GOVT. WOULD TAKE
 OVER WET SALES
Ontario Conservatives Announce
 Campaign Platform

Toronto, Ont. Oct. te P-Doc- tors prescriptions will be wiped out ard government commission ap- pointed to handle the sale of liquor in the dry province of Ontario. If the conservative government headed by Premier c. Howard Ferguson is returned to power in the elections to be held on December l.
 At present Ontario is one of the four dry" provinces. where prescriptions are necessary to get liquor legally. Beer of A per cent alcoholic content Is sold openly, but this was not regarded as tntoXi- eating when the law authorizing its sale was passed.
 In announcing the dissolution of the Ontario legislature last night. Premier Ferguson said his party would appeal 10 the people on policy of government control of liquor sales. To the laws existing in Quebec and the four western provinces The bars will not come back to Ontario In any case.
 Revenues from the government liquor sales will be used for the re- duction of taxation. MT, Ferguson said
 Government sales will not be im- posed upon areas that have banish- ed the sale of liquor under local option.
 This is the first time In the history of Canada that q provincial election has been contested on the prohibi- lion question, and it is notable that Ontario, the pioneer in advocating prohibition legislation. should be the battle ground.
 In the referendum in Ontario two years ago government control and sale of liquor was rejected by majority of 35,000. the cities chiefly voting wet, and the rural dis tricts dry.
