At present on a campaign tour of the entire county, Mr. Cardiff especially scored the Liberals on waste. With the party having a large majority, in the House of Commons ever since the last elec- tion, he said, "you can readily see how easy it is for the government to do whatever it wishes -whether it is right or wrong." As an example of extravagance, he cited Prime Minister St. Laeir- ent's house. He claimed the gov- ernment bought a $40,000 house and it "wasn't worth that much." Then there were renovations made. "Before they were through it cast $700,000.00 Mr. Cardiff said it cost $10,000 to sod„ the lawn at the- Prime Min- ister's home. "The new hospital at Exeter cost less than $300,000" he claimed. "It cost them, about $2,000 to spd the -lawn at the hos- pital and it is about half as big as the Prime Minister's." Then, he charged, because the Prime Min, ister did not like one room of the house; it was renovated at a cost of another $10,000. "That's one item that we consider was a lot of waste and extravagance." he said; More Than Needed The Liberal government, he said, won't admit any extravagance. He claimed the government collectbd, one million dollars a day more than what was needed. "The peopleare in ,the driver's seat now," said .Mr. Cardiff. "It want the Liberal type of govern- ment in power again. Mr. Drew said he could save five hundred million dollars, and if he said e could do that, there is nota shadow of a doubt in my mind that it can be done." As a result of the redistribution of ridings, Mr. Cardiff is contest g the Huron seat against A. Y. McLean, Liberal MP in the last House. Qn the redistribution question,. Mr. Cardiff claimed that the Lib- erals tried to eliminate from the House any farmer who was repre- senting the Conservatives. "It is the government's privelege to change ridings to suit itself." he claimed. "They eliminated one member in Huron and it was my hide they were after." _ No Consideration When the election was called for August 10, he said "they (the Lib- erals) did It to eliminate all the votes they possibly could. They knew many people would be away from home on vacations.
