Matbeson be- lieved the bank a safe deposit {or the 'funds of the people of Ontario, what possible Warrant could Mr Field- ing have had in 1906 for, refusing Nesbi-t-t and associates like Mr. Neely, M.P.P., Col. Madlennan, Col. Munro, Dr. Grover, and others the right to do business ? Must not a. large share of the blame for the destruction of the Farmers» Bank rest upon the party friends of Beatt-i-e Nesbitt, and particularly the Mail and Empire, which praised the plunderer and recommended that he be elected Mayor? It the Mail and Empire did this innocently in 1908, Col. M'atheson, the Provincial Treas- urer, thought the Bank was worthy to be trusted withfihe funds of the people of Ohtario. I The political associates of Beattie Nesbitt are now trying to hold Field- ing responsible {or the failuie of the Farmers' Bank, because he permitted its doors to open in 1906, at a time when it had an excellent chance to do business. The ground of the com- pl-aint against Mr. Fielding is that the bank were not worthy. Yet, a1- mcst two years afterwards, The Mail and Empire, the chief Conservative organ, told the people of Toronto1 that Dr. Beattie Neebitt, at that time President of the Bank, was wor- thy to be Mayor of Toronto, and dicate some connection between the pressure applied to the \ Provincial Treasurer by an ofl‘icial of the World to increase the Farmers’ Bank depos- it and the loan made by the Farm- ers’ Bank to the World. ests of which the Globe is the journalistic spokesman. ’ ' Still later, at a time when Nesbitt and Travers needed money to go into it-he Keeley Mine speculation, which :wrecked the bank beyond recovery, ’Col. Mathseon, the Provincial Treas- urer in the Conservative Government acting on the pressure of party friend increased the deposit of the Province in the bank from $10,000 to $35,000. Contemporaneously, The Toronto World got a loan of $10,000 and’ Beat- t'ie Nesbitt a loan of $2 5000. It is understood that Travers wrote to Colonel Mitheson, telling him of these loanle‘his Would seem to in- ing against these two men. As a matter of fact no Toronto Conserva- the member in 1906 would have car- ‘ed to arouse the hostility of Dr. Beat- tie Nesbitt, M.P.-P. As recently as 1908, two years after the charter Was granted, when Travers and he were preparing to loot the bank. the Mail and Empire gave Nes‘bitt the follow- ing certificzte of character on the oc- casion of his candidature for the; Mayorallty of Toronto: “Vote for Nesbitt. He is the man that Toronto needs at the head of its aflairs in 1908. . . . The ‘livest, most vigorous charac- .. ter that has appeared in Toron- to’s municipal politics for years.
