in the political camiiaien now bems S0
vigorously carried on throughout the p!‘0-
vince many issues have been raised, H}2}U_y
red herrings drawn across the trail._ _f_hiS
is the- scheme of the wily ,politician
to confuse the electors, to divert attention
from the main, the only issue. There is
only one issue toda_v before the electors of
Canada, that is whether We Hl`_0 g01}1g lf’
stayin the war or sneak out of it.` _We _are
nowface to face with decision on this point.
" mu ome. n enmmmwii. umm- om" ¢¢ sum menace of Laurierism in this”campai_gn_
mi-.ian A\b°'*°"' °"""° “”“ "°"*'l“°- , Laurierism stands for Canada qllltlll-'1_§
-this war, and, because it stands for that, it
has the"support of -every“racialist in the
Province of Quebec, of every pro-German
in Ontario, of enemy aliens in the West,
and of every Poltrofm Secretly Or Semshjykiariiestly concerned about this mat-
slack or recreant or hostile to our cause in
this conflict. - _
every effort and stop at no sacrifice to ach-
ieve victory for Union. The forces of re-
action and moral surrender are well or,-
,ganized and powerful; they have money,
‘machine politicians, and the advantage of
carrying appeal to the discontented, the
disgruntled and all the other fortuitous
voters \vho either ignorantly or selfishly
It is useless, as well us wasteful of time and tape susceptible to unworthy innuencw
energy, to wrangle over the virtues or the
'vices of- former political parties. 'ine for-
mer political parties are now non--éxist-
If Union is to triumph against these forc-
es, its supporters must toil without ceas-
ing. Pious professions and support not
cnt. There is no Liberal Conser_\'ative par-
ty, no Liberal pai'ty. Instead of the foi'iiiei‘,
we have a Unionist party made up of form-Ii
er Liberals and Conservatives. Insteadi
of the Liberal party we have the Lauriei'-'
iles, made up of those Liberals and Con -
scrvatives who profess to approve of the
war policy of Sir Wilfrid l.atiriei', and it,
does not include one of Laurier’s former;
lieutenaiits or leaders. ~ No other issuesl
were considered when thc former parties
broke up; no question of finan_ce_or trade'
or immigration, or railway building' or oi
methods of government arose. There was |
one question only, namely, how Canada was|
to carry out hei‘ promise to the Motherland
and to her Allies, to herself and her army,
and on this question alone the parties div-
ided. Sir Robert Borden, as the leader ol
the Union Govei'nment enunciated the po-
licy of the govemnient on this question._'
The Military Service Act with its principle!
of selective conscription, is the main plank
in that policy; Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as lead-
ei° of the Laui'iei'ites, enunciated the policy
of his party.‘ In that policy the main plank
is to”proceed no further under the present
Military Service Act but, instead, to have
a referendum and if the referendum should
decide that the Military Service Act is un-
desirable then to give it up for he has giv-
en no other alternative.
These are the two policies and the people
are asked to choose one or the other. Those
who are content to throw the country
into the turmoil of another general elec-
tion on the Laurier 1'eferei_idum and to,
await its result for a year or longer; to'
send no more help to the army if Quebec
and the enemy aliens and slackers so de-
cide, will vote for the Laurier candidates.
Those who want to see the Military Service
Act carried out and carried out immediate-
lv will vote for the Union Government.
O
'I`Ill‘I 'l~`.\Rl\IIiR'S SON
The complaint that ,contrary to the un-
dertaking given by the Premier that con -
scription would not take men from the
farms into the army, the tribunals have
been refusing exemption to farmers’ sons
is effectively answered by General Mew-
burn, Minister of Militia. Many of. of the
tribunals have erred in the cases of appli-
cation from sons of farmers. Probably they
preferred to be on the safe side, knowing
that any errors they might make in this
connection would be rectified either
through appeals or through Government
action. It was not always easy for them
to determine whether or not a claim on the
ground that the applicant was engaged in
agriculture was bona fide.
, General Mewburn now states emphati-
cally that any farmer’s son who is engaged
in the production of food on the farm and
who is drafted into the army will be dis -
charged from the forces if he will go back
to work on the farm.
The Premier was sincere in his promise
that agriculture would not be handicapped
by conscription. The Government is going
to see that the promise is fulfilled. `

As the campaign progresses, the pro -
cesses of simplification go on; doubts are "
cleared up:.issues, which have been blur-
red in the fog of over-heated rhetoric, be-
come clear.
A few days ago the people of Canada
learned beyond all ouestion where Henri
Bourassa and the Nationalists of Quebec
stand in relation to the issue between Uni-
on Government and Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
On Saturday night the Prussian tactics
of a Kitchener mob in howling' down Sir
Robert Borden made unmistakeably clear
the attitude of pro-Germans.
Let the loyal, British people of Canada
pause and askthemselves why it is that
Sir Wilfrid _Lguner has the support ofthe

the Germans ol? Kitchener, Ont., and by
ilaurierites in Montreal; when we read that
it a recent meeting in Quebec a Laurierite
deliberately walked up to the platform
with a rope in his hand and attempted to
lynch a speaker who dared to advocate
Union Government; when we hear and read

“I recollect attending one meeting in the
tvinter of 1916 with my friend Captain Jo-
'ieph Read. We did not get a single recruit
though I have reason to believe there were
several young men in that district who
vere eligible for enlistment. We were
even severely bei'ated by the Chairman of
the meeting for presuming to go to an ag-
ricultural district like that to entice young
'nen away from the farms though he him-
self had then two sons at home, one of
vhoin could well be spared. Captain Read
'vas certainly not opposed to Conscription
that night, whatever may be his views

“The woman who votes in this contest
votes by the right of her sacrifice. She
finds her right in the morning call of our
regiments; _she sees it on the honor roll of
our churches; she traces her title overseas
to the trench where her son defends her,
to the grave where her husband sleeps. I
say to the enfranchised women of this pro-
vince: This Union Government is formed
for the primary purpose of making sure
that those sons and husbands are at all
hazards and at any sacrifice, supported by
the nation at home. Let the first women’s
vote in Canada be a vote for Union, for
Honor, for Fidelity, for Real and Victorious
War.”--Hon. Arthur Meighen.

From the Morning Jou)rnal-Press.
Kitchener on Saturday nllhl
provided the answer to the D05!-
'ed question: “How wvuld U19
Kaiser vote?" .
' I-f there ever was any doubt
. as to the true nature oi' some of
the elements that are supporting
the Laurier-Bourassa campaign
against the Union Win-the-War
Government, lt surely has been
dlspe-lled ‘hy the treatment nc-
corded Canada's Prime Minister
ln Kitchener.
Kitchener. formerly Berlin. is
largely populated b_\' Germans' or
people of German descent. lt
ls the centre- of Waterloo (‘oun-
ty. the population of which is
chiefly made up ol’ Germans. In
Kitchener, German ls to a con-
siderable extent the language of
communication.
The English-Canadian citizens
of Kitchener liuve- frequently
complained ot' the dlsloyal ,talk
and actions of many of their
German fellow citizens, and re-
cently, followlng the Italian re-
verse, eneniy synipxfthizers in
that city ha-ve, lt is stated, been
getting very hold.
