Mr. Whitney, the leader of the Op-
poeition in the Ontario Legislature,
lion framed a bill with which he topes
to do emnetbing to clip the claws of
the Machine and afford the people of

will con be made nacaiewitbly potent at
the polls. Whether be can klhatue
hiactineonade Legislature into letting
it become law remains to be een. But
it requires a Oaring party to defy pubs
lie ilecency. One Important feature
of the bill Is the rescue of the voter
frotn the threat of the "numbered bal.
lot." A ballot that is not ecret-even
e a ballot which is popularly believed

than no ballot et all ; for it bides tbe

chise and would be asttatned of it if ite

to trace the vote of any bargain coun-
ter Rumbas° they naay have made as
well as that of any naan under their
thumb directly or indirectly. That
they would not stoop to such means to

When Mr, Whitney comes to the
election machntery itself, he suggests
a number or common-sense provisions

• For instance, the returning officers,the

fully evident that the Ministers are
trying to postpone this investigation
indefinitely. Their attitude is tanta-
mount to a plea of guilty on behalf of
the scoundrels who stole Brockville

guilty knowledge on their own behalf.
It is a great tactical blunder to at-
tempt to screen the criminals in this
case, seeing that so much has already
been revealed identifying the Machine
methods with the Liberal party. The
electors can only see in the Mieisterial
tactics a determination to "hug the
