Hartman To Oppose Sproule At :> largely attended meeting of East Grey Reformers in the town hull on Monday afternoon, Mr. C. W. Hartman of Clarksburg was again made the stand- ard bearer to contest the riding against Dr. Sproule. President A. C. Patterson 'of Blantyre occapied the chair. After i short address by the PrPHJdent, nomina- tions were called for, wlien the following geutlenion's names we;e placed before the meeting : C, W. Hartman, Wm. McLoughry, Mr. Rickey. President of the Georgiin Bay Frnit Growers' A.sso- ciat'ion ; J. 1). Monjan, John M. Davie, Chri-stopher Birreil, John Btlaud and .Pr. Ryckman. All thu nominees gave .vigorous addresses, and a".l retired with the exception of Mr. Hartman. Mr. John lioland said that Mr. Hart- man had fought thr«e battles and he thought he was the man that was wanted now. He would take many Oupoiition votes and he knew how to represent th» peopleâ€" U3t to misrepresent them ;i« Dr. Sproule had done. He did not know of one thing that Dr. Sproule had over done for this riding. The Liberals of East Grey never had a'.bctter opportunity. Mr. Hartman liad no desire fur the po- sition but would take it on condition that thorough organisation was completed and the contest made a personal matter with every elector present. He claimed that there was a Bourassa- Borden compact in Quebec, ottering as proof the fact that Conservatives were not opposing N-ition- alist candidates in any riding. He charged that Conservatives wore ridini; "oVJ horse in Quebec and another in On- tario; -..He was a wai'ia advocate of reci- procity and believed it would iiiaterially help the farmer. He had l)een a.ssured by many Conservatives that they intend- ed to vote for reciprocity. Others were not .saying much, but were thinking a whole lot. The loyalty cry was only a bugaboo. OwioK to the lateness of th« hour Mr. Hartman did not speak as long as he had intended to, but again appealed to tho.se present to make it a personal matter and work for victory. Mr. McCuUough of Markdale, the Re- â-  form canilidate for the Local House â-  sgainst the Hon. L B. Lucas, was called on for a few words by special invitation. Buy itii'iw.

Many are of the opin- ion that License Inspector Halbeit is not doing as much us lie might do towards its enforcement. Others say that a license inspector is not suppjsod to do extra work in local option territory. If not, <rliy it is ceitainly up to the Ontario government to appoint an ollicial to en- force the local option law and thus carry out the wishes of the majority.
