W. Norman Smith epub The U. F. A, Vol. 5: April 1, 1926 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The U. F. A, Vol. 5: April 1, 1926The need for exhaustive inquiry, and the bringing to jus tice Of any persons Of no matter what high position, who may be shown to have been guilty of offenses, in order that the good name of Alberta may not be brought. To future ignominy, was plainly indicated by Mr. Justice Ives at the Edmonton trials, when he declared, When the facts of these cases are revealed to the public, as they will be, Canada is disgraced. Think of yourselves as prominent citizens of the communities where you prosper, and instead of leading them in the ways of righteousness, you engage in the theft of their franchise. It has been shown that there were three polls in which the ballot boxes have been deliberately 'stuffed', and I would make many Observations were it not that there is a royal commission authorized.The situation at present is that two of the accused have been sentenced (they have appealed against the sentences since the article on page six was written), one has been cleared on a point of law, one is in the United States, with a bench warrant for his arrest, and one is in the bush, evading the Officers. It has been stated that cases can be laid against sixty other officials.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
