Machin's Unique Career 3 (Toronto Saturday Night) It has been the lot of a few public Speakers to make so fine an impression on audiences in ail parts of Ontario as has Col. Harold A. C. Machin, M.P.P., the President of the Canadian Liberty League, and one of the most act- Ive advocates of sane liquor legis- lation. His speeches have not only been fearless, but logical in their advocacy of real temperance reform, which Will eliminate the bar as a place where intoxicating Jiquors are sold, and at the same : time wipe out the vast under- ground traffic which is ai Proseiy promoting drunkenness, and un= respect for law and or- let. Ten years ago many mem- bers of the Dominion Alliance would have welcomed the speech- es of Col. Machin as an effective | contribution to the cause of abol- ishing the bar and placing the li- quor traffic under control that would produce a minimum of ab- from men like William Jennings Bryan, "Pussyfoot" Johnson, and other leaders of the Anti-Saloon League of the United States, they men like Col. Machin, who believe that temperance is recon- cilable with personal liberty, and the principles of the common law of England as enemies. At. that time Hon. N. W. Rowell, the late {F. S. Spence and others were eu- | logistic of those who ,0pposed to and un- > system of dealing with the liquor problem, were willing to co-operate in combating the evils of the open bar. To-day the are. denouncing these moderates as the worst en. emies of reform. ; It was to voice the views of such men that the Citizens' Liber- ty League was formed, with Col. Machin as president, and he has prohibition as a fantastic workable {proven their most effective plat-| | form champion. Though of Eng-{ lish lineage and education, his | i ; lareer of tireless energy breathes the spirit of wide-awake Cana dianism.. He 'was born in 1875 'he son of Canon Machin, a rever- 2d Anglican clergyman of For' : J Before he had completed his le 'Studies, the South African war Drivate=in the 1st Canadian Con ingent. / wa Oromoted to the rank of Lieuten. It. and afterwards Captain in the south African Constabulary, onc 1 the finest forces jorganized un ler Lord Kitchener. On his retur: # | 0 Canada he was called to the Intario Bar and commenced prac: 'ce.at Kenora (then Rat Portage) "he spirit of adventure was upo- 'm however, and he spent thre uccessive summers exploring th | ildsi of Northern Ontario: anc 'uebec. His knowledge of th 'ilds both North and South of the quator has indeed been recogn. "ed by his election to the covefec onor of Fellow of the Royal Geo raphical Society of Great Britain In 1908 Col. Machin was elect 4 to the Ontario Legislature ar iberal-Censervative member fo Ye riding of Kenora, and was al 9 returned at the: general elec 'ons of 1911 and 1914. On the -utbreak of the war he raised the '4th (Northern Ontario) Battal on, and went overseas as its com. | wanding officer. On the adoptior 1 f conscription 'in 1917 he war | 2rought back to Canada and ap ointed head of the Military Ser. rice branch of the Department o Militia and Defence. His admin. 'stration of delicate duties and es | pecially the spirit of candor anc {tolerance he displayed, won hin a multitude of friends. Col. Ma chin has always been noted fo his independence of outlogk. I {1912 he and Col. Hugh Clark then a member of the Legislatur: for Centre Bruce, were the onl: Conservatives to support the mo tion of Hon. Mr. Rowell calling fo- the enactment of woman's suff. rage. Though he was but a fev {years 'ahead of his time, many of his fellow Conservatives express ed indignation at this break fron party lines, but now that the wo. show the same record as Col Machin. ov : To-day, taking their cue William, Ont.
