Drury was first chosen president of the United Farmers of Ontario, but became vice president shortly after- ward, and has held that office ever since. Now he has been made premier of Ontario by a unanimous vote of the members, though not yet elected to the house. His choice will be ratified by the annual U. F. O. convention next month, as the institution has always been developed along democratic lines, and no “caucus rule” is permitted or attempted. - is the wet weather service uniform for the regular men who make every day count.

This is a strong combination in Ontario, and has gone a long way to help meet the cries of enemies that it is a “Grit” dodge or a Roman Catholic affair. (The old, old game!)

Burnaby of the co-operative company is a successful business man, who “reformed” and is now working a large and valuable farm for a living, on the outskirts of Toronto. He is a wealthy man with the peculiar gift of insight into and sympathy for the problems of the poor man struggling along to make a liv- ing out of his acres. Halbert is a candidate for the house of commons, now in the midst of his by-election, and Burnaby is freely spoken of as a prospective member from his county. Colonel John Z. Fraser was another of the leaders from the start. He has been an influential Conservative all his life, and a military man. As president of the publishing company that owns the Farmers’ Sun, he has done good work for the movement, and at pres- ent - represents the U. F. O. on the Canadian wheat board, where the two farmers are hopelessly outnumbered by members of the grain and milling trade. -3 B Presxdent W:Ison says: “We « have been a great producing nation, but a very wasteful one. The time has come when we must give more thought to saving not only our nation but every industry in it. Saving does not mean going without. God knows we all have gone without enough, but it means what ,is not wasted we have to buy comforts with.” 3 A League of Hog Raisers using Hog Motors can raise 25,000,000 more hogs on the same amount of grain as now being fed.

The writer re- “calls with considerable pride that he —a mere man—had the privilege of nominating the first president and secretary of the U. F. W.

This same story of personal sacrifice runs through the activities of all those connected with the movement in any way. - And how could it be otherwise, with a 50-cent yearly membership fee, which was raised a year ago to $1, but which should be $5 at the very least?

The farmers’ platform was an at- tractive affair.” In the first place, it demanded a less reckless expenditure of the public funds. In support of the U. F. 0.’s bluntly put demand to “Cut out all unneces- sary expenditure,” figures were pro- duced showing that the provincial ex- penditure had gone up sensationally in recent years, as indicated by the followmg table: - 1895 i 33,758,595 ... 4,003,729 B Don’teelladollar’aworth to you get HILL, BROS.

All of these things were ignor- ed by the party press, apparently for Yhe reason that it is tacitly under- stood that these things go along with party politics, where the government is controlled by certain underhand, or unseen interests, and not by the peo- ple. 'CABINET MEMBER QUITS FOR OIL FIRM JOB, It was considered significant by many that a leading member of the cabinet should resign, and take on an important office with the Imperial Oil company, whose solicitor he had been while a member of the government, and should die a short time later worth over a million, although there has never been a whisper that he definite- ly “sold” his province for any money. It was said, however, on one case that no matter which of the old parties went back, the Imperial Oil company would have the ear of the government. In one riding it was openly charged —and names were mentioned—that both Liberal and Conservative candi- dates at a previous election had been given $20,000 each for their election expenses by an agent of Mackenzie & Mann, our great railway builders— and wreckers—and that the man who spent all his lot won out over the man who saved $5,000 of it for himself. These things showed up in black re- lief against the clean campaign of the U. F. 0., who had no campaign funds, had no big interests backing them, and quietly received the calumnies of a united press. Personalities were not indulged in and the fight was on a high ground, so far as the U. F. O. was. concerned, though several at- tempts to bring in scandals against the U. F. O. men were made. ~ In one riding the total election ex- penses of. the U. F. O. candidate, who was elected by a large majority, would not exceed $50 or $75. No outside "speakers were called in, few posters were printed,sand only a few ads were put in the local papers. The rest was done by the rank and file of the mem- bership, who got out and worked for their man in a marvelous way.

This is the program shouldered by Premier Drury and his colleagues, to which the Labor members have ac- quiesced, struggling a bit to swallow the temperance clause, but doing it manfully.
