At 4 there Are p or 6 there Are All 720 names of men who when the lists were by enumeration not by registration As Els whore were engaged in construction work along the railway. A preliminary Check showed less than a Hundred of these men still employed on the line. The rest had scattered. Other men had come in to take their places in part but the working staff is now much smaller than when the lists were made. V the task before the liberals at the outset of the Campaign was thus a formidable one. It was necessary to have in each of these polls a com Mittee to Check the lists get a line on the absentees and prepare for the effective Manning of the polls on election Day. Without this preliminary work and an organization of this character the voting of the absentees the More highly Orga Rizco government forces would be a matter of Little Liff Salty. A special difficulty arose from the fact that nearly two thirds of the men whose names were on the list were ruthenian and italians. The Strong probabilities Are that most of these men Are not citizens Canada. Precautions appear to have been taken when the list was compiled to ascertain whether or not the men enrolled were naturalized. Recognizing the difficulties of the situation the Liberal executive sent to the Pas about Twenty experienced election workers men trained in scrutineer ing and familar with the election Law to Aid the local men in the ground in keeping the legitimate the list included several expert and experienced scrutineers who in Centre baffled the plungers. Or. Norris the Leader of the liberals also want to the Pas with the intention of addressing meetings along the line of railway. Accompanying him were past or present members of the b. J. Mcconnell of a. Dixon w. Molly and d. A. Ross. The managers of the Roblin Campaign appear to have come to the in the Day that it fatal to their chances of Success if the liberals and kept the vote Down to the Bona fide electors. It is a known fact in the Pas that in a fair fight carriers would beat Orok two to one. To make it possible for the machine to plug these 600 Absentee votes it therefore became necessary to keep the Liberal workers and speakers out of the Northern polls. This was done by declaring an embargo on the Hudson Bay rail Way which is a Dominion government work superintendent of construction was instructed to Issue an order that no one was to be permitted to go Down the line in a gasoline Only Means of transportation other than construction trains from which liberals were barred also by orders from a permit my. All that it was then necessary to do was to refuse a permit to All liberals. This was done. Instructions were also Given that no one was to be allowed to Cross the Bridge leading from the Pas to the North Shore of the Saskatchewan. Provincial policemen under orders from attorney general Howden were stationed at the Bridge to enforce this Rule. Or. Norris himself venturing upon the sacred Bridge was threatened with arrest. F. J. Dixon and a Molloy ex-.p., who crossed the Saskatchewan and ventured into the forbidden had insuperable difficulties placed in their Way. The officials of the Road under orders from head quarters refused them accommodation in. The. Camps and forbade them to use the construction the assistance of the men they covered a considerable portion of the territory but were obliged after a few Days to Retreat to the Pas. Meanwhile there has been no embargo upon the comings and goings of the Roblin machine men. On the very Day that or peremptorily refused the. Right to the line Theo.
