TORONTO, Dec. fL-In sharp re- yy to the recent ultimatum of the yohlbition forces and “the less than tilled tin-cot" that a third party will reformed in Ontario unless the Lib- ‘.1 party, at its coming convention, hills to a prohibition platform, Sen- lhr A. C’. Hardy, Efiesldent of the Ontario Liberia‘ Association in a let- inio the Globe from Ottawa under dale oi Dec. 6 expresses the sincere hope that dclrwgates to the convention viii utterly disregard the "threats" levelled at them in advance, and vole ns they think best for "the country in general and wishes of the liberal Party as a whole." "- Senator ilurdy expresses this wish rm the light," as he put it, "of our Leipericncc with prohibition for ten tears; of the overwhelming declara- tion of tin- people, including tens of ‘thousands of ardent prohibitionists 111929, and oi’ the utter inslncerity of such a great mass of "drys." With Dr. A. J. Irwin head of the Prohibition Union, he has no quar- rclhc makes plain, and does not in- ttndlo question his sincerity. It is lir. 1min‘: duty, and that of his col- leagues, says the senator, to advance. flit-fr principle of prohibition accord- l-v. to the best of their lights. ‘Per- --l ' add: the Senator, "l: am neither stron ly for nor against pro- hibition, per se. I am interested in lllalfberal Partwand do not want Urged To Ignore" l 3rd Part2 Threats President Of Liberal Association Criticises “Utter Insincerity” o Grits ss Of Prohibition- to sec it saddled with an impossible load." "When we look back to the elect- ions of 1926 and 1929," Senator Hardy writes, "one can very easily come to the conclusion that after holfiing steadfastly to advanced liquor legis- lation over all these years (includ- ing absolute prohibition) if the party can receive no more support from prohibitlonists generally than it did on these occasions, it can have little to fear from their opposition, wheth- cr organized or not as a third party. Indeed, would not a third party be even better than tho betrayals the Liberal Party has been subject to for many years on their part? Then, at least, we might know where they stand. , "It is not however, only as a party matter that 1t should be regarded. There is the more important side- that o! principle. A calf has been is- sued to the Liberal Party by the pro- hibitionists (it amounts to that) that the convention should at the least declare for a plebiscite or some simil- ar reference. If the people of the prov ince are not satisfied with the re- sults of the last two elections, car- ried on as they were on the platforms of “dry and "wet." Iii the real ex- clusion of all else, then I am Imls- taken as to what n. true plebiscite can be, especially when we have the 192*? result."
