[IHlilii Mil LARGE CROWD HEAR HON. JOHN BRACKEN JACK SPEAKS OUT Last ‘Monday Jack Canuck said a number of things. First of all he told Mackenzie King to finish up the war job. He hinted that he was retained in office to do that_very thing. He suggested quite emphatically that he hoped that th© war would be finished, up in the bravest style and that the tools of one sort and another needed in the war, would be wisely disposed of at the conclusion of the war. Next he called upon Mr. Bracken to get down to strict business in his leadership of His Majesty's loyal opposition and see to it that all business in the federal parliament was carefully' scanned. Further, he indicated that Mr. Bracken and his follow ers should offer some constructive legislation. Wheuj he was about it, Jack told Mr. Coldwell to keep up his courage “and to contest it bravely with all and sundry, and to show the 'reasons for the existence of his new party. He told the new party in Alberta that it, too, was called, upon to justify its place in the sun. Jack’s jaw is firmly set these-■ difficult 'day's. He is in no m.op.d for any pri vate member to loaf while he should be./,earnMg''his board and keep. Jack is not seeing red. He is in no mood for riots. He is altogether opposed to partisanship. On the other hand he is say ing to parliament and to private, citizens, “Shoulders together and so oii“ with" the burden.” JgfokHas 'eyes iri'hife head and sees'clear ly that the day is here when Canada must step forward and up ward or get off the map. A great political rally was held in the Exeter Arena Thursday after noon of last week when Hon. John Bracken, leader of the Progressive Conservative party, spoke in the interests of Mr. Thomas Pryde, the , candidate for Huron-Perth. Bracken was accompanied by Bracken, The distinguished visitors met in London by auto and motored to Exeter. At the arena they were welcomed by the Exeter band who had paraded to the Arena. Students from the Exeter high school were lined jjp and were greeted -by Mr. and Mrs. Bracken who went over and conversed|;5vith them..... 1 : '....Mr/% Mbidey,’'lpresid'ent'&oi ' the Progressive Conservative Asso ciation, acted as chairman. He wel comed Mr. and Mrs. Bracken and - introduced the visitors on the ’plat form who included Hon. John GOLDING IS ELECTED Bracken and Mrs. Bracken, Mr. and ! Mrs. Thos. Pryde, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick, of Ilderton, Mr. and Mrs. James, of Forest; Mr. Bradshaw, of ■St. Paul’s, Ont.; Mr. J. W. Hanna, of Wingham, Mr. Fred Edwards, of Palmerston; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Borden, of Toronto, and Reev© B. W/ Tuckey. Little Miss Shirley Harness, daughter of the late Laverne Har ness who made the supreme sacri fice overseas, presented Mrs. Brack en with a handsome bouquet of flowers. Reeve B. W. Tuckey, on behalf of the municipality, welcomed Mr. ■and Mrs. Bracken and the visitors to Exeter. Mr. Pryde, in introducing Mr. Bracken, said it was one of the highlights of his life. He had not sought to be a candidate in this election. The nomination was prac tically forced on him. One of the reasons for standing was his dis gust at the manpower muddle dur ing the war. The high school students, num bering almost two hundred were present and Mr. Bracken took the occasion to address them for a short time. He outlined four things of the utmost importance for the boys and girls of today, first healthy foodies, the best education obtainable, strength of charactejr and to cultivate habits of industry. These are the foundations of a suc cessful life. Luck does not bring success to many people said the speaker. One of the things emphasized by Mr. Bracken wag that the farmer was not getting his share of the national income. If twenty-five per cent of the population are farmers then they should get twenty-five per cent of the national'income. Too many of our farmers have not the necessary conveniences and many of the women on the farms are doing a man’s job. Less drud gery would »make farm life more to be desired. At the conclusion of th’e meeting ■many of the ladies present took the opportunity of meeting Mrs. Bracken in the gymnasium, ’They were introduced by Mrs. J. Green. Mrs. Bracken proved herself to be a most charming person. In the arena Mr. Bracken was introduced to many of the, men and the school children crowded around him for his autograph. He left Exeter to address a meeting at Chatham same evening. Mr. Mrs. were ■’*' j.:- FOR FOURTH TERM that Thursday, June 14, being King’s birthday’, the high and _ He schools are enjoying a holiday.

Golding, of Seaforth, Liberal member of Parliament since 1932, was returned Monday in the federal election in Huron- Perth for a fourth term on the basis of the civilian vote. It was a three- cornered contest with Fit. Lieut. Thos. Pryde campaigning for the , Progressive Conservatives and Mr. G. A. Cann, for the C.C.F. Mr. Gold ing secured a majority of 512 over Mr. Pryde over both of his opponents. The total vote 5,483; f-or Mr. Cann 287. In the 1940 election Mr. Golding’s majority waS 2,152 and on Monday this was reduced to 512. Th© total votes cast in the rid ing were 10.,T41. The total possible vote was 14,742. In the provincial election in Huron the total vote polled was 12,905 out of a possible 18,039. Mr. Pryde was well supported in his home town receivihg 714 votes probably the largest vote ever poll ed in Exeter for a candidate. In Hensall Mr. Goulding’s majority was reduced from 135 in 1940 to 4 on Monday. Usborne and Fullar- ton gave Mr. Pryde a plurality. Mr. Goulding received his larg est majority in Hay township, the vote being 848 for Golding and 3 23 for Pryde, majority 525. Mr. Pryde secured a majority in the poll nearest to Exeter. Both parties put up a strenuous campaign particularly as both the provincial and federal elections were only one week apart. Owing to the illness of Dr, Taylor the bur den of r organizing both campaigns I for the progressive Conservatives fell to Mr, Pryde. He was also in strumental in bringing Mr. Brack en to Exeter in one of his few speaking engagements ih Ontario. Mr. Pryde was in the office of the returning officer, Mr. K. M. McLean at Seaforth when the returns were coming in and1 as soon as Mr. Golding’s election was con ceded he was the first to congratu late him, emphasizing the fact that it had been a very clean campaign, Mr, Golding later stated that it Was the finest campaign he had been through in his political career. Mr. Cann, the C.C.E. candidate., at his nomination stated that he was not a politician. He had no po litical ambitions font on being pre vailed upon lie felt it was his duty to stand for what he believed to be for the best interests of his country.
