He flayed the element Labor which was taking up the beer and wine question as a tool against the government. The good road: policy in the main was right in the province of Ontario. In every such policy there was sure to be mone mis-spent, and discrepancies arise. and these were and would be used against the government. Referring to the antagonism o! the urban centres against the farm- ers as displayed at the last election, Mr. Chapman expressed the hope that the farmers would never retal- iate against the towns the way the latter had against them. The idea {of the urban centres that the farm- {ors were their enemies and blocked | their progress must be dismissed for the common good. In closing Mr. Chapman assured the meeting that his interests would always remain in South Ontario po- litical affairs. greater part of his time at the Pick- ering farm and would be found ready to render any assistance he could to the Progressive cause.

Elmer Lick, a director of the T7.F 0. Co-opeartive Company, urged upon the meeting the need for a bet- ter commercial and political organi- zation to make the U.F.0. a success.

Mackie expressed the opin- fon that what was required to re-! move antagonism between farmers and urban dwellers was organization | in the rural sections and education | in the towns and citiies, The farm- ers he declared, had no gnarrel with | the manufacturers, but it was bc- cause of the force of the farmers that antagonism was shown by the manufacturers. He believed that the interests of both were mutual. Another view expressed at the meeting was that pure downright selfishness and sentiment was the cause of the antagonism of the ur- ban dwellers towards the farmers.
