in taco of these facts can any- bodyflesy that the Bell Government hu not deceived the people n they were never deceived before’! To any so would be to falsify the facts. They deceived the people by broken promises. by doubled taxes, by their allnry grab and in a score of other ways. and now, when‘ brought to trial for their of- fences they are inventing new de- ceptinns to cover up the past. But it is impoeelbe again to deceive lu- telllzent men and woman who read and htar both sides of the story. The people know who planned the great betrayal of 1919, which has cost them so dear nnd they know full ivell the mernbe a and the sup- porters who have the price of that betrayal in their pockets. ‘We can- not believe the voter! are now dis- posed to further reward the pro-
