IS THE BALLOT SECRET? Mr. McNaught, one of the Class A candidates, in Toronto, made an im- speech on the ballot on Thursday night. He was very careful to tell the electors that no one can tell how anyone votes, and nearly lost his breath when some wretch shouted from the body of the hall, "Make me returning officer and Fl give the whole thing away." The audience was dumbfounded. for a while. Then some one demanded, "Put him out." Mr. MgNaught was willing to gamble $1,000 that the secrecy of the ballot was complete, It is a good thing for the government officials, in Kingston and elsewhere that such is the case, 'but it is well to remember that the original ballot switchers were distinguished conservatives, that they operated in two provinces, and that they had the sanction and approval of leading members of the conserva- Yes, electors of Kingston, the ballot is secret when you see that it is free from identification points, that you mark and fold it properly, and see that it is safely deposited in the ballot box, The more careful you are the surer you will be that what you No in deciding an important elec- tion will have it# legitimate effects. My. Whitney, at London, said there had never been any dissension in the cabinet on the power question. Mr. Beck told Dr. Mearns, of Woodstock, that he had gone without sleep night alter night, as he worried over the Who is romancing ? pressive cabinet cabals. NOT A SQUARE DEAL. It will be news to some people that the conservatives of this city rejoiced in the possession of the lotomotive works by the present managers, and the congratulations that were heaped upop them. It is not so long ago since this in- stitution was idle, the workingmen be- ing obliged to go .from the city in search of employment or remain home in distress and anxiety. The plant was offered for sale and Hon. Mr. Harty purchased it. A notice of hiis success reached him by telegraph and he announced the immediate opening of the works. This was on the eve of an election, Did the con- servativen rejoice and tender their congratulations ? the con- trary they circulated the statement that what Mr. Harty claimed, that he was the owner, was a fiction, and de- signed to deceive the electors. Nor was this the only instance in which the rejoicings and congratula- nuns of the conservatives were miss- ing. The managers of Kingston's most important industry have had to accept some very small favours from the city, When they desired to install fire pwotection hy the sprinkler system shared in at re- No; on they were given a water connection on the most exacting conditions. When later they asked for the low- est rate for electrical power it was quoted at four cents per kilo-watt hour when the street railway company was served at 1.66 per kilowatt hour, and Mr. Nickle has undertaken to show that the city is making money by the deal. With Mp. Nickle in Kingston and another man in Toronto--the man the people have tried and have learned to trust--there will be calm in the elec- tors' mind while new railway agree ments and deals are on. ------------------ IT HAS NO MERCY. The political machine is a wonderin] thing. One may kick against it, but it must be played or it will erush. Mr. Sutherland, of South Oxford, sup- plies the evidence of this. He was elected as an independent. He wanted lilkral votes and he got them because he promised to play fair, In the house, however, he managed to go the whole Whitney programme, including the incidents of that last awful week, Going home, at the end of the term, he had misgivings, however, and an- nounced that he would not be a can- didate again. He had been behind certain automo- bile legislation, the aim of which was to clear the countzy roads of the pesky machines for part of Saturday and Sunday, but Mr. Whitney ordered THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, 8 ATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1008. thoegh it' hurt him, though the ma- chine ground him to the dust, would he servo it, Jt is the same every- where, When it cannot coerce it will destroy, ms wa Mr. Nickle is not the only man who has lost money on business ventures. Some of our most enterprising men have dropped their dollars in various schemes, but they have not hired the city hall to talk about it. THE QUEST FOR SPOILS. It is the report of a rounder that at a recent comservative committee meeting the names of voters were called, those who had to be "fix- ed." There was no secrecy about the proceedings--it was done openly, free- ly, even publicly, and the reflection of the rounder was, "Well, the sugar is going and 1 may as well have my share of it." The attention of Mr. Foy should be called to this fact. As the big police man of the province, the man who said 'he wgs ready for any emergency, he should be asked to send his de teetives to Kingston to shadow those who have undertaken to dope the electors and weigh themselves down with very plethoric pocket-books Monday. \ Thé Toronto News recently gave an artistic grouping of the fellows who had made a specialty of - electoral crookedness, and a Sherlock Holmes, under the. direction of Mr. Foy, might in this eity identify some of them wearing the Nickle eplors. The appetite of this tribe may be whetted by the story that is current, namely, that a eertain group of per- sons will subscribe handsomely to wards a public title for Mr. Nickle, and they will want their share of the spoils. on Liberalism means [air play every- where. The men who are on the min- isterial side ol the house, if in oppo- sition, would not think of depriving the civil and military servants of the pay they have earned. The game too small. is * RECORD OF BROKEN PLEDGES. So Mr. Nickle desires to go to To- rorito as a sort of thank-offering be- cause the Whitney government has re- deemed its Which It is well to ask because here are some of the pledges that have not been carried out : Abolish the office of minister of edu- cation. Abolish of forestry. Cut down the succession duties and stop the robbery of the 'dead. Discontinue the supplementary re- venue law, and the taxation of the breweries and distilleries, the finane- ial corporations, the telephones, tele- graph and railway lines. Abolish the public works' depart- ment. End the appropriations for immi- gration. Reduce 'the number of members the legislature. Have a redistribution of seats only after a decennial census, Take the enforcement of the liquor laws out of polities, Cause the boundaries of constituen- cies to be defined by judges. promises. ones ? the office of superintendent of Reduce the general expenditure. Make g finish of the spoils system. Ete., ete, ete. What is wanted is not a member for Kingston who will fawn on Mr. Whit- ney and make him believe that he is infallible, but one who will call to mind some of the pledges he has made and ask, What are you going to de apout them ? : The fact that the conservative can- didate is a rich and ambitions man is ground for the conclusion, apparent. ly, that the election on Monday will be a corrupt one, so far as the con servatives are concerned. THE MAN FOR KINGSTON. It is unquestionable .that in a local election the personality of the ecandi- dates counts for very much. The leg- islature has been likened to a great county council the members of which are more concerned with the well-be- ing of the localities in which they re- side than with the questions which divide the members of the federal Of Mr. Pense it is not necessary to say much.

New Ontarig is "agin the govemn- ment," and its fanliy colonization road schemes and mining laws. Hom. F. Cochrane is making a personal canvass in his constituency. He is promising anything the people ask in return for their votes. I -------------- "IMMORAL AND DISHONEST," The question is asked, "What does the liberal party stand for in the leg- islature to-day ?' All that is pro- gressive in legislation and sound, in government. Mr. Pense is heartily in accord with his. party in this respect. The electoral methods by the liberal party years agp 'are not. under ve view. Neither is the Rosa govern: ment. In the election of 1904 the peo- ple passed upon events up to that date, and there cannot be a revival of old offences and old eharges for cen sure or condemnation now. Besides the conservetive party is not free from blemish. In the past it was found guilty of gross electoral frauds. It was severely punished. Tt was the chieftain, a man without a peer in his day and without a sue- cessof in this, who boldly declared that a man could not be chastised a second time for a political offence. He claimed and received the consider- ation of the people after an exile from office for one brief pavliamentary term. The Ross government is not on trial, but the Whitney government, and if Mr. Nickle and his organ are really anxious for independent eritic- jem the cause ?for it can he easily found, The Toronto News, in a candid mo- ment, confessed, in regard to one great transaction, that the govern ment was both "immoral and -dishon. that it hdd "deliberately ®and mercilessly driven a great enterprise into liquidation," and that it has ex- hibited examples of irresponsibility as bad as any of the aparchical repub- Jies of South Nmerica.

The Figures Given By the Tories Show This--A Large Amount of Money Spent That Cazn't Be Accounted For. Hamilton Times. The tory orgais are obliged to ad mit that Whitney has increased the ex- penditure of the provinee of Ontario x considerably over $2.500.000 in less than four years, The expenditure for 1908 'was $5,267,453. The Whitney ovVernment's estimates for 1908 ealil or $7,909,205. « And that is not all, A considerable sum will be spent in addition to that. When Whitney in creased by $2,400 his own salary, and those of his ministers, in order, to prevent annual! criticism of the in- erease made, he provided "that it should be 4 statutory payment, hence it does not appear in the amounts an- naally voted. . This, with some other item of a similar nature, brings the total to about $5,000,000, pearly $2.- 750,000 of an increase over what Mr. Ross, whom Whitney charged with be- ing kxtravagant, used to govern the province. Without the splendid sources ol revenue provided by Ross, Whitney would have been many hundreds of thousands of dollars behind egch year. But being obliged to admit that he has enormously increased the expendi- ture of the provinee Whitney's parti sans say: "But see what we have done for eduction! Nee how we have increased the provincial grants toward it!" It is worth while considering what has bee done in this respect. At- cepting their own figures--we hawe not taken the trouble to verify them--they claim that in 1907 Whitney's expendi ture on education was ¥1,359 905, Roughly speaking, this is about $408 - 000 more than the 1904 expenditure, and when it is considered that by far the larger portion of this increase was given to 'Toronto university, the showing 'made, as far as the public schools are concerned, i= a very paltry one a8 compared with the two and a half million or so added to the annual expenditure. Let us assume that the tory organs, in their "officigl" presentment of the machine's case, use the correct figures. They eclairrthat the grants made hy Ross in 1904 for the purpose of edu- eation, agriculture, colonidation roads and provincial institutions generally aggregatod 81,808,502, while they claim that the grants last year amounted to $2,545,139. It is surely conceding them enough to accept their own figures. They would indigate gn increase of $736,637. Where did the rest of the $2,500,000 go? There is g very large margin here to be accounts ed for by frittering, mismanagement, extravagance and thé more direct mes thods of transferring the money of the people to the pockets of the heelers. When the electors come to cast up the accounts they will pot fail to notice the discrepancy, 'They may conclude that a larger revenue should yield them more than ope dollar out of three in grants, and that 'the political heelers and grafters should begpeduced to ar cepting a smaller amount as loot. E ,~ IMMORAL AND DISHONEST. A Strong Arraignment of the Government. Toronto News, January. "The course of the government immoral and dishonest, and such the courts would not tolerate in a private individual. The words are strong. but no milder words meet the case. The government hy deliberate juggling is seeking to accomplish desirable end and is endeavorine to impose on a group of private inves. tors and consequences of its own mis takes in public policy.
