To his surprise, the old man flatly refused to vote for the Li'bernl candidate.
"But why?" asked the canvasser. "You've always voted for the Liberal heforo. Why have yon changed your mind so suddenly?"
"'Well, it's like this,"" the old man explained. "I hear tell as dt's said t' Liberals is gpin , to do away wi' all the piers in Tsh© country; sin , if they do, WHEER EE I GOIN' TO LAND MY FISH?"
