Liberal and foremost in all work for the betterment of the community- He was especially active during the years 1914 to 1918. Although too young to enlist, he did everything possible to help his friends who went over, giving his only brother, who-suffered and died on the fields of Flanders that we ought not be Iiitlcrlscd, and 1d how to mark our ballot on auction day. I would liketoatsthshonost ' ‘ ‘ of the Fourth District to contrast this record with the record of people now asking for your support on cl- ection day. Feb. 29th. Some of us were living during those four hectic years a quiet and luxurious life, on farms on different parts of the 1s- ‘land. Others were nursing two Pro- gressive defeats in Bedequc. I wish to say to the electors of 4th Prince that if you support Mr. Bell. you are supporting a Liberal through and through, a man who has stood by the Liberal Party ln victory and de- feat. By voting for Mr. Wright, you are supporting a man who stated on a public platform at Sesrletown a few years ago that the Liberal party was rotten from the head down. In marking your ballots on Saturday next, consider the political records of both men and vote ac- cordtngly. I am, sir,,etc., LOVER. 0F LIBERTY.

SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE?

Sir,—-'I‘he question may well be asked, Shall the people of this Pro- vince govern in respect of its liquor laws or must they abdlcate?

In order that there may be no misunderstanding, let the facts be recapitulated.

Between 1880 and 1878 molly vot- ings of the people were held upon the question whether or not liquor should be sold for bevernio use. These votings took place at school meetings in school districts. Re- cords of the results of votings may perhaps exist but they are not read- lly available.

Since that period voting by tlr people has taken place on the fol- lowing occasions: _ In i878. in Prince County; in 187i) in Charlottetown; in 1879 in Kings County; in 1880, in Queens County (rural); in 1884, in Prince County; in 1884, in Charlottetown; 1n 1887, in Charlottetown; in 1891. in Char; lottetowll; in 1893, throughout the Province; 1n 1N4, in Charlottetown; in 1897, 1n Charlottetown; in 1898, throughout the Province; in 1906, in Prince County; in 1906, in Queens County (nlral); in 1906. in Kings County; 1n 1928, throughout the Province; in 1227, throughout the Province; in 1929, throughout the Province. In all, 18 votings. Of these 18 votings, all but two- those in Charlottetown in 1891 and l894—were in favour of Prohibition and of more effective Prohibition- They were declarations by the peo- ple that the beverage sole of liquor should not be permitted.

Even on the two occasions in Charlottetown when small majorl- ties were given against Prohibition (1891 and 1894) the overwhelming sentlme of the Province as a.

whole was not against, but was in favour oi Prohibition, for at the

Province-wide Jebiscite. held in

1893, the total vote of the Province, . including the vote in Charlottetown,

was 76 per cent in favour of Pro-

hibition. .

Notwithstanding all these tests cf

public opinion, it appears that a

small coterie of persons, chiefly of

Charlottetown. are now demanding

that the Government ignore these

plebiscites and votings and that

Beverage Bale of liquor be legalized.

Interested observers are wonder-

ing if the Government will accede

to this request. Members of the

Government and of the legislature

are giving no sign. They are silent,

sphlnx-llke.

The Liberal electors of the Pro

vincs who believe in Prohibit-Ml and who helped place the presen reprsnntotfvu in power hold u. key which will readily unlock the riddle

of the ilphinx. They can‘ quickly solve the question whether Prohibi- tion will be up: ‘and Govem- msnt Sale take its Ill-loo. A tcstinl time for those electors is hora to- day. If the Government finds there are a considerable number of Lib- eral men and women who believe in Prohibition and who hold the main- ‘ of the Prohibition Aco higher idthcir retard than more party allegiance, there will be no repeal. Government‘ Control will not be brought in.

v

Act will mean the loss 0f their sup- port, the problem will be solved im- mediately. Prohibition will remain the law. Government Control will,» be dropped. No government delib- erately “I suicide.

Many Conservative votes were added to the Liberal vote of 1927. Together, they changed a situation where at a previous election there had been elected 25 Conservative and 5 Liberal representatives into a situation where, after the election of 1927, there were 24. Liberals and only 6 Conservative representatives. A vote for temperance can be s moral issue and can be above party-

Determined action by Liberals to- day who love their country can save the Rohlbltion Act. It will do more; it will avoid a disruption of the Liberal party. Buch action must be taken at once if Prohibition is to be saved.
