A Neighbour
Speaks Out For
Elgin McKinley
As election day draws near no
doubt many voters have arrived
at a decision as to who they are
going to support, but I feel
many are still meditating ovex'
the matter, honestly and con
scientiously desix’ing tp support,
and help to elect the candidate
that kvould be to the best inte
rests of all concerned,
I state a few of the reasons
why I support Elgin McKinley,
Progressive Conservative candid
ate in Huron-Perth.
He has the ability or qualifi
cations required of any xnan
seeking the office of ‘M.P, After
leaving High School for farm
work and while busy with his
business he has always found
time to further his education
and is known by those who
know him be$£ as possessing a
sharp mind, able, clever, ever
suggesting something construct
ive, regardless of how'perplexing
or, difficult a problem may be.,
I support him because he gets
things done. Some men inight
keep a chair at Ottawa, but we
need a man that can do a big
job well. He really accomplishes
things in business. I believe he
would be the same success »in
Parliament. He would get things
done.
I support him because of his
integrity of character, his clean,
manly, and sportsmanlike man
ner, and his many other splendid
Christain qualities which every
true Canadian appreciates. He
- has made and will continue to
make a worthwhile contribution
to the community in which he
lives.
I support him because he is a
farmer. Many voters feel that
we have plenty of men following
■other vocations in our houses of
Parliament, but not enough
competant ? farmers. Ui'ban citi
zens and business men in partic
ular know that their prosperity
to a great extent depends upon
the prosperity that rural people
enjoy. And we rural folk don’t
forget how we need the urban
folk as we make <our almost
daily trip to town.
There will be greater agri
cultural problems to solve in
the future than ever before. I
have been rather amused at the
other candidate’s attempt to
“butter up’’ the farm voters (I
do not doubt their sincerity as
far as they would -be able) but
surely the man that has spent
his life on the farm and studied
their problems is best qualified
to serve them and
interests.
Most farm men
remember that only
ago they were
wheat, cattle, white beans and
otjjer products for half what
they were bringing on world
markets. And they know some
thing about the plight the dairy
industry is in at the moment.
And don’t forget the long, ted
ious hours spent struggling over
huge complicated income, tax
return papers.
Consequently I would say to
all voters in general and farm
and labour men and women in
particular: “Stop this thing of
being party fanatics, and support
a hustling, efficient farmer and
business man. He would serve
all the people well in Huron-
Perth.” (adv’t)
