Norvuay's Retirement Leaves the Mani
toba Cabinet Unequal to the Emerg-
ency,
WINNIPEG, Man., Jan. 11.-When DR..
Harrison kicked Norquay out of the cabi-
net q few weeks ago and succeeded in
getting the lieutenant governor to call on
him to form q government, he never
dreamed that when he lost the old half
breed he lost the brains of the cabinet.
The result is that differences have arisen
among his supporters, and the French
faction has become dissatisfied and
pledged itself to vote with the opposition.
When the legislature meets Thursday
the Harrison government will re-
ceive an adverse vote, and chaos
is expected to reign. Harrison
having formed the government, will be
entitled to an appeal to the country, but
it is doubtful if he will ask it, as an ap-
peal under the present circumstances will
result in throwing the government party
out. The whole difficulty is due to the
fact that the people do not believe that
the government was in earnest in trying
to build the Red River Valley road. II
the opposition gets in vigorous policy
against the Dominion government, agita-
ton will be commenced for commercial
union and other progressive measures
Lively times generally are expected.
