A. BATES, - - Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY, .J UN 10 <) Mi i 0 Two Kniirolv different Few have'not taken Vancouver election in' dall. Those who have to the story-cannot but views of I lie "plugging.'? a keen interes't in the inquiry into, the wliilli Macdonald was elected over Tis- had an opportunity to read both sides help thinking that the whole affair is'a MISSION CITY LOCALS disgrace to our fair young province and that the parties who are responsible for the bringing into the province of the Seattle- scum should be delegated to spend the balance of their days in private life as totally unfit to havee a part in the making of the .laws of British Columbia. We are all broad-minded enough to. look at this matter from an entirely non-partisan point of view and render a verdict of 'punish the plugger parties." We have all read what the Mainland papers.have to say, but sometimes it is well to read what others say; We, give the view of the. two Victoria .dallies, The Colonist (Conservative, and The Times (Liberal): .'���������'���������'' What the Times lias to,.say: "The Vancouver election report charges the Liberals with wholesale plugging through the activities of J. L. Scott. Mr. Bowser, however, took mighty good care that Scott should not appear as a witness. He announced, aud his press was instructed to publish the announcement in glaring headlines, that if Scott'came here he would be arrested. He guaranteed immunity to the gang of Seattle witnesses, "Dynamite Jack," but there was to be none for Scott. Wc might ordinarily expect that the committee would have wanted to hear from Scott more urgently than from anybody else, yet Mr. Bowser was determined to' keep him away at all costs. ��������� Knowing the facility .with which witnesses could be induced to perjure themselves, he had every reason to be alarmed at a threat of prosecution. Dynamite Jack Sullivan visited Kamloops a month before the election while Mr. Bowser was there. Two days before the election found,him in Seattle, where he was interested in a place , known as the Regina Hotel. This fragrant establishment was the rendezvous, of some of the men stated to be impersonators. The same steamer that brought these men to Vancouver numbered Sullivan..among'its passengers. The purser of the steamer swore that he gathered from what he saw that they were Sullivan's gang. Members of Mr. Tisdall's organization kneew they were coming. They had been advised on the Monday before the election, and Sullivan sent wireless messages from the boat to Vancouver describing the party, some of whom stopped at the , Irving, Sullivan's hotel, well known as a factor in the machine.' Mr. Bowser ist he head of the justice department of the province; he is in the control of the provincial podice; his friends at Ottawa have charge of the immigration service, yet although the number, names, descriptions and whereabouts of these men were known to the Tisdall organizers no serious steps were taken to interfere with their operations! Some of them roomed over the store of Mr. Welsh, one of the Bwser candidates in the general election, ancl Mr. Welsh suffered from the same overpowering inertia. Nothing was said about plugging by the defeated party im- omediately after the election; no charges were made against the Liiberals, although another contest was about to .take place in Victoria. Nothing was heard of the 'matter until Mr. Bowser's accusation of whoesale impersonation was made m' the legislature. When did the bright idea strike the desperate political gambler across the Bay that his victorious opponent, the man whom he hates so savagely, could be destroyed by the menas? How long did it take Sullivan to round up the "boys" who with "Kelly" at their head came to Vancouver to vote for the "wet" candidate to prevent a "lot of good fellows going out of business?" How long did it take these offscourings of humanity, the star witnesses, to learn their stories? Were .the general public as stupid as Mr. Bowser, most of the self-deceived men, believes it to be the report might be good campaign material. But the public is uncannily alert and logical these days and will draw ' its own conclusion." Then The Colonist says: - ' It is impossible for any right thinking man to regard without regret the disclosures made in the course of the inquiry into the fraudulent practices of the Liberals in the Vancouver by-election. No matter what his political affiliations may be, no one can have read the sordid details brought out under oath' without a feeling of profound disgust. The evidence directly connects Mr. M. A. Macdonald, the Liberal member for Vancouver in the ^ late House, with'the nefarious actions. As to the extent of that connection, or of his knowledge before or after of the plots hatched in his behalf, we shall express no opinion, but if we give him the full benefit of every doubt legitimately raised by his denials under oath, there remains a residuum that forms a unique record in British Columbia politics. * * * * * * Nnique expedients were resorted to by Mr. Macdonald and those acting on his behalf. Mr. Macdonald himself admits that he personally hired and paid detectives, giving them carte'blanche as to what they should do to assist in the election. That men were brought from Seattle and paid to personate voters on Mr. Macdonald's behalf has been established beyond all chance of contradiction. That a gang of disreputable people were induced by payments of money to violate the law in order to secure a majority for the Liberal candidate cannot be questioned. That some of the persons so employed occupied more or less intimate relations to Mr. Macdonald was also shown. We are not suggesting, for there is no evidence to support the statement, that Mr. Macdonald himself was a party to these fraudulent methods, ancl we are dealing only with proved facts, and avoiding insinuations, it may be true, and we hope it is'true, that Mr. Macdonald is to a certain extent a victim to the unscrupulous men, who seem to have possessed his confidence- 'but the public can only deal with things as they are made ���������known, and the whole miserable story is one out of which the .

C. Editorial (Continued) (Cojntimicd from Page Two) t Lil)eral candidate in Vancouver, whose monumental majority was the astonishment of the whole electorate, comes with shattered prestige and doubtless with a sore heart. We wish to say nothing to impute lo him any intentional wrong, but he has learned that'"one cannot'touch pitch without being defiled." The character of the witnesses, upon whose testimony these disclosures so damaging to the Liberals of Vancouver were^es- tablished, has been ancl doubtless will bo assailed by the Liberal press; but it must not be forgotten that the more they condemn these men, the more they condemn themselves for having employed them. They chose to rely upon the assistance of such men to elect their candidate, ancl it does not now lie in their mouths to object that these men are dishonorable. If they were not', they would not have been willing,to accept Liberal money to clo that party's dirty work. But whatever the character of these Liberal workers, the story told by them is substantially consistent throughout and forms the most discreditable page in the whole history, of Provincial politics. We are hopeful that the lesson of the investigation will not be lost and that never again will any part of British Columbia election campaign be transacted in the dives of .Seattle. IB This'is the same Maodonald who while speaking'in (.lie imperial hall, M.ission City, stated that the government at Victoria was "a nest of political charlatans". In the light of recent events these words do not appear to be those of a great moral reformer? But then we supose he never stopped to think what the words meant when he put them together���������just sounded a little different from anyhing he had heard before. The Liberal party throughout the province and the Conservatives who admire Brewster will be glad to know that in no way has-his.name been collected as yet with the Vancouver election frauds.. Charlie Chaplin has lost the first round .in a suit against him for half a million dollars. Even funnny men have their sad movements. e It'looks as though, there would be a Bull Moose run. for president again.
