"'The pollsters say vire haven't got a chancea,.Muybe we know something about the Bruce and the people of the Bruce that the polls. doit't knoW," Halpin said tO a full towu hall. "iViugay Elston isn't going to decide (who .wiins)... he people of Bruce are going to decide.' "If Murray Elston is reelected in brace county were going to have regional government in Bruce County," Halpin said. "Regional government is big and in politics big is expensive." . Halpin, who lives near Hanover ands owns a cabin in Bruce county, said "If rim elected, we have al, ready picked out the house we will be living in Bruce county." A former school board trustee, Halpin, attacked the Liberal government of David Peterson for rising education taxes and policy demands such as junior kindergar- ten. "Junior kindergarten is not a substitute for day care," he said. Halpin targeted the Liberal record on Sunday shopping, car insurance, government spending and Peter- son's call for an early election.• you agree that has is an 'un- necessary election why would yon vote fo;z ibat man and his can- didates?" Halpin asked. `"I'rn of- fended this , election was called at this time." family day is more important than adding' rive more hours to a 72 -hour work week," Halpin aid. "The people who work in those stores, they're single parents, people who don't . have a lot of economic Ofi cloud." government spending Halpin said "inflation comes from Ontario and most of that money comes from Me government." Halpin, 59, came tollanover in 1962 and moved to Brant township in 1968. fie lived there until 1986 before moving just outside of Hanover. Nowa lawyer with Barker and Halpin, he was a law clerk for almost five years before going back to law . school in 1975. ' Halpin entered the University of Western Ontario at the same time he had children attending the school. Halpin says he owes his law career to wife Rita Halpin. "If it wasn't for her 1 never could have done it...I would not be a lawyer today. I would not be a candidate today either," he said. Candidate for the nomination Robert Campbell spoke in favour of tradition and 'rural values,' "the qualities the Liberal government is working hard to take away from you. NSP candidate targets "broken promises" by Tim Cumming Port Elgin's Len Hope was called "caring, compassionate, sincere and hard-working" by Nova Scotia leader Alexa McDonough after Hope was acclaimed as the Bruce NDP nominee August 7. Hope accepted the NDP nomination and attacked the provin- cial Liberal government on issues of pensions, no-fault insurance, free trade, and the Goods and Services Tax. . "David Peterson and the Liberals are hoping everyone of you will forget there's an election," Hope told a full hall at the Canadian Auto workers family education centre. "Something controversial today is the GST..the (Ontario) treasurer says it's a feasible thing to do," Hope said. Economists say the liberals will "lead the way" on implementation of the GST, accor- ding'to Hope. "I want you to think about the broken promises," Hope told the crowd of NDPers. "He promised he would lower insurance rates, did he do that? No, Peterson said he would veto the (free trade) agreement unless con- ditions were met," Hope charged. "Reducing the size of classes from 30 down to 20 students...did they do that? No." Dental care promises were not met, Hope said. "Murray Elston removed the right, in most circumstances, for anybody to sue," Hope said of the new in- surance legislation spearheaded by Elston. New Democrat supporters were told not to rule out an NDP win in Bruce by Nova Scotia party leader Alexa McDonough. "Anything is possible when there are so many evident reasons not to support the old-line parties," she said. "I was elected with 40 per cent of the popular vote...18 months prior I had only received 14 per cent of the vote from the electorate," she said, noting the Bruce NDP had gained 14.9 per cent of the provincial tally in the last election. "I think thee are some striking similarities to the scandal -ridden government of John Buchanan to the recent record of the short-lived Peterson government," she said. "You may not have the toilet -seat scandal but the Pattigate affair and bungling of waste disposal stink at least as much." "People in Ontario were expecting much more than a 'change in the faces feeding at the public trough...promised much more than (former premier) Bill Davis in a red tie," McDonough said. "It appears that's what they've gotten." The NDP leader said the Peterson minority government initiated progressive legislation due to the influence of the Ontario NDP. "I was shocked to learn of the number of hungry, homeless people who live right here in Bruce Boun- ty," McDonough said in reference to Hope's reference to seasonal and temporary workers forced to live in tents and barns.

Between 80 and 90 people attended the FCP nomination meeting, held Thursday, Aug. 9, at the Walkerton Agricultural Hall. "Wow," said Louis DiRocco, of Toronto, president of the provincial FCP, of the turnout. "I wonder how many people the other parties have out?"
