PACE FOUR BYLAW MEETS WITH _ HUCH OPPOSITION (Continued from page 1) one piece of work was carried and neglect. another, The commission had been working 23 years with no fault finding and he thought the council should be very careful not to disrupt it. There are no great dis- crepancies shown he said. "To scrap the accumulated 'experience of from 15 to 20 years to put a plant of $1,000,000 in the hands of new men, is hardly right. This is an age of specialization." Alder- man Hart felt that a committee of council would be fncompetent to deal with the affairs and in view of changes each year could not be- come conversant with them. He thought it would be unwise to tam- per with the Commission. The mayor is a member of the commis- sion and if he would bring to coun- cil any criticisms or matters he did not agree with them on, the council could draft a resolution. Ald. Hart said that the people -- Parker Duofold Pens and Pencils are sold at the KELLY DRUG STORE 34 King 'St. W.

They might be stampeded in voting for the by-law and then be sorry for it after. i Alderman McLeese stated that only one committee of the council functioned one hundred per cent. every year. He felt that the coun- cil had enough to do and that His Worship if he had any grievance against the commission he should present it to council. Mayor Preston resented Ald, Me- Lee's remark that it was his own fault if he objected to the commis- sions actions, and retorted that he thought he had made his opinion quite clear. Ald. McLeese said that he did not want to get personal, but His Worship accepted it as such, "I have no grievance. I simply think the electors have a right to vote on every subject and particu- larly this branch of the administra- tion which the people are paying for every quarter, There are lots of things I would like to ask the com- mission but it's not for me to bring the dirty linen to council to wash. I still think it is poor business to segregate one body from another, and I also think the voting public have sane common sense. No Depution. Alderman Hart said he would not hesitate for ene minute if a deputa- tion appeared before the council or that body had received a largely signed petition asking for the vote. "You would not think of taking over the schools. If there was a peti- tion we would not.dare refuse the request." Alderman 'Marks asked if the mayor knew of any other cities where such a procedure had been followed. - His Worship said he did not know of any where a Water Commission had been abolished but the Council in Belleville handled it in that way. However, the may- or declared he did not wish to copy any other city particularly, Just because one city did something, it was no reason why Oshawa should: "I am not bringing in any new idea but simply to allow the elect- orate to study it," he added. Says Drastic Move. Alderman McLeese thought it was a drastic move since there was no public agitation on that regard. Alderman Bradley asked if the council would be more efficient in the .administraticn ¢" the Water Commission's affairs and if they were, why? If the mayor would specify some- thing, the council would have some- thing to work on. So far the ar- (Continued on page. 8) SINCLAIR IS THF (NANIMOLS CHOICE (Continued from page 1) late in starting but was called to order by Chairman Jeffery at 8.15 and at that time there were over two hundred people in the hail. On the platform were Messrs. Gordon Conant, L. W. Dudley, Whitby, A. J. Graves, Fred Rowe, Oshawa, and W. H. Moore, of Dunbarton, Lib- eral candidate in the recent Fed- eral election. The absence of W. A Dryden, president of the Liberal Association was regretted by sev- eral speakers, including Mr. Sinclair himself. Mr. Dryden was unavoid- ably absent from the riding last night. The Nomination Chairman Jeffery opened .the meeting by the announcement that it was called for the nomination of a candidate to represent the Lib- als in the forthcoming Ontario Legislature. "l take great pleasure," an- nounced Mr. Samuel Farmer of Port Perry, "in nominating Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C."" "I have great pleasure in second- ing that nomination" said Mr. F. L. Fowke, ex-M.P, for South On- tario. A voice was heard to demand that the nomination be declared closed. whereupon the meeting broke out in'o epirited . applause. ! Mr. Graves "Mr. Sinclair desires a few min- utes to consider this nomination," smilingly remarked the chairman and then proceeded to call upon Mr Graves to address the meeting. Mr. Gravis has been heard before not- ably upon the occasion of the visit here of Mr. King, Prime Minister ol Canada, and his address was heard with evident pleasure. He began with a reference to the regret the meeting felt that Mr. Dryden had found it impossible to be present and to preside, and almost immedi- ately afterwards announced that he hoped to see Mr. Sinclair the next Premier of Ontario, a declaration that brought more applause. Mr. Graves declarcd that he per- sonally had not 'touched nor tasted" for 42 years and his opinion with respect to the announced policy of so-called Government control was that it would be the greatest catas- trophe that could possibly befall the country. Mr. Moore Mr. Jeffery's announcement that the next speaker would be Mr Moore was partly drowned out by the applause that spontaneously arose from all over the hall, "Several things have happened gince 1 last addressed an audience from this platform," he announced with a smile. "We didn't win. I'm sorry. Some expected we would win. I'm sorry for the sake of you good people. I'm sorry for the sake of the Liberal party for I believe that a Liberal from Ontario sitting among the Government supporters could have done great things for On- tario and I am not aware that a member of the Opposition. can ac- complish much. In the recent elec- tion there was. a slogan reading. 'Moore stands pledged to serve South Ontario." Let me tell you that in this campaign Moore still' stands pledged to serve South Ontario and anything that; 1.,¢4n do I am here THE OSHAWA DAILY REFORMER, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1926 to do." '(More applause). Telegram From Mr. King "And do not forget this: South Ontario gets good government whether it wanted it or.not. And allow me to say also that the fight we put up in South Ontario had not a little to do with influencing the country at large. I'll prove it to you," and he read the text of a tele- gram he had received from the Prime Wmerer from Father Point just as Mr. Kihg was leaving Cana- dian shores to attend the Imperial Conference, thanking Mr. Moore and South Ontario for the wonderfully encouraging campaign waged here. "It is up to you to make a per- sonal sacrifice to help our candidate and Leader. It is now just twenty- one years since the Liberals were in power in Ontario." "It is your opportunity. And we as Liberals have a man as Leader who can live up to the best tradi- tions of Liberalism in this coun- try." Mr. Sinclair Then came Mr. Sinclair. He was in good voice and fettle and gave a smashing criticism of the Ferguson policies and of the Fer- guson promises and evasions, He reviewed his own career in the Leg- islature and reminded his audience that public service meant personal sacrifices but there were compensa- tions, notably the widening of one's circle of friends, "I came here per- haps naturally expecting that 1] should be tendered this nomination which has been unanimously offer- ed to me. And I do accept it (cheers) and thank you for your confidence." Then he launched into an hour's criticism of the Ferguson adminis- tration. "If ever a Government has trespassed it is, the Ferguson Gov- ernment," he declared. "I referred the other evening in Toronto to the fact that we certainly are living in the Land of Promises." This sally brought more smiles and applause. "Promises by the Premier," he con- cluded. "Not only the Premier but the Minister of Highways is a great promiser and he recently promised that several hundred more miles of road would be constructed,--plain- ly a bribe to the electors. It was a promise made for the 'improper purpose of influencing votes," he said. Those Vacant Seats Reference was made to the vacant seats in the Legislature by which 165,000 people were disenfranchised temporarily. One of the Ferguson reasons was that he one year ago did not desire to disturb the Legis- lature with elections too close to its sitting. "Possibly Mr. Ferguon will not have the arranging of the forthcoming Legislature' and this statement was the signal for more hand-clapping. The famous Weston speech of Mr. Ferguson was the target for several sallies by Mr. Sinclair, the reference to the holding of an elction when "the going was good" not being ignored. "And now after three years of consideration he has set the date and has picked the time when the going's good for the Conservative party--a fime when roads are bad and the rural community may be hampered in getting out the vote." Sinclair Policy "But", asserted Mr. Sinclair, "you may reasonably say to me: You are ready to criticise but what are you going to do? What remedy have you to offer? I say this: First there must be a thorough survey of the finances of the ifrovinece and of the sources of taxation. In places as you all know there is double and triple taxation, and this must be ended. It is the duty of the Gov- ernment to see that a taxable source is taxed only once. "And expenditures must be re- duced. There are many, many places where this could be done. You have only to be around the Parliament Buildings to know this. What is needed is a business, as distinguish- ed from a political administration. There is too much politics and not enough business. The Liquor Issue "And there are now new issues at stake," and this led up to his appreciation of the liquor question. "The point is: Shall the will of the people prevail? "The Liberals say it shall and they stand firmly on that principle. I stand as Leader of the Liberal party upon that principle and others will do so, and we call upon all others who believe in that principle to come to our aid and help us maintain that principle." He pointed out that of the Fer- guson supporters in the late Legis- lature no less than 22 were elected on minority votes. Mr, Ferguson's vote was less than fifty percent of the total. "Let me say that the O.T.A. has no place in the political arena and should never have been introduced. "The present Ferguson policy over which so much care and considera- tion has been lavished is what: Liquor stores and beer. Mr. Fergus- son evidently objects to the word 'bar' and he calls them beer-parlors but it means the same thing." Hé derided the Ferguson plea that it would decrease boot-legging and since it reads that permit cards be issued to residents of the province it leaves tourists outside the pale. Some point was made about poison liquor but Mr. Sinclair not- iced that in Manitoba where they had Government 'Control, there were four cases of deaths from poison liquor last July. More Ridicule Mr. Sinclair ridiculed the alleged Ferguson statement that he had al- ready approachd personally the man he had selected as Chief Com- he doesn't give two cents about the beer policy. Just imagine the Pre- mier now getting cold on one of the main points of his manifesto. "I have come to the conclusion that he cannot stick to his an- nounced policy, What he will be ad- vocating a month from now is hard to say.

IA When Baby Complains. There are many ways a baby has of expressing any pain or irregularity or digression from its normal condition of health and happiness. A short sharp cry, a prolonged irritated cry. Restless- ness, a constant turning of the head or of the whole body, fretful. In these and other ways a baby tells you there is something wrong. Most mothers know that a disordered stomach, bowels that do not act naturally are the cause of most of baby's sufferings. A call for the doctor is the first thought, but in the event of any delay there should be ready at hand a safe remedy Castoria has been used for baby's ailments for over 30 years and has merited the good will of the family physician in a measure not equaled by any other baby's medicine because of its harmless- ness and the good results achieved. * this Castoria is essentially a baby's remedy and not a cure-all 10s every member of the family.
