SP®TTON DECLARES•
FOLLOWED CUSTOM
George Spgtton, M.P. for North
a r
Huron, on Monday declared he had
a perfect right to send out from Ot-
taxa` under his postal frank as a mem-
ber of Parliament, circulars soliciting
patronage for his business college,
Mr. •Spotton declared he had sent out
several hundred of these letters.
In an interview in Toronto the 1.
Huron M. P. said the letters were
dictated to a Goverment stenograph-
er and passed through the usual chan-
nels.` All letters dispatched by mem-
bers have to be authorized by 'the
chief of stenographers and the 'dere.-
of the House -
"Were these letters authorized," he
was asked
"They were authorized. In fact, it.
was Mr. Smith, head stenograhper,
who suggested they should be muitie
grahped to save time: Otherwise; I'
could have had carbon copies made.'
"Do you consider this method of
writings business letters quite in or -
der?"
1 consider it one of my
l' is
perquisites.' Every pubic office has
perquisites. If a man were not allow -
ed to keep in touch with his business
while in Ottawa, except` by hiring his
own stenograhper, then a parltamen•.
tary career would be for rich men on -
ly,"
"Is this a general practice?"
: "Even more so than in my case:
Mr, Smith told me a short tune ago
that I had been particularly lenient
in the use of his steno g rah ers `this

session. I ani not trying to `put •any -

clerk have long experience in partes

Mr. Spottonstated he did not hint.
that the matter would be brought up
in the I=louse. "It was done before
and it came out that the persons who •
P
protested had been themselves mak-
in articularly free use of de art-
Y A
mental facilities," he said, "If any-
one thinks they win do ire harm in
