SATURDAY. AUGUST 28. 1915-

'ins can Dui-:MMA

On thc plan that desperate diseases necessitate desper-

ate remedies, the sick and sorry Grit candidates held a second conclave in the city yesterday, in order to come to some arrangement for the selection of ii leader and 10 agree upon some platform on which to appeal to the electorate. It is one of the most extraordinary circum- stances in the history of Canadian politics that a part? should.be formed and a policy ad0l>1€d- 31101' the 515’ solution of the Legislature and within three weeks of the election. Up till yesterday there was no recognised Opposition to the Government, no leader whatever, and no policy. Candidates were thrust, or allowed themselves to be thrust, on unwilling constituencies higgilty-plggilty. and then when some thirty nondescripts had been thus get together, they set about selecting a head and devising a common programme as an excuse for seeking the sutirngcs of the electors. The choice as leader fell upon Mr Benjamen Rogers, who, at the age of seventy-eight, when most men should be enjoying a well-earned 110106 far nienre, 'has plunged into the vortex of a. political campaign. Mr Rogers is just as good a choice as could have been made and has just as much chance of “making good ” as any other of the many aspiraiits to political fame who find themselves included in his unwilling following. But what about a programme? This also was discussed in draft, but so far has not seen the light Of ‘lily-` Tile electors rightly will be highly suspicious of any spvacially prepared political manifesto submitted~under such extra- ordinary circumstances. lt cannot possibly be a considered policy and must necessarily partake ol' a "catch-vote" political extravaganza, produced merely for the purpose of effect. A crowd which was originally attracted to the contest merely by “ the rustic of thc hay," and which other- wise had absolutely no reason for existence, may be depended upon to produce something llamboyantly attrac- tive to submit to the country as an inducement to accept the candiilatcs at something more than their face value.

lint wc must, perforce, wait and soc.

ROAD DlS'l`RIC'l`S’ GUN FUND

As will be seen elsewhere in this paper the Road

Districts Machine Gun Fund, previously referred to, has been opened und already there has been a substantial response t`rom thc neighbourhood in which it originated, Rcrl Point, and 'many encouraging letters to Mr Bruce, who intiated the move, from many roadmasters throughout the province.

A magnificent example has been set by the Cavendish

Presbyterian Congregation, who in a few days contributed the very generous sum oi’ $1,160, n thousand dollars of which goes to buy a gun and the remainder to the Patriotic Society. The Cavendisli Congregation, as far as material wealth is concerned, is an ordinary, fairly well off country congregation, oi’ perhaps little, if any, above the average population of country congregations. Measured by its generous gift, however, it towers high above anything yet accomplished by any similar organisation in the province and has given a splendid demonstration of what may be done by ai loyal people under capable and willing! leader- ship, Wo have no doubt that every part of the province is its loyal and patriotic as Cavendish, as sensible of the peril of the Empire, and as anxious to do its bit in bringing the war to ii successful termination. But neither loyalty nor willingness will avail without leadership and co-opera- tion. Cavendish evidently had both as- their splendid gift to the lsland's sons and to the Empire proves.

Many of the roadmasters throughout the province have

already expressed their hearty sympathy with the Road Districts Machine Gun Fund and we have no doubt the others will ulso take an active part in it. In this way the fund is already in the hands of an organisation and we feel assured that therc will be a liberal response. If cncli district does its part even to the extent of halt the Ffiiiponsc given by Red Point, there will he no trouble in raising a fund suilicicnt for several guna. The main thing is to go to work at once. To quote from a recent address given by the wcll-kiiowii author, Ralph Connor: lf you have iillyiiliflil 10 do that you can do, if you have anything to give that you can give, to put in the scale for the Empire, do it within the next fe`w days. This is (isna<la's hour.

'l`wo luontlis after this it muy be too lute, or it may be unnecessary.

GRITS’ COOKED ACCOUNTS

Try as it will the Patriot cannot succeed in convincing

its readers that two and two make five. in every possible and conceivable manner it has tricd to belittle the Govern- ment's surpluses, but without success. Yesterday it attempted to hefog its readers hy submitting the balance- shcct of the Grit Government for 1911, and the balance- sheet for 191-1, and asking them to judge for themselves wlinthcr there possibly could be a surplus or improvement in the finances. The comparison would have been all right and the logic convincing but for ono thing-the Grit balance-sheet, submitted was cooked and unreliable. The Grits, in order to present as good a showing as ossihle

standing liabilities at September 30. When Messrs Ross- horough and Dench, the two independent auditors appointed to examine the accounts and to find out exactly how the finances of tho province stood, found that from 30th Sep- tombcr 1911 until 31st December 1911. when the present Government took charge, the Palmer' Government had received $22,000 and had paid out $106,000, making a ready- made dcticit of $83,000. They found also that there were $85,000 of unpaid accounts, which the present Government had to pay. These should, according to these independent bankers. whose reputations as actuaries are at stake, have been included in the Grit expenditures as at September 30 1911, but were purposely omitted to deiuda and mislead the public. Messrs Rossborough and Dench certified over their signatures that the true liabilities of the provlnes at September 30 1911 were 81,072,595.77. ' That was the starting point of the Matliieson Govern- ment, and after three years, the report of the external

auditor, on this occasion another independent banker, Mr H. W. Bliining, whose reputation also is at stalio, showed

"Passengers by the western train from Summersidc

yesterday morning were ,somewhat mystliied by a long delay at Kensington which seemed to be out of proportion to the apparent activities of this usually busy railway centre. Just as the patience oi' the passengers was about exhausted the shriek_of a locomotive was heard coming from Summerside WHY- P|'95°ll11Y 1-110 1311111118 61151110 pulled in and Mr A. G. Saunders. the Liberal candidate for the Second District of Prince, leaped out and boarded the waiting train; the conductor gave the usual slgiial and the train was off. lt appears that the Liberal candidates had arranged for an ante-mortem consultation at Char- lottetown yesterday and Mr Saunders, who is not an early riser, missed connection at Summerside. Ho tclcgraphod Kensington to hold the train until he arrived in the shunter and the obliging railway officials accommodated him. lt was an ominous occurrence. He will miss con- nection again on the 16th of September and there will he no shunter to get him to the train bound for the Government benches.
