He had been away twenty years, and had done well, so well that he thought it would be nice to buy a bit of a farm near the old home place. He bought the farm and paid cash for it--a nice little pile] of money. It looked good, and Jim was proud to be able to close the deal in that way, = After the transaction was closed the parties concerned fell to talking in a general way---a little of everything, the weather, the crops, markets, old acquaintances, etc. Finally Jim's younger brother who had lived in a small city, 'chanced to remark in an offhand fashion--*"It'Il be great if we get back the booze after this election." . Jim eyed him'for a moment and then told him to "Shut up, and don't talk such nonsense." "Pll tell you" he went on "you don't know what you're talking about. Wait till I tell you a few things." "You know that when I left for New York twenty years ago I was pretty' much on my uppers. Fact is that I rode to the big city on the "bumpers" and when I reached there I had very little money in my pocket. I wandered into a saloon to get a drink, 'but I never got it, My luck and my life changed right there and in a funny way. Leaned up against the bar was a big fellow who had had a few glasses--*just enough to make him talkative. This is what he said to nobody in particular and everybody in general. "I fired my foreman this morning. He was dlways getting drunk, and the other fellows was always getting drunk too. 1 drink a bit myself. But it ain't good for business. The fact is that if I could get a good sober foreman, I'd give him a good steady job, but he'd have to see that those teamsters didn't drink. They're always at it, and its got to be stopped, but I'm not the man to stop.it, for as I said, I drink a bit myself." "Now I knew horse" resumed Jim, "and I made up my mind on the spot that if I could land that job I'd quit the drink for good and all. + So I said to the man at the bar, 'nf the man you're looking for." Thompson (that's the name of the maf who had been holding forth) looked me over, and said~""You!" Why you dirty old hobo, what do you know about horses or men either." "Well it didn't take me long to convinge him that I was all right so far as horses went, and he was feeling good enough to take a chance about the rest of it, so he told me to come around next morning and start the job. I"was there, and Thompson took me down to the stables and introduced me to the men. "This is your new foreman," he said "and I've told him to fire the first man that gets drinking." \ I didn't havesmuch trouble although once I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew. I'll tell you how if came about. There was a big Swede named Olson who had got into the habit of going on a toot every little while, and I made up my mind that he would have to quit or my job would be leaving me. "I told him so, and he quietly remarked that he'd "break my back" if I said anything more to him.» "Just about then I felt as weak in the knees as I ever expect to feel, for Olson was six feet two, and weighed something over two hundred pounds. I don't just know how it happened, bt I planted him one square on the chin, and he went over like a felled ox. "My reputation was made. I had licked Olson. Well, I didn't start to tell you my life story; but I made good on that job and,didn't touch a drop of booze. After a bit I 'went into partnership with Thompson, and to-day we swing one of the biggest dray businesses in New York. . "We have a fleet of ten ton trucks now. The horses are all "Tell me, what would a drunken man do with a ten ton truck? Drink wasn't so bad when we had horses. care of a drunken man--get him home safe. don't do no mothering. "It's a great sight to see one of them trucks go in where there's a steam shovel on the job. They're loaded in about a minute... They're on their way in nine minutes. They have to haul ten loads a day ,and the man who is early on the job gets the But a ten ton truck short hauls. : ' "Them lads of ours certainly can swear. You ought to hear them.

If you've got any sense you vote "dry"--and vote dry every time you get a chance. "Don't'let the fellows that makes a profit out of the buginess pull the wool ovey your eyes. : "Being dry made me and I'm going to stay dry, you bet!" it Many people are being deceived by the word "control" in the present cam- paign against the O.T.A. It sounds well to talk of Government "control" _ of the liquor traffic. The fact is that the Government never had better control of intoxicating liquor than it has right now. It could be better, but the Government, cannot further its "control" by legally increasing the | bootlegger's liquor supply, and 'pro- viding him with customers: all under - 21 years, and the tourist, -- and the rson whose poor reputation wil not E M ray Ao Tay and energy unselfishly on your behalf. v "The booze can't come back.

A good team. will take Liberal Candidate for South Ontario, and Leader of the Liberal Party in the Province of Ontario. TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH ONTARIO: -- I have again been nominated for the position of member for South Ontario, in the Ontario Legislature. I have served as member for three terms, during which time I have given my time Since last Election I have the Province of Ontario. This means that in this contest I must give much of my time to the Provincial field, and leave nfy elec- tion in the hands of my friends at home. If my record as your representative has been such as to meet with your approval, and the position I now hold in one which you feel is an honour to this constituency, and one which, with favor- able endorsement in the Province, will enable me to do a greater work for you in the future, I ask for your renewed confidence and support. : PP he present contest is peculiar in that Premier Ferguson of his own accord, and without the concurrence and mandate of the Conservative party, has thrown the temperance question into litics. - po The Conservative. Party is not advocating Government Con- trol, but it is being advocated by Premier Ferguson, and his can- didates. A vote for me is not a vote against the Conservative Party, but a vote against Premier Ferguson, who has used his high position to enunciate a policy without the endorsation of the Conservative Party in the Province. I therefore appeal to all the people regardless of their party affiliations to vote for me as a protest against bringing the temperance question into politics, and as a protest against the manner in which Premier Ferguson has dealt with the Legislature, and the people of Ontario disre- garding the will of the people. : ? The people by their votes have endorsed the Onfario Temper- ance Act on two occasions. The Act should be maintained and enforced by the Legislature so long as the people by their vates demand that it be maintained and enforced. The will of the + people must be supreme if Ontario is to remain a democratic Province. ' I will discuss the issues and the Ferguson policy at the few meetings I will address in the riding. Reports of my speeches appear daily in the press. You are fully informed as to my views. I will speak at Oshawa on Friday night, when my speech will be broadcasted. % experience, upon my pplicy, and upon the service I can render you if elected our service at all times to advance your interests and promote the welfare of South Ontario. : : a g sii ah . gh.
