Therefore, why support such a, party ? Liberal lead- ers and “whips” are trying hard to get their followers in line. Laurier himself is appealing to the “Old Lib~ erals” who first put him into office. to maintain their allegiance and re- tain him in office. He is not ap- pealing to the rising generation of young voters, knowing. perhaps, that they are sure to vote against such lawless administration as that which has been enacted (:1 ring the past Lil‘- eral rule.
