Macphaii Editors of Grey County: In a re- cent issns oi" Fil?sherton Advance was a report of a political meeting at Eugenia. Statements made there- in are absolutely at variance with the trurti. hence this protest. The a.-ti'.-le stated "Miss McPhail mentioned the matter of a speaker from the Department of Agricult- ure at 'Markdale on the platform at Eugenia in the interests of the Con- servative candidate. She thought that the Department was free from politics and were particularly keen on keeping their skirts free". For the benefit of the public al- low me to say no permanent mem- ber of the staff of the Department of Agriculture, Markdale has ever cither in this or any preceding el- ection been on a platform at any political meeting'. Moreover, no temporary employee of the Depart- ment of Agriculture while in the service of the department has ever taken the political platform either. If any person c'ic! take part in the campaign and they may as I lave never been to one political meeting since coming 'o Gi'ey in 1920 it was after their employment had ceased and therefore were no longer subject to my control or the justification of the Civil Service Act. Mr. A, C. Stewart is only engaged for the School Fairs. He did not appear on any platfa'-m while these were in progress. Why were not these statemets made more specific. Why was the party not named ?Is it fair by insinuation to cast suspic- ion on the Department of Agricult- ure, Markdale, by making such gen- eral statements involving- innocent people? That such is the case is proven that already some farmers have intimated to me personally that my actions were very indiscreet and expressed surprise at my ap- pea~ing on a political platform. Is it fair to attack a person who, because of limitations imposed 1 the Civil Service Ac!-, cannot protect himself on the platform when he Is positively innocent? Is there any principle about such action? We leave to the fair minded people of Grey and I repose ajll confidence in them to decide for themselves. We want to be fair but I feel some pub'| c Tt ' v R'-tion should be made. This will not appear till after the vote has been cast, after the people have rendered their decision. Re- traction should then be made all over Grey County. I am. Yours very truly, T. STEWART COOPER.
