THE PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS
NEXT
There can only be one more
session r•f the present Legislature of
Ontario ere another appeal to the
people by the Hearst government will
become, necessary. On the last oc-
casion Mr. Rowell was the leader of
the Opposition, and made. a splendid
fight on the abolition of the bar and
similiar issues. This time prohibition
will not be a subject of serious con-
troversy, all parties being now com-
mitted to it, and there being no man
in provincial politics who would ven-
ture to suggest a return to the old
licensing system with all its attendant
evils. Mr, Bowell is also ors(. of the
way, having been translated into the
Dominion arena, and the Liberal parte•
wilt have to provide a new leader and
possibly a new policy, A change in
the voters' lists systems ]las also been
made and the provincial -irauchise ex-
tended to wohlen and soldiers. The
old method of taking the municipal
lists as a basis and adding to it the
names obtainer/ by registration is done
away withra'tid the system of enumer-
ation which has prevailed in the Do-
minion elections recently held is to be
substituted. The franchise has been
extended to women and soldiers, but
has not been changed in other re-
spects, The voters' lists will in fu-
ture, be prepared under the direction
of a voters' registration board, said
boards, SSVe in the county of York, to
consist of live members for each
county, The board will appoint for
each electoral district such number
of registrars as it 1na3' deem neces-
sary for the purpose of preparing the
417s747.7.7onmatomemeasont.t7.1.70774.77. ."7
lists and shall direct the registrars,
who shall visit every house or dwell-
ing place in every polling sub -division.
The registrars are required to hold
sittings for the purpose of hearing ap-
plications from persons claiming to be
qualified and • whose names are nbt
entered of the printed lists. These
sittings are to be held between the
fifteenth and twentieth day after tate
lists are posted, In this way the re-
gistrars prepare supplementary lists
{vltiech shall be sworn to and delivered
to the clerk of the peace.
It is not easy to see why either the
Dominion or the Ontario Government
should have found it necessary to de-
part from the old system of preparing
the voters' lists, which seemed to give
entire satisfaction and to be fair to
all parties, whereas the system of ap-
pointing einunerattors suggests the
possibility of unfair lists and gives
the party in power an opportunity to
obtain aaundue advantage.
