h ' The meeting that followed was of a very lively character. In the first place there was a difference of opinion as" to whether the meeting should be held immediately or not, Dr. Forbes God- trey suggesting that it be postponed until 8 o’clock in order that those pre- l sent who wished to go to NVoodbridge) Fair might do so. In this he was op- l posed by supporters of some of the; other candidates, and especially those in favor of the Labor candidate, many ‘ of whom took part in the squabble that ensued. One moved that a chair- man be appointed and that the meet- ing be started at once, and to this Dr. Godfrey replied that he had hired the hall for both afternoon and evening and that a chairman would not be appointed unless he said so. This brought James Simpson to his feet with the remark that if proprietorship of the hall was going to interfere With democracy holding a meeting there, he was willing to hold a meeting on any public corner in town. Finally, after some discussion of the sugges- tion, it was decided to make D. Rown- tree, Jr., chairman, so that a, vote on the question of whether or not to hold a meeting, was taken, and the major- ity stood in favor of proceeding at once. During the debate on the mat- ter, personalities became quite gener- ar and some language that occurred at the rear of the hall induced the police to interfere. A Lively Interchange The chairman made Dr. Godfrey the first speaker, with a time allow- ance of ten minutes and the privilege of fifteen minutes' time after the oth- er candidates had had their say. Dr. Godfrey said that he had represented the riding for eleven years and while in the Legislature had paid particu- lar attention to legislation in favor of the control of disease and had been successful in bringing about the adop- tion othuany measures of importance to the health of the community, in- cluding the establishment of the Wes- ton Sanitarium for consumptives, the free dispensing of antitoxin for diph- theria and for influenza and the es- tablishment of reception hospitals tor ‘the mentally afflicted. He had never \made a partisan appeal on the flow of he House, but had worked on the linwor which he, as a physician, was best fitted. With regard to the O.T.A., he had no excuse to offer for having sdpported its adoption in 1916, Weston, Oct. 13.--The Town Hall here was well filled at 3 o’clock this afternoon when the returning officer F. L Bull, announced the names of the candidates nominated tdr the riding of West York as follows: Forbes Godfrey, M.D., Mimico, Conservative; James Simpson, journ- alist, Toronto, Labor; F, G. Whetter,, butcher, Laws Avenue, Toronto, Lib- eral; C. Lorne Fraser, lawyer Etobieoke Township; Sam Ryding, merchant, Pine Crest Road, Toron- to, Independent. After delivering his nomination speech, C. Lorne Fras- er withdrew from the contest. AT Ilullllnlll MEETING F. C. Wetter, Liberal, and sy" Ryd- ing, Independent, Enter the Contest Dr. Forbes Godfrey and James Simp- son had Lively Interchange f full IN HEM] _ fllll WEST nlll( as a measure of necessity at that time. He said that in 1916 he was doing all in his power to further the Empire's cause in the war and he asked: "Where was my opponent, Jas. Simpson, at that time?" This ques- tion was answered with cries of "In New Zealand," by the doctor's sup- porters, and a general uproar from those in support,of Mr. Simpson. The speaker referred to the latter as a fine sample of the people who so frequent- ly demanded the privilege of tree speech, and in conclusion, said that he wanted the support of'the residents of the riding who were good, white Britishers, rather than that ot any outside partisans. i Mr. Siznpson's Policy James Simpson said that he had been nominated by Labor and endors- ed by the U.F.O. Rather than act as a physician on being elected to the Legislature, he proposed to deal with the causes of the disease, such as want of sanitation in quarters where workers were obliged to spend a great share of their lives. He referred with bride to his record as a member of the Board of Control and said that he experienced a feeling of honor at be- ing called Bolshevik, which he said meant majority. He said he stood for constitutional government in Ca- nada; a, remark that drew the cry, "Same as in Russia," from the audi- ence, and he went on to say that he wanted to improve the electoral sys- tem by introducing proportional rep- resentation. As a citizen he would vote tour "Noes" on the referendum. Alderman Whettev had been a Lib- eral and his friends asked him to stand for election when it was un- derstood that Major Straight was to stand in the riding, but refused. He now demanded a free hand it he was to be sent to the Legislature. He appealed to his hearers to support him Alderman Sam Ryding announced‘ himself as an Independent as the Con- servatives and Liberals were scrapping among themselves. He gave Dr. Godfrey credit for what he had done in the Legislature, but said that that was as little as he could do as a physi- cian. What you want is progressive ideas and changes in Weston, he an- nounced, and 'he pointed to the im- provements in West Toronto since the time he was first elected chairman. With regard to the temperance ques- tion, he said he was an Englishman and wished to do as he pleased. He would ask for the resignation ot the License Commisicn, as he thought it degrading that in a place the size of Toionto, the people should have but two places to go to get liquor. He stated that it was his opinion that Dr. Godfrey had as much liquor in his house as he had: a statement to which Dr. Godfrey took exception. Mr. Ryd- ing 1atesymivip12red the effect of his WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1919 Gf the strength of mis record as a business man and in the City Coun- cil. the evening; Reeve F. Miller, Deputy Reeve W. M. Graham and Councillor Jas. Synge, all of the township; John Bayliss of Mount Dennis, and John R. MacNicol of Toronto. Mr. MacNichol said in reference to a Mothers' Pension Act, "The duty of the state is to keep the mother and the children together." Dr. Godfrey stated he was instru- mental in spending $880,000 yearly on tuberculosis. in comparison with $3,000 the first year he was in Par- liament; that now the poor man's child had an equal chance with any other if afflicted with diphtheria, where the treatment formerly cost $290; that there were serums for enteric and typhoid fever and syph- ilis manufactured in the Provincial laboratories, which had also been supplying both Britain and the Un- ited States during the war, and that there was a detention hospital estab- lished where 1300 out of 1900 patients had been cured ot mental trouble. These were some of the things the speaker modestly claimed as having alone advocated from the floor of the The chairman demanded of Dr. Godfrey that he tell not what the Ontario Government had done, but what he himself had done in the 11 years that he had represented West York. House A torchlight procession escorted Dr. Forbes Godfrey, M.P.P., to Mar- shall’s Hall, Mount Dennis on Friday night. Brief addresses l,were given by Dr. H. F. Sproule, chairman of To the Electors of West York I wish to thank those electors who so kindly signed my nomination pap-l ers and others who interested them- selves in bringing my name before the electorate as an Independent Candi- date in the coming election. Al- though " realized that I was being brought before the electorate at a very late date I consented because I felt it would be a disgrace if there was not a candidate in the field who would stand four-square in the prohibition question and vote four “noes” on the referendum as any real leader ot the people at this time should do. At that time I did not Know that Mr. Frank J. G. Whetter was in the field, not until he declared himself on 110111- ination day did I know where he stood on the only important issue of the day in the Province of Ontario. As an independent I took my stand clearly on this issue, namely: an energetic and unqualified support of the pre- sent prohibition policy of Sir Wil- liam, Hearst and vote four "noes" on the referendum ballot. I challenged Dr. Godfrey, the Conservative candi- date, and My. Frank Whetter, the In- dependent Liberal candidate, to take the same position and stated that it either or both of them did so, I would withdraw from the field. Dr. God- trey made a brave attempt to show that he would stand by the Hearst Government in doing whatever the people of Ontario told it to do, but re- fused to say whether or not he would vote four "noes" on the referendum "ballot. Mr. Whetter, on the other hand, came out squarely and took my position on both points, stating that although brought out by the Liberal party, he reserved the right of inde- pendent action on the prohibition question and would support the Hearst Prohibition Policy and vote tour "noes" on the referendum ballot. UH. (ll0ffll15 MEETING AT MUUNT DENNIS Mr. Frank Whetter having taken this stand, I withdrew my candidature satisfied that the temperance people of the electorate had a candidate who represented what they were hoping and fighting tor and intended to vote for on Monday next. Although I thought it would be unfair to some who signed my nomination papers if I withdrew in favor of Mr. Whetter, yet personally I will use my influence on behalf of his election and recom- mend him to all who were satisfied with my stand. j While in Europe studying the mar- ket for Canadian meat products, Mr. H. S. Arkell, Litre Stock Commission-. er, discovered with respect to beet cattle that a problem exists that will prove a. worthy test of Canada's nerve, ingenuity and determination. Ate- cording to Mr. Arkell’s statement that appears in the October Agricultural Gaiette, the difficulties are great, but they are not insurmountable. He says: i "In the Argentine and Australia are more and better cattle than in Cana- da and these countries are proving much cheaper sources of supply. The Argentine has landed live cattle in Italy' and is proposing to do likewise for Germany via Antwerp. The Un- ited States is trading with France and is busy Jn Holland, endeavoring to secure passage to Germany via. Itot- terdam. We have secured this con- cession for Canada on account of the health Of Canadian cattle and it now remains to see what advantage we can take of it. Two Canadian firms only, one Western and one Eastern, have as yet dared to face the risks of live cattle export, and they de- serve all the success and profit which they are likely to obtain from it. I am firmly ot the opinion that this live cattle trade must become a ne- cessary part of our cattle policy. So far as Europe is concerned, We are only at the beginning of this business," even if in the end it prove not to be permanent. Germany, France and Belgium are now in the market for fat cattle and the landed price is from 65 pounds sterling to 75 pounds sterl- ing per head. Further, next spring there will he large demand tor feed- ing and breeding cattle, the latter chiefly of the Holstein and Shorthorn sorts. I recommend the organization of companies of producers to join with commission men in the devel- opment of this business. The present avenues ot distribution must be wid- ened; otherwise other countries will secure the business to Canada's dis- advantage." V assertion by saying that he had no liquor in his house and was as good a temperance man as any. A I’rohibitionist Mr. Fraser declared himself an in- dependent prohibition candidate, but said if either Dr. Godfrey or Mr. Whetter would announce that they were prepared to vote four "noes" he would withdraw.

Miss Skilling, with the grafonola and classes ot boys and girls from several Torontopschoo1s, exemplified the value of that instrument in the school room in securing freedom and rythm in writing, precision in physi- cal exercises and music appreciation. If trustees had been present they would have been persuaded as the teachers were of the profitable use ot the gramophone in the school, not tor entertainment, but for developing the physical, intellectual and aesthetic. the way for good laws and desirable social conditions. The visit to Hamilton was just as profitable tor the time it lasted as it the trip had been to Buffalo or New York, for the schools of the ambitious city are well to the front in organiza- tion and teaching. Twenty-two ot the schools were visited by various groups of teachers.
