Mr." Whitney's Legislative record has beens one of unreasonable opposi- tion to everything proposed by the Liberal Government. He has oppos- ed many of the best legislative fea- tures of the Government, which have since been sanctioned by public opin- ion. He has initiated nothing. He has proposed: nothing new. The fol- lowing extracts from his legislative record will prove the truth of the above statements and 'show how ill- fitted he is to hecome Premier of this great Province of Ontario. Opposed the Karly Clesing of Shops. By reference to page 137, Jour- nals of 1888, 'it will be noticed 'that on the third reading of the Govern- ment Bill "to regulate the closing of -shops ,and hours of labor therein," Mr. Whitney entered his vote against it. Opposed the Appointment of a Minister of 4 Agriculture, During the session of 1888 a Gov- ernment Bill was brought in "re- specting the Department of Agricul: ture and other industries." It was moved by Mr. Meredith, seconded by Mr. Creighton, that "while this House conciirs in the proposition ta give greater attention by the Exe- cutive. Govern t to the agricul- tural interests 'of the Province than has hitherto been done, it is of opinion that that end can be attain- | ed without incurring the expense of adding another member to the Exe- cutive Council, and the inevitable additional expense which will be con- sequent on such addition, and that therefore the said bill be not now read the third time, but be forth- with referred back to the Committee of the. Whole House, with instruc- tions to amend the same by striking out the third section thereof."" (Page 136, Journals.) The section of the bill which it was proposed to strike out reads as fol- | lows: "The Act respecting the Exe- cutive Council is further amended so far as the same restricts the Exe- cutive Council to six members." Had Mr. Meredith's resolution pre- vailed there could not have been a Minister of 'Agriculture, Mr. Whitney voted for this amend- ment. and by doing so opposed the appointment of a Minister of Agri- cultyre, By this vote he clearly put himself on record in opposition, to one of the most important and most beneficial moves the Government ever made. . Wanted te Abolish the Office of Minister of Education. | Mr. Whitney voted for the abolition' of the office of Minister of Education in the following amendment, moved | i by Mr, White, seconded by Mr. | Clancy, on April 30th, 1891 (p. 163 [Baas the said bill (consoli- dating and revising laws respecting the - Education Department) be not | | now 'read the third time, but that it | { 'be resolved that it is expedient to place the Education Department un- der the control of a non-political | | head and that the bill be referred | back to the Committee of the Whole | House with instructions to amend the | same by providing for the abolition | of the office of Minister of Education after the dissolution of the present House.""

Mr. Whitney voted for a simi- | lar amendment. | Oppesed the Appointment of a Drainage | Referee. During the session of 1891 a Bill was introduced by the Government "respecting disputes under the drain- age laws,'"' and providing for the ap- pointment of an expert drainage. re- ferce. Mr. Whitney opposed this un- | der an amendment introduced by Mr, | Meredith (p. 173, Journals). Mr, | Whitney also repeated his votes on March 29th, 1899. Opposed the Appointment of Superinten- i dent of Neglected Children, | Mr. Whitney opposed the appoint- | ment of a Superintendent of Neglect { ed Children-- a branch that has fully | justified its establishment and exis- tence. Mr, Meredith moved an amendment to the bill 'for the pre- | vention of cruelty to and the better { protection of children'" and Mr, Whitney joined with the Opposition in voting against it, (p. 150, nais). ! Voted Against Mach Needed Accemmoda | tion for the Insane in Eastern Ontario. On April 12th, 1802, (p. 199, Jour- nals) Mr, Whitney voted against a resolution respecting a new Asylum for the Insane for Eastern Ontario, afterwards located at Drockville, al- though it was soon filled "with pa- tients, showing the wisdom of in- creasing the accommodation for the insane at that time..

Mr. Whitney vote ed for this motion, and in so doing evidenced his antagonism to this most useful and well conducted in- stitution, Veted Against a Plebiscite on the Temper- ance Question, On May 2nd, 1893, (p. 98, Jour- nals) a vote was taken on a resolu- tion of the Government to take a plebiscite on the temperance question. Mr. Whitney recorded his vote against this method of ascertaining public opinion on the subject referred to. : Opposed to & Survey of Our New Territory Mr. Whitney is on record as voting against the yearly surveys of new townships in-Northern Ontario--sur- veys that were absolutely needed as settlement advanced. On May 26th, 1893, Mr. Clancy moved, seconded by Mr. Miscampbell, "that a resolution (respecting the expense of the Crown Lands Department) be not now con- curred in, but be forthwith referred back to a Committee of the Whole ' Houss-with instructions to strike out "tha iteni of $35,000 proposed to be voted for surveys of townships in new districts," (See p,- 197, Jour- nals, 1893.) Opposed Appointment of Clerk of Forestry. Almost every new departure by the Government, which the country has again and again approved, was voted against by Mr. Whitney. On April second- ""that the resolu- of but be forthwith recommitted to a Committee of the Whole House with instructions to reduce the item by $2,000, being the salary and dis- bursements of the Clerk of Fores whith office was now vacant, and in the inion of this House discontinued." (See p. 181, Journals, 1894.) Mr. Whitney joined with the opposi- tion in voting for this resolution, and yet no branch of Government was more needed or has proved itself more valuable than the Forestry Branch of the Department Mr. Whitney has never grasped the importance of the great subject of | forest preservation and reforestry. On March 29th, 1899, for the third time Mr. Whitney voted to abolish the office of Clerk of Forestry, Opposed Scheol for Training of Teachers, A vote was taken in the House on April 30th, 1894 (p. 179, Jis.) to grant a certain sum for the Ontario Mr. Whitney opposed the grant and voted agaipst it, Oppesed te Good Reads, True to his old-fashioned and mon- progressive ideas Mr. ing the session of 1896, voted for which "was moved by Mr. Meacham and second- ed by Mr. Magwood: '"That all the words of the motion after the word 'that' be struck out and the follow- ing substituted--'this House views with alarm the tendency of the Gov- ernment to create new offices and is of the opinion that the office of Pro- | vincial Highway Commissioner with a salary of $1,500, penses, additional and useless burden on the Province,* ¢ (See p, 185, Jour- exclusive of ex- i nals.) The creation of a new office of Pro- i vincial Road Commissioner has been | more than justified by the sub- sequent experience, and. the Govern- has received more praise for their advanced policy in this than al- And yet, as had been said, Mr. Whitney did all in his power to block progress in this direction. Voted Against the County Ceuncil Bill. The public will recall the excellent and much needed legislation of 1896 to reduce the number of county coun- cillors, thus effecting a great saving in time and expense in this realm of Municipal Government, besides sim- plifying the election Mr. Whitney moves hoist of the bill, other legislative reform and since sanctioned (p. 166, Journals.) a six months' demanded by the people, | Opposed to the Proper Audit of Muaicipal Accounts, On April 9th, 1897, on. a resolu- tion in Committee of Supply to vole $2,100 for the purpose of a Munici- | expenses, | The pal Auditor's Mr. salary and Whitney voted against it. | published reports of this officer are | the best evidence of the need of such which has saved muni- of dollars and Voted Agninst the Encearagement of Poul try Ralsing. of Journals, 1897, re: s following motion: 'Mr. Carnegie moved, seconded by Mr, Kidd, that thé resolution (respecting grants in aid of agriculture) he not now concurred in, but be forthwith referred back to the Committes of Sapply with instructions . to reduce the item by $2,000 for the farm pro- per of the Agricultural College and $1,400 for the Poultry Association.' Mr. Whitney's name is among the support®rs of this motion, which is indicative of his attitude and that of his party toward agricultural in- terests. Mere Opposition to Agricaliural Interests. The Journals of the House of 1809 (page 264) show that Mr. Car ie moved, seconded by Mr. Little, "that the resolution (respecting grants in aid of agriculture) be not now con- curred in, but be forthwith referred back to the Committee of Supply with instructions to reduce the item by $8,100, Being $2,500 voted for in- structions in fruit spraying, $1,000 Pioneer Dairy Farm and $2,600 West- Page 152 ert Dairy School, and $2,000 reduce tion in vote for printing."

As late as the session of 18900 Mr, Whitney voted to do away with the Public Works Department, thus wip- ing out of existence this important branch of Govermment, which for 25 years has heen under the control of a Catholic Mimiater of the Crown. On March - 29th, 1899, (p. 249 Jour- nals) a resolution of the Committee of Supply pposed by an Opposi- tion A Which read, "that the resolution be mot now concurred in, but be forthwith referred back to the Vommigtes of Supply, with in- structions to reduce the item by $18,750 being the salary aud expen- ses of the Public Works Department.' Veted Against Immigration. By reference tp page 262 of the Journals. of 1899 it will be seen that | the Leader of the Opposition sup- ported a Conservative amendment "that the resolution respecting im- migration be not now concurred in, but be forthwith referred back to the Committee of Supply with instruc- tions to reduce the item Ly $4,823, being: Jmmigratign vote for agencies in Europe." A Voted Against the Victorian Order of ! Nurses. The Government brought in a re- solution on March 20, 1899, toting $2,500 for Lady Aberdeen's Victor- fan Order of Nurses (p. 259 Jour- nals.) Strange to say Mr. Whitney voted against this small vote for such a deserving philanthropy. Oppesed the Opening Up of New Ontario, Notwithstanding the fact that. the electors have clearly evinced a wish that the openi up of New Ontario should be facilitated, Mr. Whitney opposed the important Railway Bill of 1899, by personally moving seve eral detailed amendments, although he refrained from voting on the bill as a whole. It 'will be remembered that the railway resolutions of 1899 provided for assistance to railways that would bring within reach the Lake Abittibi region and the coun- try lying west of Lake Temiskaming. 1t also provided for assistance to the | Ontario and Rainy River Railway. Mr. Whitney, however, did all in his | power to megative this assistance. on | the part of the Province. Upposed the Encsutagement of British Immigration. On April 26th, 1900, Mr. Whitney voted to strike" out of the Esti- mates the sum of $4,825, being the amount expended for maintaining an Emigration Office at Liverpool. This was done, notwithstanding the fact that what Ontario wants most at the present moment is the en- couragement -of farm laborers and settlers on her wild, lands. Ansihey Vote Againsy the Development of New Ontarle, 'on April 97th) 16600, Mr, Whithey voted against the third reading of the Bill providibg' & land grant "to the Algoma Central Railway. . Mr, Whitney characterized this dand grant as a "phenomenal steel,". although he afterwards practically apologized for his vote at a meeting held in the Victoria Hall, September, 1901, ia the City of Toronto. Oypand the Development of the Pulp In. dustries of the Provisoe, Mr. Whitney voted against all the arguments submitted by the Govern- ment in the session of 1900 for de veloping the pulp industries of the country. For instance, he votcd against a grant to the Nepigon Pulp and Paper Manufacturing Company. On the same day, he voted against a grant to the Blanche River Pulp and Paper Company. On the 10th April, he voted against to the Spanish Riv- er Pulp and Paper Company. If Mr, Whitney had his own way, no pro- gress would have been made in the development of the pulp industries of the country, which are promoting settlement and which have already given employment to a great num- ber of people, and in the course of a few years will form the nucleus of small towns in Northern Ontario, | INCREASED POPULATION IN NEW ON- TARIO. | The prime ject. has been the settlement of the Crown Land$ of the Province, and this has been going on most satisfactorily of re {emt years.
