Mr. MeBride's claim for credit Ior having done such a good job of advertising with apples, with no cost to thn province, came in for a little sarcasm, whLcb earned audible smiles to ripple over tha. hall. The, event of the evening, however, was the oratorial effort of Mr, B. F. Wilson. From start to finish Mr. Wilson held the closed attention of his hearers, and there is not the slightest doubt that hU address made a most favorable impression. ' ' "' ' ". No speaker of the campaign has in any way equalled Mr. Wilson in poiut of oratory or close connected reasoning.. No working man could listen to him unmoved or fail to take into his mind the fact that workmen have it withj» their power by united action ih their own intent to compel legislation in their own interest-.. "„.. ....,: ...I. There was no appealing to the use of -wrong-me'thods'Or-tae-standing-in-with- parties to pass bad legislation in order to secure legislation for thcmselvea.. This is the proper attitude (or the., working man, which, if adhered to, will win for them final success. The meeting closed with three rous-, ing cheers and a tiger for Mr. Moors. .

(2) That Mr.' Neil Mackay received stock in tlie Transcontinental Syndicate. (3) That, according,to the Premier, Mr. Green was the substantial holder of the stock.. _ , .-..»" (4) That, according to Mr. Green ihe stock was Mr. Mackay's own property... (§y That'in' any event the Premier thinks Mr. Green,might, without impropriety, receive.a present ,of stock from men having' business relations with the department of which he'.was the head. '„ * ■ (6) That' the admitted holder of the stock was the Premier's' private secretary at the time he received it, and was later made deputy in the very department, which had to deal with the men from whom he had received it. ^7,)_TJiatlthe„ineinbers,of-the.cabineL were 'cognizant of these facts eight months-ago. Let us sum up the record of this government which Is-seeking a-new lease of power at our hands on Saturday., In' the first piace, they were called to take charge of the government as a result of broken personal pledges to their associates in the opposition to the Prior government, and by the aid of professed Liberals, who interceded tor them at Ottawa. Second—They refused to carry out.fhe obligations of the government in regard to licsnses and lenses in Southeast Kootenay. Tliirdr—They appealed to the country for endorsalion, nnd • were answered with-so scant a support that they were under the necessity of combining with, an independent elemoni in order to carry on the business of the House. , Fourth—They passed, with the aid of this independent element, a loan bill ofn very objectionable nature nnd currying the high rate of 5 per cent, interest, , They formulated a most objectionable assessment act. They passed','! fearfully nnd wrongfully constructed school bill. They made a secret deal with n middle party for. to,000 acres of land on Kalen Inland, which lliey knew was to bo transferred to the G, T. P. Co. nml kepi the fact a secret from the House for two years, Thoy got tangled tip1 In 11 discredit nblo shuffling of land known ns the Klttiimut flail, Thoy IbhuoiI conl, oil and Umber licences in South Hunt Kootenay to tlio extant, ot $70,COO which thn courts decided worn worthless, Thoy gnvo the C. P. It. 800,000 aureR ot land In tho Okiinn gun to which tliat company wore In no way entitled. Thoy rulcANcd the mirno company Irom its obligation under- ilio statutes lo pay to tho pro vlnco $100,000 over duo turn. Thoy raised tlio taxes on tho common people to tho highest poHsUilo notch and reduced nt tlio sumo tlmo tlio oxpo'.idlturo on public works to the lowest possible level, . They iiliuiiaicd larger arens ot (ib-ibcr Uwh (li.tii lias any uiiier government and raised less money by wny ot bonusas than ever was the ciiHo before and alienated them for longer periods of tlmo. And now nt tlio tall end of thott long career of bungling stands out In bold black charades this slock Job hinirdenl which it seems Is tho grcnt i'cbbou lor tlio retirement of Mr, (Jl'flf'l! Mr, Hobs'record Is tho record nl llie government \>U\n Uh failure to bring homo to his coinitiutencv npproprlit tlnnninany way commenminito with the ..revenues derived from tlmt coiiHiituoncy. Tho Cranbrook rldlnp; dncn not rirodtico tho revenue that la derived from this district and the nature of the country' ih that riding is such as to render road building much less expensive than in this district yet that district with a liberal or, opposi tion member secures larger appropria tions for roads aud bridges than does Mr. Ross secure for this one. Perhaps our porily member considers the flattering boquets thrown at him by the premier of sufficient import ance to make up for tlie deficiency. Mr. Ross' legislative record very evidently does not snit the labor element in this constituency and it is too late in the season to undertake to square things by " promising to do next time what he has left undone in the past He has the labor element arrayed against him-and justly, so. He cannot hope to go back to Victoria claiming to be a trusted' friend of the labor interests. This campaign plainly indicates that he is not - trust ed by them and will'not receive any considerable support from any class 4)iLdLvisio.n._ottheJaboring-peopIeand- will owe his election, if bucIi "a mis fortune', should happen to the1 district; to interests antagonistic in the last degree to any'kind of labor,-legisla tion. He has stated on. the "platform during this contest that.he1 only re' ceived 10% of the labor vote three years'ago and he will receive less than that proportion this time and how can any labor man hope for any favors from a representative who publicity lays this'charge, at then- door. He evidently got more than 10% of the corporation vote of this district and will do so again, hence his relutance to prbmiso to introduce or support legislation in favor of the common peoplo which might be op posed by corporation influence A legislator works along line's suitable to the influences which supported his olsction. According to Mr.. Ross' own statement ho got only 10% of the labor vote last time and he will, not Increase that pcrccntngo In this campaign and it wouid bo uureason able to expect support from him 'for legislation asked for by so largo a body of political opponents as against tho wishoB of a largo body of supporters. The ciindidnlure of Mr. Dicken ns the Liberal nominee in this campaign Is looked upon us a joke, and his vote will he less limn thai of either of the other two, nnd is only interosling in so (Continued on Page 3.) »»♦»♦♦♦♦♦»♦»»*»♦♦♦♦»♦»- tU.M.W-ofA.! ♦ Dist.

Title | The Fernie Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : D. V. Mott and G. G. Meikle |
Date Issued | 1907-02-01 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
