HERE AND THERE,
Mr. James Mitchell is carrying on
his campaign in West Iluron quietly
but none tite less vigorously. he. is
meeting with such ,encouragement all
along. the line that .nothing but' brib-
ery 'and those other devices, in which
the Ross Government officials are so.
proficient, can bring ttbotlt his defeat.
As is customary, all sorts of stor-
ies are being circulated reflecting up-.
utt his steaming as a temperance man,
etc. it would be.tiresome to follow
and nail all• these lies, or•to locate
the persons who are ,broadcasting
them, but it is none the less deplor-
able that such tactics should bere-
'sorted to.. We fancy it is useless to
appeal to this class of politicians for
a decent campaign, no matter how
nsuch• all right thinking men and
women desire it..— , -

I voted for Mr. Ross but I put prohi-
bition and purity before party and.
will therefore vote to put him • out
for his attitude and conduct as de-
scribed above. " But Mr. Whitney is
opposed to prohibition," says one.
Yes, he says so, but his party have
never yet been asked and consequently
have never pledged themselves to give
prohibition as Mr. Ross slid; and then
deceived us. Does Mr, H. think the
thousands of temperance people, who
have expressed the 'strongest sondem-
nation of Mr. Ross (and many of the
Liberals, too) can swallow such twad-
dle as lie dished up and say that noth-
ing has been done " unproper." • West -
Iluron and West Elgin I suppose are
all right too, nothing "unproper."

A traveller representing one .of the

said to The' News -Record the • other -
day
: " Mr. Ross does not want • to
give prohibition, but having pledged
himself so often to the. temperance:

Sir Wilfred I,aurier is anxious to,
get' away to Europe so the Dominion
Parliament is expected to prorogue
this week. The • session has been un-
eventful except to show how great a
power the big corporations have. The
rumor has been current that Sir Wil-
frid wished to retire, but it lacks
foundation. There is altogether too
much of the theatrical in- the mail of
" sunny similes" to wish to, retire -
from public view. •
FAITHLESS POLITICIANS CALLED
TO ACCOUNT. -
(To the Editor of The News -Record.)
Mr. Editor,—In the editorial of the
New Era of April 25th the editor
states " no elector can lay his hand
on any particular transaction of the
Government and say it was an un-
proper or scandalous act." - What
about the action of Mr. Ross and his
colleagues in caucus. and in voting
clown all amendments to the referen-
dum ? Scores of petitions and priv-
ate
letters es
were sent to
said icl•
gentle-
men at that critical Moment asking
for two things only, but the liquor
men held the whip over Mr. Ross and
in cold blood, while his wife lay dead,
his colleagues in the most frivolous
manner voted down the reasonable
amendments asked for. And' did not
Mr. Crawford rebuke thein for their
levity ? Read the story of the refer-
endum, as given by those wlio know
the inside track, and then ask in the
language of Mr. Holtues " Is that an.
unproper act ?" There have been
many weak excuses putt forth for their
wobbling on the temperance question,
but. I confess the New Era's is the
weakest I have seen, Listen ; " Ev-

'ANOlIIER• CLERGYMAN SPEAKS..
Speaking at Woodbridge out Tues-
day everting Rev.. J. E. Starr, pastor
of Bathurst street Methodist , church,
Toronto, said
" The great issue • in the .present el-
ectoral - • campaign is not • provincial
prohibition but. political' rectitude' and
morality. -
" Premier Ross • is attempting by
his so-called referendum to trade upon
the. ignorance, of the voters of,Ontar

" ITis so-called referendum' is ' a
fraud, just a red herring ,drawn across
the . ttail - to divert the attention of
the people from those who arc guilty
of perfidy to- their pledges."
