And Egerton Rycrscn, whenever the question was raised, was in the foi‘ef’ron‘t of the battle for religious liberty and civil rights BR(')WN AN!) PRESBYTERIANS George Brown was a Presbyterian. And his sturdy opposition, whether on the platform or in the columns of his ne-WSpaper, to the exclusive claim of the» Anglican church and to the pretentious of the dominant caste which adhered to it, made a powerâ€" ful appeal to the independent ~niriL of the. Presbyterians, although as re- gards the question of the“clergy reâ€" serves," a minority of them would have vaui-esced in a settlement of the question which would have giv- en part of these to their church. Sir Oliver Mowat was aPresbyterian, and Presbyterians have always been the backbone of the Liberal party in the province. I Then again the AngliCans favored denominational educationâ€"a system which was detained by George Brown and the Grits. “I can conceiw, noth- ing more: unprincipled,” exclaimed GPorge Brown, “than a scheme to array the youths 'of the province in sectarian bands. toteach them from the cradle up, to know each other as Methodist boys, and Presbyterian boys, and Episcopal boys. We have enough of this wretched sgctarian- ism in our churches without carry- ing it further.” There are historic reasons for the way in which the various churches align themselves in politics. The car- l1y Conservative party in Ontario iwas largely Anglican, and held the :view that “the episcopal system was Iinterwoven and connected with_ the monarchial foundations of our gov- ernment.” Bishop Strachan, a Tory of the Tories, was a great churchâ€" :md-stute man. He and those who thought with him supported the maintenance of the act in 1791, which provided that there should be reserved for the “Protestant clergy” in Upper and Lower Canada “a quan- ‘tity of land equal in value to a s-venth part of grants that had been made in the past or might be made i in the future." The law was unjust. Cven if the expression “Protestant clergy" signified clergy of the church of England only-31) asshmption, to say the least of it, debatableâ€"it Was unreasonable that the members of that church, who were, certainly not more than a third, and probably tnin proportion of old-time Presby- terinn Grits silently use their vote and infinence on the other side. Of the» Baptists and Congregationalism, about 90 per cent. possibly, are Lib- erals-hut the numerical adherence to these churches is comparatively small. The Roman Catholic vote is the most uncertain factor of all. Sometimes it gaps one way, aime- times another. It is the natural tenâ€" dency of the Roman Catholics to vote Conservative. unless they have been particularly “baited” by the Orangemm.” Probably the Liberals get some- thing more. than 50 per cent. of the Presbyterian votthone would he in- clined, on the face of things, to say a good deal more than that, were there not some reason to think that, of late the Presbyterian not having produced any outstanding lendrr of the George Brown or of the Oliver MoWat type in either do- nmnion or indeed, in this country. His reply was as follows: “While any estimate must be spe- culative, I think that, normally, in Ontario, the Conservatives get at least 70 per cent. of the Anglican and 60 per cent. of the Methodiét vote. fcmmcuis AND muncsmrm HflWIHE mummmmns AlUfiN tl REASONS ARE HISTORIC provincial politics :4 w _v.

JULY ID, 1914 Brief as this comment is, it giv-es' some idea of the methods which are being fullmved by the Rogers-Robin: machin'e. Fake affidavits, forgery and doubtless» perjury have been used. Anything to saVe Manitoba for the Conservatives is the Rogersâ€"Roblin motto. And Mr. Rogers is a member of the Government led by the Pre- mier who used to talk so glibly and earnestly of the need for political \ purity. I Nor was this all. During the sitt- ving: of the Revision Court it was shown by the. sworn evidence of some of the men concerned that signatures to oaths of allegiance and oaths of residence purporting to have been taken by foreigners in Winnipeg were forgeries pure and simple. Forgery, as well as the preparation of b0gus affidavits, was part of the game of the “machine workers” for the Rog- ers-Roblin group in Manitoba. MI; Pickewgill did more than tesâ€" tify to this. He swore that he had done the work at the direction of one of his sxperiors in the employ of the Roblin Ministry, that the naâ€" turalization fees in Connection with each set of bogus papers. had been iobtainml from the License Depart- ment and the Provincial Morality Ofâ€" ticer, and that when the fake natura- lization documents were ready he re» ported the fact to the Assistant Chief License Inspector or the Mo- rality Ofiicer. After that was done, the papers were distributed to the “night clubs” and some of the hotel men in Winnipeg for use in plugging the lists with bogus names so that [lc‘rsunlltO-I‘B and repeaters brought in from the United States might vote for Conservative candidates when the election takes place afe'w days hence. In the desperate endeavor to save the Roblin Government from defeat in Manitoba, employees of the Pro- vince have been made active instruv ments in a plot to plug the voters' lists of Winnipeg through the preparâ€" ation of hundreds of bogus naturaliâ€" zation papers. This aseertion is no matter of guess work It is based upon the sworn t stimony of John J. Pickersgill, an employee of the Manitoba Liquor Licanse Department who, under oath before the Court of Revision in Winnipeg atew days ago, declared that as aeom-mis- sioner empowered to administer oaths he had signed many fake na- turalization wffi‘davits which had not. been sworn to by an appliCant ‘ appearing before him. 4.
