will meet the wishes of the majority of voters hut until such wish is tangibly expressed at the polls he cannot act fairly Ross a canny Scot but so many deputa tions pulling this way and that its a wonder he hasnt gone daft I some of you would submit a straight prohibition vote regardless whether it upset Grit government or no Thats just what many pro fessed prohibition organs are alter they are using that as a Wind to con ceal their real design which is to bust the Ross administration They are dragging a red over the trail to throw us oil the scent But cant fool old dogs They are seeking to bust Ross so they can get some pap themselves Ross is a wise pilot and sees every rock ahead The time has come ti strike Let us cast aside all selfish and narrow- minded notion and adopt a broad lib eral policy for the public weal Let our watchword be Ross liberty and prohibition droit Id like to see a political fight be tween oe two clever legal gentry T L the Conservative and L the Grit Twould
