Proxy Vote for Mariners. The attention of nautical men · is centred on the "Representation of the People Bill” which is at present engaging the attention of Parliament, says the "Journal of Commerce." but perhaps the men who are awaiting the final result with the keenest interest are those merchant seamen who are. hoping, if the amendment on the notice list in the name of Sir J. &.. Harmood Banner be successfully carried through, to thereby obtain the privilege of voting by proxy. It is a standing inj stice to the "old country” tha: while, for many years, the ast ralised alien was allowed a voice' in the government of a country which was not his own, the British born seaman who daily faced peril for his country's sake was unrepresented and unrecognized. The Mercantile Marine Servies Association is still pressing the matter of the right of British | merchant seamen to`s vote, and correspondence is being mair- 'tained with influential members of Parliament. Replies have recently been elicited from Sir L. G. Chiozza Money, the Right Hon. W. Runciman, Sir Joseph Compton Mr A Wilkie, M.P. member for Dundee, and many others. Mr. de F. Pennefather, M.P., member for Kirkdale, Liverpool writes:-In reply to yours of the 2nd instant I am obliged to you for having drawn my attention to the amendment to which you refer: I have added my name thereto in support," Mr. W. W. Rutherford, M. F., member for West Derby, writes:
Thank you very much for your explanatory letter about Mar- iners Votes, which I will of course, support." Mr. W. O Anderson, M.P.,writies:-"Ihave received your letter in regard to the question of the enfranchise- ment of seamen under the Representation of the People Bill Any feasible plan in this direction will have my very Mr. & F. hearty support."

! Whyte, member for Perth, writes: "I am heartily in favour of your proposal" he following extracts from letters recently addressed to the secretary of the association by enthusiastic members are an eloquent testimony to the demand which exists in the service for the privilege of voting by proxy: -One member writes: "This has brought the vital importance of the British Mer- cantile Marine to the nation more to the front than any other thing could have done. The eyes and ears of the British people have long been closed to its great services, and it may well be termed the blood of our great nation. Our association has been hammering away at them, and the mariner has been able to feel that at last his services are being

I have always been in favour of a sssman recording his vote during his absence from home, and it has been a great injustice to him that he has not been able to do 80." Another 6878:-"I bave pleasure in returning the voting paper. The Mercantile Marine has ever been the Reserve of the Navy, R.N.E. or otherwise, and, to quote the 'Act for the Govern- ment of the Navy,' 'Whereon, under the good providences of God, the wealth, safety and strongth of the kingdom chiefly depends." One members writes: -Enclosed you find the paper.. duly filled up, every member of my crew having recorded his пете. I have always held 'that those who go down to the sea in ships should have the proxy? If the 'Stay-at-Homes" refuse-it now, they should be made to starve or sent to sea in an over- laden mudflat." The secretary is in recipt of the following letter from a member who speaks in very warm terms of praise of the efforts of the association. in endeavouring to obtain the proxy võte for seamen "Enclosed please find voting papers and petition,, form completed. On behalf of my officers and self I wish to thank you for the great improvements you have brought about in the past; long may YOU continue on in the good work, the results of which must be very encouraging to those who work so untiringly for the cloth.
