A. M. Fraser said that the term was used because of the doubt by the Resolution committee whether direct legislation was thoroughly a is Tutu tonal.

Thonpson of Winnipeg declared that he himself had been a life Long conservative but he realized that nothing was to be obtained from the Roblin government and would willingly do All he could to help1 the liberals if they would declare for the abolition of the bar. He not be Lieve that they could get the temper Ance conservatives to come Over und help them put the Liberal party in Power if the party Only promised a referendum something More was re1 quire to move them. W. A. Buchanan said that while he believed that it would be greatly. The advantage of Temperance Reform to have the question brought be Cire the people because it would be another Opportunity of educating the elector ate and because he believed that a very much larger vote would be i cast for the abolition of the bar than would de in test for either party yet he was opposed to or. Hutchinson s res Lii to a because the referendum was air ready endorsed in the opening of the original further Dis Cussion the Resolution was again referred to the committee but the com Mittee could find no reason for Chaigr ing it arid sent it Back to the Conven Tion. -. -. Referendum approved. I Henry Beattie then moved an amendment to the effect that Ipp Tjie opinion of the convention the social service Council would not be Justi fied in abandoning its non partisan attitude unless and until any party with which it might affiliate she wild declare itself As in favor of the Priori Cipols of the abolition of the retail Sale of liquor but that the social service Council would be justified in agreeing that the act giving effect to the Prin Ciple should not come into operation until it had received the approval of the electorate. Or. Sinclair supported this amendment. After a great Deal of discussion it was decided that the St two i Sere not Contrail in to Rye and might bd.th., carried the latter becoming a separate motion acid not an amendment to the for Iier. Both carried by an almost unanimous vote v -. " ,. Roblin censure withdrawn. Or. Halpenny moved a Strong Reso Lution of on tie Roblin govern ment for its treatment of the temper Ance people he was supported in this by d. S. Hamilton who outlined the history of the movement during the past twelve a firs and showed that the government had consistently opposed every measure of Reform. Or. Halpenny s motion was As Fol lows whereas the Roblin administration refused to. Put into Force a prohibitory measure enacted by the conservative government under the premiership of the Honi Hugh John Maci Donald the same. Administration refused to Zartt the. Petition of 20,000 electors Najj whereas it has persistently refused to Grant the saving clause necessary to Render ,.local option Law until the eve of a general election an whereas its i administration of the liquor License Law has been most flagrantly lax. ,. Be. It resolved that this convention places on record its profound Convis Tion that it is impossible for the Tesi Perance people of this province a longer to place Confidence in the press. Ent administration in regard to Secoir ing and enforcing adequate temper Ance c when this motion was seconded1 by d. S. Hamilton or. Gordon expressed his opinion that it would not be a very Wise step for the convention to take to pass this Resolution even though All the statements might be True especially when the convention had reached the hour of adjournment with such unanimity. He suggested that or. Hal Penny be permitted to withdraw the Resolution. Rev. A. E. Smith of Brandon took exception to this. He Felt that it had been very unwise to introduce the motion in the first place but As it had been introduced it was too late to Back jut. If they so the papers All Over tie country would declare that tie convention was unable to get a motion passed censuring the Roblin ment. Or. Halpenny said that if it was distinctly stated by Henry Beattie arid or. Sinclair that following their motion they would not affiliate with the conservative party in Case the liberals came out for banish the bar and the conservatives went them one better with total prohibition or in any Case whatsoever he would withdraw his to Tion. In reply or. Sinclair said that he had been at the recent meeting of presbyterian office bearers and had supported the motion of censure on the Roblin government and would not. Think of Slich an action As suggested by or. Halpenny. At the suggestion of a. M. Fraser. A committee of the delegates to be appointed by the chairman will wait upon the Liberal convention next week to urge the party to come out in sup port of the abolition of the bar. In answer to a question As to whether the social service Counci was doing its Best to enforce the Law in local option territory w w. Buchanan explained that at present the work of the Council in this respect consisted in referring information to the License department and following up the officers until something was done. Or. Buchanan referred to a article in a Neepawa paper which stated the attorney general claimed to have a letter from the speaker giving the License department a clean Bill of health As regards the efficiency of their enforce hint of the License Law. With regard to that or Buchanan said it was absolutely and unqualified Day alga. W h e n the department performed a special piece of work in a satisfactory manner it was the custom of the Secretary of the social service Council to courteously acknowledge re it. When the work was not. Done Well another Kin of letter was sent. It Wafi one of. This former nature referring Only to a particular incident that was read by the attorney general.

Any of them in Public. The speaker said he thought that explanation was. Suffle gently Clear. Destroy traffic Only method of dealing with liquor question say Rev. Or. Moore. The evening mass meeting in Cen trial congregational Church attracted a Fine crowd of enthusiastic Temperance workers who cheered the Strong speeches to the Echo and manifested the utmost unanimity and heartiness of Temperance sentiment. Rev. Or. C. W. Gorden presided Over the great gathering and with him on the plat form were w. Buchanan Rev. A. N. Marshall a. M. Fraser and Rev. E. R. Weeks together with Rev Prin Cipal Lloyd of Emmanuel College. Sas Katoon and Rev. Or. T. A. Moore Secretary of the social service Council of Canada. In his opening remarks the chair Man Rev. w. Gordon . Expressed his gratification at the great Success of the convention which had concluded its Ork that afternoon the important thing he declared was not what it had accomplished but what it had initiated. They were b it for the abolition of the Sale of intoxicating liquor. All evils were nourished and fed by the liquor traffic and it was a fruit fill source of vice and of every thing that degraded Man. When the bar was wiped out it would be a comparatively easy thing to wipe out the rest of the traffic for the demand would be to a great extent gone. Or. Gordon of pressed his belief that his tory hrad been Nad at that convention. He Hud been struck by three things the serious determination that characterized the men present the sanity of the gathering and the deep and moral earnestness of tone that marked All the proceedings. The convention was hot the end it was the beginning of great things. Every Delegate ought to go Home and with every Power he possessed strive for the putting into effect of the policies adopted by the convention. He warned them not to forget that they were opposing the most tremendous Force which stood in the Way of National Progress today a Power com manding the subtlest brains and unlimited wealth i it was a most serious and strenuous fight upon which they had entered. Rev. T. Albert Moore .., of Tor onto Dominion Secretary of the social service Council addressed his Audi ence As fellow fighters in a Good cause arid Tow the of his pleasure at being Switij them in the great struggle which was to mean the banishment of the from the province of Manitoba. He there was one pro Vince in. Canada Prince Edward. Island where there was not a single License. He was glad that Nova Scotia had banished the Sale of-1-Iqupr from its whole territory with the exception of the City of Halifax and that a Campaign was now on which would shortly bring that City same Law As the rest of the province. He won dered which province would be the next to enact this Reform. Would it by Saskatchewan ? would Muni Toba or new Brunswick or Ontario or Quebec he. Was afraid there was not much Chance of it being British Columbia. He could see today front ing. The nation an Opportunity for heroism and Opportunity for hard work an Opportunity which should bring to the country the greatest Hap piness and the greatest Prosperity tout it was necessary that they Pray As they vote and vote As they Pray and vote and Ray together. Destroy the traffic. Experience had demonstrated that the Only Safe Way to handle the liquor traffic was to destroy it. It was a preventive of Progress Ami sowed the seeds of degeneracy in the life of a nation. To protect Prosperity posterity Freedom country Home the liquor traffic must be abolished the Sale of intoxicants must be prohibited. In every civilized country the world Over the same firsht was. On. He challenged the liquor trafic. To it. Had done any Good. It promoted evil and destroyed All that was Good. It j wan responsible for half the accidents in Industrial life it. Lowered the efficiency of labor it increased susceptibility to disease. It was. An obstacle to human adva Nettien to that should no longer be permitted to exist. Through the United states had to the cry. A Saloon Les s nation by 1920." and through every province in Canada a similar san Star As a Irrl. A of r less Canada by 192 0." Why asked f l in speaker. Because the liquor traffic As the foe to. The Best interests of canadians. It decreased the a surfs of the wage earners. He. Himself. Had taken a census of a thous and Teeto tales and Moder oorts showed that the moderate drink ers worked just 15 per ent. Less time than the Teeto tales and. Besides in the time they worked had Only done 82i per cent of that done by those who not drink another reason for getting rid of the traffic was its effect on social conditions social workers among the poor All agreed that the Liduor traffic was the greatest cause of poverty. Experts had assured him that at least 20 per cent of the insanity in Canada was due to the same cause As was 75 per cent of the crimes committed. Care of the labourer e some people asked what would be done with the labourers engaged in the traffic if it were abolished. For every million Dollar invested in the Manu facture of Paner 367 labourer were employed in the manufacture of Lea Thor goods,.469 of lumber. 579 of Iron. 884 of textiles. 578 but in liquor traffic Only "7. Some said this fight must be fought must be kept out of politics. The speaker was present when the tem Perance party of Ontario formed their platform. Climbed onto it. And invited others to too. And others come up and by and by one of the big parties adopted the Plank and came up on the platform with the Temoer Ance people. How was this thing t ;
