Nixon, MPP for the riding of Brant, announced last week, that he will not be a candi- date for the leadership of the party at its next convention. The announcement was made to the annual meeting of the Ontario Liberal Association and came as a surprise to most of the dele- gates attending the gathering in Ottawa. As the titular head of the party since 1967, Mr. Nixon has been the. leader of the official Opposi- tion in the Ontario legislature. His reason for withdrawing from the leadership was, con- cise. "The people have shown in 1967 and in 1971," he said,' "that my particular qualities de not precisely fill. the bill." He was referring,of course, to the two elections since he assumed leadership of the party, in both of which the Progressive Conservative' party gained com- manding majorities. , Mr. Nixon, a one-time school. teacher, presently carries on a • farming ,operation in Brant County. 'He did indicate that he might seek re-election as.a mem- ber of the Ligislature but would not be a candidate for the leader- ship. The constitution of the party makes a leadership contest man- datory within two years. The present leader suggested that the convention would not be held until after the expected 'federal election which is generally ex- pected to be held this spring or early summer. No particularly strong con- tenders for the leadership of the n party are at present in evidence, nor did Mr. Nixon give any indi- cation of, his thinking in this re- gard.
