The Liberals, of course, say that ;he country was tired of Bennett and tis policies and teak the first opium. :unity to turn him out, and it is mite evident that they did not want ;o continue the government in pow- :o The .Conservatives so far have not just figured out what was the :rouble; but they knew they were ,eaten, In' North ' Reece, in which Clinton incl Goderich township, for the first eine, are included, the. Conservative, -eorge S•potton, Was defeated after representing the riding for three ;erma, by a Liberal, a comparative stranger in the riding, although a iative of the county,. Mr. R. J. leachlhan. Both men are good plat• 'oras speakers and each conducted a epirited eainpaign., The Stevens can lidate, Mr. W, J. Henderson, palled a ,mall vote, iivhich, if they happened o be all Conservative, would, have urned the scale in .Spotton's favor. rhis na doubt aceurred in several of he tidings. ' of what was the old South Huron riding with the exception of Clinton and, Goderich township, and some of Perth, gave Mr. Golding, the sitting member, a majority rover all. Mr. Golding was opposed by Mr. Frank Donnelly, a Goderich lawyer, and Mr. R. McMillan of Seaforth. Mr. Donnelly entered. the campaign cath. er late but put up a good fight and, for a young man, polled a very good vote. Mr. McMilian, a former U.F. 0. candidate, accepted the Recon - stzuction nomination but he also pal - led a rather small viote, although a bit larger than the North 'Huron man. Clinton usually gives a rather good Conservative majority, Mr.Elliott having a majority here in the by -el- eaten in 1932 •of between two. and three hundred, but this' time the Cohservative only had a .majority of seventy-five. Of course Mr. Elliott wa15 a local man, 'Goderich township, too, fell clown in its majority to the Conservative. As was to be expected the victor- ious party did a bit of celebrating and Clinton did not fall far short of other paints when it came to that. The victorious candidate came down from Wlingham later in the evening, was met by a torchlight procession, headed by the Pipe Band, and es - corted up town, where an effigy of the defeated candidate was burned and the •successful one made a speech and thanked his electors for rt iiuron•Perth, which takds, in all (Continued on page 4) THE MARKETS WIheat, 78e.

Anyway a multiplic- ity of years does not seem, to mean much to some people. For instance, Mrs. Mary Madge, aged ninety-three, who resides with her niece, Mas. George Campbell of Stanley town- ship,' went out en Monday and east her vote, "even as you and I." And that vote was every bit as 'good as that cast by the prime minister. In fact it may have been a vote against him. NEW THEATRE BUILDING Work has commenced on the new picture theatre just across the streec from this office.

A report of a meeting• con le weeks a of to 1past is t p s no news. It is just as easy bit send in a report right after a meeting as it is to do it a week or so after, and it then is - j welcome in a newspaper office, where- as the impulse is to fling a late re- port in the wastepaper basket. We like to have the news, but we like. it When it is news, not when it is atsc-• fent history. ADVERTISING FOR MECHANIC !• A. recent writer in The London: Flee Press quotes the following acs- ' vertisentent which appeared in an is- sue of the 1-luron ,herald, published' lei Goderich in November 1850: l "An excellent opening for a good' n-agost-maker will at present be I found in the rising village of Clin- ton, situated at the junction of the roads •leading from Hamilton ant' London to Goderich, and being' 1B miles distant from the latter. Thi, village is surrounded by the most prosperous settlement in the Huron Tract, and already promises to be - cane a place of some importance.,. There are now several tradesmen int it, and a good workman in the above - line will assuredly meet with Meal: encouragement. For further partl. eulars application may be made Co. Barclay Lavin, blacksmith; Clinton,.. who will 'cheerfully give aasietasrce• to the person wishing to oominenee • wagon -snaking its the above named'. Village." Whether in answer to this at'fver= tisement or not, Clinton hetet had some good wagon-mskees, the last one who actually built buggies, wa- gons, etc., being the late Frederick. Ruiitball, But Mr. H. D. Cameron, tstill runs the shop kept by the late John Leslie and he probably could' build a wagon, if he had to, anyway" he mends many of them for sur- rounding farmers. But wagon -mak- ing by individual workers is a thing - of the past. Things have change(/' a lot in 85 years. W. H.
