Upon the invitation of the Executives of both political political parties, endorsed by public nominating conventions, conventions, I have accepted the nomination as a candidate for the electoral district Of Durham. I am deeply grateful for this expression of confidence confidence on your part, and I respectfully ask for the whole-hearted support of the men and women of both parties in the coming election. Not only the future of Canada, but the future of our civilization is in peril at the hands of cruel, ruthless, Prussian militarism, militarism, and only by the defeat defeat of Prussian militarism can Democracy, Free Government, and Human Liberty be assured their places in the world. The Union Government is pledged to the vigorous prosecution of the war by the enforcement of the Selective Draft, which is designed to provide the necessary reinforcements reinforcements while at the same time retaining in Canada the man required for agricultural production and other essential war industries. I therefore s* nd for the fair, reasonable, and impartial enforcement of die Military Service Act, for the Conscription of Werlth bv the adequate ^taxation of War Profits and increased taxation of Income,'and for the dropping of all personal and party differences and controversies, controversies, at least dunn-r the penod of the war: so th^t Canada Canada may throw her whole energies into the struggle and present a united front to the common foe. The policy of the Urrou Government has already been announced by the Prime Minister, and upon this policy I appeal for your support, irrespective of party ; and particularly particularly do I appeal to the women who, for the first time, are exercising the franchise,.to stand by our gallant Canadians overseas who are offering their h'ves for the defence of the homes, the lives and liberties of the men and women of Canada. May I also call your attention to the nolicy of the new Government in relation to the packing industry of Canada. The Government has taken immediate and effective controi of the packing industry srd has absolutely limited the profits profits which the packers can receive and retain. The Government is resolved that the above principle shall be applied to .other industries in order to ensure that wealth shall bear its just share of the burdens of the war and that large profits shall not be made out pf the necessities necessities of the people. My public duties will prevent my being in the riding for more than an occasional visit during the campaign, and I therefore must depend for my election upon the voluntary co-operation of all the electors of the riding to whom I appeal with confidence in this grave hour of our country's history. ^ N.

CONSCRIPTION IS THE ISSUE To Electors of the County of Durham. Ladies and Gentlemen--At a meeting meeting of the • people field in the Town Hall, Orono, on November 17th, I consented consented to. oppose a lawyer from Toronto, Toronto, viz: the Honourable N. W. Rowell in the coming election on Dec. 17th, 1917. . - I consented, because it appears to be the only way for the Electors to obtain their rights to pronounce themselves on the very serious question before us, viz: Conscription. . I stand as a representative of Labor, and the masses against autocracy and the interests. I oppose'the unfairness of the war-, time Franchise Act, especially that part-of it which allows only a small portion of our loyal women to vote. I defend the rights and the loyalty of our gallant boys, not only in France, but at home. I resent the accusation that the latter are slackers ard cowards. cowards. If those who are proposing this serious step, Conscription, would consent consent to conscript wealth as well as men, and would submit the whole- question to us, I would have more faith in their sincerity. I would be pleased to discuss this whole matter in any part of the county, where the people are unable ;o attend our meetings in the larger centres. In the interests of our common country, I beg you to consider this question on its merits 'for the issues are bigger than the candidates. If elected, I will give a statement to you of every dollar that has been received received in Durham County by certain individuals since the war broke out. This will be found an interesting document. We all want the Allies to win the war in Europe and when the people understand this question and the ballots are counted, it will be found that there are very few in Durham who are in favor of taking the risk of having a war at home. For the sake of a United Canada, I make this appeal and respectfully solicit your vote and influence. I am ever, Your obedient servant, G. W. JONES. Clarke, November 21,1917. 48-3w CATTLE^SALE.
