travelling suit was a light blue swagger with navy blue accessories there was once in ontario a people happy and contented in the main not wealthy but happy they had a government in whom they had confidence but unhappily that day is gone today a government holds sway at queens park in which thepeople have no confidence at all not altogether because of dis tressed and hard times but because this government does not recognize its own abuses so declared mr morgan baker liberal candidate in north york when he rose to address the farmers of his native township of whitchurch in vandorf hall on friday night mr baker got a warm welcome and attentive hearing from the 300 present and throughout the entire meeting there was not one interruption it was the liberal candidates opening meeting of the campaign the candidate character ized the henry government as a tory outfit not conservative they are tory their are toreys in the liberal ranks too thoy are robbers and plunderers one or two things will happen in ontario within the next few years either a complete cleanup or a complete smashup speaking on the hydro mr baker said that because we dare to criticize hydro we are opposed to it not so the hepc first bought hydro to toronto at 14 per hp today that same power is costing 28 per hp more than steam cost hydro ought to be made to serve ontario and not any set of individu als they bought 250 thousand hp from beauharnois which they didnt nded at all and tied this province up to a 40 year contract today we do not need one hp of the current you farmers wouldnt buy a binder this
