The Law of parties. The him. Clifford sic ton speaking at St Boniface on saturday evening took occasion to say that he was a. Believer in party government and that the sin Cere party Man must be prepared to work for his party because he must Beli Ivo that in doing so tie is working for the country s Good. The minister of the Interior in this respect As on All other questions of political Man age rent again showed that he is fully in touch with the popular sentiment of the country. The recent elections have dealt harshly with independents and third party candidates. About the Only in dependent that has secured election is or. Rodolphe forget in Chor Levoix a Trust representative who bought the conservative organization outright and then relied on his Money for the rest. Of the third candidates there is not Ona who has shown any remarkable strength when the returns were in. It not the fault of the candidates themselves perhaps. They were simply running contrary to sound political j traditions and necessities. J no one Ever saw three Independent j armies each making War upon the other two. The thing is impossible. No one Ever saw three distinct Politi Cal parties at the same time in this country and never will. The periods approaching such a condition Here or abroad were Brief were times of Dis solution new formation transition. Three armies on the same Field must Lead to coalition and alliances decisive Battle is Between two. When the British unionists could no longer support the Liberal policy of Home Rule they entered into a working arrangement with the conservatives while their support was duly acknowledged they were required to give Loyal support to the conservative arty. The British labor party May claim the name of party but in effect they Are compelled to enter into arrangements with the liberals in the matter of the Choice of candidates so that there May be an Exchange of Mutual support a division of the positions to be assaulted by the coalition forces. The american populists sought to attain their object by an Alliance with the democrats. Whatever May be said from an Ethi Cal Point of View about the morality of such alliances. It is certain that they afford the Only Chance for a political faction to accomplish anything. Even third parties As that Lead by Parnell or the German Centre whose object was confessedly not the Good of the country at Large but to secure the redress of a special grievance by rendering government impossible when they held the balance of Power found it necessary to enter into working agreements with one or the other the leading parties at election time to that their candidates might not be a. Cause of embarrassment to their temporary allies. Great As the recent defeat of the conservative party has been the vote which it polled in the country the manner in which it has overshadowed. Independents illustrate the Power of tradition in political organization. And it is Boa use some political thinkers recognize this Power of tradition that they seek to utilize it. Since there must be an., Alliance since there can be but Hwo sides when the vote is taken in parliament they recognize that their influence can be turned. To much greater advantage at the polls than in the commons. Every Independent agitation for a Reform of general interest will command a quota of sup porters in a Large number of constituencies. If these supporters can be induced to support the candidates of one of the old parties they can influence the result of Many elections and have corresponding claims upon the support of the party which they help to return to Power. If on the pre Fer to stand up to be they very Likely will not secure the elec Tion of a sin Gle one of their candidates and will be left without in parliament. The Dominion trades and labor Congress has heard Many Strong speeches in favor of a labor party but it has always been reluctant to take any Radical action in the matter. The reason is that the majority of Dele Gates while not inclined to openly re Sist the radicals Felt the truth of the arguments herewith presented. The Man who would get along must be pre pared to make concessions to his Fel Low beings in Alt the. Walks of life and is True of politics. In the nature of our political institutions there can never the but two parties answer Rig any rational of a party. Now that the elections Are Over the free press _ Wiit be charged with interested motives for trying to impress this truth a full understand ing of which is essential to the proper operation of our parliamentary system. Or. Hastings idea of a scandalous outpace out of the list of 41. electors at Beausejour Al actually cast their ballots. Or. W. H. Hastings the Napoleonic organizer and Clia Pion predictor of victories that do not materialize has an interview in the evening Telegram of saturday which is a Fine example of his proficiency in the Art of telling lies. In this interview he gives a hat at 41 electors who he says were de or in std of their right to vote at Beausejour by liar dog their names illegally struck from the we quote the paragraph in order that there May be no mis the right of every elector to his franchise preserved. V the boundaries of the new polling divisions with the location of the polling Booths were published in the proclamations that were posted up in every constituency there was no excuse for any conservative going to the wrong polling Booth. It is pretty Clear that in Many cases they went to i the wrong Booths deliberately in men s men s overcoats the collect lab of at Price has been carefully gathered and All the newest and Best styles that Are made it s a Range of such and. Such style that trill men of taste. Fancy tweeds Bettye. Melton. Assorted colors. Velvet col Lars ".Etc. Your its your time to see them. Order to raise a disturbance. Beausejour for instance a mob be by the local police magistrate .1 nominee of course of the Roblin government stormed the polling understanding about this grave Booth and wrecked it. Chairge i will give you the names of the Rhc be thing resolves itself into the persons who were struck from off a Cheeky attempt by w. H. Hastings s the county. Ther and Colin h.

Provincial polling constituency of Selkirk and Corree the 41 men whose names were div Siong As Well. As the provincial lists the press thinks the Field.

Hicks James Huggins Thomas hug to fix their own polling Booth let us state a single fact in the general provincial elections j Tlell leu Ujj. e. Of Leaden Charles Mitchell of july 1003, the polling Booth for Thomas Mowatt Freddie Mccowan Lac a Bonnet was put at Cromwell. Between the two places there stretch Jet risk r. S. Beatty. Thomas Bridd Joseph Bridges John George Best Charles Cotterell Thomas Coohrane Ignaty Domansky h. A. Gibson John Thomas hug gins Edward Hughes Charles How and Keilbach. V.

Waltham Tor living at Lac Dubonnet who t. T. Wyrzykowski George Watkins i Wlsh a to vote had to go to mols i train thence to Beausejour by Cromwell seven Miles Distant by walking or driving. The a falsehood nor were theh names increased by the fact struck from the list the Best proof from Lac Bonnet and George the statement that these people were deprived of their franchise is of this is the fact that most of these disfranchised persons voted As a re Molson ism Anc Mircu Ference to the poll books shows. Edee ran Tat Only one he elector Day each who came win John Aston Geo. R. Aston g. W. Lout to vote would be obliged to wait on or. Hastings a week before he could get Backun less he drove the whole Way. Of the Twenty eight electors registered at Lac Dubonnet but three surmounted the difficulties and pres list enter themselves at the Cromwell Boyd we. Bachman a. Barry John Hicks James Higgins. V. Klimes Joseph Keilbach Jacob Labouskie As ton Schre yer e. J. Thomas w. J. Electors actually cast their votes at Booth. Cromwell. Some or these men a fire Liberal officials at Oie Cromwell poll. Others who though denied their j rights As when they arrived there they found and no vote. The Lac Dubonnet list of voters electors of this was on the last Page of the Spring we quote or. Nevertheless Field voters list. Before sending the marked their ballots at Beausejour hat to the Deputy at. Cromwell the Bachman r. La St Page was torn off by someone Thos. Budd j whose identity can be George it was not the intention of the local Charles Thos. Cochrane h. Government to permit the people of a Gibson Charles Howland Thos. Lac Dubonnet to vote. They fixed Mowatt James Pinker ton Joseph the poll at a Point which they could Shaw or. W. Wickens George wat not reach and then to make things were these August Bethel r. S. Beatty Joseph Bridges John Kins and George . Edward Hughes and Thomas e. Lutley voted at Selkirk. This accounts for.31 of the disfranchised electors. If the others did not vote it was not because their names were not on the list. Some them were absent from the locality. All this outcry about names struck from the list is absurd. It is resorted to by or. Hastings and the local government to save their face in View of their extravagant prophecies of Victory. The Liberal returning officers in accordance with their Powers made polling divisions to suit the convenience of electors. In Many cases they dad not. Correspond with the polling subdivisions fixed by the local government at the last election. Where they varied the lists had to be re arranged to suit but it was the duty of the returning officer which was we believe lived in every Case to see that in this re arrangement doubly sure they Tore the names of the Lac Dubonnet electors off the list. Here. Indeed was a piece of political Rasca Lity which called for. Punishment but our Active attorney general and or. W. A. Hastings the Champion of pure elections took no Steps to bring the offenders to Justice. Possibly the fact that they were consenting Par jes to the outrage had something to do with their failure to take action. The Dominion government officials naturally refused to accept polling sub divisions designed As in the Case of Lac Dubon net to prevent liberals from Vot ing. They Mado new polling., sub divisions adjusting the lists to them. In this they did not exceed their authority and in arresting and bad Gering them or. C. H. Campbell our precious attorney general has Sim ply shown anew that he thinks it proper to manipulate the administration of Justice in the supposed inter ests of the local tammany machine. Republican Campaign managers. The against Oie votes of Many ind Epen Stana taken by judge Parker in re democrats who Are confidently Gard to the trusts is one that will a peal forcibly to the immense class of people in the United states who live fixed salaries and on whom the e very great increase Cost Elf living during recent years bears heavily. This class is undoubtedly restless and it is to this restless Ness that judge Parker s Appeal addresses itself forcibly. The most substantial foundation for democratic Hopes is the fact that the two elections of 1902 and 1906 revealed in several important states a ten Dency in the cities to become More strongly democratic. This tendency was noticeable in the democratic gains in new Tork City Boston Providence Indianapolis Chicago Cleve land Baltimore and St. Louis. The counted upon to vote for judge Par Ker to Morrow.
