weather map of the West, One technical influence, of a bearish cffect, and of immediate, but no permanent importance, has been the passing of the July option from the trading board. "Those who had sold wheat for July delivery had unt! the end of the month to buy back their comtracts or to make delivery. Delivery is made usually in the three top grades, but No. 4 is also deliverable at the very wide discount of 21 cents a bushel, which hardly ever prevails, Position of July Wheat When July opened it became ap- parent that a greatmany sales of July wheat had been made against low-grade grain, and that the sup- plies of the three top grades were entirely inadequate to fll outstand- ing contracts, The three top grades of cash wheat and the July future consequently rose to dizzy heights, the July once getting as high as a $1.82. The lower grades of cash wheat lagged behind, and the spread on No. 4 opened out from the:aver- age of fourteen cents which had pre- vailed uring the year, to the de- livery spread of twenty-one cents, As soon as that happened the rise was checked, as the quantity. of No. 4 on hand at the terminal elevators became available to apply on con- tracts. It was not exactly a corner, bu tnc atenials were there out of which corners are made, On Tuesday, iwth one moreday of July to go, the option dropped 84 cents from its high of the day, to close six cents lower than the previous day. It ap- peared that the squeeze was pretty well over, and that holders of the July option, if they desired to cash in on their position, .had somewhat overstayed their market, This technical pdsition .in July had really little to do with the prices that might be justified for later months, But along with the artifi- cially high prices thus established for the three top grades, it had a certain amount of sympathetic in fluence, \Vith the situation cleared up, the demand for cash 'wheat, at the current prices which are con- siderably aobve export levels, must fall off, and any sudden attempt on the holders of cash wheat, of which in the country, to dispose of it at once might weaken the market decidedly The big carryover from last year which only a few weeks ago was a major factor in depressing the mar- ket, and which diring' the past month seems almost to have been ignored, again hccomes an important con- sideration. - CN [LJ ) Sts, we are now in a' position st the minimem cost. | J.
