C. Knox, prominent Toronto business man, of his intention to allow his name to stand for nomination as Con­ servative candidate for Huron-Bruce riding in the forthcoming Provincial election, Mr. Knox, who was brought up in the town of Wingham and received his public and high school education here, is well known to residents of this riding where his father first W. Cecil jenox taught school and latel- for many years successfuly carried om,jewellery stores in Teeswater, Lucknow, Gorrie and Wingham. ' j "I have always maintained a deep interest in my old h’ome riding and feel, if the people so wish, that I can be of service in the Improvement of living conditions and general busi­ ness,” said Mr. Knox, in making his- announcement. • "From a thorough $tudy, which for some time now I have made, of con­ ditions in the riding, I feel that I know what the people want and need,” Mr. Knox added. "Tpe issue in the coming .election is one' to which every elector should give the utmost thought. I feel that this riding has been seriously neglected . under the Hepburn Administration and intend to see, if I am chosen to stand for elec­ tion, that conditions in Huron-Bruce be given more sincere consideration. “For .instance,” Mr. Knox pointed out "do you realize that with all the rev­ enue that the Province has collected in gasoline tar alone, the riding of FIuron-Bruce has only one piece of paved highway and that is less than twenty miles in length.” When questioned about the bever­ age room situation, Mr. Knox said he would see that liquor was under con­ trol, not out of control and that no government should attempt to force conditions on the people contrary to tlfe wishes of the'majority. The same thing, Mr. Knox said, was true of the Separate Schools Act. “The great majority of the people feel, as I do, that the Public School set-up is a satisfactory one for ail races and creeds and unnecessary taxation for other" forms of education is Iniquit­ ous.” He. also felt that unless the people of the Provnice were very care­ ful that there was a danger of similar concession again being given by the Liberal party to the Separate Schools.
