The declaration of the Conserva- tive convention at Nelson. in favor of conducting the election on party. lines is a matter of gratification to every man who sincerely desires to see politics lifted-from amere choice between individuals to the higher plane of a conflict between well:de- fined ‘princip! The simul failure of the Victoria Conservatives to decide on a similar course should not discourage those of the interior; from following out the course out- lined. The cities of Victoria and Vancouver have been. the centers of political activity and are- under- the influence, more or less, of the--old cliques which miscall ‘themselves parties and which ‘have been thor- oughly discredited by the events | of |" the last two years. These.old lead- ers are making a desperate effort to retain the leadership .by. taking advantage of the well-grounded fear | of Martin’s without . regard to their popular following. Further,.the defeat of Martin will be interpreted at, Ottawa as a defeat of McInnes and as a signal for his re- call, This is the way the Star under- stands Sir Wilfred Laurier’s answer to.Colonel Prior’s question, for it says: “As Sir Wilfred Laurier intimated in parliament the other day, the de- cision of the, people of. the province upon the action..of the lieutenant- | governor must be:given atthe polls. If. .Premier,.Martin is:.returned to power,,jt will probably be considered nor McInnes has been justified, while if PremierMartin is repudiated, it will’ seem to be a condeimnation of ‘the lieutant-governor’s action. This “practically reduces -the: situation to this, that the people settle all such questions.” EDITORIAL NOTES.

Yet it is this very practice of, combining voters without regard: to party, for or against some par-: ticular individual, which has brought about the situation of which Martin: is the outcome. The course pro- posed by the coast politicians is no, better than: that of the morphine fiend who takes continually larger doses of the drug in the hope: of. bracing up his nerves. It is-the old, plausible, but exploded theory, of “a hair of the dog that bit-you.” ‘Whether the Liberals in other diez Topeka Capital was'run ‘tas Jesus would,” and it paid well-as' a jour- nalistic freak. Today. it goes. ‘over to the opposition. The Vancouver World is the only influential newspaper in the prov- ‘ince which has come out squarely for Joe Martin and it advocates him as a Liberal on party lines and tries to'get \other ‘Liberals to do’ the same. Mr. Joseph Martin considers the country as his meat, to be fed. upon for his own support. He bribes the people with their own money, tickles the ears ofthe capitalists with pleas- tricts put up did: op to Martin, or whether they let that gentleman capture the name and organization of the party.the course of the Conservatives of Kootenay and Yale is plain, In the latter. event, many liberals would doubt- less vote the Conservative ticket as the less of two evils from a Liberal standpoint, and it would be poor policy, in the event of success, for the Conservatives to claim the vic- tory as a purely party triumph. In the former event, the party would have at least as good chances of success and, even if in a minority in the province, might be able to hold ant prosp and: ‘p mi the laborer what is. beyond: his:power to nt.--Kaml Standard : gs ? may say to the contrary, we are per- suaded that 95 per cent. of the Con- servatives of British Columbia at this ination to fight the contest, as they have already’ ‘stated, upon’ strict party‘lines.”—Vancouver World.
