General Superin- tendent oi the Methodist Church, en- tered a very strong protest against the day of voting and the method of the vote. He could say to the gov- ernment that personally he did not feel i'ustified in going to the poll when the ballot boxes were stuffed with 200.000 votes beiore he got there. That Was the biggest ballot- box stumng the country had ever known. I! he judged the voice at the convention rightu' the people wens not going to no turned aside by academical nonsense of men in seats high and mighty. They did not ask for .any advantage over the liquor m. they simply asked for British un- play. He also said that it wag decided not ’to hold a vote at the they would ask the government to tabethe vote on the date of the gen- eral elections. He did not see how the government could justify itself by' taking the academical position that such and such a majority must be polled to anions the law. They, could. he said. move the temperance and prohibition people 0! the country to show their indignation. and put down their feet with a. good deal of courage on the day that the indigna- tion ought to be shown. THE Psalm-18's REPLY» Replying to the deputation Mr. Ross said thst when the government. had approached the question of “parâ€" tial" prohibitbn, as Dr. Carmen had discus-ind it, _ they were confronted with the existence of a good licence law, which would have to be dis- pensed with, and with the fact that the province had twice pronounced. in five: of total prohihition. The Plzemier'Roasâ€"You are not, right. there. ' Rev. D. McKayâ€"It has not been adopted by the Alliance. but we have. under protest. submitted to it. Rev. D. McKay of Woodstock, pres- Sdent of the Alliance, in introducing. the deputation. reminded the premier; that he was an honored viceâ€"presir dent of the Ontario branch. which; they represented. They came, he said to impress upon the government! tWo pointe in regard to the present! situation: (1) that the vote should‘ be n m:- one. and (2) that it shouml be taken in an opportune time. By; a fair vote they meant that a ma- jority should carry. as on other quee-g tlons. Regarding an opportune timo‘ for taking the vote, the general opâ€" inion of the convention had favored the day of the municipal elections. Any other day. the speaker contend- ed. would lay the Voters open to an tlmjdetlon and boycott. He thought that the clause rqerding the date of .the vote you the most objectionable W “who. am; Win the date would be 1; great help, and be fairer to both sides. g It hnsbemstated. Dr. McKay went on, tht the retereudnm had been ad- opted by the Alliance.

Far from it. 3 ! Had it been an easy thing the Gospel f! would have shown far greater mums "than it had shown in the last two I ‘thoueand years. They had, there- ? fore, cast about to find aabasis that iwould give -a reasonable assurance ' that the law would be enforced. Some ' i of the most influential clergymer: and ' religious newspapers had declared ' that a large majority, some saying as high as 60 to 75 per cent should. be required.

Continuing, he asked theseâ€"phasent to turn their attentiOn for a few mo- ment! to the terms of the vote,which he considered quite fair. Ii 200,000 voters say that prohibition should . carry it would carry. Coming down [to a practical point, it meant that if three out of every eight voters [on the list said they wanted prohibi- tion they could have it. opposed do not come out?" (brie! ox dissent). The Premier remarked that he had. not interrupted anyone. nnd asked for order. whereupon the dissentient cries immediately ceased. He thought the terms that three on”; of eight voters on the list could carry prohibition were eminently fair. He was in power on the basis of a map jority of the votes polled. and the prohibitionists could have prohibiâ€" tion by a majority of the votes. THE m OF VOTING Speaking as to the date of voting. the Premier said that. with the ex- ception of tow and cities. where school boards and councils were el-‘ ectod on the some day. elections were held on separate dates. Federal and Provincial elections. Scott Act, and local option votes were all held on separate dates. and it. these prece- dents were followed a separate data must naturally!» taken for the pro- hildtion vote.

Prohibition Would then become the law on the lunc‘.the government by proclamation will make it the law of the land, and the government. if this government is in power. will give its whole eflon; to make it eaective. That is as {at as we can go and there is no use bold- ing out any hope that a. bare majcrity of the votes polled will give prohibi- tion. I! the date of the vote was postponed then it might mean a smell Vote. Temperance men are not more likely to go out to vote on a bad day than other people.” THE NONâ€"VOTERS Continuing. he referred to the state- ments that the conditions were such that the entis need_ not go out to vote.

Now, I want you to think it over; three men who go out and vote {or prohibition can tome it Having settled the/t point, the whole question then. was, had they pursued the proper course? Having trusted the people on the first two steps.” he proposed to trust them again. The Scott Act had been en- forced on n majority. and it had not been conclusive. notwithstanding the Vigorous support it had received from such men as Dr. McKay and himself. Prohibition had been carried in six- teen of the United States and reâ€" pealed in eleven of them. en, the president of the Dominion Al- liance. has not add that the micron- dum is not. constitutional." ’go a. step further did not seem un- reasonable.
