lmiOHTKR WITH Pointed all FRIDAY JULY Going Back on Their The of Premier to declare by legislation what wbb the intention of the Government and in passing the On tario Election Act has given occasion the Opposition organ at Toronto to go into the lamentation on a large scale It has also upset the calculations of the Opposition Loader in the Assembly who antici pating a snap verdict on a techni cality of law looked forward to another fighting chance for power as a result of byeelections True the electorate in their vote of the entire Province gave a majority of about in favor of the Government hut this is not regarded as of any account by their opponents it is office and power they are after whether the people will it so or otherwise With reforenco to present pro position of Hon Mr Hardy respecting the right of constables to vote at elec tions to the Legislature the Mail to remark Let be no raialake upon ques tion of expost facto legislation validating illegal votes and seating memberB who would otherwise fa outside of Parliament John agreed to a statute declaring that deputy returning officers poll clerka and constables might vote for the Ottawa House in future lie also agreed to a retroactive provision protecting such officers who had voted in the past honestly believing that they might vote from penalties for their illegal action But he never proposed consented to legisla tion forestalling the judgement of the and giving to his supporters in to which but for such latiot they could lay no claim What is the use of the and other Opposition journals trying to deceive- their readers and belie the record of their dead leader Sir John did propose and the par- liament did sanction expost facto under almost parallel circumstances John asked parli ament to declare what was its inten tion in respect to returning when passing an Election Law and Hon Mr Hardy proposes ask the Legislature to what was Us intention respecting the status of constables in this regard Hero is the of the Act passed by a Con servative House under the leadership of John A proving what we have above stated It will ho found on page of the Dominion of and is in direct to the expost facto argument of Mr Whitney Toronto organ although containing a distinct declaration that prior to its pas3ae returning officers had no right to vote c Nothing contained disqualify or make deputy returning offi cer poll clerks or constables whether ap pointed by the returning officer or a deputy returning officer employed in connects with election incompetent to vote at the said election and is hereby declared that when otherwise qualified to vote they and bun entitled to vote at the election of a member for the House of of Canada It quite evident Conservatives are going back on their past record There can be no question about foregoing being expost facto legisla tion The Whitnoy party approved of it at tho legislation then enacted Bayed tho Government from being- overthrown on a technicality and the constables who votod at the late Provincial Assembly have quite much riht to tho fran chise and withmoro freedom from the charge of bribery And corruption than returning officers The Hamil ton Indopondont takes a pretty correct of tho situation in the following paragraph r I It win hoped to oust Hardy eminent by a which closely I resembles trickery although it may bo party politics For many years 1 right of election constable to vote has not been questioned Nobody thought of questioning right under law until Hardy Government got Into a tight with a very majority between it and defeat Nobody far wo are aware nays that should not bo allowed to vole All that is claimed in that the law may bo Interpreted to I mean that they not right that boon allowed to volu for without protest proves that their moral right to do has boon generally recognized Now Tory polilioiana question the right of constables to vote Why Not should not but because law is ambiguous on Tory politicians want matter to go courts Why because that courts will decide against constables Upon the decision of the Judges will hang of the Hardy Government Eight Grit members of tho present were returned by majorities so small thai cancellation of tho constables votes would be likely to result in scats of Grit members given to their opponents That would moko a difference of sixteen votes in a division and would mean tho downfall of the Government It v as tt great The objection to the constables voto was clevor pioco of party strategy on tho part of tho Tories But ii just tho same No question of principlo whs involved It hoped to overturn on a legal technicality It was a a sharp lawyer might conceived to a snap for his cliont In referring to Hon Mr Hardys purpose respecting legislation to remove doubts as to right of constables to vole the Mail sarcasti cally observed The attention of Mr Hardy is directed to tho fact several of his Bupporiora proceeded Hgatnat on ground of corruption They will ho unseated if the courts that bribery is illegal Why not suspend the Corrupt Practises Act which endangers the seats of these purists Our cotemporary very cunningly trios to draw a herring across the scent in the above quotation Hon Mr Hardy does not propose to inter fere with jurisdiction of courts in regard to distinct violations of the clear intent of Legislature hence ho does not to suspend tho Corrupt Practices Act but where trickery has placed it in the power of corrupt men to do a groat wrong to the Province Mr Hardy does propose averting that evil by affirming what was understood to be a clear intention of the Assembly respecting the rights constables It in intimated in wellinformed political circles that Hon Mr will again bo Government nominee for chair
