Owing to the very wet morning the attendance was not large on Sunday morning to listen to an excellent adâ€" dress by Rev. Mr Stevenson on the Lord‘s Day Alliance work in the Methodist Church. With a more favâ€" orable evening, there wasa large atâ€" tendance to bear him in the Presbyâ€" terian Church at night. Mrs W. J.

Hallman of Kitchener motored to Holstein on Sundav and spent the day as guests of Mr and Mrs J. Bilton. The Fooiba.l boys put in a petition HOLSTEIN LEADER TORONTO To show that farmers were more party bound than townspeople he instanced his own township, where even in the big isâ€" He sketched the political career of the present Directorate the majority of whom were former Conservatives, but all had now thrown overboard all ‘party leanâ€" ings. _ As an evidence of the dissatisfacâ€" tion with the present government, he said twoâ€"thirds of the 65 farmer candiâ€" dates were formerly tories. "What has your party done for you" he asked with earnestuess. He bad absolutely no hope for the country as long as two parties were bickering at each other and sacriâ€" ficing the country‘s interests while watchâ€" ing each others movements. The chosen task of the Big Interests was to divide the parties at election times and then exploit them afterwards. Farmers were beginning to feel a class consciousness ; formerly they had been the back bone of the country but did not use their brains. _ The reins of governâ€" ment had been for toolong in the hands of exploiters, but a change was coming and it could not come too soon He re* called the mistakes of the patron moveâ€" ment and has the idea the two parties are trying to crush the present move" ment. J. J. Morrison, one of the seven Dirâ€" ectors of the Provincial U F O is a fluent speaker and next to Pres. Halbert is the leading light of the organization. . He cwened with a flattering welcome to the ladies present. _ He hoped they would use the franchise so intelligently that the whole Dominion would follow Onâ€" tario in giving women this right. . Too bad they were called in just when presâ€" ent rulers had gotthe country into a mess, but he trusted the women would help to clean house . He had severe criticism for both Dept. of Agriculture and Dept of Education. The average child when he leaves the Public School should be fit to take his place in the world. _ Hs touched on the tariff, not advocating absolute free trade, but such changes as would make it imâ€" possible to make a Canadian farmer pay $145 to Massey Harris people for a binâ€" der, when the same binder to his personâ€" al knowledge sold in England for $80.00, He predicted a rousing support for Mr. Leeson in the east and believed Proton‘s majority would be counted by hundreds. Mr. Short, a Proton farmer, and Pres of the largest U. F. 0. Club in the Ridâ€" ing, thought it was time to put party politics on the fence. The cry of "class legislation" as the intention of the farâ€" mers was a false one, but farmers had come to the parting of the ways and as Moses refused to be cailed the son of Pharaoh‘s daughter, so farmers now reâ€" fused to be tagged as belonging to this party or that. Mr Leeson spoke briefly to allow of full time to be given to the visiting speaâ€" kers. _ All his life, he said, he thought farmers were not interested enough in their own business interests. _ They atâ€" tended to the manual labor part of it all right but had not in the past given suffiâ€" cent consideration to the conditions surâ€" rounding the disposal of their products. He next dealt with the inadequacy of farmer representation in parliament, where out of a total of 111 members, only I7 were farmers and half of these not practical farmers. While sonstantly spoken of as "The farmer‘s candidate‘" he wished it distinctâ€" ly understood, that he intended to repreâ€" sent the whole people and it was his aim and ambition to give a square deal to all. The Holstein meeting was presided over by Reeve John McArthur who said in opening that the eyes of all Canada were at the present time, focussed on the farmers. _ He had pleasure in introducâ€" ing Mr. Leeson, whom he had known for manyByears and always found him a gentleman. Mr. Leeson has meetings every day this week and his first meeting on Monâ€" day in Ayton was large and very successâ€" ful, the hall being filled and enthusiasm bubbling over it was reported to us. An afternoon meeting in Molstein on Tuesâ€" day was fairly well attended but thrashâ€" and silo filling no doubt, kept numbers away. Here as elsewhere there was rush and readiness to put their names on his nomination paper and had 1000 inâ€" stead of 100 been required there would have been no trouble in getting them. Rarely have we seen such a quiet campaign and voting day only ten days away. _ Both candidates are no doubt busy and their autos will not rust out. for to be allowed the privilege of the lower part of the Hall for amusement dancing and games, etc. This was refused. _ It had been thought by a number of citizens that it would be a splendid thing for the village and our young people if some place or room could be placed at the disposal of the young folk for the winter months so that they might meet and have a good time together bere instead of having to go away elsewhere, Other places are profiting by our young people‘s company and we are consequently the losers.

The election of a goodly proportion of such men as Geo, M Leeson would mean the dawn of a new day for Ontario and he hoped on the night of the election to rejoice over his victory, _ God Save the King and the meeting dispersed. Other points touched on were : the constantly increasing Provincial expenâ€" diture and even in the public accounts were large sums that the auditor would not vouch for ; the farmer dare not exâ€" port hides so as to retain our own leathâ€" er, but boots did not come down in price so with milk, cheese and other commodâ€" ities, regulations were not in the interost of the great producing class. "The high cost of living is a natural result of the depletion of rural populaâ€" tion. _ You have elected your members from the wrong class of people. _ If you want your country run economically you must select men who have been used to economy. . You are not patriotic men as long as you remain supporters of partyâ€" ism, at whose doors must be laid the blame of much of the debauchery that has disgraced Canada and put burdens on the people. *We don‘t want a revoâ€" lution, we want a reformation and that cannot come until we have a larger proâ€" portion of farmers in the Legislature. Why charge class legislation? Farmers are quite capable to take their share in ruling the "country," were some of his statements in a vigorous speech. sues of 1911 there was a change of only 5 votes in 1200 as compared with the prevâ€" jous election, while in towns the change was much greater. If the farmers were doing so well, as is alleged why are they running away from it ? and he quoted figures showing the ."tragedy" of rural depopulation in the last 20 or 30 years and still going on. "There is something wrong when farmers have to work 15 or 16 hours, while others are clamoring for anp 8 or 9 hour day. EGREMONT COUNCIL LOney) 4 3y __ _ NE NATTHMEBL #IBGâ€"to church .
