WRST REMEDY CO OFFICIO OF THE SECRETARY OF STATIC 511 December Mackenzie King I a Dear Sir I have your letter of In answer to your various taking in order as put by you I Bpeotfully nay as follows apart from qualifications as military electors are by the law of Ontario entitled voto if they are living off the reservation and not in receipt of treaty rnonicB If living on a reservation whether or not in receipt of treaty moneys they not entitled to If living off and in of treaty moneys they arc not entitled to vote Under the military voters act an Indian who comes within the definition of a military elector as sup plied by that Act may vote at a military poll or if he is a discharged military elector ho may volo under Section Subsection of the Military Voters Act upon compliance with tho terms of that Subsection at a civil poll Whether Indian women aro entitled to vole is de pendent upon the determination as to whether Indian men are entitled to vote demand as to men adopts the provincial qualifications of voters For this reason only Indians qualified under the law of Ontario may vote at the Dominion Elections As to women qualifications must be same as to age race and residence as those of men This provision of Dominion Elections Act is of a general char acter It does not aim particularly at Indian women How ever Indian women arc subject to it like white women Take the case of a woman capable of voting by the Do minion Elections Act but nevertheless required to bo qualified as to age race and residence as if she were a male person This is what the Dominion Elections Act required- The Indian woman as lo ago and residence wo will presume is qualified But as lo race she is an Indian An man who is in receipt of treaty money or is resident on a reservation is not entitled to vote The same Conditions will effect an Indian woman It is not intended that women should be given greater privileges than those accorded to men Understand clearly that what the Dominion Elections Act as amended by the War Time Election Act does is to confer upon certain women relatives of soldiers capacity lo vote they must find their qualifications in the Act as well These qualifications it has been stipulated shall be the same as those of men so far as ago race and residence are con- corned It is very plainly indeed stated at of the official instructions that the enumerators in rural districts of the Province of Ontario have no authority to add the name- any men to the lists for the purposes of provincial elections had been list prepared under the legislation of the Province of Ontario which ruled immediately preceding amendments lo that which the Ontario Legislation made in the Spring of this present year Section paragraph is very specific to the same effect I do not understand how anybody who does pot wish to read Section para graph in a manner otherwise than Parliament intended possibly give to tho wording of that section any other con than that its operation is confined exclusively to the enumeration of voles of female persons Military electors who are within a hospital which is devoted to Iho care of mental troubles are not t because of their presence in such place debarred of their right to vote if at the time they vote they are able to appreciate what are about Anything may be done by the most insane person during a lucid interval Military in such institu tions if they vole at all must like all other military electors apply for votes to the electoral district lo which pursuant to the provisions of Section of the Military Voters Act their voles can in law be applied Those who so to speak be longed lo your Riding will apply their your Riding those who belonged to other Ridings will apply them to the Ridings to which they so belonged prior to Uieir entering into military service Other votes will bo disposed of according to the procedure laid down in the Military Voters Act It would bo rewriting the Act for mo to say anything more here Doubtless you have the Act and can look up procedure yourself Enlistment in the Canadian forces does not make of an American citizen or any other foreign citizen a subject Only British subjects may vote as military electors The definition of a military elector Act makes this plain as day The Dominion Elections Act as amended disqualified all save and except those saved from disqualifica tion by paragraph of Section upon compliance- the of paragraph- Quakers other than those who have asked for ex emption from military service on conscientious Rounds are not Act No person is disqualified by the on ground whole appiicaUusj refused Comments of Exchanges Equity or thirtyeight female rculdents of vill have the right to vole In the corning election by reason of the boys who

must be truly a great hard ship Port Hope Is practically with out potatoes and we learn on good jlhoiUy that fanners in this fiection have tons of potatoes stored away and refuse lo sell Ihern at any

What advantage is there In producing if they refuse to sell the products Every farm has practical ly become a cold storage plant Toronto Saturday night The mismanagement of our man power in connection with the war has been such that nothing that can bo will ever repair damage Muzzling would probably be the most ef fective method of still accom plishing something but of course his will not bo done
