Whence was it supplied was it supplied and who supplied it were. Tho legitimate bimetal members or j Mhor members were prosecuting failure to act when he heard from vote my. . F. W. Simon that the parliament better term buildings had been looted to Supply j Call it the fuilert.0n Roblin says the attorney general not the Fullerton this is a pro per substitution. One of or. Fullerton s chief clients in his recent performance in the courts was j. P. Foley his Law partner and the Man who stood to gain by the conspiracy was sir Campaign funds government has for been published. The Public will judge that defence. The Contention that he could not act upon the information because it came to him in the form of a letter from his client is morally Worth into the parliament. Buildings theft i expenses of the conservative party at the last election met ii. Money Robbert from the taxpayers of. The province was the Cor Trupti ble and purchasable element of tie electorate to erupted and purchased by Money taken from the pockets of All the people by Subtle and ingenious methods is there reasonable ground for belief that several candidates of the reconstructed 1 conservative party now in. The Field knew of the plundering of the people at the time they were banging desks in the legislature and other Wise encouraging sir Rod Nioucel Bobilu to refuse any investigation into the steal let the known facts speak for themselves. That Thomas Kelly and sons were paid nearly one million dollars for work not done and not intended to be done is fully admitted sir Redmond Koblin and his colleagues in the Lute government. Of Manitoba. This of course was a cold frigid steal. But in addition to this there is the important fact that a sirm in the neighbourhood of was prepaid to Thomas Kelly and sons Lor materials riot supplied or at any rate for contracts not completed. What became of this stolen Money this prepaid money1? v. W. Horwood former provincial architect has stated under oath that the conservative Campaign fund of the last general election was procured from contracts Given by the Roblin govern ment to Thomas Kelly and sons. Horwood stated the same tiling to Tho British architect f. W. Simon and or. Simon in turn told it in a letter dated december 8, 1014, to none other than sir James Aikins. The Leader of the reconstructed conservative party in this province. There is definite proof that Thomas Kelly withdrew from we shall not accuse or. Foley of being so poor a lawyer As not to know that or. Hudson had a thoroughly Good Case against the government and the contractor. Or. Poley a trustee for the people deliberately wilfully and knowingly became an accessory after the fact to the parliament buildings fraud. He now asks the constituency of. North Winnipeg to approve his course in protecting Kelly an4 the government from exposure. Can the electors of North Winnipeg afford to take the position that contractors of Tho right political Stripe should be per mixed in return for Campaign contributions to Rob the Public Treasury at will this is what a As. Part of by Thomas Kelly from that Bank on june 10, 1914, a Date just exactly a month prior to the general election. Here then is positive proof that. Or. Simpson head of conservative organization in. The City of Winni Peg received monies from Corr tractor Thomas Kelly shortly before the general election of last year. There is however the strongest possible presumption that the monies obtained by or. Simpson from the same source greatly exceeded indeed there is reasonable ground for belief that a Large part of the or prepaid to Thomas Kelly and sons shortly before the last general election on account of the Bizil Ding contract went into or. Simpson s Strong Box in the vaults of the Royat Trust company. Or. Simpson that Date has been furnishing Large sums of Money to politicians so sinister that it would be a misuse of language to speak of them As political. No one has yet suggested that or. Simpson provided these monies out of his personal wealth for the simple reason that such a suggestion would not deceive the dullest intellect. Less and even As a technicality it James Aikins another partner. In what office then was the conspiracy 1vhat it Avold me a. Has no value. The thefts of Money from the buildings in no Way entered into the relations Between sir James and his client. 1-1 and he j of course the defeat of the lib acted upon this information he j reals in the coming provincial elec would not have injured the cause of Uon would mean that the electors the contrary in regard the conduct of the Liberal members in prying into the Parlia ment buildings robbery and thereby upsetting the Roblin government Asj improper unwarranted. Fact. Sir James pleads further that or. Simon did not say that h e knew that these thefts were taking place but it would be a warning to All future oppositions not to display Only that or. Horwood had re v. _ i any pernicious activity m defending pc Teddy informed him that the j ule Public Treasury against thieves. Roblin government had got Cam. This would be the Only possible James h. Howden former attorney general of Manitoba has sworn that he obtained from or. Simpson on March 29, 1915, for the purpose of what he confessed was a corrupt political Deal. In passing it May be mentioned that this was pro eared from or. Simpson for the vilest political conspiracy of which the annals of Canadian politics Bear record. But the Point of re a Ernibee at the moment was that or. Simpson found the this however was not the Only time that James to. Howden confesses to having received monies from or. Simpson. Barry Whitla ., required for the defence of v. W. Hon Vood before the Mathers commission. This 31 r. Whitla obtained from James a Howden. Who swore to the Mathers commission that he received on May 6, 1915, from or. Simpson. There Are other transactions All pointing to the one Conlu Winnipeg Banks within a week or two of the Manitoba general Sion that or. Simpson had a Large Supply of ready Money to be election year sums to this was withdrawn from time to time in Cash. Is there any reasonable doubt in mind As to and disposition of this Only is there no reasonable doubt but there is positive proof regarding a portion at any rate of it is known that a portion of the sum was turned Over to or. R. M. Simpson president of the Winnipeg conservative association and there is Strong circumstantial evidence to justify the Assumption that the bulk of the was. Given into or. Simpson s hands for Safe keeping. In a Strong Box deposited by or. Simpson with the Royal Trust company were found the Seal string and package of Twenty Bills. A Teller of the Imperial Bank identified this package e when or. Whitla to return to Winnipeg used on behalf of the conservative party. Learnt that the witness Salt was threatening i i went to or. Simpson and asked for Cor Salt giving his reason that he knew that or. Simpson had previously provided Money to keep Salt at distance. These then Are the main facts of the Roblin Campaign fund of. The general election of 1914. Is there any reasonable doubt that this Campaign fund brazenly stolen from people was distributed Over every constituency in the province of Manitoba is there any reasonable do Tot that the Roblin politicians who have now the shamelessness and the impudent audacity to present themselves again to the Manitoba electors knew perfectly Well whence came the funds which helped to elect them to the Legisla Ture on july 10, 1914? the Manitoba patriotic fund elsewhere is published in some detail a review of the work done to Date by the organization in charge pain fund out of the extras of the interpretation of a popular vote parliament. Buildings. At that time against the Liberal government on August 6. It would be the inter or. Horwood was the provincial Manitoba patriotic fund. Be the fund paid out up to june i predation put. Upon it by the rest of 30 the enormous sum architect and As Yuch had full j Canada which would under these for the purpose for which the fund charge of the supervision of j conditions reach the just conclusion was the assistance of the buildings. From what better source could information of this nature come if sir James had wanted to defend the Treasury of the province against the Roblin government he would have made the receipt of the letter from or. Simon the starting that the people of Manitoba had in the Roblin administration the Only kind of government Thoy will permit to exist. Political twats. Another new and Independent conservative candidate has taken i Point of an investigation within the the Field for honest and pure i government in the person of Aims party that would have led to the i Benard who has raised the Aikins j detection of the crime and the j Rogers Bauner a Berville. Punishment the guilty. Had this John t. Haig. Addressing the con been his course of action sir James j mention which placed or. Benard in might today be the Leader of a re j nomination said that no better candidate could possibly be found than or. this oracular deliverance might justly be disputed but on one Point there will be Complete agreement. I James of past indifference to the j Aime Benard is just As suitable a Man to represent Iberville As John t. Haig is to represent Assiniboia. Constructed and reformed conservative party with a claim to the Confidence the people. The actual record convicts sir Public interests and o insincerity in his present professions of concern Tor the Public welfare. He knew last january that the Public Treasury had been looted. He kept silent. I when the Liberal members were battling in the Public accounts committee for a proper inquiry he looked on and said nothing. He might have privately advised his party friends on the committee that it was desirable in the interests of the boat to prohibition. It is not True As is being stated in certain Charters that the vote in Alberta on prohibition was merely a direction to the legislature. The vote validated an act. Of the legis lature which now comes into effect automatically on july 1, 1916. The procedure adopted in Alberta is precisely the procedure which will be followed in Manitoba upon the re turn to Power of the Norris. Govern Bill providing for prohibit the province that no obstacles should be put in the Way of a Complete in j Tjon will be enacted by the legis vesti gation. It is highly significant i nature. And it will become Law upon that his own Law partner who was a fixed Date upon being ratified by a member of the Public accounts the people by direct vote. Trip certain Ana sure Road this Road to in Temperance Lead committee was or. Coldwell s right hand Man in choking off the inquiry pro of know it. They Are and applying the Whitewash Brush not Ujj the least impressed by the to the government. When an in a Promise to bring in immediate pro vesti Gadon was forced by influences j Bibi Tion by legislative action made by the party which gave this identical pledge in 1899 and fulfilled it in families of those who have gone to the War. At the end of june there were families in the City. Of Winnipeg on the books of the fund and 70s at Points outside the City. This fund was organized on the basis of monthly contributions to that will be made during the fall and. Winter months upon the patriotic fund the situation May be difficult but the solution is Plain even though it May not be easy. The must look after the families of those who go to the Froh tas a matter of obligation in which they should take Pride. Not. Only must they make up their minds to continue their subscriptions to the fund until the War but wherever it is pos sible the amount of subscription should be increased. The extra Money can be got without undue cover a year. It is therefore self i sacrifice by the practice of Thrift. Evident that the fund must be at once readjusted upon a wider and there has been a great change in the last year in the living habits of More generous scale. The end of j the people but the simplicity of life the first year will find the problem j which ought to Mark a nation at which first called the fund into sex i War is As yet an Ideal. Stence still with us and possessing new and grave difficulties. Not Only one feature of the operations of the past year that must be changed must the fund be maintained for at is the undue proportion of the least another year but it must be amount raised which has been con increased to meet the added de tribute by the citizens of Winni mands that will arise from the despatch of additional contingents. Manitoba has already according to the statistics in the Possession of sent men to the War the Strong probabilities Are that this number will be doubled by the end of the year. While pro Bably a higher percentage of those who will hereafter go will be single than was the Case a year ago the net result of so Large an addition to our fighting forces in the Field must be to increase heavily the demands Peg. On the basis of demands upon the fund Winnipeg should con tribute 75 per cent and the rest of the province 25 per actual figures have been Winnipeg 90 per cent., with 10 per cent. No doubt this is largely the result of the More effective canvass which was applied to the City. The country Given an Opportunity to at least treble contribution during the coming year and we feel sure that it. Will respond to the demand made upon it. Tion reported that these expenses were the election Campaign last year in North Winnipeg was an expensive one As everybody in that constituency knows. The election did not Cost or. a cent be cause the expenses of the elec Tion were paid out of Public moneys stolen from the Public Treasury with the Connivance of the government of the Day by a contractor turned Over to the party managers. As a Campaign fund. In return or. Foley did his Best to Kelly at which the Roblin government had not taken into calculation he undertook to bring the lieutenant manner known to All governor to a state of mind which Bermer s Conception of i politics would make it possible to squelch1 tie inquiry. Not Only without the assist in one and the same article in the current Issue of be the Nal Organ of Hon. Joseph Ber Perso Ance of sir James but in shiite of n Jer. Appears a High sounding Eulogy investigation has become a reality and the resulting exposures have destroyed the Hoblit govern ment sir James nobly Steps into the breach and asks the traded and robbed by his political entrust him with the i in Complete disorganization of sir James Aikins and the follow ing estimate of political life the Liberal party Lias got to such Point As to have committed a Colos i tactical Blunder. Or. Norris was too Mupi Flod to Call a general Elce nov immediately upon office. Two months ago or. Norris and his 1 on the last session of the legislature and if he is returned at the coming election he will doubtless further repay Bis debt by using his influence to Stop proceedings against the contracting firm which befriended him at the outset of his political career. The Liberal declaration in., favor of direct legislation. In both Alberta and Saskatchewan the conservatives have declared in favor direct legislation and before this election Campaign is Over the Manitoba conservatives will regret that have not done likewise. Of course every one knows that sir tames Aikins and the interests that he specially represents Are hostile to such a thorough going democratic policy As direct this is no reason Why it should not be included in the new platform of the new conservative party along with other Liberal planks to which sir James is equally hostile. M Fluty of completing the investigation and punishing the guilty and at the same time to censure and condemn the Liberal members who uncovered Rasca Lity. 3ir. Foley seeks be elec Tox j p. Foley has had the Assurance to submit his name to the electors of North Winnipeg whose interests he has so grossly betrayed As that of a suitable representative in the legislature. With the exception of poor Norris. Why did you wait ions and lot to Many weeks so by of you ministers and before launching Only knew How your partisans this is re Blessing you for an insight into the ideals which animate at least one Section of the reconstructed and very virtuous conservative party of Jan Toba. The free press respectfully suggests for about the twentieth time to the Dominion government that the Taeg Liche of St. Paul Minneapolis May Well be added to those German american publications already barred from the Canadian mails. From the first an inveterate upholder of German militarism and a slanderer of the allies this Sheet in Issue july 17, Speaks of the traitor this characterization of a Man who has stood True to British democracy Calls for action from the Ottawa authorities.

P Foley in making a re turn under the Law of expenses in North Winnipeg on the occasion of the last provincial elec while they were in the business of Liberal platform the new conservatives made a great mistake in not looking backward free Presa iras founded in 1872.
