One of the points of Oshawa's degradation, in Mr. Stacey's opin- ion, was the holding of 'night meetings and Sunday meetings" hy temperance workers, He also de- clared that he was disgusted with "gollections being taken at the doors of churches" to finance a campaign opposed to Government Control, The pulpit was also included in Mr, Stacey's bitterness. He declar- ed that true temperance workers had long since grown weary in well-doing and had tried to throw their burdens on the makers of laws. He regretted that ministers no longer preach temperance ser- mons, and feelingly commended the ministers of his boyhood days, who, he said, 'preached real sermons on temperance." "I am here tonight to view the great campaign on hetween the O. T.A. and the supporters of Govern- ment Control," Mr, Stacey began, after congratulating the mayor and' council on their fine meeting hall, "It is well known that I support- ed Government Control in the late election, I voted for it, and if I had another vote I would vote the same, ) Hat in the Ring "I have heen decent enough, but seeing that the challenge is made to true temperance supporters, stir- ring up the issue again and putting the city in another turmoil, T wish to say here in an open public meet- ing, that IT am prepared to stand for the mayor's seat on a straight ticket of Government Control, pro- viding none of you gentlemen will run on that ticket, "IT am greatly in favor of open- ing a liguor store here as a matter of decency and honor, and IT believe that the people of this town sup- port me in that "I also belicve that the Con- servative people « * Oshawa can de- feat any one opp.sing them in this matter.

But since this infamous act has been brought up again I don't beat around the bush, I am here repre- senting the Government of Ontario though I am acting on my own be- half. And I say that I am going to do all that I can to establish a ligyor store here, and:let the O.

VANCOUVER, i WE a Ae AB Bowmanville, Sept. 9.--Miss H. EATER lide. temporary charg: THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. < ak FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER AWREO FHT London, ept. 9.--Lord Rosebery was recently challenged in the press to explain "What representations were made to him in 1895 whieh led him to recommend to Queen Victoria for a peerage to an obscure cosmopolitan banker named Sydney Stern," who became Lord Wands- worth, and whose elevation" te the peerage, the challenging. reference stated, "aroused much' scandal at the time through the keneral be- lief that Ster nbecame Lord Wands- worth in return for aw 'unusually large contribution taand Liheral paty funds." Rosebery has taken up the challenge and replies in a letter through The Banker. "I am quite willing to set Mr, Lloyd George a good example and tell you the circumstances of the peerage you mention. 1 received | your letter from Mr, Gladstone to say that it was a solemn obligation of honor to give this peerage. He .{ had promised it on behalf of the Liberal party, and must beg of ma to consider it a solemn pledge of honor. After some hesitation gave it so save Mr, Gladstone's honor, But T never got a shilling for it, nor, I presume, did he. That's the whole tale, 1 hope Lloyd George has as simple a tale to tell." The magazine The Banker goes on to say, "If Lloyd George's tale ever could be told it would be more in- SCATHING ONSLAUGHT UPON LLOYD 'GEORGE AND BENEFICIARIES 3 teresting than simple. Some of those upon whom he conferred peer- ages are very different from Lord Wandswoth, who is at least a man of henor." The Banker summarizes Wands- worth's career as a Liberal mem- ber and his public career, and points out that he was head ol Stern Brothers, and then continues, "By contrast with some of Lloyd George's peers he may have heen obscure. There is nothing obscure about those noble lords. They are blatant unto notoriety. Some ave included in the Coalition Govern- ment's honors lists not as eosmo- politans but as aliens. Many ave grosh,. illiterate profiteers, doubt- ful in' reputation, and vulgar in their, lives, who, to the shame of honor and decency, were shovglled into the House of Lords, and were created baronets or knighted mere- lv upon the strength of the money they had obtained by preying upon England in themost awful erisins of her affairs." The magazine ends with the com- ment, "Lloyd George is' a great statesman, a man of principle and without political principles, He was the greatest war minister England has ever nown sincek the time of Chatham.
