Here he got his primary education and later his introduction to the multifarious work of a South Grey farm. After some years his ambition led him to study. _ He took a course in High School and in medicine in Indiana, graduated, and for some years had a successful practice there. His health causing him anxiety, he came back to the land 13 years ago. bought the farm he now liveson acjoining Varney and by his industry and in .slligence has developed into a successful farmer. He and his two sons work 260 acres. While Mr Leeson does not profess to be a public speaker, he is abundantly able to give a reason for the hope that is within him. Hisintegrity and good judgment have won for him the high esteem of the U.F O. membership. The writer has known him for over 30 years and believes that esteem is not misplaced â€" The honor done him now is a case where the office sought the Man, not the man the office. A word as to the personality of the canâ€" didate chosen at the Convention on Friâ€" day last is in order, as he is not as widely known in the Riding as he will be. His mother lives with a daughter in Mt. Forest and five brothers and four sisâ€" ters will be interested in the outcome of their eldest brother‘s political plunge.

Vollet, Clerk With which is incorporated the Holstein Leader The Review this week and in coming weeks contains advertisements both for and against the questions to be submitted to the people in the coming Referendum. We are not in the least in sympathy with the Citizens‘ Liberty League whose mesâ€" sage appears on page 5; instead we strongly oppose any slackening of the reâ€" straints now placed upon the liquor traffic. We recognize however that the League would possibly have cause for complaint were the public press closed to them, and only the other side of the question allowed to be heard. Open disâ€" cussion is the bett»â€"r method, and by presenting the views of opponents, temâ€" perance advocates may ascertain their arguments, and thus be ready to successâ€" fully combat them. _ Our editiorial posiâ€" tion is that of uncompromising hostility to the soâ€"called "Liberty League" whose aims, if achieved, would restore the old hateful gonditions, and be trumpeted everywhere as a victory for the liquor men. _ Thae call to every good citizen is to prevent that by voting four crosses in the "no" column.
