lir. Puqsley, Leader ot
with Rage and is Caustic ' Challenge.
OTTAW'A.- Parliament had a fore-
taste today of the coming canipaign when Dr. Edwards, Frontetiac, admi- nistered a terrible caatlgatlun to tllllt smooth, ingenious politician lion. \\lut. Pugsley. The attack ca-inc when Ztlr. Pugsley sought to deprive Canadian soldiers, who camo from another coun- try to enlist, the right of casting avote at the next election. .1.s Dr. Edwnrtls proceeded with his spceclt, Mr. Pugs- ley became livid with rage but tor once was unable to i-epfv.
The I-lon. William Pugsley tittro-
duced an amendtnent limiting the franchise to those soldiers who ltati beeit"‘ordlnarily resident in Canatla" prior to enlistment. The mere fact that a British subject from the Uni- ted Stntes, Japan or China, joined the Cattztdiatt forces to tight for the ltltn- _plre, even lt' he had. never`been in
this country and knew nothing of po- llticul questions ltere, tllil not etitltln ltiin to the franchise. lie ltutt no right to take part in the civil affairs
of (`anadit, or to have u voice in deci- ding who were to govern this country for the next five years.
Mr. W. M. Get-ntitn, Wetland, secon-
dctl the amend-ment. Ile said the
clause as it stood was an outrage oit the civil rights of the people of (';i-
tladn and on the soldier elector 'wlto_ was fighting t!anada’s battle in the ti-entzhes.
Mr. W. S. Mltitllebro, North Grey,
protested against the amendntent. Any British subject who thought enouglt of Canada to risk .his lite for tlte country was, in his opinion, cn- lltlctl to a vote in tlsttatla. lt wit.-i an insult to the people of this coun- try to ask them to vtttn for such an atnenllruent as Mr. llugslcy ltad intro- duced. “A ntati who has taken his llfo in his hands t`or this Dominion is m0t'e_worthy of the francltise than I who sit in this House anti have not offereii my Ilfe," he concluded. I
Lieut.-Col. Arthurs, Parry Sound,'

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Amid much laughter, tlte chairman
instructed Mr. Pugsley to take back his phrase about the pipe.
I beg respect fully to withdraw that
sentence," said Mr. Pugaley.
Ur. Edwards then produced the -mi-
litia list and showed that Lieut. J. A. Pugsley joined the 62nd Regiment, St. John Fusilliers, November 17, 1914. _ “Was that your son or not? he ask-
_ed the member for St. John.
Mr. Pugsley: After the statements
that have been made by the hon mem- ber for Frontenac -I will decline to have any intercourse with him. His atatc-ment went farther than this, and. it was to the entire statement that I referred when I said it was absolutely false, and l can prove that."
Dr. l-Edwards: The hon. member
puts hiimsclt' in the position of dis- ownlt.g his own sou. I
The inentber for Frontenac went on
to .suv that a British subject who had rctitriicd to t‘utiuda front the United .\‘t,ilt-s or elsewhere to put on the ulti- foriin and keep lt on was better on-_ titled to tx vote than such a lieutenant as had been described.
“li I were u soldier of this class,
and was asked where il. wanted my vote to apply," said Dr; Edwards. “I would say ‘count it in St. John against the nictnber for St. John. for he has hutl a crack at its as well as the lluus.’ It would be retributlve jus- tice lt' 1.00 ot' these soldiers couldiget. n clinnce to cast their ballots against. the man wlto had disgraced 'the city ot' St. .lobn ever since this ques- tion came up."
Mr. Pugsley: “Tltere are some
niitinlier.-t ot’ this House who so far forget themselves that no hott. gentle- man would demean himself by reply~ ing to them. I should say one mam- ber, for there is one who has on many occasions shown himself unworthy of anyhody':-i respect. My hon. friend front Froittettac will know to whom I refer. Ile says that I have disgraced the city ol' St. John, and that »l- have given no support to the boys at the front. I do not know tlte age of my hott. frieitti. but I atm beyond the ago
gone to the fight, These had been
quallned by residence to vote, attd_ the Liberals were depending on tl1elr_
support in the election. The opposl-_ tion was quite willing to defend thee_e_ men, but not those Britlshers who' were willing to fight for the country.
Dr. Euwartls, Frotttettnc, ittiituaied
that the ntetnbers for St. John and: Wetland were not so much afraid'
of the non-resident soldier vote nully-I tying the votes of the Canadian sol-.

Pugsley had not done his part for the_ boys at the front, or acted as a pa-_ triotic citizen ot' Canada in trying to raise recruits. Ho referred to l\flr_I Pugsloyls son, Lleut. J. A. Pngsieyf alleging that this officer had donned tt utiii’orni in the fall of 1914, anti thcnI

Mr. Pugsley: The statements itiittlo
by my lion. friend are absolutely false. I also wish to say that li is a cowardly thing to attack a matt behind hisl but-lt.
Dr. Edwards uskeil the (‘linlrntan,
tMr. J. Ii. ltalnvllle.l to have the word false withtlrnwti.
Mr. Rnitivllle decided that the word
was utlintiiisultle under thi- rules.
Dr. Edwards: >l- ask tor a ruling
as to the word “cowardly."
Mr. Rainvllle ruled that the word had been applied to tlte tiouit ‘attuck," _ and not to the member for Frontenac.
"Very well. then," said Dr. Ed-
wards, "tho hon. 'member for St. John has' stood up tn his place and made statements that ure absolutely fnlsc :ind 'cowardly in tlte extreme. l~‘ur~

Mr. Pugsley: I repeat that the
statement ts false, and that it is a cowardly thing to attack (young man
who is not here to defend himself.
