Parties Preparing
For June Election
Following a strenuous cam
paign in the Huron by-election
in iF'ebruary, the political mach
inery had hardly time to cool
off when it was announced in
the provincial parliament last
Friday that a general election
would be held Monday, June 7.
Party executives, who were tak
en unawares by the surprise an
nouncement, are meeting to ar
range convention dates. It is a
foregone conclusion that Thomas
Pryde, Progressive - Conservative
who defeated B. W. Tuckey in
the by-election will again repre
sent that party. However,
candidate will have to be
fied at a convention for
purpose. Mr. Pryde states
if the convention endorses
he will be happy to again
the party banner.
Following the brick campaign
of 'February, Benson W. Tuckey
the defeated Liberal candidate
is not expected to enter the
field for another try. The only
other candidate for the Huron
Liberal nomination held pre
vious to the by-election was Al
bert Kalbfleisch, of Zuri c h.
Other names that are being
suggested, unofficially, are those
of Frank Fingland, K.C., of
Clinton and W. L. Whyte, a
successful poultry farmer near
Seaforth.
The C.C.F. party, while as
yet it has taken no official steps
to place a candidate in the field,
is seriously considering the
question.
