No Ontario Election Until 1938
Toronto—Despite the ruling of E.
Hastings electors in electing a Con
servative in the by-election, Premier
Heburn announced that there will be
two more sessions of the Ontario
Legislature, which means that there
can be no general election in Ontario
before the late" spring of 1938. Con
tending that East Hastings was no
fair test of his Government’s strength,
the premier said definitely that no
redistribution bill would be presented
to the coming session. He made it
.clear also that Ontario ridings would
be readjusted before another general
election and therefore the Govern
ment will have to await a 1938 ses
sion before introducing a redistribu
tion bill.
