UNDER WHICH FLAG?

[To The Editor Stratford Post.] Sir,—Mr' F,. J. Jackson has written yet another letter in praise of the Massey Government,- but he entirely ignores a very important principle, which is, that if a man or a Part} obtaihs a prize by trickery, if that trickery is-discovered the prize should be taken away from them. Now, «i last election the Conservative candidates accused the Liberal Government of unclean administration, bogm, surpluses, pigeon-holes, bribery and corruption, and so on. The word "corruption" was used so persistently that a stranger would have thought the Ward Government was spme. huge political septic tank. These accusations were pressed, so determinedly, both verbally and in writing, that many people . voted for them to see what would be discovered. Now, I would ask Mr Jackson to note what follows. When Mr J. B. Hine* spoke at Toko recently he was asked the question: "Has the Massey Party discovered one dishonest thing that Sir Joseph Ward did whi]e administering the affairs of this Dominion?" The answer was: "No, they have not." This answer was given without the slightest equivocation or hedging of sny kind. ''No,, they have not." It :was a manly answer. But where does it leave the Massey Party?—:! am, etc., D. MAXWELL. Toko, November 27, 1914.
