Mason. Gur Unign decided to give Mr. Mason a little ore time and an adjourned Testing was called for Oct. 15, at Brooklin. | We would just add that Mr. Mason is reported by the Press to have said that at some future date on the platform he will declare his attitude on' the Temperance issue. Regarding Mr. Sinclair, it is only fair to state that the platform of the Ontario Prohibition Union was submitted to Mr. Sinclaif] 48" leader of the Liberal Party, prior to the initial meeting of the South Ontario Prohibition Union held at Whitby on October 3rd; Mr. Sinclair replied de- finitely stating that he will grant either a plebiscite or referendum as maybe requested by the Temperance People. We wish to further state emphatically that the South Oni rio Prohibition Union. had NOT pledged its support to either of the candidates and did not do so until they met at Brooklin, Tuesday, October 15th; to consider' Mr. Mason's reply. - Bo «AL that meeting the following was the asclution adopted by the South Ontario Prohibition Union: WHEREAS-- From the viewpoint of the Prohibitionists of South On- tario, the main issue in/the present election campaign is, --"Have the people the right to speak for themselves upon the question of the prohibition or control of the liqour traffic, "both as' to- manufacture and sale; and' ean' they secure that right of referendum or plebiscite free trom political entanglements?" AND WHEREAS-- "Hon. G. Howard Ferguson has distinctely stated that he will not grant that right, and that the control of liquor is a matter of Government concern.' He further states that if his Government's policy upon this question is not accord- ing the wishes of the people, the voters can have recourse to the ballot and can turn his Government out. AND WHEREAS-- Mr. F. L. Masgn, the Conservative Candidate, is a sup- porter of Mr. Ferguson in this policy, and has definitely declared himself as such; AND WHEREAS-- Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, the Liberal Candidate for South Ontario' has definitely stated that he will grant either a plebiscite or a referendum as may be requested by the tem- perence people to give the people an untrammelled right to voice their will upon this most important matter. THEREFORE BE IS RESOLVED-- That the. South Ontario Prohibition Union will support Mr. Sinclair in his candidature, as a representative who has definitely promised to accord to the electors the right to think and vote for themselves upon this increasingly im- portant issue.

From this car we had a splendid view of the moun- tains. About 10 o'clock we entered the Bow River Valley and were soon at Banff. Passing on from here we soon came to the Great Divide-- marked by a large sign with "Alberta" on one side and "British Columbia" on the other, and with a stone in the centre. This is 5,382 feet above sea level, A stream. at this point divides --part running west and part east. One can stand on a point of rock and' put one hand into water running into the Pacific Océan and the other into water running into the Atlantic. We next passed into the Yo-Ho Valley and followed the Kicking Horse River, The scenery here is very beautiful and something to be re- membered. We could see the snow on 'mountain tops and a glacier with snow 140 feet deep. Kicking Horse emptiés into the Columbia River which the railway follows, winding around the mountains. We passed over a bridge 312 feet 'high, which is said to be the highest single span bridge in Canada on the C.P.R. system. As we wound around the mountains we could look down to the river 1300 feet below. Next we came to a tun- nel five miles long and with a mile of rock overhead. ' Along here there were snow shutes built to protect the trains from snow slides. Arrived at Kamloops at dark and in the morning found that the moun- itains were still with us and that we were following the Fraser River, in- to which the Columbia empties. We could see an occasional farm and ranch and some gardens. The timber was now getting larger and taller as we neared Vancouver where we ar- rived at 8,30 a.m, Tuesday, August 13. We were met at the station by Mr, W. J. Brown, an uncle, whose wife was Margaret McLean, now deceased, and who was a sister of my mother. We were also met by the Vancouver S.0.E. Reception Committee who were at the train to welcome the S.0.E. delegates. While in Vancouver we stayed at the Patricia Hotel, a very nice comfortable hostelry. At 2 pm. at the Moose Temple on Burrard Street, the Mayor, in a well- worded address, welcomed the Sup- reme Officers and delegates to the city, Mr. A. Y. Williams from St. John, Newfoundland, made a very suitable reply. Wednesday found us again in session at 9.30. At 1 p.m. the members with their wives and lady friends were entertained to a boat trip to Wigwam Inn at Indian River Park where luncheon was serv- @d. At 7 pm. the Vancouver brethren entertained the delegates and their ladies to a banquet and dance at the Georgia Hotel. Thursday the delegates were again entertained at luncheon by the Mayor of Vancouver at the Georgia Hotel and this was followed by a sight-seeing trip through Stanley Park where we saw some very large trees and one large enough for a motor car to stand in, Friday morifng 'Supreme Lodge was again in session and an interest- .ing event was the presentation to Bro.
