Attention has been called | n to the fact that as long ago as March, 1898, Mr. Rogers, who then represent. | # od Frontenac in the commons, in a speech of considerable length, held that a qualification of some kind should be necessary in the voter, but as there was practically manhood suf- frage the next step should he com pulsory voting. "In my opinion," said Mr. Rogers, "the poor man is not the easiest to bribe, but I do believe that one of the best preventives against the cause of bribery would be to compel men to | tc register their votes. I would not im- | co pote a fine or imprisonment for the neglect to vote, but I put the matter in this light. The right to vote is one | b which every man guards: most jealous. | Ii ly.

And more to the same effect. The more the subject is discussed the more palpable becomes the thought, the deeper the conviction, that the men who hang back on election day, wait ing for an enticing bribe, should be ewt by the workers, and if they fail to vote they should be disfranchised What would happen if an elector could not vote, - if sickness or some other circumstance prevented him ? Mr. Rog ers thought of that and said a simple affidavit, before a justice of the peace or the revising officer, would prove the Necessary protection.
