The Clinton News Record, 1913-05-22, Page 3News -Record Su plement Clinton, Ont., May 22nd 1913. Mr. Newton Wesley's Row- Seaforth. ell's Work. Newton Wesley Rowell bas sue- eeeded in creating a spirit of bitter-. noes in provincial politics that had no existence before his entry upon. the leadership of the Liberal Oppo- sition. Heralded as a Christiangentleman of the highest character and attribu- tes Mr. Rowell has accomplished more in the course of a year to- wards creating an intense and bit- ter partisanship than was done by any of his predecessors, not one of whom came to office with a profes- sion that could hold a candle to that of Mr, Rowell's. The able • lawyer and public man who preceded Mr. Rowell in the leadership of the Opposition was sub- jected to pan attack upon his personal character Sir James Whitney ex- erted himself to the end that this at- tack should not he used to the pont- . lice' burt of his oppouenit. The re- sult was that Ikon. Alex, McKay was elector' in North Grey in 1911 with'a majority of 704 as against a major- ity of 71 in the preceding eleotion. What happened to Mr. McKay at the hands of his party 7 .It is well. remembered that, rumors being pub- lished that he was about to resign 'from the leadership of the provincial Liberals, he went to Toronto and gave out an emphatic denial. But the next thing the public knew of the situation was that Mr, McKay had resigned and that Mr. Rowell had gained his place.. How are Sir James and Mr, Hanna requited to -day for the effort that they made in protecting an opponent? Both these public servants are treat- ed as though they were unworthy. of the association of decent mien. They are subiected . to villification within and without the House. Hugh Mon- roe, of Glengarry, a Liberal, on the floor of the House it is true, declared he did not believe the charge against Mr. Hanna of trafficking in coal ten- ors. From whom should that admis- sion have Dome? Was it not the duty of the gentlemen whose Christian profession has been made 'mush of? He, as the leader of the Opposition, and a marl desiring above all things to be Pair toward an opponent, should have been the first to speak. But it was Hugh Monroe only who spoke.—London Free Press.
