Is North Huron - Non
"Machine
bythe Machine ?"
To the Editor of Tye 1.050:
DEAR Sla,-1 see by the press that the
arrangements made lest Summer by the
Organizer ot the Conserystive party for
Ontario with A. H. Musgrove and tew
Conservatives of Wingham has been
ratified by the Whitney Government
and by the Conservatives ce North Her-
on at their Convention last Thursday by
patting A. H. Musgrove in the field as
the Conservative candidate.
For the past year the Conservatives
of Wingham, at least a few of .them,
have been laying scixemes 1ur the over-
throw of Jas. Bowman, wbo was selected
by the Conservatives of East Huron as
their candidate, in fact he was the only
one who would face the Music even if he
had been defeated at the previous elec-
tion,
At the Convention a candidate was
also selected for the Commons but while
after it, he did not accept, giving sever-
al reasons For not theu accepting but the
real reason looks as it he was laying a
trap for Mr. Bowman to fall into which
be did and be did not accept either
leaving it partly an open question so
that the Conservative of Wingbam could
say he did not accept.
The next move was to get the County
gerrymandered so a riding coild be
formed with Wingham as near the center
as possible so tbey could have the, most
influence. At that time they had a
young ambitious defeatedclindidate who
was stili looking for honors and he
thought with such a riding he could' be
elected by legislation if not by the Votes
of the people, as be knew that even his
father looked on defeat as the fate 01 the
family and such it was in both East and
West Huron and even in East Huron
for the Commons tbe lay out teas framed
by the said Dr. now of Goderieb, as
what he considered as a Conservative
seat and whicb he expected to get at
the first Convention but the party , stood
by Mr. Farrow and he was againthe
candidate, The Dr. had a fling at it
later after Mr. Farrow was defeated by
Dr, MacDonald but bis fate followed
hint and he was defeated by something
like 400.
As soon as the Conservative party got
into power in Ontario the doctor was
again planning, as he in the past has
been an adept at gerrymandering and as
Mr. Either, of the South, wanted his
riding made a sure thing (as he has been
there for some years and even bis Con-
servative friends look for a change and
are beginning to think he should step
aside and give some else a chance and
this Either knows) so with Silber in the
South, Dr, Holmes in the Center aud the
Wingham pe,rple after a change finding
1. P. Whitney an easy mark for such
work, notwithstanding his strong pro.
testations to the contrary, he carved the
County as we now have it. Mr. Whitney
says it was not done for political effect,
but it was uamed by the patties I have
meutioued last Summer,
and the

was only a farce, as it was arranged in

it was only made law there. .
