Michael Gowda's Ukrainian rebuke, 1913

Often employed as an interpreter by politicians when they were campaigning among Ukrainians, in the 1913 provincial elections Michael Gowda unsuccessfully ran as an independent candidate in the heavily Ukrainian Victoria constituency northeast of Edmonton. Upset by his defeat, he wrote a stinging rebuke of those who voted against him, which he then had printed and put up in post offices throughout the district.
