Green aS Receives Degree HIS SLEEVES ROLLED UP When Old Man Ontario rolls up his shirt, sleeves he shows the world a hard fist and sinewy arm. For the moat part the* sold man and his family are content to have their appointed rulers in the municipal seats of the mighty and In the province and the dominion run things without meddling with them. However, when something nasty offends nostril or eye or common sense, the Old Man and his family double up their fists and put op stout shoes with a result that startles the opportunists and the tlmq servers. For, be it upderstood, the voting on Monday was no partisan af­ fair but a people’® act. It was no mere party achievement, Healthy minded and informed voters combined ip action to do what they regarded as the right thing. We look hopefully to the elected party to ignore partisanship and to get down to doing the prov­ ince’s business pn sound principles and to carry out an enlightened policy, Ip such'.an effort they’ll have the support of this fair province. At the game time the new government will do well to realize that the hard fist and stout shoe that have been ip such evidence this week have not and will not lose their effectiveness*. The Progressive Conservative victory in Huron and in On­ tario may be attributed to several things. In Huron the people did not believe in hitting a man when he is sick. They considered Dr, Taylor an active, hard-working member who was interested in and worked for the welfare of his community and province. In the Province as a whole the people showed that they did pot believe in Mitch Hepburn’s tactics nor Jollfffe’g gestapo charges on the eve of an election. They believed that Geo. Drew had a right to a fail’ trial as premier and approved of the work he had been able to do in 18 months as head of the Government. To the Liberals as well as Progressive Conservatives goes the credit of « re-electing the Drew Government. Dr, R. Hobbs Taylor, of Dash­ wood, Progressive Conservative, who has been in ill health and un­ able to take an active part in the campaign, was re-elected to the Provincial Legislature with sweeping majority in a three-cor­ nered contest on Monday, Dr. Tay­ lor’s majority wqs 1,9 81 over Jas. Ballantyne, Liberal candidate while J. E, Huckins, of Goderich, C.C.F., polled only 1,0^4 votes. The victory of Dr. Taylor gave him a clear majority over the com­ bined vote of his opponents of 927 votes. The soldiei’ vote has yet to be received. Dr. Taylor’s majority in 1943 over B. W. Tuckey-was 470. The total vote in Huron wasfe12,9<05 out of a possible vote of 18,039. In the August^ 1943, election the total vote was 11,004. Eallots cast f-or Dr. Taylor were 6,921) for Mr. Ballantyne 4,940 and for Mr. Huckins 1,044. The returns were received by G. Clark Fisher, returning officer, at .his provisional office in thQ .Qeh-- tral Hotel and were completed about ten o'clock, A number of cars from Dashwood headed by the Dashwood Band visited Exeter and paraded the Main street ,• to cele­ brate Dr. ‘Taylor’s victory. They left here for Hensall and Zurich. The Drew Government received a .sweeping victory winning 66 of the 90 seats in the province. Former Premier Mitchell Hepburn and the ‘C.C.F,' party chief, E. B. Jolliffe, K. C., were both defeated, The Liberals secured 11 seats as com­ pared with 15 in the last Legisla­ ture and the C.C.F, six seats as compared with 34.
