The a(!tion uf the Oovertimeiit, in springing tlis eleotioli on ut this time, has every api>earance of an altuiiipt to secure a party advantage rather than a suttleiituut of this question, wio yipectatton b<-iug to oWtlii another lease of |)ower uii a snap verdict, and also to assitt ilie Liberal party in the coining Doraiuinn struggle.

We therefore ad- /seate " rigid economy in every department of the pnblic service." and " geiMral reduction in the machinery of government" In reference to Prohibition our position is elear and aMisfactory to all independent pro- hibitionist*. Not only are my personid con- viction* strong on this subject, but as an organwation we ara fully committed to Uie overthrow of the liquor traffic We stand for "the en.actment and enforcement of a prohibi- tory law as speedily as possible. In the meantime the restriction of the liquor traffic to the full extent of the power of the Legisla- ture." Mr. Greenway claims that in this matter his government "have pursued a con- sistent course throughout" A review, how- ever, of the legislation of the last four years reveals the hollowness of the professions of the Greenway governn^eat on the temperance question. A leading prohibitionist, whose sympathies have heretofore been with the Liberal party, has recently said: "The time has oome wh«n even tt^ most "lilierar'-minded advocate of our eause is compelled to confess sore disappointment iiL his hopes of temper- ance legislation from tiie Liberal Qovernment of this Province. In support of this it is only necessary to point out that since the plebiscite vote of 1892, ani the Attorney -General's pledge 1)1 more stringent legislation until the t|uestiun of jurisdiction was settled, practically nothing has been done to make good this pledge U* the contrary, the record of tli« Sres«'nt government, as appears by legislation, I ia the opposite direction Several changei- have been made in the licens>> laqiiarcly on the side uf right.

Old party polities have shnpljr .degenerated into a scramble for office, one party fighting to keep in. and the other to gei m. The result has been th^t, the welfare of the country has been sacrificed to the intereet of Gritism or Toryism. Is it not high tii«» that this should come to an end aad that these two old partins should be buried .under a showerof independent ballots? I have cat loose from the Liberal party for the name reason that others have abandoned the Con- servative party We have come out of thes* old parties that we may unite on the sound principle of legislating for the raas-'es rather than the classes.
