The then leader of not only gave his concurrence, on be hali of himself and his party, but he congratulated the government adopting such an aggressive claiming that it was in harmony with conservative principles. Now, in forgetiulness of all this, it is charged 'that the government is giving away the people's property se- uretly.

"Mr. McPherson has failed to prove his charges even against the organiz- ers. The most he could do was to show that the evidence places them under a clond of suspicion. And in his main attempt Mr. McPherson failed altogether, There is not a jot of evi dence to connect any member of the Ross. government with the ele toral In the lack of such eviden'e, the government as a whole and its members individually must be absulv- ed from blame.
