Form 1. ur" J 00¢. 0‘ ccccc 56, Hay ...... F. Butter ............ fl The people of Ontario should decide before all other things to have a Government with a working majority in the next Legislature. There is little hope that they can get this through Mr. Drury, who leads a group under a dual leadership. Nor is it generally believed .that the Liberal party can carry a majority of the constituencies. One does not prophesy, but unquestionably at the moment that is the common impression. The general expectation is that after the election Mr. Ferguson will have the largest group, if not an actual majority. Is it not, then, the part of wisdom for independent electors who want a govern- ment, for Ontario that can act with vigor and decision to give their votes to the Conservative candidates? This is the chief issue in the contest, and that is the chief need of the province. ‘ At the eleventh hour Mr. ,Drury submitted to the terms imposed by Mr. Morrison and his committee and he is pledged if he comes back from the constituencies with a majority to have his course prescribed and determined by a committee outside the Legislature. What h0pe is there, then, for a strong and responsible Government under Mr. Drury? Even his own party is divided and apparently it has been determined that in the new Legislature he shall be more amenable to the outside caucus than he has been in the Legislature which is about to be dissolved. Clearly, if Mr. Morrison is to control Cabinets and dictate public policy in Ontario, he should take his place in the Legisla- ture as the leader of his party. Outside dictation is utter- ly repugnant to the whole theory of responsible govern» ment and no one knows this better than Mr. Drury. To-day much of the campaign literature of four years ago makes curious reading. The Hearst Government was denounced for extravagance, for abuses of patronage, for neglect of agriculture, for subservience to “the interests.” If there was anything in these chargesâ€"and, as a matter of fact, there was very littleâ€"the record of the Drury Government is a complete vindication of the Hearst Gov- ernment. It is a singular fact, too, that Mr. Drury has been treated with more consideration by other elements than by the Morrison committee and its organ, which have made his difi'icult’task far more difficult than it need have been. If Mr. Drury should come outgof the election with a majority, of which there is little prospect, this committee would be more powerful tharlever, for the premier, as has been said, has given pledges that he will put himself in its hands and thus an outside and irresponsible body would practically control the Government and the Legislature of the province.

As late as two or three weeks ago he was most definite in his statement that in the general election he would seek and accept support from all elements of the people. A People’s party was the ideal to which he professed alle- giance and devotion. One thinks there are thousands of people in the province who would support him on that platform who must decide otherwise in view of his capit- ulation to Mr. Morrison and the class idea for which Mr. Morrison stands.
