ATX4 EY - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1948 • THE BY-ELECTION CAMPAIGN ITH official nominations for. the Huron. Provincial by-election only a liable more than two weeks away and polling a few days over three weeks distant, bitterest in the campaign i,s Starting to warm up throughout the riding. "The Progressive Conservatives have nominated Thomas Pryde, Exeter, the Liberals,, Benson W. Tuckey, from the same village, and it appears as if itwill be • a straight fight, unless the CCF or some other party steps In at the last moment. As the days go by, that seems to the more and more a remote possibility. The Editor of The NEWS -RECORD "covered" both party nominating conventions held in the Town Hall, Hen- eall, on Wednesday and Friday afternoons of last week. Their sponsors considered both gatherings highly success- ful, the hall being filled to capacity both times, despite the most unfavorable winter weather prevailin'g. That •would seem to indicate considerable interest on the part of the public, and certainly, on the part of ,the loyal party sup- porters themselves. There was one highly commendable and encouraging' note running through both conventions — a note of praise for and appreciation of the late Dr. R. Hobbs Taylor, Whose sudden death on December 17 occasioned the calling of the by-election. Some very fine tributes to they memory were paid at both conventions, and one might wish that the popular doctor had been there to hear them himself. A significant feature of the meetings was the en- tire absence of rancour on the part of any of the speakers. and the tendency on the part of both sides to enter this campaign with flags and banners flying, but to leave it with escutcheons untarnished, no matter who is the victor on Monday, February 16. That is a most commendable Spirit, and no doubt it will continue until polling day. It is a well-known fact that both candidates live in the same community, work together for the good ofthat community, are on the very best of business terms, and in fact, are great personal friends. This is one good reason why personalities should be and can be avoided. And our personal observation, from some knowledge of the two mezi is that Huron riding will the well l represented in the Ontario Legislature, no matter who is fortunate enough to win. 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today — Every anon is the centre, of a circle, whose fatal circumference he cannot pass. 0 In taking over the horse shed of Wesley -Wale nited Church, Clinton Town Council is making ng a move 'ell should benefit greatly our rural friends.
