"BIG SHOES TO FILL IN BRUCE"
Last . Thursday's Bruce Progressive •'
Conservative nominating convention • at
•Southampton officially brought. to 'an end
the thought by some that ."Andy might
still `'run '.. Andrew Robinson "of Kincardine
officially ` told the ' . Bruce • PC supporters
that : he : was retiring. Andy had made
this fact known several months ` ago.
Retirement of ' Mr. 'Robinson from. the
Bruce political scene will leave "big shoes" .,
to ' fill. Regardless . of your °political. beliefs,
it hasbeen '.evident that.:'Andy. has been
a popular representative, a, good "vote
getter" and a : sincere worker,. for the rid-
.

" After being discharged :. from the; ar-
my in 1945, Andy' ' received the . Bruce '.
PC `nomination. He, had been a provincial
candidate in ' Bruce ' riding in 1937. The
1945. election gave him ' +his ' , first political
victory `.over / Carl •.Whicher of Wiarton,
Liberal candidate, ; by about • 500 votes.
Moffat Jamieson,: CCF y.,from ' Port Elgin,
trailed badly.: Andy went to Ottawa. and:
y�
sat, in opposition under'a MacKenzie . King`.
government.,•
His residence in Ottawa did -not
last too long. 'In 1949, Donald. Blue of
Ripley ;brought traditionally `Liberal ,Bruce•
*back to ' the fold with an • 800 vote lead.
over °'Addy. Aubrey : J. Mercer, ' 'CCF, .did
not pose .a serious threat. Donald : Blue
sat under a • Liberal.: Louis St. Laurent
government for one term.
In 1953 Mr. Robinson returned Bruce
to the Conservatives side by edging Don-
ald Blue •by • about;. 350 votes. This was
a two party race. In 1957,.' Donald Blue
unsuccessfully ran ' as Liberal ' :again. with
Mr. Robinson piling up a 2175 vote ma-
jority as John Diefenbaker was elected
prune minister of Canada
195 8 was a 'sad. year ; for ` the Lib-
erals. John Diefenbaker ` swept . Canada
with about 208 '`seatsin the :commons.
Andy did his part in Bruce. by piling
up a .tremendous'. majority of well . over
4000 ' votes over Chester' Merriam, Of Tara.
Andy held the Conservative seat in
1962 when he edged Liberal John Mae -
Kenzie of Bruce,Township by some 1 300
votes.. Social , Creditor Sandy. MacDonald
of Kintail . and ND? • candidate Lorne
Richards , .of ' Tara failed to ,gain ' much
support.
Mr..' Robinson will ret- a from ac'
tive political life . knowing that .in -five out
of six elections he has been -."what : the
majority in Bruce wanted". This must be
very satisfyingto a man and to a po-
litical .party, who, work insupport" of : him.

FREE SPEECH FOR ALL
din
. • Last Thuicsday .night, while: atten g.
the Conservative nomination :..meeting at
• Southampton, .' welistened to ,Conservative
platform speakers :blast' two Toronto daily
newspapers, scoffing at: their_, editorial` stand
on:: nuclear, weapons ` and Conservative
leadership,' suggesting that: their thoughts ..
are ` controlled by Bay •St.. Toronto and,.
enerall trying • to' make them:': out as,
generally, , . y.
..void ' of / /prestige, ' principle and influence:
In the very recent -past, : the Toronto
Telegram: and theToronto Globe and
e a fineveryone' .knows the
papers:' referred . to)' were:good. news" to :
.,any• Conservative and were- • regarded as
,,
Conservative papers. Now suddenly -they
haves slid far down:: the ladder in the • es-
•
timation of ..partisan politicians.
These' papers no" .doubt are. still.
"Conservative" and have, in their ,opinion,.
the , best interests.. of Canada, and • pos-
sibly.'of their party ; at heart. They have
o de . t ,•.s speak intestinal f fortitude o . p out •
forthrightly. for what they. believe, .which
is the urgent need,.'at ,:this /time without
the - issues being' ,clouded by. political • ex-
pediency.
One may agee with. them; or not,
that •is•the privilege' of the reader. Surely,
when .,Iast Thursday's speakers: condemn•
each of the other three parties from a
public platform, they 'do •not deny a'news-
paper ` the basic privileges of a free press
and freedom of expression:
