THE MATTER IN A NUTSHELL

Here is section 67 of the

Election Bil: of 1900:

“In the Province of Prince Edward Isl« and if any person desires to vote whose right to vote is ol} -cted to on the ground ot want of quel fication, aud if a candidate orany agent of acandiaate so objecia in

| that place 1 opposite the rote rs cm in thee |poll book; ana such person having taken, if required, the oaths prescribed by this act aud the Jaws of the Province, and hav~ ing otherwise complied with the require- ments Of the law, shall be entitled to res ceive such ballot paper and to vote.”

Sir Louis Davies and the Patriot eay that the words which we have placed in italics destroy the secrecy of the baliot. If so Sir Louis did the job, because the words in question were not copied from any former Act; but were ineerted by the Government inthe original Bill and de- clared On the face of the Bill to be* new matier,”

Here is sub-section 5 of section 96 with Sir Louis Davies’ attempted amend-

“« No candidate,

officer, clerk, agent, or apy otber

~The Summerside Journal says that the contractor for the Summerside break~ llhave toburry up and begin work orelse the Liberals will not get much good out of it at the coming election even Of they do“‘boom” it for all it is worth.”

—Remember that if the present Gov- ernment should be sustained, the extrara- gant expenditures, increased debt, ins creased amounts taksn out of the pockets of the people, the falee promises and broken pledges wili all be endorsed and approved,—and the Government will re. ceive carte blanche to go ahead in the next Parliamentary term a3 they have gone in the last.
