Outlining the policy of the' Republican _ _ , I

remain to support him? The Winnipeg

tion :

will stab their cotuitry.

'l`lie extent of this lialf-.~eci'et, sliadowy. uncle-

liiied :i_t;'gre;_{atioii of aiiti-war electors, is kiiown to nobody, but those who plot the destruction ol' the lfnion (]ovei'iiiiieiit know that it is lar;_{er than niost L'nioiiists think, and they hope that it will be foi‘ini`<lal>le euotigli to be of great service to

tlieni in eiirryiiig out their plans.

gories are. of coiirse, hopelessly lost to the Lfnion- ist cause. 'l`lie_v :ire impervious to arguineiit or appeal. ln niany cases they will caret`iilly disgiiise their real views. Some of tlieiii will profess Ifniouist seiitiiiieuts.

'l`lie larger tlie traitor vote in Caiiaila the better the

tliaiices for the anti-uiiionists. '

As The Free Press-says, these sections

of the community cannot hope of themsel- ves to place the Union Government in Jeo- pardy. If they succeed in their attempt to take Canada out of the war it will be with the assistanceof besotted partisans who think more of their party than of their country, who prefer the success of their party to the welfare of their defenders overseas, and who would blindly sacrifice the Canadian soldiers on the firing line ra- ther than break with their political idols. Many of the Liberals included in this cate- gory are very restless over their position. They do not like their shady' associations.

Many of them are gradually drifting

from the Laurier camp towards the Union Government. But the exodus must be lar- ger to assure a complete and overwhelm- ing victory as will keep Canada decisively in the war. The campaign now being con- ducted by Sir Robert Borden and his col- leagues will do much to augment the Unionist ranks. But there must be no ces- sation of effort until the election is over. The -best and strongest men in the coun- try are included in the Coalition Cabinet, and they _are backed by all the worthiest elempnts in both of the old parties. It is withinthe power of such a strong combi- nation to sweep the country,'outside of Quebec, from Prince Edward Island to Vancouver, and thus to put the Dominion definitelyjaud finally on the side of right and Justice.

A _ 'I‘H_E BIG INTERESTS

The Winnipeg Free Press says: “Hon.

Mackenzie King, a salaried employe of John D. Rockefeller, is the Laurier-Liberal can- didate in North York. Now, if he were a candidate for _the Union ,Government what a roar would Lgo .up to. the heavens about the interference of big interests in Domi- nion politics.”

need no coalition (ioveruineiit to intike its

I loyal. \\'e will iiialve coalition ourselves

¢ . with e\‘er_\' I)eiiiocrat in this country." i Contrast this lofty spirit of patriotism with the petty partizanship, the pitiable, carping criticism and the campaign of vili- fication and inuendo which have character- lized the attitude of Laurierites toward the Union' Government. In the United States the leaders of the great Republican party _drop all thought of political capital in the face of a common foe. In Canada, where, because of the noble sacrifices of our soldi- ers, thespirit of unity and co-operatic", should be uppermost, Lauricrites are stead- i ily engaged with a craft that is admirable for its cunning to destroy the Government |of the day. To what end? ii

politicians have dropped all thought of pil- itics.- Mr. Asquith, who now sits on the front Opposition bench, steadily avoids criticism that is outside the pale of con- 'structive thought. He might have played politics over the Home Rule situation: but- he refused. He might have destroyed t‘ if, Lloyd George Ministry over the Paris 'speech situation; but he disdained the op- portunitq. Speaking the other day to an_ audience of the British Liberals he told

them that this was not the time to think ot' party, that the program of British Liberal-| ism mtist be set aside in face of the vasteri issues of the war.

Only in Canada, apparently, are we ci.i"s- `

cd with those who are unable to forget par-3 ty politics, and who, for selfishness, will magnify petty dif'f`ei‘ences in order to keep, alive partizanship, strife and all uncharit-' ablencss.

A secret service man of wide experien-

ce, who has investigated campaign funds in previous elections, for the purpose of I tracing corrupt practices, says that the Canadian people should be on their guard' against German money in the present con- test. In a letter in the Toronto News which we reproduce elsewhere, he points out that the Laurier party is deprived of its usual sources of financial aid and that the Ger- man agents who provided a corruption fund in the United States may have trans- ferred their operations to _ this country. This correspondent suggests that the Unionist party should appoint vigilant committees to guard the constituencies, and especially the close constituencies, against the machinations of the Kaiser’sl emissaries. The suggestion is even made that Mr. Rathom, the The Providence Journal, might come over and help us to meet this menace.

Women friendly to the cause of Union

should take steps to see that all women en- titled to vote are registered and made ac- quainted with the importance of the issue.

Anticipating some difficulty in getting

out .the women vote in the coming elec- tions, the Toronto Globe, Liberal, says editorially: “Let every Unionist speaker put the matter plainly and simply. before the women electors. A vote for the Unionl candidate, is'a vote to back up the men who are fighting our battles in France by providing adequate reinforcements at once.

The Patriot has no apology for praising

the commendation of Sir Wilfrid Laurier by th_e notoriously pro-German New York Evening Post. It says according to a newspaper directory the New York Even- ing Post is listed asan “Independent Am- erican paper.” That may be-our contem- porary is not so innocent, however, as to expect the publish-er to describe it as “pro- German”! But the Patriot forgets to tell its readers that this sp-called independent American newspaper is published by Emil M. Scholzp and that the President of the Company is German born of German pa- rents who became naturalized Americans." The Patriot and Sir Wilfrid are welcome to such “Independent American” support.

But, so far are we from stztndliig alone that nearly cvcry leading l.iberal paper in Canada. 's ranged by our side.

In my professional career in Can-

ada. during tho progress of v8i‘i0\\S oloctlon eanipulgiis. lt. has been my privilege, proiessioiially, to get in touch with the source, ot’ polltlcal eainpulgii tunils, trace those funds from tho orii;lnal subscribers to :the lloininion campaign orgaiiliiatioii. tlicnee to the l’rovlneial orgaiilzatioii, from tlicro trace tho district or wnrtl coininittecs. then to tho “wuril liecler‘ and by hliii to be distributed aiiionI»ZS£ tho purcliiisablc voters.

I should be very wcll qualified to size up a situation In

i-cgaiwl to election 1'iin'ds. _ _

Now Sir, in i°egur(| to this “Quit the

It is snlil to be a large one, and that fnct is unite apparent from their present expenditures. lt is said to be ot` extraordiiiary size. ’l`lic_v tire on financial “easy street". so that you may rightly ask “V\‘lio pays. Wlho pays, Who pu_vs.".oi~ where duets thc money come t'rom'.’ lt is up to true Caiintliaiis t.o finrl out just where this

money docs come t'roii\.

` Old polltitzal and Iiiiaiieial fricntls have descrtcil the l.iliei'al party as now coiistitiitcil undei' thc l;uurici'- llouiussii lcadersliip. some of whom were liberal siibseribers to thc olil Liberiil, party eiiinpiiigu l`iiiul.

So the sainc old question arises “whore does the inoiic,v como t`roiii," who is paying the

price?

lt liasvbeen conclusively prove-ii

that German agents paid out large sums of Gcriniin gold Iii the United States for propaganda work amongst linltoil Status citizens and Pvliticlans. That being ri faet. how uiucli more eager niust Gerin'in_v be to spend her_ Kohl in t`-aliada wlic~ii she knows if the l.iiui'ier-Bout'-iissa party won tlils clue- tlon. our briive Canadian soldiers would thus receive ii fatal stab in fthe' back that would wltlidruw them fronil the firing line ln Flanders by the pro-` cess of casiialtles. Anyone who can read betwcoii the llncs can see plulu- ly what the election ol' the "Quit the war party" would moan to the Kais-

In seven out of twelve M. berta seats splits ln the opposition lild fair to give Union an easy victory. The expectation is that not even Hon. Frank Oliver wlll be able to carry Edmonton west now that a strong Liberal, L. H. Pack, is splitting the Laurier voto with -him.
