The farmers cannot be induced to vote directly for Unionism again, but they May be induced to vote half a vote for a Unionist Tory candidate by voting for a ;third party and thus splitting the forces otherwise avail- able th oppose them. The only way *to displace what Sam Hughes calls the Tlavelle-owned Government,' is by uniting with e friendly organiza- tion big no -ugh to place candidates in every riding in the Dominion and with chances to elect half of them. A Coalition Government will al- ways be of the seine color as its dom- inating faction It was edifying to note that Mr. Cockshutt, who mixes Much religious flavoring with his political diet, as he fervently patted the Western mem- bers on the back, referred' to Mr 1Vlaharg, Dr. Clarke and others, in con- nection with the Tory machine, under • he denominational name of the "United Brethren f Canada."

A. to secure rep sentation without a new party? T is the question to which Mr: Je Gouge, former Liberal candidate Bow River, AlbertBulletin: .a, replies in an terview reported in the Edmont "I hear much about the propos U. F. A. Party, but my personal servations lead me to believe that t farmers are not very enthusiastic support of the movement and not any means unanimous. Those who 'a thoughtfully analyzing the situati see in. the great encouragement a solicitous advice given them so fre ly by the Tory Unionist Press, nothi more than a well Odd scheme- ta vide the vote whichiVould be 'sure overwhelm the Unionist candidates Alberta If all voters in this provin who believe in the reduction of o 42% per cent. tariff, the curbing the bank monopoly and the inaugu tion of real democratic govemene with, a ballot in. the hands- of eve citizen and Orders -in -Council in t :furnace, will stick together it woul be a 'cinch to send twelve represen atives frdm Alberta, pledged to su port the cardinal principles for whi the big majority of Alberta farm and business men. stand, The ,wis farmer knows that when the UniOni Press begipe telling him how to `g in,' it is more likely telling him ho to 'stay out.' There is no good in a "easing the farmers to get into politic He has always been in. The man wh thinks the farmers of this country any other eountry are not well inform ed Mid keesily interested gonernraental affairs, law never bee in close touch with any educated a intelligent farm community. The is ) doebe but the United Verniers o Alberta are capeble of organizing political party, but the thoughtful far nier -is wise enough to know that party which was purely a class part and not broad enough to include any body and everybody in accord wit its policies can never win an election The farmers will need the co-opere tion of the blacksmith, the carpenter the painter, the merchant, the employ er in all civic officee and every othe man whose interests and conviction attach him to a national Policy good for all Alberta and all its people. The could net get or hold this support fo a party with. exclusive articles of as sociation or close corporation tactics How is the U. F. A. to secure re- presentation without a new Party? By the same method. that eevery other good citizen gets representation. By either joining with his friends and thane in economic accord with him, through one nf the parties now- in in existence, or.forming a party broad enough to include them all.. Person- ally, I think the idea of third and 4th:parties folly.. If the U. R A. have votes enough to, elect a candidete in any riding, they have, twice as many as will be needed to go to the Liberal Conventions, which are always open to all, and make the platform and nom- inate the candidate of their choice. In fact, this is what usually happens in Alberta. If the actave farmers and men affiliated with them were barred from Liberal Conventions, the quorum would be broken. The Alberta Liberal platform is essentially a far- mer's platform and -qualified farmers are eligible to run. for office on it. Why divide? Five or ten members, if they could be elected, representing a third party, would be of little service. A email minority party, in the black benches, kicking their shins against the desk, watching the Unionists, whom they had helped to organize a Government by displacingiiLiberals, would not get the farrnernything. The -abeolute impotence of any one man, even in high position, is well illustrated by Mr. Grerar. So far, Mr. Crerar's advancement has resulted in nothing more than disappointed ex- pectations and blasted hopes.. When the Council of Agriculture handed to Mr. Crerar that logical and Liberal platform, adapted in/Winnipeg,was reminded of the boy whose mother sent hira out to set the hen. On his re - the mother, asked him how many eggs he had placed in the nest? He said twenty -fine. The mother, much annoyed, said: "Johnny, don't yen know one hen cannot hatch twenty- five eggs?" and Johnny reelied, "Yee, I knew she couldn't hatch that many, but wanted to see the old hen spread herself." The Council of Agriculture could not have expected Mr. Crerar to bring back any chickens from the splendid basket of eggs they placed in his hands. The incubator to which he took them was not built to hatch that breed, and so far he has not had an opportunity to even 'spread himself.' My judgment is that the farmers who want real action in this countryare not going to be caught by the ap- parent trick of being divided into fac- tions on the advice of the enemy Press. The trap is too easily detected. The farmers of Canada were induced by camouflage to assist in electing *the Unionist Government, when, they knew that the leaders opposed every econ- omic proposition the farmers believed re - his sse in in - on ed ob- he in by re on e - ng dind - to in cc, ur of ra- nt ry he t - oh p - ere et d- s.
