am proud f halton county again as i always have had reason to be when measures to curb indul gence in strong drink had been an 1 issue before the people for the pott fifty year this good old county ho voted dry every time that a vote baa been taken that i can remember and it has voted dry again in no uncertain way i tell you x am more thankful than i have ever been beforoithink that the province went dry lost thurs day there seemed to be more at stake than ever before someway yoo know i am juat a little afraid that t young folks ore more forward than they used to be they go in droves more and what onedoes the others are inclined to do and if we had government liquor tores where everybody who hod the money would have free access to liquor theredbo more or less imbibing for the funtf the thing thank goodness were not to have free traffic in llauor and so therell be leas anxiety about them than there would have been if the o t a had been defeated 1 have a good idea now why so many- mother were anxious to vote and i am glad so many of them did and voted the right way no one can blame tho mother of boys and girls for wanting to have the country keep dry and for voting that way 1 and then you know 1 have been i very fearful about what would happen if liquor sale was allowed and auto mobile were kept tmnlng i was good deal impressed with what henry ford la reported to have said some time ago that- liquor and gasoline mass very dangerous mixture never much liked the automobiles they are too fast for me anytime and i always feel timid when im out for a drive with any of my friends well 1 made up my znlmrbome weeks ago tf government sale carried that td had my last fide in a motor car x would never again accept an invita tion to go for a drive not even with the preacher not that id suspect that our preacher would commence drinking because he could get booso easily nor- any other of my good friends for that matter but id be cared of my fife that had meet some other chap on the road- drilling who had been imbibing and might be see ing double and the most uaruful driver anywhere would not be able- to keep out of his way well im glad and thankful too thac im not to be deprived of an occasional urlve after njl and im glad for other people too were nol to hgve free access to liquor and well all feel safer im wure even tb people who didnt quite understand the risk of government sale and voted will the moderattonlsts say im glad mr- tterguson the premier is talking good common sense now and declares hell do his best to enforce the uiw better than il has been in some places and 1 believe hell do it i read a piece in fhe papr two or three weeks ago too where lie said to albert moore in a letter which he signed himself that if the people voted to sustain the o t a had that fhe weak spot in the law would be stiffened up i read unit lileco over two or three times und for two reasons klrst because the promise sounded good to mo and second be cuuae mr kerguson letter was sea to dr moore and hes one of our 0w1 boys- 1 knew albert when he wa kneehigh to a grasshopper hay he climbed up weland im proud of him and i think other people ought to be proud that he had so much to do in organising for this big temperance fight and bringing it through to vic tory hes one of our ownboys you know this isnt the first big fight hes been in on moral questions elthur he stands pretty high in his churoli and i understand ills work all the ttse is aloug the line of doing things to help other folks well i didnt got much excited ovnt the right ust thursday i felt euro thst right would prevail and when 1 beard the good news early in ae evening that 647 of the people of acton bad voted dry and that ihe o t a had a majority of hi in this old town of ouray i just hobbled heme to tell mary and neither of ua want out again that night jcarly next morning a neighbor called to tell us that the province hud sustained the act by between 30000 and to000 x telj yoo i felt glad and have been getting gladder ever si rice a i havo kept on medlutlnrabout the tnattsr that day i heard that there were u let of folks in town who didnt- sleep much thursday nlghl pbe dry got excited when the report began to- oofne in- showing wet majorities and 1 betlgve these continued until the wet j had over to 00 of a majority no wonder the supporters of the o jr a folt bad along about thut tlmo but they tell me that at 430 the dcy majorities commenced to bo reported anil they cnmomn then in quick suc- ewuilon until about eleven oclock the trooo majority was willed out und thn majority began to iuoin in tho dry columns thin never uult until about midnight tho dry majority renohid lo liweeh jzoooq and 2c000 and 1 im- lleve it is ntlll climbing and in now over 40000 well any i think thal4 pretty good if my oul minviry servoij rfttnight thats considerably more or a majority than mr fergusons party got when they went litloiiower last jtenr my how my tory friends ra- jotced

out too about the mi mo number of oonstltuonccs voted dry i ant tbursdn an mr ferguson bus nupihirters lit the house well well look now for he prermir to make the amendments to tho o t a he talked about n couple of weeks ago i think everybody will be wllh hlmljf ho fixes he liw so that loo- loggers will be jul ted tor tlmlr drat offence nobody wants the bootleg gers the moderation blackguard ed them rn all their advertisements and the b t a folks never had an use for them anyway and did their level beat to have- them fined heavy or put in goal ever since the act was passed five or six years ago hny do you know my old head snys that if alt the modaratlonlsts and the o t a peoplowtu get toothei and work that the bootleggers to tho vary last one of tho lawless crowd can be rounded no in a month lets try it anyway i cant do much but im not afraid to do what l can thl rnmnslgn and its outcome raw taken me far hack in memory i recall tbe first temperance measure eobmlt- tod the duncan act away back lxfy years ago i remember more distinctly the election on the bcott act in 1b79 fortyfive years ago this old county was the first in canada to submit the nw law and it carried by a bur majority this act was in farce for number of years and worked wlthj la large measure of satisfaction tbe late george black of the fourth line saqueoing was the inspector he performed his duties fearlessly and was a terror to evildoers the late william young of oakvtlle was polle magistrate he was always fair and just but when evidence was presented to substantiated charges the guilty i ml r tie learned that the law meant what it said after five or six years the act wan repealed and the liquor license act again- came into force those of us who era amon tbe old folk r quite distinctly tbe increase in drink ing and dsunkennen and misery and want and how the women and chil dren in many home suffered because the husbands and fathers indubred in drink and spent money for liquor whch should have been used for home necessities and comforts those weru the days when the baixooms held sway and liquor was easy to get knowing what i do of the post i am very thankful for this community that government control got its blsnx eye last thursday for i am quite sura plan of distribution of whiskey would have been worse than the bar room tho old llccnso law ullowlntf liquor to be od in u10 barrooms prohibited theroale of liquor by th bottle it had to uo drank on the prumlso government control unllto other huiifl prulipilt drinking tho llquur un the premise where it is purchased und it
