See Hurn MPP
for cabinet post
News commentators regard
Huron MPP C. S. MacNaugh-
ton as a strong candidate for
a ministerial post when the new
Ontario premier, John P Ro-
barts, names his cabinet
' It's already been widely ru-
mored that Middlesex North
MPP, William Stewart. now
minister without portfolio, will
succeed' William Goodfellow i in
the agriculture post. •
However Mr. Roberts, the
mean 'who earned the right to
make the appointments by win-
ning the PC convention last
PAUL FEE week, hasn't given even so

He's expected to make his de-

Commerce department
Toronto Globe and Mail re-
porter, Stanley Westall, sug-
gests Mr, MacNaughton could
be a choice for the Department.
of Commerce and Development,
whose minister, Hon. William
Niekle, has anlicunced his tie-„
cision to 'retire from the legis-
lature.
He said the Iluron MPP "has
considerable legislative •expe-
rience, membership on' a num-
ber of important select com-
mittees and the right kind of
seniority."
The commerce and develop-
ment dep't has been givennew
prominence by candidates for
the leadership who stressed the
need for government leadership
in encouraging industrial and
commercial expansion.
Mr, Westall suggested that
Mr, Stewart, "who has been in
Mr. Frost's cabinet kdndergar-
ANNE ELIZAB'ETH'WILSON ten for some time," is ready
Huron Park,, Centralia for full status, probably in the
agriculture post.
The Toronto newsman pointed
out, however, that•the prehfier-
designate must consider such
problems as geographical loca-
tion and sectional interests in
forming his cabinet.
In an editorial Saturday, The
PATRICIA JESSOP
Huron Park, Centralia
GLENN HUSSEY
Dashwood
Stratford Beacon -Herald said:
"A cabinet post for Huron
riding's member in the legisla-
ture, Charles MaeNaughton, is
being widely predicted as one
of the results of the choice of
Hon. John Robarts as Conser-
vative leader, a premier -desig-
nate of Ontario.
"In the mobilization of dele-
gate strength, which led to the
victory of Mr Robarts in a se-
ven -man contest for the leader-
ship, the Huron member played
an energetic part, and he is
now regarded as a likely mem-
ber for the reorganized team
which will take over the direc-
tion . of Ontario's government
under a new team leader.
"In any cabinet responsibility
he may be assigned, the popu-
lar member for Huron is like-
ly to do his country credit,"
concludes the editorial,
"No strings"—MLA
Contacted this week, the Hu-
ron MLA said he did not wish
to comment on the specula -
lens. He indicated, however,
there were "no sk4rings whatso-
ever attached" to 'his «partici-
pation in Mr. Roberts' coin*
paign,
gn,
"1 supported him because I
felt he was the best man for,
the job, that's all.."
Commenting on the conven-
tion itself, Mr. MacNaughton
said "it's the greatest thing
whichhas ever happened to our
party"
The outstanding feature, he
stated, was the democratic way
in which, the leader was chosen.
"The fact that the election
went to six ballots was evi-
dence of that," he said. There
was no indication of any "party
machin e".
Like most others who attend-
ed~`;i.he zfortventuon, he' was
strong in his praise of Elmer
D. Bell, QC, provincial presi-
dent, for the impartial and
firm manner in which he con-
ducted the contest.
