When the CCF dragged ~the Dawson Miners’ Union into pub- lic endorsation of the CCF candi- date, with little more than a quorum of CCF-inspired mem- bers present, they not only vio- lated ‘the policy of their inter- national union, but gave impetus to the disintegration of the Daw- son Miners’ Union, in a period when a strong union is needed to defend and promote the interests of its members. While the CCF was able to do this by spreading the lie that the “LPP had sold out to the Liberals,’ the vote. contradicts this because a great deal of the Liberal support here went to Black. Had the CCF maintained a working-class, posi- tion in the elections and cooper- ated for unity at the polls, it is clear that many of the Liberals would have swung behind labor. But with the confusion and red- baiting which became the order “won of the day in both CCF and Tory camps, the Liberals stam- peded in all directions, and in many cases did not vote at all— and even boasted of this “virtue” ef non-partisanship. The fiasco ‘of the Liberal attempts to nom- Inate a candidate in Whitehorse is in itself indicative of Liberal indecision in a situation where decisiveness was vitally import- ant-to Yukon progress. Scores of Canadians were de- prived of the right to vote in the Yukon Territory. on election day. Places like Clear Creek, Cham- paigne, Alaska Highway Main- tenance camps, even in camps close to Whitehorse, electors had no opportunity to register their vote. : There was no advance poll granted to Whitehorse, with the result that scores of workers who were “surplussed” after being placed on the voters lists, could have voted, and would have voted had the opportunity been provid- ed. The people of the Yukon voted against the past 25 years of Tory inaction and reaction. Black won on a minority vote; the total vote of the CCF and Labor would. have snowed him under; seven palls out of twenty-two gave Labor a majority over the Tory, and in Mayo, oné of the Yukon centres, Labor was only one vote short of Black. In Whitehorse; where Black characterized McEwen as a “criminal” and “camp-follower of the American Army,” Labor beat him by 420 votes to 379. Black in’ the Yukon because of CCF support in splitting the pro- gressive vote. Labor won in the Yukon be- cause two-thirds, of the Yukon people voted. for a change — for epportunity — for Yukon prog- ress. To those good people our pledge is that we will still be fighting with them for victory in the peace.
