” you knew. I bevel been nominated to contest Fourth Prince for the O. C. l'.. and in spite of the short notice of the eleetionlplahtopushtheeamllilllltothellmltefmyrtrength and ability. '

. one of the reasons I an iering the political field is be- cause of my interest in clean politics. For a long time now. all or us have been much concerned over the shady practices that weellhnowgoonateleetion time. 'l'he.useofrnoney and uguer has become all too prevalent in corrupting voters and am: preventing a free expression of opinion. The money used go; this purpose must come from somewhere. We know, of mu-gg, that it comes from corporations seeking special favors of the government they thus help to elect. Thil 081111. is con- uu-ytoiheepirltefi .andM i 'tll!I ofenebmene7ean'tbafreetocarryoutthewisbeeofthe electorate. They are tied by pledges made by the party to these big contributors.

I believe. Gentlemen. that you are as interested as I am In geelng that electoral corruption is banished from our Island. 1 .3 giving a pledge to the electors of Fourth Prince that I will not use money or liquor to bribe voters at election time, Noll WILL MY PARTY WORKERS D0 1'! IN MY BEHALF.

In the interest of good government and in accordance with cumin: principles In which we all believe, I ask that V0155 tee, give this pledge to the voters of Fourth Prince. Let's have I clean campaign in which the voters are not bribed in any way. Let's put an end once and (or all to election corruption in Pourth Prince at least!

I am sending a copy of this for publication in "The Guyana.” and your reply thre E the columns of that paper would be greatly appreciated.

POLITICAL FORUM I

(continued from page 5)

mg one a Communist who is not a Communist. we are playing right into the hands of Communists." When the C. C. F. comes to pow- er. as it did in Saskatchewan. and gives the people good, clean pel- xtles and progressive governments. simple folk will say: "If this be Conununinn. give us more." What more will they say? Only this: "After all Russia can't be so bad." Do you not see the danger of calling good evil and evil good?

If I go to a farmer to buy I horse. and he shows me the horse he has for sale. and I say to him: 'That's not a horse. that's a donkey." he would probably think I was cuckoo. And if I insisted that his horse was a donkey and asked him to prove to me that he was not a donkey. he would be sure that I was cuckoo. But if he should answer. he would prob- ably say: "He does not look like ll donkey and he does not ct hire a donkey." And if I still nslstcd that the horse was a donkey, he would most likely conclude that his horse was still a horse and that I was the donkey.

”But, if the C. C. F. is not Communism." they shout. "it. will lead to Cornlmunrism." You may as well tell me that'our old red rooster will lay an egg next Monday. I'm dogmatlcally sure that he won't.

"But the C. C. P. will become corrupt In time too." they say. Maybe. Political parties are not well known by the frequency by which they seek divine uidance. But l.sn't there I bit of comic irony here - that those of us who during a lifetime in the pol- iiical arena. have been content to tolerate devils sh3uld now de- mand saints. If the C. C. F. move- ment should at some distant date, compromise its political integrity, posterity may with less reluct- ance. forgive those w-ho sponsor and support it, rather than those who so love to talk of democratic freedom, but long continue to ' ' t economic tyranny. who perpeiuaie themselves in office and prostitute their talents by a lifetime of political partisanship. Could truth be so wayward or flattery so slbsurd as to describe such men as siatesmen?

If anyone wishes to know why the "younger element" ere turn- ing to the C. C. F. let thorn read Mr. H. K. S. l'lemlming's letter of July 11, 1944-written shortly after the C. C. F. victory in Sask- atchewan and printed in your Forum. I quote in part:

"Since the Saskatchewan elect- ion I have been looking for an expression of opinion from the Liberal and Conservative news- papers of Canada regarding the real cause for the present change of pulblic feeling and it seems to me that they have purposely evaded the problem. During re- cent years I have discussed in Ontario. Quebec and Prince Ed- ward Island the political future of Canada. principally with the younger element of electors. and I have found a very widespread condemnation of the manner in which the Conservative and Lib- eral psrty machines have for the last forty or fifty years controlled our whole political system. No longer have we government by the people or for the people but rather by inriensely selfish part- isan machines. From start to finish at nomination. soliciting of votes, electioneering, forming the csbinets, and clandestine caucus meetings, we are under the rule of political methods that are en- tirely wrong and unworthy of an honest na-lion. Particularly is this evident in the universal adoption by our Federal and Pro- vincial Governments of the un- snowy, ... L1 .111. A spoils system, which "system has not a single redeeming feature to its credit. Not only does it cause s great waste of time on the part of our elected representatives but it provokes dishonesty by the electors and causes a wideqread distrust of politicians, generally. It also prevents many of the bet- ter element from allowing their name; to be placed before the electorate. -

"I believe that the above ruth- er than socialism harvelbeen the causes of the marked turnover in Saskatchewan. and further that If the dangerous C. C. F. principles are to be combatied successfully, our old-time parties must get to- gethor and clean. out the Augean stables."

But those C. C. P. principles have not proven so dangerous when put into action. Merc- over, the old-time parties have no intention of cleaning the Augean stables. The C. C. 1'. on P. E. I. has challenged them on this score - through the prom and over the air. Now we intend to do the id). The C. C. I. shall be our "Hercules," and we mean business. Too long have bribery and mrnlption been the twin ob- stetricians aitendling the birth or! old perky governments. '

The primary purpose and the ultimate and of the C. C. 1'. is not the acquisition of power. Our primary purpose I good govvrn- ment. But we have dsepaired of

it under a faulty economic

system and a corrupt political

system

THE GUARDIAN. WN

The C. C. 1'. is doing more than any other party to keep Com- muninn away. Communism. simply stated is the denial of the prin- ciples of Christianity and dem- ocracy. It therefore follows that they who deny the principled of Christianity and democracy are not fighting Communiun but helping it.

when Christianity is forgotten Communism will flourish. .And if that vile. corrupt. despotic. tyran- nical and didsoilcal system, with all its brute force and all its iri- umpb; when our churches are burned to the ground. our clergy murdered or imprisoned, our schools run by pagans. and the buying and selling of votes and political patronage and graft are only sickening memories, then. on our tmnbstones and the tomb- stones of our statesman may be written this will-ph: "They pm- fessed Christin-nity, but would not practice it."

Addresses Ari Society Ilere V

A large number of members of the Charlottetown Art Society and their friends were privileged last evening to hear an interesting ad- dress on "Art as the Barometer of Civilization." by Mrs. Dudley 11. Blakely. of Greenaore Bah'al School, Elliott, Maine.

The address was given in the Harris Memorial Art Gallery and Mrs. Biakely proved to be a very, fluent and exceptionally ell in- formed speaker. Included in her subiect were forms of expression such as science, music, speech and painting, all or which Mrs. Blakely said must be the product of hum- ility to achieve greatneu. '

Speaking on the art of painting, she stated that modemista were searching for a new beginning, and constantly delved into the primitive art of all countries, which belied their cry of "Don't copy." Abstract was merely a struggle for a new technique. and was certainly not a product of the spirit from which all art must come.

Grouping all the arts together, she said that the thread of civiliz- ation is passed on through the medium of art, from one era to the next.

Mrs. Biakely is on a seven weeks tour of the Maritlmes, and has toured Canada with English dram- atic organizations. Her husband is director of exhibits of the New Boston Museum of science. and for eight years was with the American Museum of Natural History, New York, as background artist. He was also head of the exhibition depart- ment et Cranbrooke Institute of Science, Michigan. Mrs. Blakely is a native of England. and travelled in Scandinavia, France, and Russia during the revolutionary days of 1917. she has also travelled in the west Indies, South America. and

Mrs. P. A. creelman, President of the Art society. was chairman for the evening and introduced the speaker. Thanks for the very edu- cstionsl and informative address was expressed to Mrs. Blakely by Mr. J. E. Harrisnsnd Mr. Vic Euntz.
