Pine Orchard Joseph Stephenson Sharon John Wariner Br Keswick Silver Sutton Robt McGlellan and Wra Luck Holland Landing The committees then proceeded to prepare their reports COKVKSTfON The attendance was not so large in the Town Hall as anticipated but was fairly representative Elder Chidley led in prayer Mr R J Daley observed that the object of the Convention was worthy of attention attendance and interest and he felt that when the time comes York would give a good account of itself Mr J Walton in taking the chair spoke of the importance of the present movement and as temperance people we should be thankful for the opportunity long sought when voice of the people might be taken on the question of prohibition of tho liquor traffic and wo should make the best of this opportunity He hoped that every effort be made to carry the riding with an overwhelming majority for Prohibition The report of the Nominating Com mittee as amended was thenadopted as follows President W G 1st Vice Jackson Newmar ket 2nd Vice D Silver Sutton Secretary Treasurer L Aurora The Convenor of each municipality to be a member of the Executive Com mittee and member of the Local Committee The candidates before the Conven tion for the Presidency were Mr Bogart of Kettleby and Mr J Daley of Both were very popular the election by ballot show ing only one vote between them Mr Bogart on being intro duced thanked tho Convention for the great honor conferred upon him aud asked for the hearty cooperation of all workers through out Riding in carrying the banner of prohibition The Resolution Committee present ed its report which with alight was adopted follows That organization bo known the North York Prohibition That the object this alliance shall be to call direct and enlighten public opinion to procure the total suppression of the trafiio In intoxicating beverages by the circulation of literature platform addresses and also to get out the largest vote at the coming pereona of good moral character who or voto in the municipality bo eligible for membership The principles of Alliance are follows a That It is neither right nor for the to afford legal protection to any or thai crime to natural re sources to corrupt the social habits to health and lives of iltv people That traifio In intoxicating ages la hostilo to of in dividuals and destructive of he order and welfare of society and ought therefore to bo prohibited o That history and all patt legislation In reward to the traffic abundantly provo that it mi- satisfactorily to limit or rcgulatoa syetem essentially in its tendencies That no consideration of private gain or public revenue can justify the uphold of a system ao utterly wrong in prin ciple suicidal in polioy and in rcbulte in intoxicating liquors That the total prohibition of liquor trallio in perfect harmony with the principles of justice and liberty ia not of legitimate commerce and lal to the integrity and stability of government the welfare of the com munity That rising above sectarian and party considerations all citizens should combine to procure an prohibit ing the manufacture importation and sale of intoxicating as affording moat aid in removing tho appalling evils of municipality in North York is requested to form a Local Com to work in conjunction with tho North York Prohibi tion Alliance elect and canvass the voters of each polling Division reporting the result to the Secretary not later than the 1st of Sept next to the great necessity for united among all those in sympathy with thia movement at this important criaia it is urgently hoped that time and means will not bo withheld either person ally or in societies that tho Banner of Prohibition may be to victory The following were then appointed as Convenors in the several municipal ities for canvassing work Aurora York Newmarket J Green Sutton P Holland Landing Win Luck King J Walton Whitchurch if Powell Van- dot East Ml Albert North Gwillimbury John Wanner present Jaw prevented crime The real importance of the present is in tho future Canada on the eve of prosperity as alio has never before enjoyed There a strong feeling of British abroad and Canada will play an im portant part in the council of world Let us give to tho nations an example worthy of emulation by shut ting out the most prolific cause of crime misery and sin in world Political considerations should not enter into tho contest A man who stifles his conscientious convictions is unfit to discharge his obligations as a citizen and unworthy of his duties and privileges This is a serious issue and the vote for prohibition must be backed up by moral influence to see that the law is enforced We should vote for prohibition be cause the liquor traffic is a menace to our civil and political institution aud a menace to the civilization which we enjoy The question of Revenue was very ably dealt with According to the Royal Commission the value of liquor consumed in Canada in one year w b The revenue therefrom is 8455000 but the in produc tive labor to the country through lost time on account of drink is 70- per year Taxes will be no higher under prohibition but the re venue will be made up from other sources The increase in taxable pro perty in two years will more than pay the loss There are 10892 merchants dealing in the staple articles of food and clothing The amount spent an nually for liquor will give every man a yearly increase in trade of No fiscal policy that any country could introduce would work such benefits for tho people The license revenue is 1 GO per head while the cost for tho administration of justice maintenance of asylums etc on account of the liquor traffic is per bead The liquor traffic cannot he defend ed and it is time the majority had its way The License law is violated here just as much as the Prohibitory law is in the State of Maine The people there after having the prohibi tory law for years asked for its continuance by a vote of to Let be willing for the sake of those who sffuer from the li quor traffic to bear their burdens Mr received a hearty vote of thanks for bis able address Prepare for it by Painting the Woodwork and Kitchen Floor Full Line

committees were preparing their reports Mr Matthews considered that the Riding was in better condition than 10 years ago when it carried the Act or years ago when it carried the Provincial Plebiscite Mr expressed the thought that temperance people needed to work more than en thusiasm Abbs spoke of the necessity and power of prayer and Mr Powell of the need of backbone while Cody said the ladies were unan imous for prohibition The Finance Committee recommend ed a schedule for raising for the purposes of the Alliance The program for the evening meet ing was announced and the session closed

Alliance occupied the chair and presided in an efficient manner After Elder had invoked the divine blessing a lengthy program was presented including sing ing by the Methodist choir supported by the Orchestra appropriate solos by Mr J male quar tette sextette recitations by Miss of Newmarket and Master Johnson of Aurora short speeches by Revs Matthews and Robinson of and an ad mirable address on the Plebiscite by Mr of Toronto For over an hour Mr pour ed shot and shell into the ranks of the enemy of prohibition and was repeat edly greeted with a storm of applause He was satisfied that if all other con stituencies did as North York was doing the result of the Plebiscite would beyond doubt favor Prohibi tion He called to mind the conditions of the temperance movement and years ago and marvellous change in public sentiment He dis cussed the causes that brought about these conditions and declared that the very people that are pressing for future have brought about the present efficiency He pointed out that benefits of the License law are in its restrictions and not privileges hut the Govt can only go so far as the moral sentiment of the people will support them Par liament of Canada by a vote of to have already declared that Prohibition is a wise and beneficial policy and soon as the people say so they are prepared to enact it This issue is to ascertain the voice of the people by means of the ballot box In a very logical manner the speak er proceeded to show that Prohibition was not annihilation any more than TACK OF NEW BOOB I Purely Canadian- National in its
