GONE DRY
BY BIG MAJORITY
Premier Hearst and the Conservative
Government Were Swamped in
Yesterdays Election.

Toronto, Oct. 2l.-Complete returns
from yesterdays election in which Sir
William Hearst, premier of the prov
ince, and the conservative government
have been swamped, indicate that On
tario has gone dry" by an oyerwhelm-
ing majority.
Throughout the province, especially
in the rural districts, the prohibition
wave has rolled high. The voting was
8 to | in favor OF it in most districts.
The defeat Of the Hearst ccnserya-
tive government, according to the Mail
and Empire, the conservative organ.
was due mainly to the big vote polled
by the United Farmers and labor can
didates, who took - and % seats, re-
speetiyely. The liberals, despite their
wins Of seats in Toronto, viii stand
apparently as they stood in the last
legislature.
The largest single party in the new
House will be the farmers. By alliance
with either of the old parties and the
labor party it should command work
ing majority. Just what will be the
new government in Ontario viii re.
main doubtful until the new iegisla
ture meets. The Hearst government
will remain in power until that time.
If the prime minister does not sue
eeed in reaching working agreement
with any other party in the House, he
will tender his resignation TO the lieu
tenant governor. The lieutenant gov
ernor probably would then ask either
the farmers or the liberals to-form a
cabinet.

MOTORISTS STEALING PUMPKINS
A Farmer Has Made Complaint to the
Secretary Of State.

The complaints which the secretary
of state gets are varied and some of
them are humorous and otherwise, but
one of those which he is investigating
at the present time is about as anus
ing as any of late date. It appears
that a farmer, whose name is not vet
obtainable, has complained that he did
not object to one or two persons taking
pumpkins, but he did not feel that he
could supply every automobile party
that come along. At present, the in
yestigation is relative to machine of
the larger value and size.
Frank A. Balch of Jonesyille has
made a complaint relative to the dog
which John Booth of Barre recently
reported that he killed, and wants an
investigation 1t appears that the dog
was accompanied by its owner, that
it was a valuable dog, and that, ac-
cording to the report, the driver of
the automobile, did not stop after he
hit the dog The dog was accom-
panying its master and was being used
in driving cows.

again when the witness said that Long
admitted having an understanding with
Mrs Parker relative to certain things.
Long consulted frequently with his
attorneys, making suggestions appar-
emily. That part of Detective Woods
testimony which seemed to arouse the
prisoner more than anything else was
in relation to the conversation inter-
rupted by the knocking at the door by

the conversation:
Go on, George, tell the whole story

kissed him as she left Mrs. Parker's
the night of May "a She told him
she was going down the railroad track
