Court 01 anision - Brown, Parker The plebiscite vote on the house of Industry in the County of Bruce. carried by about 2000 majority. The Owen Sound Sun in speaking of the matter and making a comparison with the action at our County Coun ty Council says: “We have reason to believe that on this matter some of the County Councillors of Grey grossly misrepresent their constitu- ents. and it is therefore no wonder . that means were resorted to by a cer- tain elementin the County Council to balk an expression of Opinion of the electorate. It is a strange thing that the takingof a plebiscite, which was a perfectly legal thing in the County of Bruce would have been an atrociously illegal thing in the Coun- ty of Grey, The electors of Bruce did not allow any opinion of a pro- vincial GOV’PI‘I‘llnellt to stand in their way in this matter. Whether legal or illegal the plebiscite was held and the people went to the polls and proâ€" nounced emphatically in favor of a house of industry.” ier. however, has committed himself on the question, and the Globe con- firms and gives publicity to his ut- terances regarding the Settlement. True, Mr. Laurier apparently stood at variance with the hi- erarchy during the last campaign but now with the Head of the Church in opposition to his School policy it will be interesting to watch how he will handle his cards when the ques- tirn comes up again.
