Speakers for Mr, Ferguson have been saying that what the people need is education; yet the first man wha tried to give them that. educa- tion wants them to get the facts." Peculiar Election "This is a peculiar election. 's not the ordinary one between Lib- rals and Conservatives. It has be- 'bine instead one between-- (1) Liberals and those who sup- port me. And (2) Ferguson and Fesguson Can: didates, - Premier Ferguson has not had the endorsation of the Conservative 1 [J LP beg = Nertainmen 3 NIGHTS | Starting MONDAY The New Parisian "A Picturesque Arizona Background rons rim ----n COMEDY-NEWSETTE ORCHESTRA Last Times--TONIGHT REX in "The Devil Horse" Love, Thrills, Adventure Against » | NEW MARTIN MONDAY to WEDNESDAY The Great Dramatic Triumph of Love, Hate and Revenge members for his policy nor has he had the endorsation of the rank and file of the Conservative party or a Conservative convention. So when We argue against Ferguson we are j bot arguing against the Conserva- tive party. This election is being contested by Ferguson and Fergu- son candidates and they are out to win this election on one man-made policy." "There are many issues other than the O.T.A., but they all show the trend of the mind of Mr. Ferguson und they show why his special pol- fcy has been introduced at this time. Redistribution There is the matter of redistribu- tion. This was passed in 1925 in the House. It was first spoken of in the Speech from the Throne, yet it was not introduced until the 30'day of the session. It was given a first readiing on the 33 day and sent to committee on the 36th and it came back from committee on the 41st day. It was reported on the last day and came up for discussion after the evening adjournment when con- sideration lasted from eight o'clock until 2arly in the morning Can you wonder that there were errors found in it? One section of the city of To- ronto was' left out and was discov- ered next session as having been due to the error of a Conservative or- ganizer when the maps got mixed. I always thought redistribution was a matter for the members of the House to decide and not for an or- ganizer, What was its effect? In brief it took ten seats from the rural parts of the province and added them to the cities; five went to To- ronto and the other five were added | to other large centres. Premier Fer- | guson took ten. ridings away from the rural parts of the province for a purpose now disclos: Redistri- bution was for the pufpose of win- ning this election over the O.T.A., of cutting the city vote (favorable to Government control) against the rural vote. That was why city rid- ings were increased and rural rid- ings diminished. Vacant Ridings "Another thing that shows his at- titude of mind is the matter of the seven vacant seats. They have been vacant since over a year ago. The law says they shall be. filled in three months. But the Premier is above the law and they had not been fillcd up until dissolution. By these va- cancies 165,000 people were dis- franchised for one whole session, by this autocratic man. "Why were these elections not held? Premier Ferguson said it was because of the lateness of the sea- son; * because people in the rural parts would not be able to get out to vote. That was a year ago. They were deprived then of a vote but now al the same season of year he brings on an election. Women un- dergo the greatest hardships in an election at this time, but I believe disapproval of one and all of his policies, and of his plan of bringing cn an election at this time. The wo- men of this province have been in- answer with no uncertain sound.|| (Cheers ) Liberal Policy "The question has been What is the Liberal policy? there are many things that mignt be said as to that. There is the question of Old Age Pensions," and here Mr, Sincrair was interrupted by cheering and applause, 'There is a Government at Ottawa that is favoraple to Old Age Pensions. It passed an Old Age Pension law, which was afterwards killed by the Senate, but they will pass another. The Provinces must co-operate in this measure. Premier Ferguson has not shown any spirit of co-operation, but rather hostility. "What is the scheme? A man renders service to the state by work- ing in a factory or shop and by bring ing up the family and educating them and it is the duty of the state to return compensation to that man for his service to the state. The Lib- erals in Ontario will heartily co- operate with the Federal Govern- asked: Well that the woman of the rural parts!I i will rise to the occhsion ahd express | eulogized, sulted hy the Premier and I believe |¢ that at this time they will give their | The people had voted for the On- ment in this matter, Agriculture "Then there is the matter of agri- culture. The foundations of the deé- partment of agriculture were laid sound and true by the father of the chairman of this meeting, the late Hon. John Dryden, who spent the best years of his life In the service of the public and left that depart- ment well organized and well equ- ipped. We have at the present time: a well organized department of agriculture, and there are nine sub-departments; but there is also the special agricultural committee which went up and down the pro- vince making an inquiry. Thay brought in a report at a cost of $30,- 000 but it has never been acted upon nor has the recommendation of the House based on that report been ac- ted upon. If I am entrusted with the leadership of the Government i assure you that the agricultural committee will be a real committee and its recommendations given pro per attention, Education "Then as to education. Not much can be said for education as admin- istered by Premier Ferguson. He only gives part of his time. to the task. One thing the people demand is the proper educati of their children. There is a great field of work for such a Minister. If the Liberals are iin pawer in the next Legislature I can assure the people that there wil be no part-time Min- ister of Education, but a practical man ata the head of the department who will at zll times be intouch with the needs of the people in this important matter, and who will give the people the service they are en- titled to. Taxation as to taxation. As yon expenditures were $51,- 500,000 last year. Twenty years ago they were about six millions. The natural sequence is that taxes have been increased. The Premier tas shown that it is impossible for Lim to be economical. The Provin- cial debt now is $319,000,000. "Reference was made to the pro- mised cut in the theatre tax. That tax was a war measure and the time has come when all such taxes should Le wiped out. I can assure the peo- ple of economy of administration If the Liberals take office. The prom- ised cuts in taxation are election promises and you know what has happened #46 the other promises of Fremier Ferguson. The same with (Continued on page 6) SPEAKERS AT THE SINCLAIR MEETING A. i@ryden, prod of the Ontario Liberal Association, had the He the "Then know our Ww.

Mr. Dryden criticized the gction of the Premier in linking up~she liquor juestion with the present election. tario Temperance Act apd Mr. Fer- guson had not only 'broken his pledge to the people but had intro- duced an fsshe in the cagipaign con- trary to the wishes of the Conserv- ative party. The chaitviwan appealed to the elec- tors t6 support Mr. Sinclair, who, he declared, would see that the Ontario Temperance Act was énforced. J. P. Mangan, Secretary of the South Ontario Liberal Association, séored Premier Ferguson for intro- ducing such a measure as Govern- ment Control of the sale of liquor into the forthcoming election. The O.T.A. had been on the statute books for three and a half years. If he were not satisfied with the Act he had every opportunity of amending it, but he only found that it could not be enforced on the eve of the election. There were two plebis- cits, in 1919 and 1924, and on both occasions the people had voted for the Ontario Temperance Act. Mr. Mangan, continuing, said Premier Ferguson had pledged himself to enforce the Act but mow the situa- tion had changed. He said it could not be enforced. He would go to the country on his record alore but decided to becloud the issues by bringing in the liquor question de- spite that he had pledged his word to the people. Referring to the legislation pro- posed by Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Man- gan stated that this = legislation might look vastly @ifferent when it appeared on the statute books, and might be entirely unsatisfactory. "We know that the expressed will of the péople in 1919 and 1924 was in favor of the Ontario Temperance Act. TI believe it was a distinct dis- appointment to Premier Ferguson when the vote favored the O.T.A. "The people of this province have given no intimation that they want- ed any change. The policy of the Liberal party has always been to carry out the wishes of the peoplé. I would not say there has been total prohibition under the O.T.A. The O.T.A. is to restrict the sale of liquor and beverages and I believe it has been so far successful," stated the speaker. Mr. Mangan pointed out that: Mr. Ferguson charged the O.T.A. could not be enforced. Any legisla- tion passed would certainly not be agreeable to everyone and as soon as the Premier issued his manifesto the Hon. W..F. Nickle resigned his portfolio, which action was in reality a charge that the Ferguson Govern- ment had not tried to enforce the O.T.A. in. 'accordance with his pledge and the expressed will of the people. Mr. Mangan referred to the situ- ation in the same manner as a rugby game. It had been said the Government and the enforcement officers were not in sympathy with the O.T.A. If the players on the team did not have confidence and did not try they would not win. W. A. Dryden, in introducing the Liberal leader, stated that only a short time ago he had the pleas- ure of introducing Rt. Hon. Mac- kenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, and now he had the fur- ther pleasure of introducing W. E. N. Sinclair, next Prime Minister of the Province of Ontario. The peo- ple of Oshawa and South Ontario had always supported Mr. Sinclair to a large extreme because of the man Sinclair himself, and because all who know him are assured that he will carry out their wishes. He believed that the people of the pro- vince were sizing up the two men and that their confidence on De- cember 1st would be placed in their hands. Harold Luke's junior O. H.
