Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - April 28, 1915, Winnipeg, Manitoba 10 Manitoba free press wednesday april Moose jaw conservatives endorse party Leader in Saskatchewan House Temperance policy outlined introduce prohibition measure on favourable Jefe Rendin vote. Moose jaw sask., april 27. At the House jaw City conservative convention held this evening for the purpose of nominating a Candi Date for the Itji Slature w. B. Willoughby icc., Hie party Leader who again nominated set Forth the conservative policy on Tho Liciu or question. It provides for the taking of a plebiscite on provincial prohibition at the first i ing the Al election follow Ever i am quite satisfied. It is not Ray intention on the eve of the meet ing of the legislature when the go Ernie nos Bill will be submitted enter into severe or Cirn. I do however take exception to the Premier s remarks when he takes credit for Tho administration of the act through a Board and Foi tha local option Law. I assert the whole machinery of the liquor act has been administered on partisan grounds. I assert me liquor dealers and licensed Victualler of. This province have contributed of rather been assessed for party Pur Posea and have contributed often unwillingly to the party s u tills assertion is denied i will under take to prove it if i am Given an Independent commission. To floss concerned in the business though some were conservatives formerly dared not acknowledge it. To assist the conservative party was to invite destruction whether at the hands of the Board the License inspector or the whiskey detective. Local option unsatisfactory. Tho Premier Alao takes credit Cor the local option Law. We know How Ever it was no unsatisfactory to the Temperance forces of this province that they finally refused to bring on. Any contest under it. So much Tor its efficiency As a Temperance Meas i moved in Tho Riouse a Resolution which made for real Progress and m dependence in the administration next provincial election to i the act. The Resolution was that voting to take place on municipal uses and a to decide th-3 is sue. If the i Ete Rondum be adopted the conservative party pledges the whole administration of the for License act be placed under an Independent commission freed from All party control and removable Only itself to introduce total prohibition by legislative Assembly for cause Vith n one year after Tho talking of shown of course this was voted the vote. In the event of the referee Down. Ontario has just recently act Chim not carrying the liquor traffic de on the lines i suggested and which is to be placed under the control of i Tho government Declar in Independent commission. Should j de impossible. Total prohibition become Law. The this year i suggested the Early Mur Cipa Hitiris will be Given to j closing of bars during the War erect or Purchase buildings As i and was i believe the first member May be deemed necessary for the i of the Assembly to suggest such a accommodation of travellers. Step. Lord Kitchener has always de dared that the War would not be 1 Short and graphically stated he did not know when it would end but knew when it would begin via the first of May. Course he would have liked. If the government lately to anxious for a minimum vote of Lui a eur inc la on the referendum had brought Down elections on the latest municipal lists j a Bill at the War str Sion last fall for Piid where none exists the last Clecia referendum in May or june of this Toi Al lists on a straight majority year we could have had plenty or vote at the municipal election to to i Txie to have had Tho fullest discus Lipold first after the next general pro j Slon of the measure policy outlined. Or. Willoighby Sot Forth the policy of Tho conservative parly on the question As follows Tho permanent policy of the conservative party on the Temperance question is to submit the question to total prohibition so far As the prov Ince has Power to a vote of All elec tors entitled to vote at munic Lul a. De Witt Foster hands in resignation from press special Ottawa april the resignation of a. Do Witt Foster . For King s county who was reprimanded in parliament by the prime minister for his connection with the famous horse deals in King s county last August was placed in the hands of the govern ment. W. F. Garland for Carlton however who received a similar reprimand Lor his connection with the Powell drug Deal is again standing for nomination. Today the conservative association of the county divided on the matter a motion for censure being lost by b to 5 against. The executive decided to ascertain the wishes of the prime minister re Garding or. Garland before taking further action. Khaki election excites wonder or. Hamilton of fort William says people of United states Are asking questions. Vinci Al election. If the referendum carry in favor of total prohibit ten then the conservative party will introduce such measure of total prohibition to go into effect one year after the first of january following such municipal election. If therefor Endrin do not carry then the entire administration of the liquor License and a vote be fore the existing licenses expired. 1 would have gladly welcomed this course and supported it. During the War exceptional regu lations May no doubt be properly taken but the Radical departure in dealing with this question is As undemocratic As undesirable. The organized Temperance forces of the acts of the province should be placed province never asked anything but under an Independent commission i a referendum on fair terms. Those free from All political control re Sponable to the legislative Assembly. The conservative party is opposed to government dispensaries either As a temporary or permanent policy. Municipal hotels. The municipal councils be Given rower to erect or Purchase buildings suitable for the accommodation of travellers and that such be subject to proper licensing regulations and inspection. I have read with attention and care the speech of he Premier at Oxbow and again at Vanguard. When the minister in the dying Days of the session of 1913 took the stand t there must be a minimum vote of on a referendum before tha proposals of the abolish the bar advocate co ild be adopted i said Noth ing to Embarrass him. I. Had thought this question could Bra. More wisely dealt with if party feelings were not aroused. My party could do now what sir Wilfrid Laurier did in 1896, in regard to the Manitoba school question refuse to formulate any distinct policy of its own and like sir Wilfrid Laurier. Stay behind the lines of to res vedas a position of negation to which or. Gladstone when a opposition Lent the Sanction of his great name. Should have bean consulted. I would have been Happy to ind myself in Accord policy of the government. Had it been the de sire of the government to keep the matter out of politics and treat the policy As or. Scott in one place Saya As in part a War policy then i might reasonably expect to have been consulted. I make no complaint How your Back is a barometer when it hurts it Means that the kidneys need help. Take Gin own remedy for All kidney and bladder troubles. 50c. A Box 6for made in 271 fair terms in my judgment Are pm bodied in the policies of my party which i have announced. The conservative party in Saskatchewan has no understanding or support from the liquor interests. It professes to voice the opinions of moderate men and seeks no Alliance. As a great party however its policy must be one of fairness to All whether that policy is or is not approved by extremists whether Temperance advocates or liquor men. Should have majority. In a matter that touches in to namely the Domestic concerns of All t is in the interest of True temper Ance that whatever Steps Are taken should command the support of a majority of the reasonable people of the. Province. A Well defined sentiment must Back restrictions to make the same effective rightly or wrongly. I do not Stop to argue there is a Large class who resent any legislation that might be regarded As an interference with Pri vate Liberty. Personal View must however yield to the wishes of the majority. If the open bar be at present As i regard it a nuisance then the sane Pur my must Abate it. But the government goes further. It takes to itself the wholesale to Ade of the province. To this i am entirely opposed. If it is economically and socially wrong to continue the use of liquor in this province then 1 will not be i partner in Tho business political corruption will arise and grow out of the dispensary and i see it the most potent augury of to. Lotical debauchery. It will bring Revenue i am told yes and Campaign funds too. If we Are going to collect not scotch the Snake then let us make an end of it. Woultz give a year. I shall not be driven by anyone to do Liat i regard As an injustice to not Only the. Liquor men but the other classes to whom they owe Money the insurance Man banker Fri Ocain. Butcher Etc. I would give a reasonable time for the liquor men wholesale and retail to adjust them selves to new conditions and other occupations and the time i propose a Shade of Over a year is Shorter than has been allowed in Many american states that voted for prohibition. If the people of this province 011 a fair majority vote refuse to abolish liquor i shall be Tho Uili Dis appointed perforce Content because i think it is the unqualified right of ill to have this Complete Issue submitted to the electorate. This is True democracy. Anybody suf Sest ing the opposite until the govern ment s , would not be regarded As taking a responsible stand on the subject. I have wished to ke6p the mat Tor ouf of politics and sincerity. It should bo1 passed on separately and the Fate or Success of the government not dependent there of the conservative party has other great issues to bring before the people and desire tha Public to pronounce on them. Temperance legislation however is Only one of the Many things on which peo ple should vote. Those who know the government s history on the land question can need no argument to i ova that a sudden change of face on the Temperance question will not Shock the Leader of the government b idea of political consistency crusaders pledge. Speaking of the pledge submitted by the banish the bar crusaders candidates for the legislature or. Willoughby said in connection with this pledge All i have to say is Whitt the legislature is practically at hand i refrain from further discussion of this subject at the present time. I was reminded today of an article appearing in the Regina prov Ince which i nearly Over it la said that a deputation of. Wholesale liquor dealers had an interview with Harper Calder yester Day and proposed that the business might be continued under. A very High License. Or. Calder is reported to have said you co Ulen t pay a Large enough fee to. Compensate us. Under our r an we Eriyo the Bene fits and receive All the profits i have the Best reason to know that the government expect to de rive a Larfate Revenue from the dispensaries and thereby in some Meas be Able to carry on without incurring the odium of imposing additional fresh taxes. If the conservative poll by As to Public resources were in Force and the conservative party can put it in if placed in Power there would be no need of the province embarking in the liquor business and thereby making the peo ple of Saskatchewan whether tee Tot Allers or not they believe socially and economically hurtful to the Best interest of the province.
