The Power of Reason
Aletarider Smith, /formerly taf
Toronto, now of Ottawa, and for
many years organizer for the Lib-
- -
oral party tfl Ontario, an inter-
viewewith the Ottawa jcorreependepet
ut the Globe, paints out what he Om -
eiders the principal weakness in the
Reform party of 'this province at
the present tithe. He i says /the ere:
ganization and general machinery is
al) thet is necessary for success, but
there La a considerable lack in plat-
form argument end instructiou.i
Many of the young mert of the party'
he sage,- _who appear on the political
platiferms in eleetion times, abandon
argrunerit and instruction on the
public questions of the day and.re-
sort to mere deilamation which ape
peals to the passions rather than, the
reascfn of the electore. Outside the
merabers of the Goverrirctents and a
few of their ,supporters he says there -
is a laraentable lack a !the reason-
ing faculty in •the iepeakers who a.p-
pear On public platforms in times
of elections. • This, he saes, is very
detrimental to the 'interests tel the
party and is the oine weak. spot in the
organization. Mr. Smith. says:
'In 1900, in the Dominion eleotion
•doleate was so absent that some of
'the worst cries that have ever ris-
en in the country- 'were not net in
4 any way. In 1902 the essential of de-
bate seemed to be the patent right
of Premier Ross anal two or three of
his colleagues, and perhaps three or
four of his candidates. I may say
ithat those candidates who twere able
to conduct debate instead of e cam-
paign of declamation succeeded in
;their 00L11 tests. Had other *seOnstit a-
enciee been favored with good debote
- and platforin speaking at least four
tor elx seats lost to the Liberals
-would have been retained, and in ad-
dition to this the dignity of modern
institutions would have been main-
tained."
Mr. Smith has had temple oppor-
tunities fee Observation and is, lao
doubt, oorrect in his !judgment. It
. is the .apiniert among many political'
workers fhat public meetings and
the public diecussion of public ques-
lions are not a eriueh (service in an
election campaign in 'the way of win -
ening an -election and that *thorough
and systematic, private canyassing is
'much more conduoive to the success
tif a candidate. We frequently hear
the -statement that there never was
a convert made at a political meet -
Ing and all that these raeetinees are
eerviceeible for is to work up en-
thusiasm se as to induce electors to
*time out and y6te. In ther words,
Chat it is the „feelings and not the
eeaeon that is affected. If this be
so,
than Mr. Smith's eonclusions tire
eroneous, as in this event declama-
tion would be likely to be mare ef-
feetive than argument. However we
ore disposed to agree with Mr. Smith
and to place a higher estimate on
the irttelligenee. of the electors than
*Cane do. It is the few, as a rule,
-wile always influence the. •ii.any.
!And in every community (there are;
always at least a few who are am-'
enable to reason more (than to pas-
eion or prejudice. If these men are
coovinced by argument apd proof
'that a certain policy . or )certain
mensures are right and in the best
interests or the eountry, or the. re-
verse, they are are to wield a
mighty influence with their fellows.
!Although declamation may have the
treeult of firing the lenthusiasni of
the crowd, it has (not smuch influence
op the 'solid reasonine. rnen and con-
uequently it is advisable te.eaye both
declamation and argument to he eue-
ceasful and if both ere net available
-then, by. all means, argument is the
moet profitable.
As to ,the advantage or efficacy
of public meetiogs experience, per-
hapeis the beet amide. We know of a
eonetituenoy where, at the last Pro-
vincial eledion, acting on the prin-
ciple that private caevessing is mare
effieeteious than public raee tines,
these were largely dispeneed with,
whereas in fermer elections they
were very zenerelly held. The _see
suit of the voting- bowed 'that where
meetings had been held and Ithe pub --
lie questions thorouelily and elispas-
ionately discussed, the Liberal can-
didate in all caws held his own and
in gavel -al localities made oains„
whereas in every ease where a meet-
ing had formerly been held btit had
been abandoned at this election, the
vote of the Reform candidate fell
off. Whether or not this would held
good in every conetituency end at

The Election Protests
' The trial of the profest against Mr.
Mahaffey, the Conservative eepre-
sera-eel-ire ef Muelcoka in the Ontario
Logielature,was eo.ncluded last week,
after a twodays' trial, during which
several witnesses were 0 xami n e d.
Finally, however, the petition was
dismissed by the court, and Mr. Ma-
haffey was .cosatieraed in, Iris seat.
Several cases of bribery were proven.,
but they had bean So adroitly car-
ried out. that the preseoution were
-unable to prove -that the bribers
were agents of the !candidate, while
Mr. Mahaffey *himself took the steed

of the cases,. bet that no bribery was
committed witlifn his knowledge and
that the parties concerned Ivi-ere un-
kno-wn to him and bad never been
asked by him for !act as agents or to

wee- done was, evidently, (done be-
hind his back and without his know-
ledge, hence his esoape, for which
he may thank the adroitness of his
election workers. The eases of Sault
