His main support comes from those men who tried to avengethemselves on the police department for being held to astrict observance of the law, by teumping up charges of misconduct against the chief of po- lice ad his subordinates. They were not manly enough to come out openly and prefer these charges themselves, but skulked inthe back- ground, while they induced Trades and Labor council to play the part of accuser. Their charges were ubundantly disproved by searching investigation and served only to show that the police depart- ment had been honestly adi Still remaining inthe background, these men then strove to make ure of the rivalry existing between the provincial and city police by bring- ing forward Mr. John Kis, the gold commissioner, as te for mayor. They were pen circu lating « petition to him to accept the nomination when the commis- against any provincial officer be- ‘coming a candidate for a municipal their scheme was ‘Then,the same men fell back on Mr. Hector McPherson as their candidate and are now his most ac- tive supporters. He was a last re- sort, for his public record was too recent and malodorous to give him any strength before the people. But he was the best they could get and they took him. ‘Now the sole grievance of these men was that they were not allowed to openly carry on gambling games and their main purpose is to have the police department under the control of a man friendly to them- selves. Mr, McPherson may be a been of a character to make him very rigid in the restraint he would put on the vicious element. He wit bh the schemes of his chief backers, Knowing him and his supporters, knowing the reason for the oppo: tion of those supporters to the Goodeve administration and the purpose they seek to serve in striv- ing for a chance, the voters will be istibly driven to the conclusion . McPherson's pledges to sto} yg would not be carried ped epoiges were elected. On the contrary, that evil would be carried on openly and shamelessly and any men who voted for him on the strength of his pledges would find that they had been bunkoed out of their votes. PARTY VS. CLIQUE.
