The ll¢0|,lle of Canada are entitled
to warning against an amazingly aud-
1¢‘l0US game of deception being play-
ed by the Llberal~l\'ationalist forces
in the Province of Quebec.
There is reason to believe. arid. in
due time the truth will be forthcom-
Entl. that a secret alliance exists bc-
tween Henri Bourassa and the Liber-
3| D3l'i.\‘ leaders to secure the return
uf Sir Wilfrid Laurier to office and the
restoration of Queyac .\lation'allst in-
fluence in`Ottawa.
'iii order to make this alliance as
effective as possible. and at the same
time to conceal its existence and aim
from the public. there is being prac-
tised a clever and dangerous game.
This game take-s the form of attacks
on Sir Wilfrid Laurier b_v Henri Bou-
rassa in the Province of Quebec to
aid Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the Prov-
ince of Ontario.
There can be no doubt that there is
a Bourassa-Laurier alliance. Mr.
Bourassa has pledged himself to ren-
der the most effective indirect aid
within his power to return Sir Wil-_
frid to office. '
Wliere is Sir Wiit`i'id Laurier most
in need of aid?
IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
How can Henri Bourassa assist
Laurier in Ontario? _
B3' make-believe abuse of Laurier'
in Quebec as an lin;ier'ii\li.st and- a
frierid nf England.

Laurier' as an "liiip»-rialist" in QW"
bee. the 'l`ot'outo Giolin cites' the "at-
tack" as a reason why Latirier should
be eh-ctetl in Ontario.
It is thc Qld, nlil _\iit-liaewlliali
';art14~. played h_v Latrrier for forty
)'t~ar.s‘_ ri-strrr'ectt~d in a new and more
uiisuspei'ting role.
For example, llourassa "attacked"
Laurier on Sundav as being too Eug-
lish and too lmperialistlo On Mon-
day the Globe carried a column lone
editorial calling upon Ontario to
support Laurier because Bourassa as-
miled him.
Yet on the very day that Bouras8a
was making his fake attack on Lauri-
er. Bourassa's chief lieutenant, Ar-
mand Lavergne, was speaking in sup-
port of and from the same plaiform
with Roch Lanciot, one of the leading
Quebec Liberals in'Parl5ament and a
ntirticular friénd and confidant of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier.
Mr. Roch Larietot is the Quebec
Liberal who spoke against the War
"fredii vote in Parliament last ses-
sion, He is the man who inspired the

Laurier fathered. lli.s' close associa-

of the two parties was publicly an-
nounced. The price of Nationalist
support of the Liberals in that elcc~
tion was Liberal Support of the Bilin-
gual reeoiution at Ottawa. Sir Wil-
rfid Laurier paid the price-was will-
ing ta pay it at the cost of his own
leaderihip-and out of the concuben-
age of the, two parties there has
emerged the present Laurier-Bourassa

Sir Wilfrid Laurier was not ati itu-

He was not an imperialist when lif-
endorsed and condoned the rebellion
of Louis Riel.
He was not an Iniperiaiist wlieii he
