Voters in Ontario will have the op- •an increase in biireauerady,the tak-
,
Portuhity next_ week of deciding the • ing away_ of ,the right to decide of
kind of goveriumentthey will have
in --the province for the next three or
four year's.
In Huron, the choice is between
two estimable and capable candidates
J).p.th, as it happens, _from- the -same
part of the riding. Mr. 1VlacNaugh- '
ton, the Conservative candidate, was
elected in a by-election a year ago, -
and is a well-known Exeter business-
man. Mr. Strang, the Liberal can- •
didate, is a capable farmer, who re-
tired recently as president of the On-
. tarib Soil and Crop Iinpro-vement As-
• sociatiow His wide- -knowledge of -
municipal problems has been ga,ined
as Clerk of Usborne Township,
In the maim; the decision -will be
• based on an assessment of the pro-
,ftams offered by the two parties.
--Pre-rhier -Frost -has- indicated -that
• complacency with his recordis all he
• has to offer. He has no new ideas,
he re -CO -rd he'fondly recalls is one,
- built up over sixteen years of Con-
servative rule. It includes the high-
way scandal of a few year ago,
which the Premier recently defended
• again as being of little consequence.
• It Was a scandal, however, that re-• —
suited in the retirement of the_min
--Aster-of hikhways-and-the-convietion-
of a number of individuals and cor-
• porations as a result of their dealings
with the government.
The record includes, too, respon-
• sibility- for the confusion that exists
concerning education in Ontario and
the fact that each year the load be-
ing borne by the average municipal
taxpayer is increasing.
Also included in Mr. Frosts's re-
cord is the plight of the _Ontario
• larmer--warse each year as- a result
of the lack of any consistent farm
policy. _
Latest matter to -Which reference
must be made in the record establish-
ed by. the Conservatives during their. -
16 years in office is the scandal faced
by the Frost Gpvernment and con-
cerning the Ontario Northern Gas
Company. Frost Cabinet Ministers
• —three of them—were forced to re-
sign as a result, and leaders in the
-Ontario Conservative party benefit-
ted in substantial amounts, yet Pre-
mier Frost continues to refuse. an
• impartial investigation of _the nia,t-
ter. '
local boards, councils .and -COMTMS-
S1011S7 With a resulting centralization
of poW-er Toronto.

This is the Conservative • record
presented
presented for the consideration of
voters- by --Premier FrPSt;--INllithing
for thefuture--nothing buta vague,
- indefinite and platitudinous ileCital of
things better forgotten:
The alternative program, advanc-
ed by, the 'Liberal party -under' their

other things:
