The Laurier Governmenticy. Crooks should be punished. Men who steal votes should not be gnawed in the public service, which should be free from lightrfingered gentry of all kinds. TIME FOR A CHANGE. It is time for a change in this as in other lines of Governmental policy. Mr. R. L. Borden and the Conservative party are pledged to right this matter. . Col. Hughes stands as the exponent and champion of pure elections and the right of f_ree me_n to vote as their conscience dictates. ,J _-‘!A_'--I __‘__13‘_ I_- w Zacheus‘ Hall, a postmaster at Annapolic, was found ilt of bri ' voters.

And still others! ‘ are already hominion employees, and if they are not already employed under the Laurier Government, they stand a long chance d being engaged if their crooked services have helped the party. ' THE CASE OF JACKSON. J. B. Jackson, an Ingersoll lawyer, was in a conspiracy to unseat a Con- servative member, and it was proved that he ofiered one man 82,000 for “evidence, true or false.” He paid 810 to one man, $250 to another, and so on, the money being used to subornperjury. Mr. Justice Street severely reprimanded Jackson for his conduct, and with this tribute to his character still in public mind, Jackson was appointed to the position of Commercial Agent at Leeds and Hull, Englandâ€"at a salary of $3,000 per year. W. T. R. PRESTON. Mr. Preston needs no introduction. He was the hero of the Ontario cam. paign machine which made an unenviable name for him and others by its West Elgin, Brockville and Huron performances. While Preston was “wanted” at Toronto to give evidence in the London conspiracy case, he wasgiveu a fat job in Japan at a very pleasant salary. AND THERE ARE OTHERS. Mr. R. E. A. Leach of “thin red line" fame in Manitoba was shortly after the election, in which he secured the cutting off the lists of over 9,000 votes (mostly Conservative of course), appointed Inspector of Domin- ion Land Agencies at $2,000 per year. A élslriceiat the records shows how election crooks instead of being pun- ished for their nefarious work are retained in the publie service if_they_ . Col. Hughes takes the emphatic stand that a man who steals a vote or enters into a conspiracy to steal votes, or otherwise deprives a free people of the power to express their opinion at the ballot-box,â€"that such a man is just as much a thief, and just as mean a thief, as the man who steals property or engages in highway robbery. THE RIGHT OF A FREE PEOPLE. The right to an opinion; the right to an honest vote; the right to a_free expression of opinion and desire in matters political ;â€"these are rights for which free British subjects in the past have labored and struggled. These are rights to which all Canadians are to-day entitled. . The man who would steal these rights or take away the privilege of an honest vote from a free peOple is neither more nor less than a thief, and his crime strikes at the foundation of responsible government. ELECTION CROOKS SHOULD BE PUNlSHED. The election crook, then, surely should be punished. If he happens to hold a position under the government in power, his position should be taken away from him as soon as his crime is known. Surely this is a fair thing to ask under the circumstances. -. THE LAURIER GOVERNMENT METHOD. Yet what do we find to be the Laurier Government method of dealing with election crooks? ' Demands That Criminals and Election Crooks be Not Retained in the Public Service 001. Sam. Hughes has always tel: en, and will ever take, in the House of Commons, and out of it, a most decided stand on the employment of election crooks and criminals in the public service.
