k Cheers which echoed and reâ€"echoed throughout the hall greeted the speakâ€" er as he stepped on the platform, and the introduction by the chairman was lost. (Personal congratulations flung across the hall showed. the intimate friendship existing between the candiâ€" date and his constituents, and also that he was no stranger, but rather a perâ€" sonal friend of all. His ability in the House has earned for him a reputation much sought jafter in the political arena and has been a thorn in the side of the present administration.. He pointed out the inadvisability of trying to work Labor and U.F.O. together as an administrative body, using the oil and water example. , Very forcibly he outlined the tactics adopted by the U. F. 0. administration im the appointing of commissions to handle the various questions that confronted the House. During the regime of Premier J. P. Whitney and other Conservative leadâ€" ers, this was not necessary, but the inâ€" experience and inability to govern of the present form of~ government had created enormous accounts in order to engage better . advice. The Gregory i If enthusiasm and. optimism count for anything, then the election of Dr. Forbesâ€"Godfrey for the constituency of West York is a foregone conclusion. Not since the days ‘of Clarke Wallace has greater interest been developed in the nomination of any candidate than that of Saturday last, when Dr. Forbes Godfrey was the unanimous choice of the delegates who assembled in Graâ€" ham‘s Hall for the purpose of selecting a candidate to represent the Conservaâ€" tive Party in the forthcoming Provinâ€" cial elections. Thirty seconds after _Andrfzw Dods, President of the West York Liberal Conservative Association and chairman for the occasion, called the meeting to order, and! the singing of the National Anthem, Dr. Forbes Godfrey was declared the. standardâ€" ‘bearer for the constituency. ‘This in itself is sufficient to ‘substantiate the statement that West York Liberal Conâ€" servatives are united to one common end and that is for the good of. the people. Too long have they watched the interests of the province juggled by an inexperienced and awkward governâ€" ment, and the exemplification of enâ€" ‘thusiasm is only too apparent of the preparedness of the people to change for a Conservative _ administration which has given such efficient governâ€" ment in the past. Only one name was submitted despite the fact that several other names had been mentioned prior to the convention, thus demonstrating unsurpassed loyalty to the people.

Without Sir Adam Beck,. the Hydro would never have been developâ€" ed to the extent that it is toâ€"day, and the great benefits that have been given the people would have been lost. . This great power system has been the means of saving the citizens thousands and thousands of dollars,. and yet the Farmer:Government comes along and tries to curtail the. work. This cutâ€" tailment comes via the appointment of a Commission which has already cost the citizens no less than $17,94.0.00, and except for the forthcoming ~election, there is no saying where this reckless spending programme would end.â€" Sufâ€" fice it to say, it WILL end. on and after June 25th, when the people have a voice in the, matter, Gordon Walâ€" dron, K.C., has benefited to the extent of $11,000.00 _ for _ services rendered, while the advice of Shirley Dennison and Hon. Newton Wesley Rowell has netted them $12,500.00 and «$29,94.0.00 respectively. Why was this necessitatâ€" ed. . ‘When the Conservatives are . in power, they are comprised of, several lawyers‘ and they. render their expert advice free of charge, thus saving the province a great .deal of money. Tho‘ Attorney General got his seat through the deposition of one named Hillyear, who was later rewarded by being apâ€" pointed a Police Magistrate., This was the method adopted _ to let him into power, not having been elécted by.the voice: of the people. Another glaring example of waste was shown when the $40,000,000.00 account had to he reâ€" newed.. ‘This account was in England, and instead of dealing through the loâ€" cal Bank of Montreal at a very low cost of both time and money, Mr. Andy Peploff was delegated. to proceed to England and negotiate for the extenâ€" sion of time. His expenses on the Adâ€" riatic amounted to $1,000.00 and he was also paid at the rate of $80.00 per day for 50 days. Now he is living in California. The doctor mentioned that he was warned to be careful of his‘ health owing to his recent illness, but he was glad to say that he never felt better in his life. He stated that he had been asked .where heâ€"stood regardâ€". ing the O.T.A. "I will stand by the people," was his answer. He had critiâ€" cized‘the law because he wanted it put right; he wanted the law exercised so long as it was the law, and not a conâ€" tinu&ncp, of â€" the. malâ€"administration such as has been handed out during the past four years. "Get rid of Drury, Debt and Taxation,;" were his concludâ€" ing remarks. $ y As soon as the applause had subsidâ€" ed:following the speech of the candiâ€" date, Mr. A. J. Anderson was called on to speak. He urged the support of the candidate and was‘ already assured that it would be given despite the strong opposition that would likely be waged by our opponents at the coming election. In order to maintain . the province it was and is essential that A. J. Anderson It‘s not fair to call on the baby of the Association after calling on the big guns, said Secretary Earl Lawson upon taking the platform. He expressâ€" ed his appreciation at the nomination of Dr. Godfrey and felt that he would be returned, as also would be the Conâ€" servative Party. The people were showâ€" ing a feeling of restlessness and disâ€" satisfaction, which were the inevitable signs of a change at the elections next June. Robert J. Flynn f The popular Mayor of Weston, Mr. R. J. Flynn, was received with prolongâ€" ed applause., He reiterated the arguâ€" ment put forth by Dr. ‘Godfrey to the effect that oil and water will not mix, enlarging on it to some degree.. As Hydro materially affects West York, we: must assure the continuance of the Hydro by returning Dr. Forbes Godâ€" frey and the Conservative Party." It has, been the endeavor of the Drury Government to counteract and disâ€" credit the work that is being carried on by Sir Adam Beck. The Hydro is safe with Sir Adam, but not with the Drury element. | It is‘ impossible for the Farmer and the Labor, Party to coâ€"operate. As the former is an emâ€" ployer of labor and working‘twelve to sixteen hours a day, in order to make up for his enforced! offâ€"time in the winter season, how can he be expected to coâ€"operate with the man who is fighting for an eight and even. a six hour day. . Only the Conservative Parâ€" ty can give the safe and sane adminisâ€" tration so necessary ‘for the governing of the people of the Province of, Onâ€" tarmo. . Make Sir Adam safe for the people by the return of Dr. Godfrey. the Conservative _ Government should be returned to power. Speaking of the wet element that ‘had been credited to the Conservative Party, he drew attenâ€" tion to the election in the .past of John O‘Neill and H. H.. Dewart. |They had both been elected by the Wet clement, whereas George Gooderham, who had assisted in the framing o £ the O. L. A. and who was also a big whiskey manuâ€" facturer, had been defeated..

T. H. Lennox Cheers by ‘threes greeted the everâ€" popular Col. Herb Lennox.. He humorâ€" ously said that he felt ashamed to opâ€" pose an administration §o favorably inâ€" clined to his profession in view of the very large fees that had been paid. He said when the Conservative Party: was in power, fifteen lawyers were in,the House and no Commissions were neâ€" cessary. Strong objection was taken to _ the administration of the Ontario Temperance Act. The Government, through their. vendors, had. sold hard liquor to the yvalue of $3,500,000.00, of which $1,70(x?0‘00.00 was profit. As liquor is sold only for medicinal pur: poses, then it should be sold at cost. he contended.. During the Conservaâ€" tive regime, there were only three wine manufacturers,â€"toâ€"day there are fortyâ€" seven, and the strength of the wine goes as high as sixtyâ€"five per cent. Then. when buying wine you must buy it either by the case or five g"allon keg. What kind of an administration is it that forces the people to buy in these quantities andâ€"yet has a law against it. He, too, had been asked where he stood regarding the \O.T'.A., and he. stated that he was willing to abide by the vote of the people. He criticzed the adâ€" ministration of, the Act and not: the Act. axe.â€"Bosten:Eranscript An authority. on the fuel situation declartes that we must "Jearn to eke out by burning oil, gas, electricity and what not." We are glad he mentionâ€" ed that whatnot. _Mary, hand us the Punctuated throughout by his usual humorous and avitty phrases,, Sam Ryâ€" ding gave a short address that brought the house _ down. He mentioned that four years ago he had run as an Indeâ€" pendent candidate and had polled over four thousand votes. In Woodbridge he received nineteen votes and. it was his intention to thank those supporters personally. "Does anyone want to go to England at $80.00 a day?" was a question that,. drew out considerable laughter.. He said. that he had intendâ€" ed letting his name come before the convention, but had decided to resign in favor of Dra Godfrey.. It was his intention to devote his time to support the doctor ‘and he predicted ‘that on the eyening of June 25th we would see the doctor returned by a. substantial majority, as well as the Conservative Party. $ Len Wallace _ ‘5[ The name of Wallace has been one of. fame throughout West ‘Yorkâ€" for years ‘and it was again the signal for an outburst of applause when Mr. Len Wallace was called to speak. He was very brief, but very emphatic, in his denunciations of the Druryâ€"Raney adâ€" ministration. . ‘Iwo important features had to be guarded. and they certainly were not safe in the hands of the Druryâ€"Raney crowd. Hydro must be protected for the people and the Engâ€" lish language, must be maintained. All through the eastern and northern part of Ontario, the French language was replacing the English, and it is absoâ€" lutely necessary that our rights in that regard should be protected. In speakâ€" ing of the Attorney General, he stated that he had no confidence in him whatâ€" soever and was disgusted with the adâ€" ministration of the affairs of that deâ€" partment. $5.95 BETTER THAN Sam Ryding. gave, them a most interesting exhibition of slight of hand tricks that might be used: to pass an enjoyable evening at any time.
