The boot- leiffrer flourishes like a green bay In the nominations for the Legis- laturo, held on Saturday, 24.'l candi- dates were nominated for the 112 seats, Jind one week from to-day (Wednesday, Dec. 1st) the tvoting will tako plar?. Thoujrh there are many candidates, there is really but one vital issue, viz., whether or not the Ontario Temperance Act shal be sustained. Mr.' Ferguson, in opposition to the Views of Hon. W. F. Nickle, Attor- ney-Geenral (who is running in Kingston) ha.s espoused the cause of the distillers and brewers, and if he has a majority of one in the new Legislature, has pledged himself to re-establish the licensed liquor traffic In the province and have the people Become the agents of the makers of intoxicants in their sale and distri- bution. This poli-ey is in direct opposition to th;^ declared policy of all the polit- ical parties of the province â€" Con- servatives, Liberals and Progressives. No details of it are given, but as was proved by Mr. Ferguson's manifesto at thle start of the campaign, it is icapal)!'' of wide extension, even to the re-establishment of bar rooms, minus the counters. We are well aware that the policy brought forward by Mr. Ferguson has been dubbed by some of his friends "temperance," but there can be no gainsaying that it means the re-establishment of the traffic in in- toxicants in ..the province, with all that such traffic implies in the pro- motion of misery and degredation, as has been well pointed out by Attor- ney-General Nickle. Voters who recognize the improve- ment of conditions effected by the Ontario Temperance Act â€" and es- pecially women electors â€" should not fail to go to the polls and give evid- ence of the faith that is in them, that If the Act is enforced, as it ought to be, the public welfare will be con- served and the happiness and pros- perity of the people maintained. tree in all of them.

To Electors of South Grey At the nomination in Markdale on November 20th J)r. Jartlieson argued that the Government did not propose to do away with the O.T.A. But the l!(;ii. (!. Howard Ferguson, leader of the .^ame party, said a few days aga« •If the O.T.A. remains on the statute books 1 don't want to be Premier af Ontario." From Mr. Ferguson's own words We must conclude he wants to do away with the O.T.A. He further argued that since prohi- bition in dominion and province was not perfect, we must cure the ills by abolishing it entirely rather than moving forward by legislation to a perfect prohibition. Reduced to com- mon terms: "If your roof leaks, take it off and keep dry." In tile four Western provinces the people asked the government to carry out their wishes rather than the gov- ernment asking the people to approve of their policy. Dr. Janiieson in- ferred that these provinces went wet at the desire of the government. (ireat credit was taken for the ad- ministration of the following: The Dept. of Health; Discovery of Serums; Mothers' Allowance; Cheaper Credit, and the Agricultural Enquiry Com- mittee. The Dept. of Health goes on from government to government, each govt, serving the people in the same way. Health didn't descend on us suddenly when Ferguson came into rower. The government didn't dis- cover serums. The Drury Govern- ment drafted the Mothers' Allowance Act. The Ferguson Government has but carried it on. The Drurv Government established Provincial Banks, paying 4' t on de- posits with the purpose of creating a strong financial institution able to serve the poplo with lor" term loans at lower rates of interest. The Bank- ers' Association protested but the gov- ernment withstood them. .Since Mr. Ferguson came into power the inter- est on deposits has been reduced from 4 to 3'/ and the whole sceme has been d'ipnled. To lure the people into thinking that they, and not the Bank- ers' Association, were being served, the wily government reduced the in- terest on long term loans from 6 to 1 5 % '/, . The Ferguson Government has courted its own defeat and it I shrinks from the inevitable verdict of I rural voters by setting the election date when the roads are in the worst possible condition. , December 1st may bo stormy and a former well known resident of I the roads bad, but by careful organi- Flesherton, took place f ron the res- | zation every vote can be polled.

A' CONSTABLE NEEDED After the occurrences in town last *?eek when a house was entered and valuables stolen it is forced upon the village council that something should be done to guard the property of the t>eopIe in town and to bring to the courts thtyse who persist in breaking the laws. It has been several years now since there was a constable in Flesherton, each council allowing the matter to slide thinking that every- thing would be 8U<1"icient as it is. The robbery in town last week was a low down act and the culprits ehould) be brought to account for such a deed. But who is there to do it? Let the council get busy and secure someone to enforce the laws which have been passed and are now on the statutes. Elora, on Monday, Nov. 8th. For the past two years Mrs. Gordon and her husband have been making their home at Sherrill. N.Y., and there, at the home of their son-in-law. Dr. Stephen L. Taylor, Mrs. Gordon died on Friday. Nov. 5th, lit20. Mrs. Gordon was the eldest daugh- ter of the late Robert Smith of Elora and was bom at Bradford, Ontario, September 10, 1844, coming to Elora when about five years old. In 1868 she was married to John truly serve Ontario on December 1st. â€" F. R. OLIVER. PORTLAW Backward, turn backward, oh time in your flight.

Our hunters have returned home WE ARE "STUMPED" Friends of the policy advanced by the U.F.O. and temperance candidate have flooded The Advance office with literature advocating their views and the task of publishing one quar- ter of it would "stump" a daily news- paper. It simply cannot be done. It shows, however, that as election day approaches that the political tempera- ture is going up by leaps and bounds. The perspiring politicians should re- member that there are always two sides to any question, and the other fellow's ideas do not necessarily mci(n that he is doomed to perdition. Take it calmly, but go out and vote.
