Hon. A. Currie is having distributed
information of general interest concern
ing the commission form of government.
With this information at hand it will not
be possible for any individual to plead
ignorance of the facts which are self
evident If a man be disinclined to OPP
pose the proposed system, it is his priv
ilege to oppose, but he can not evade
the issue, by misleading himself. It has
been made manifest that some of the
opponents of the commission form are
instigated through the influence which
would continue the present system, but
these are in a hopeless minority. The
people want change and will secure
what they want.
The purpose of Mr.. Currie is to edit
cate the people on the proposed commits
sion form for which he should be com
mended.
