THURSDAY. MAR. l2th, 1939 - ?HH CANADIMi STATESMAN, EOWMAKVMJL, ONTARIO PG LIEUT.-COL. AND MRS. H. NEWMANt Sperial visitors from Toron to ALL ARE WELCOME for the affirmative side ini West Ward 1. testified that there was flot a Bible at this poli. She stated that she inquired, and was told by the Deputy Return- ing Officer. YMrs. Madeline Gerry, that there were no forins there, and that she had neyer sworn in a scrutineer. Mrs. Shechan said that about a hall hour after the poil opened Mr. Lyle came in and she was given "a piece of paper to sign". She testified that the agents for the other side also signed as she did, but that no oath was ad- ministered or taken. Oaths Not Administered "The oath of office and the oath of secrecy at the Advance Poil were flot administercd verb- ally. nor were we required to touch or swear on a Bible. We were just given slips of paper and required to sign them," James Firth, agent for the af- firmative at the Advance Pol testified. Following the above testimony Mr. Strika with Mr. Lyle's con- firmation stated ha was prepar- ed to admit ail the allegations regarding the admission of oaths in paragraphs No. 9 to 20 in the affidavit. Mr. Lyle, the Respondent, statad that he had consulted with Judge Miller concerning the Advance Poil, who gave the opinion that one day -would bel enough for it, although the Act calîs for three days. Judge Ken- nedy asked Mr. Lyle to take the stand and make hîs statement so that it could be put in the record as evidence. This Mr. Lyle, did. Questioned On Count An advertisement headed "Liquor and Life in Montreal" was put into evidance by Mr. Ross and markad as Exhibit 2. Mr. Strike askad Capt. Coies to take the stand, and questioned himi en the recount which had bean made by Mr. Lyla, the Re- turning Officer, on the day alter the election. Capt. Coles said that ha as camnpaign manager for the negativa side, and Mr. Hughes as campaign manager for the affirmative sida, ware prasent in Mr. Lyle's office on Novembar 2th for the officiai opening of the ballot boxes. "We warc not in agreement on the totals on two questions from South. Ward lB. Mr. Lyle sug- gestad ha open the ballot box and count the ballots. Both Mr. Hughes and myseif were in areent, and there was no objection to Mr. Lyla doing this. The totals on one sheet had been put wrongly," Captain Colas stat- ed. Not With Intent Capt. Colas was cross-exam- incd by Mr. Ross regarding a dry advertisernant h ea de d "Liquor and Life in Montreai"j which appeared in the local press prior to the vote. This advartisement carried a statement by Cardinal Leger, Roman Catholie Archbishop of Montreai. Asked if he had plac- ed the advertisement in the newspaper ta influence the vrot- ers of Bowmanville Capt. Coles repiied: "'Certainly flot with in- tent to influence the voters in an undue fashion in the exercise of their franchise. Realv to bring their attention to liquor." He complied with Mr. Ross' direction to read the advertise- ment aloud. He admitted that ha knew that "gamiing dens, clubs where debauchary pra- 'ails and cabarets'" would not be allowed to open and multi- ply as the resuit of affirmative votes in the Bowmanvillc liquor election. He agrced ha knew such things are impossible undar the laws o! Ontario. 1 Mr. Ross drcw Capt. Colas' attention to the words "occuit protection" and asked him if he had not thought this would seem to mean that thera would be protection from the authorities for contraventions of laws. "It could be read like that," the dry campaign manager answer- cd. Ha told the court that the axcerpt o! the Cardinai's stata- ment had appeared in the Globe and Mail as an editorial on January Bth, 1958. He suid he' had received it fromn the chair- man of publicitY for the drys, (Gordon Ellott). ,,i put it in wîth the assistance o! people on thc Citizans Com.. mittee," Capt. Colas tastified. Asked what he meant by the words "keap the fires of passion burnmg"9 in the advertisement, Capt. Cales did flot give a de!- inition. Judga Kennedy drcw his attention to thc words "1sul- lied hearts". Asked by Mr'. Ross if he ba- lieved "pornographie sheets would, or could. be aliowed ta circulate ta spraad everywhere the brimstone o! hall" Capt. Colas said. "No." Healaso ra- piied "No" when askad if he thought such indecant literature could ba spread in beverage rooms. Capt. Colas admitted the contention of Mr. Ross that "'The W«ar Cry", the Salvation Armyl periodicai, was the only paper 1 aliowed to circulate in bavarageý rooms.1 "'Yes, there are a number o! Roman Catholics in Bowman-1 ville," Capt. Colas repiad. Mr. Ross suggastad ta Capt. Colas that the advertisemerit consti-1 tutes undua influence becausal the Roman Catholie is an author- itative church, and when its adherents read a statement by Cardinal Lagar, the second high-1 est R.C. officiai in Canada, it would have a great affect on them. "'Yes, it couid hava. Wc in- tendad ta influence the Roman Catholic vote and to stir up other faiths," Capt. Colas tasti- fied. Ha said ha had the ex- cerpt confirmed by thc Ontario Temparance Fedaration. Many Breaches of Act Among the irregularities on Novembar l9th set out in Mr. Hughes' affidavit and admittad by Mr. Strike as counsel for the drys were: breaches o! secrecy, failura to administer oaths ta poli workars, iack o! an election clark, iliagal opcning o! ballot boxes, insufficient elaction sup- plias at the poils, directions for guida-ce o! voters not postad in the vating compartments, fail- ure to seal ballot boxes, prasance o! unauthorized persons in the polis, unauthorizcd people pres- cnt during the count, over- crowding of polis, iniproperly recaived v o t e s, unquali!icd people who votad, and breachas of security.
