North Huron Liberals,
(Press report from Wingham)
At a well attended convention of
North Huron Liberals, held in the
Town Hall, Wingham, Tuesday after-
noon, with President, Isbister in the
chair, W. H. Kerr, editor of THE
BRUSSELS POST, was tendered the
unanimous nomination. Iu a short
speech Mr. Kerr accepted the nomi-
nation and asked the electors present
10i e
g v him their hearty support in
the coming election. Mr. Kerr will
make a strong candidate as he is well
known in nearly every part of the
riding, as North Huron with the
exception of West Wawanosh and
Ashfield is practically East Huron.
Mr. Kerr was for over 25 years secre-
tary of the .East Hurorr Liberal Asso-
ciation. He was for many years reeve
of Brussels, midis also an ex -warden
of Huron County. North Huron is a
Conservative riding, but the Liberals
areoin into this g
fight with a
deter-
mination urination to send a supporter of Mr.
Rowell to Toronto.
The very en-
thilsiastic convention was a
s brought to
a close with rousing cheers for Leader
Rowell and the candidate. -
