f /lesh^rt^n $..*- -^1^ Vol :39, Xo. 5 Flesherton. Dnt., -July '3. 19lf> I, I 1 if A \u 1 Cl: V <- Premier Hearst And Politics At Eugenia The big political picnic at Eafl;enia un Thursday Ust was attended liy between two and three thousand p.-np,e. In the forenoon a convention was held t'f representatives from all parts of the riding when Hon. I. B Lucas was a^^in choeen aa the Conservative Ktandard bearer for Centre Grey. The convention adopted an iunuvatio:i in this ct^ie by appointing lady vioB president^ for the various townships. Mrs. J. .4. Kernahan of Feversham w*a appointed for Osprey and Mrs. A. E Myles ior Eaphrasia. The complete list haa not baeii handed us for publication. At the afternoon picnic in the new Hydro Park between two and three thousand people were present, with Meaford band, an Owen Sound bajd and Jules Brazil, the humorist, to aiuase and entertain tba crowd. Those w^ho spoke from the pavilion were Sir Wm. Hea.st, Hon. I. B. Lucas, Uon. Dr. Jamieson, Hon. H J. Cody, C. S. Cameron, M. P. P., and W. D. Cargill, M. P. P. The premier occupied an hour in delivering a moat eloquent address coverin"» the work done by his government since it came into power. Hia object had been to maintain the traditions of Sir James Whitney's idiuinistration. Amona: the most important points touched were that of his action in givint; the women votes on account of the way they ha(i woiked durint! (he war and the way they had evidenced " executive ability, good sense and untiring zeal; " good roads, the temperance measure, provincial tinanoea and hydro development. Speak- of what Outarit had done in the wir he said : "Out of 43'J,6<JU Canadian enlistments uptot^ct. ai, 1917, when the Military Service Act came into jperation, Ontario had contributed 191, C2y. With about 31 per cent, of Canada's population, the province had given over 43 per cent, of all the recruits. It had supplied half the money for different war pui poses, and nearly half the war loans had been raised iu this province. Ontario had taxed itself one mill on the dollar for war purposes. By this means a fund of S8,000,COO had been raised and the gov- etnment had already expended Sl,o(W,- 000 more ihau the revenue thus oblaiued for war purposes. " This was the first time that Premier Hearst has favored this distiict with his presence, and he produced a most favor- ^'.ile inipresiiion on his hearera. Many of the older people at this func- tion were iu a reminiscent mood, their thouglits'going back, as ihey gazed on the hundreds of autos parked all over the village, to the days not so very loiiu ago, when they I'love a few miles lo political lueetiugs with the old ox feam, later with the horse and buggy, but now they come from forty and fifty miles around m their s;as cats as easily, and ([Uickly as they came five or six lutles in t'le old days of sixty years ago. The big political picnic was a success, notwithstanding the fae; that Jupiter Piuvius aticiupted to put a damper on it the '.lay before and again on the morn- ing of Thursday. In the afternoon the clouds rolled away and ^ave everybody a pleasant journey homo. PRICEVILLE Weather 'luite cool over end of last/ week, but vegetation Is much improved by tho recent fine showers. A number of politicians were anxious tor fair weal ht^r durina their rally at Hydro Park, Eugenia, last week, and at the same time a multitude of farmers were more desirous of rain than any other blessing. The politicians saera- iogiy failed to propitiate their weather god, and down came the rain Thuriday. As we were going down Townline st. south one evening last week we noticed a fine y-junu team and nice buggy coming over the Beaver creek bridge, and the next minute we were chatting with Harry Morrow of the Xorth Line, who was returning from driving a visiting relative over to other friends on the South Line.

" It was no election, it was legalized robbery '' was one of his stnuia statements. Real political issues were iu the background and too much of the race and religious cr es to d..scredit Laurier. He believed that at tho first opportun- ity the people would hurl from pi'wer the men who have allowed, almosi en- courayed grafting and profiteering.
