THE IRRESPONSIBLE Ml. HUGHES

\Ve publish in this morning’s issue the reply given

by Mr. A. .‘\. McLean, to the aspersions made by Mr. J. J. Hughes with reference to the patronage list in Priifce Edward Island. The Patriot had from time

.' _ , go

to “mc l)“bl’5h°d extracts from Mr Hughes speech eals first 'with thecanse which reduced the schooner

usiness of the maritime provinces to the linsatisfac ory condition in which it is found to~day. This

and _ivith more consideration for Mr. Hughes than that S gentleman had for himself or the province he misrep- t resents, prudently withheld many statements \vhich C it would have been more creditable to Mr. Hughes if S he had _never uttered them. Doubtless under the ins- I pirafion of llr. Hughes’ presence, the Patriot in its t issue of yesterday publishes the \vhole speech. It is t no credit to .\Ir. Hughes and is, for the most part a_ 6 slander on the province. V 3

It will be remembered that ;\Ir. I-Iuglies’ speech was si

one of the iiiaiiy petty, carping- puerile criticisms C which goaded .\Ir. .\1ichael Clark, of Red Deer to the a scathing rebuke he administered to his fellow Liberals B for wasting the time of the parliament and the time of I the country, for “losing their sense of proportion in C the greatest crisis that has ever been passed through si by this country, by this Empire and by the \vorld’s_

prospects of the advance of civilization.”

_ Mr. Hughes did not see the “greatest crisis,” he la saw 'only that “not a Liberal has been found to pro- ,- videzsupplies" for the army; that powder milk was t being supplied to the troops in Prince Edward Island I. to the ignoring of the Condensed Milk Factory, that a S Liberal paper in Charlottetown had asked for and g been refused the privilege of inserting an advertise- 0 ment asking for students for the Military College at ,_ Kingston. And in order to make 'these charges as ti glaring and as damaging as possible he stated that he 6 had been told “that it has been found that the supplies 5 are about 20 per cent. short of weiglit”-this shortage 10

\\'heii challenged to give names he of course could not; p he was content with making the insiiiuation. u

In our yesterday’s issue we published from Han- i

zard the names of the parties in Prince Edward Is- t land from whom the government purchases its war supplies. In the list is the firm of J. J. Hughes & t Co. Ltd., of which Mr. Hughes is the senior member.
