There are two explanations of Sir Lomer G0uin’s q sweeping victory at the polls in Quebec. The first is e Sir Lomer’s great personal popularity and influence; th the second the racial issue. Sir Lonier is one of the in greatest premiers Quebec has produced- and though n practically an autocrat, lie has administered the ahfairs p of the province, on the whole, to the entire satisfaction n of thc people, commercial and agricultural. Ile is a to moderate man, so moderate in Dominion politics that tl' there was talk at one time of his entering the Borden at Govcrnnient. Few, if any of the English Conservative pa newspapers in Montreal opposed Sir Lomer, and this cr may be taken as proof that they were quite satisfied th with the manner in which he has in him and asked: "\\'hy should my opponents use sentiment to at- [` tack ine? \\`hy should it be thought that it is in our f interest to continually fight _these questions in the pro- O viiice of Quebec, and because the fire is elsewhere that _- we should set it here? They are doing more evil with \ these qiicstioiis than has been done for 25 years past. \ I)o you want a civil war in the country." ri Again, on another occasion, referring to this vote, 3 he said: _ “If I had ten votes to give, I would have done the W same as I did on that occasion. If I fall by the wayside It it will be a great souvenir for me at least, for I voted 1) according to what I believc.l :arid still believe to have u been right.” Another question which played a leading part in b election was the conscription bogcy. for allit was worth by the Liberal Nationalists. Nr. r Tancréde Marcil and Mr. Armand Laverguc made a to vigorous.campaign along these lilies. “I ani a Liberal t but a Nationalist at the same time on the question of v compulsory enlistment or enlistment forced through o f'n'nine,” declared Mr Marcil and ‘ ‘ - ' PP any attempt to force Imperialism on Canada. C This. then. is the explanation of the Liberal sweep c of Quebec. Sir Loiner Gouin lent no assistance by o word or deed to the extremists, and while he personal- t ly attracted to his support the moderate element who_ st the past evcrciscd This was worked _ = ” "’ . “`§r¢_§§¢f§5¢4 is strong enough to keep his Stip- B 'porters in the House within bounds, the extremists iade the most they possibly could of the racial and; conscription cries to defeat the Conservatives iii almost very constituency.
