not a prohibition government just as the Conservative parly in Ontar io is not intrinsically a prohibi tion parly and it may conse quently he expected that the rebuff will frighten it back to bedrock

into the affections of the ratepayers al so into a third term as Mayor if he wants it And when ho had made his roar ho stopped and the Hearst Government went on with its taxing for war purposes which never materialize How ever Mayor Church made his point clear enough namely that the Hearst Government taxed simply because the taxing was good And so the account stands So far as the people of Ontario
