to making their decisions for the cnsting of the ballots the one thing that wumi l juppoicd to he an issue has been pronounced on by nil leaders and there are three different altitudes ah we see it the capital i of the conservative party hits said there will be no referendum on the liquor question while his party is in power they will tnke all the blame and if it doesn t succeed they will try some thing else the question arises just what would be designated as success the nominal head of the liberal party is lukewarm in his btand on the liquor issue he would give a referendum when the people demand it his attitude is a step more democratic and advanced than that of the head of the conserve tive leader he promises better enforcement of ihe present liquor law the hend of thut part known a the progressives mokes an out and out stund in opposition to that taken by the conservative party there will be a liquor plebiscite within one year if the progressive party arc put into power the manifesto of this party also declares that a stop of the manufacture and sale of liquor will be made within the province there are three choices given the electorate the failure of the liquor control act is apparent to every one but premier ferguson it would seem in the previous election he estimated ontario b cxpendi tur on liquor at 5 000 000 1 1 has reached ten hints that amount and we won t show how much more until the day after election the fmr trial the premier asks would therefore seem little more than an excuse for continuing for another four years an att thai does not promote temperance mr sinclair s polic is for temperance udvnncc men t in not too quick stages mr lethbndgc of the progressive party offers the real planlc of a temperance platform the question never should have been allowed to enter politics the progressive party and the liherul party provide the way of getting it out of polities pro hlbltion is the issue in the provincial election the way for prohibitionists to vote is clear cm whercvei a progressive candidate is in the meld if he be t follower of hi3 leader their leading plank is bone dry prohibition the liberal party offers u good second choice and a step in prohibition ndvunu ment over the conservative party which is seemingly out and out wet the premier has made his state njcnts it is for those who desire temperance ud vanccmem to give the answer itje prohibition ques hon 13 at present in politics let the public say that they arc ready for us removal ontario hus never yet voted for prohibition when the question waa complicated
