WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1915

The electors will have the opportunity f°'1'9°"`°W “f

three weeks the country luis been visited froiii one 81111 to the other by candidates and their political trieiids lay- ing the issues before the electorate.-

'l`he campaign has been marked by large and eiitliu-

siastic ineetings in which, as a rule, the best ordof DTH' vuiled.

The Government candidates have placed the i‘eC0l'f-i Of

the Mathieson Government fairly and squarely b€f0F0` their constituents, and have asked for a renewal of the confidence bestowed nearly four years ago in order that tho good work begun should be continued and extended during the next four years.

The Opposition candidates have had no constructive

policy to advocate. Their stock-in-trade has consisted of carping criticisms, inisrepreseiitatioiis and personalities. i‘roin the multitude of their speakers the only substantial promise which is in any way definite is that they would interfere with the present educational curriculum and reduce the expenditure on agricultural education.

The lirst promise means that the Grits would deprive

the country children of tho benefits of education they iibw enjoy.

The second promise incnns that the $20,000 now given

by thc llominion Govoriiniciit exclusively for agricultural education under the approval of the Dominion Government, would be withdrawn.

This vote must be spent on agricultural education, ami

if it is not so spent returns to the Iiomiiiion Treasliry.

Arc the fariners of this agricultural comniunity going

to despise nn annual subsidy of $20,000 for agricultural cdiicntion merely on the predixit ot Grit candidates who say wrongly it might be dcvuted to the cheapciiing of mussel inud?

The Muthicson Government has a record of work ac-

coniplishcd that excels anything in the history oi' the l’i'ovince. l’reiuicr Matiiicson has tit-.voted his ability ami time wiiole-lienrtctlly to the interests of the province ami has in tlircc-anti-ri-lialf years completely changed the as- pect of things. """'

instead of gloom, dissatisfaction. discontent ami dc-

spair we have now optimism, clicerfuliioss, prosperity and rl. general spirit of liopcfuliiess and progress. lil a word the “knocker” has been killed and the “booster” has taken his place.

The Opposition candidates would have us return to

the days of the “knocker” with all the dreadful nightmare wliicli his reign signified.

The duty of the electors is plain; it is to vote for the

Govcriinieiit cnnditlalcs, to vofc for ii better. briglitor, hap- Dicr p`rovince than was ever experienced during the twen- ty-one years oi' Liberal mis-rule.

Electors do your duty!

f ABUSING MAJOR BARTLETT

Nothing iS ll"|0l‘*"- l`0lZrettablc in the present controversy

t(iIci>,iit oi`tlie_l’atil’iot. lilujoi' Bartlett, l’r csident of the Gum. .ni1, is ‘neitliei an active journalist nor an active politi- l_i.ti|. Like Mr. ilearlz, Major Bartlett is universally QS. t"‘_’"_""l “W1 l"‘SlN‘<‘leti as a citizcn anti man of public- Sliirit. always willing and ready to lend his services in any

controversy,

0 iii ilie second place the arena was owned by a company liiirilsiliing of fourteen Liberals (including Mr, Vvnrlinrton

Y- Rirliards) and Five Conservatives (including

Major Bartlett).

‘ This needs no further comment. Yesterday the Pat- iiot. enraged oVi<il‘-lilly limi Mujer Bartlett had ignored its =\S‘i1crsioiis. returns to the attack and makes unfounded _f i' ` . . 5 ' ;f`P7'k‘li'0'lS “D011 Mttjoi Bnrtlctts patriotism. We would.

ln which the Patriot is indulging at his expense.

MR. J. J. JOHNSTON BLOWETH

Mr. J. J. Johnston is in very hot water indeed with his

own supporters. Mr. Joliiiston has been proclaiming that ho discovered an error in the nominations at Georgetown that would liuverendered the nomination of Premier Mil- thioson, lion. Murdoch McKinnon, Mr. Aeneas Macdonald and probably others null and void. I-le also boasts that had he not discovered the error there would have been im election in the districts affected.

Now, if his assertion be correct, Mr. Peter McCourt.

his law partner, Mr. Inman, and Mr. Mclnnes want to know why ho did not keep his own counsel for two hours and allow them. and likewise himself, to be declared elected without. opposition? Mr. Peter McCourt and Mr. linnan are said lo be especially wroth and are said to he using "la{igunHo"--and who could blame them under the cir- cumstnnccs?

The fact of tho iiiuticr is Mr. Johnston lacks diplomacy

and wisdom. Ile is particularly fond of talking, and talk-

ing in this instance, lf we are to accept his word for lt, led

electing a new Legislature for the Province. For OWS?

to his political friends being deprived of -unopposed re- turn to the Legislature. " ~ ‘

It would have been a great feather in Mr. Johneton's

politiqal cap had he successfully engineered the defeat ot Prem er Mathieson on a technicality.

But he lost hs golden opportunity. A man who would

make such a blunder, and boast about it, is unfit to re- present any constituency in the Legislative.

PATRIOTS RAGS AND DESPAIR

The Patriot has thrown up the sponge. it recognizes

all is lost and finds relief for its pent~up feelings of rage and disappointment in a. tirade of abuse. Yesterday our lately esteemed Contemporary devoted four columns or thereby to a torrential outpouring of personalities and scurrillty that would do credit to a. raving maniac Of doubtful antecedents.

Poor Patriot! It has our pity though not our syinpatliy-

For three years and more it has been whistling to keep up its courage, and for the last six months liasengiiged in a propaganda of misrepresentation, falsification and abuse of personnel and acts of the Mathieson Government un- equalled in the political history of this or any other country.

And now within a. few hours of the polling it finds it has

been fighting a. forlorn hope, and that its readers have been wiser than their preceptor and have positively re- fused to follow its lead. -

The Patriot, like others before it, has discovered it

may fool the people part of the time but it cannot fool all

the people all thc time; indeed it has only succeeded in fooling itself. - '

The electors of the province have shown during the

past three weeks their marked appreciation of the Mathie- son Government, and the Patriot knows its game is up. ln its rage and despair it finds temporary relief in an in- dulgence of wholesale vituperation.

Our tonderest compassion is extended to our sorely

distressed ami bereft Contemporary; our deepest sympathy is reserved for its unfortunate and dismayed readers. A prolonged rest from political -turmoil and controversy may restore our Conteniporary’s equanimity though not its reason. Its readers will be thankful for this small mercy and will pray that the recording angel may obliterate l`i‘om the book of remembrance all the unkind, uncliaritable, un- chrlstian, uiitrntliful and slanderous things it has said during its period of temporary insanity. We cannot help the reflection, however, that "though this be madness" on

MR. ROGERS AND CONSCRIPTION

An Albertoii correspondent telephoned us last nglit

that Mr. Benjamin Rogers and Mr. Ben Gallant had circu- lated it story that. if returned they would oppose conscrlp- tion. .

This is just such a story as we would expect Mi‘. Ben-

jamin Rogers to put in circulation. All his life he has been opposed to the defence ot' his country, and however much he may try a leopard cniiiiot change his spots. That he should oppose coiiscriptioii is an insinuation that it is the inteiition of the Government to institute conscription rind. with it. all that goes for what Mr. Rogers is pleased to cull "inilitarisni." llc would not only oppose conscrip- tion, lic would oppose volunteering as he has opposed every more ever made for thc improvement of our Prince Ed- ward lsland militia. For ovcr twenty years we have had a "Lieutenant Goveriior's Prize” to shoot for at our annual rifle shoots until Mr. Rogers re- fused, in his second year of office. to put up the money for this prize. Since then we have had no “Goveruor‘s Prize" in Prince Edward Island. And now he pretends to tear coiiscrlptiou! lint Mr. Rogers knows just as well as we do that neither he nor any other one can vote against coiiscription were conscriptiou ever in-cessary in (‘anada. The Militia Act of Canada provides for compulsory service without thc necessity for any vote of the Legislature. We do not believe it will ever be necessary to enforce the compulsory clauses of the Act, but this makes iione-tlie-less culpable and nn- Datrlotic the report circulated at this hour of the nntion's crisis,” that the chosefi leader oi' the Liberal party would use his voice and vote to oppose the necessary measures for the final defence oi' ('anuda's hearths and homes and

the iiitegrity of the Empire.

MR. CI'IANDLER’S WORD CHALLENGED

At almost every meeting he has addressed Mr. (‘|iand-

ler has made two assertions to curry sympathy with aiul support from the electors.

The first wus that the automobile association lind put

$500 into his district to defeat him and that he had tho iiiiormation from three automobilisfs.

When cliallenged by Premier Mathicson at Fort Au-

gustus Mr. (_‘liandler admitted he could not give the names ot’ the Liberal autoinobilists.

Mr. Chandler has also been declaring that he had it

on the authority oi’ “two reputable citizens" that the oats for overseas were "badly daniaged" in the Railway Wharf by rats and mice.

Again cliallenged by the Premier for the names oi’

the “reputable citizens,” Mi'. (Thandler again refused to divulge his niitliority.

A man who would go over the country making serious

charges of this nature and unnblo to givo his authority is unworthy of the suport of any self-respecting elector.

This Mr. Chandler will realize to-morrow.
