-when, at a time es hsch, as he:thoughts
would not allow an.effectrvei(eply
he made allegations aga part „Mr.
Rowell in connection with -some, of

The latter had referred' to dVIr, Row..;(s'
ell's legal services cite correction
with the Oka Indaans and the Sault
industries. Sn'the former (rase bile. `,'
Ferguson claimed, that Mr 'Rowell
had been retained by the Dominion_
Government and that he had for -
felted has seat as much as Mr, Per
guson himself. Mr. Rowellish.owVlair
however, that the retainer had, not
come from the Dominion Liovert} „ , ,

Church, In connection with the
Sault industries there is a quota-

I further charge that the :Pro-
vincial Secretary, a member of the
Government of the Province of On-
tario, by himself and officials of his
department, illegally, wrongfully
and corruptly intervened interfer-
ed'with an im0luenced voters of the
counties of Welland. 'Huron and Peel
in elections recently pending in the
said counties onthe subject of the
adoption and passing of the Scott
act and for the prevention of ea -
temperance, the said :,(legal,:wron'g
ful and corrupt having been so done
and committed for the purpose of
preventing the passing and adop-
tion of the said act, and for the
purpose of promoting and securing
the co-operation and assistance .of
the liquor interests of the Province
in favor of the Government.
Itis frankly amazbyg that ,after
such serious and deliberate charges
the Government should refuse en-
quiry. The situation in this respect
is even worse than last year with
the Proudfoot charges, There they
did grant an enquiry which was
afterwards stifled, Here they have
not even granted an investigatiot,
imperfect as et might be.
As has been pointed out ;n the
House and repeated in the press,
Mr, Hansja's denial of the charges
in the 'House is not at all sufficient
as the situation is much too serious
to be settled by any more rion;ai
without finding out all the facts
as would be revealed in a full en•-
quir•y. Neither is the ;affidavit
made by Provincial License Inspect
or Snider himself of any moment in
connection with the case. He de -
elates that the explanation < ;a en
by the Provincial Secretary of ah•
Solder's Visit to Huron, Peel and
Welland was a true and eoerect
statement, t ent but, again, n what t c s
needed
in the c!,r
cumsi'auces, was
not any statement either from ItIr,
Hanna or Mr. Snider, but a Royal
Commission of two judges to Lnveai
In spite of the most etir•p'li"ati,Cata + 0
protests not only from the Liber-
als of the 'House, but from re -3,1W ;c,,•n.:r,A y,;,.
outside quarters, the gerrymander
was put through by theGoven•ns,,ea
ment at the close of the Bessinn. ""'"
The Liberals are pratacally elimin
ated from three of the seats at
present held, by them- namely, teen
of the Bruces, whiich are changed
from Liberal to Conservat'a%es ma -:s
joriti,es, and from Mon cit wliich'is e i
completely p Y wiped out. Several
other charges are all in the taareet •
ion of stren'gthening niateriallythe aa
chances of•r ,Coneervati:ves cand',-
dates and the not result, obviously'
unfair, has led storms of protest: . ut
