NORTH HURON UNITED FARMERS DECIDE AGAINST PLACING
A CANDIDATE IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS BY VOTE OF 26 TO 18
Charges that the tleiberals.had:Pack-
ed the convention last °cue. -
bee and kept the farmers front putt-
ing their :own candidate in the field
were Made here Friday afternoon at
the annual meeting of the United -
Farmers'. political association , of
Norde Pinron. The meeting was
strongly urged by ,soine of its Most
inflaential offiCers. and :Stmportere to
Imes it resolution endorsing the atedi-
dature of George Spot:tone Censerva-
tiveomeneber of Parliament. Active
and violent resistance to Liberal
domination in the riding was evidept
and charges were reiterated that the
Liberals, had not treated the U.F.O.'
as they should have done; and ' others
stated that it would be only just .ancl
proper at this time to officially sup-
port the Conservative candidate. -
After a great deal of aarintonious.
discussion the convention finally de-
cided not to place a candidate in the
field ..for rite :federal eleredion and to
allow each member Of the U.F,O,
in-
clividual liberty of voting, •The tem-
per of the I -Electing obviously was hos-
tile to the Liberals and W. A. Carrie,
of East-Weavanoeh, remarked: "If we
pett a man in the field. Mr. Spotton
will be elected. Justlet's vote for
him instead. It is a much simpler
,and less expensive method,"
Mr. Currie et -aided the fireworks by
urging the U.F.O. to go on record
in favor of Me. SpOtton and it this
he was supported by William Ruther-
ford, newly elected secretary -treas-
urer of the organization., ,
"We owe the Liberal party no-
thing,' declared Mr, Rittherford.
"That party has not need tis as we
deserved to be used by them after
supporting their candidate. It is only
just that we should support the Con-
eerVatiVe candidate -now. The Con-
Serval:lye federally are Inst as good
ftom our point of Vie* as the Liber-
als, and now the Liberals have even
adopted the Conservettive platform,
Mr. SpOtton since he has been a mem-
ber has worked in the interests ,of the
people Of North Huron as it whole,
He has tiot been hide -hound by parLe
ter."
*10P.•
Oliver Turnbull, Grey Township,
thought it should be left to the indi-
vidual as to how he should vote. He
was opposed to placing a candidate
in the field.
Mrs. George Lane, who seid that
she had been brought Up a staunch
Conservative, said that the U.F.O.
now had a chance of asserting its in-
dependence of the old parties, Which
they might not have again end she
thought some definite action shotild.
be taken, The U.F.O.should at least,
she thought, have the privilege of
nominating- a candidate • ";,
Mr. Carrie wanted' to know wheee
the campaign funds would come from,:
but Mrs:. Lane did not Seem to think
they Were necessary.
Mrs. Olivet. Idenders011, Worpan dir-
ector of the provincial U P0 body,
said that the 11.13.0. in the last Pro-
vincial election had Supported a sec-
ond-rate ,temperance 1411 (Charles
Robertson, M,L.A.,) when they might
have had their own .candidate, :Lib-
erels had peeked the U.F.O.: convert. -
tion cind aeked municipalitychairmen
for credentials as 13,1',0, men, but
had vetted against a U.F,O, candidate
because they had been influenced by
the provincial Liberal :party. ,
"That's how we wove- pelt in the de-
plorable position in 'which we find
ourselves to -day," she: charged.
The same 'charges were made by
Mr, Rutherford, who said that there
had been more :Liberals than LI.F,O.
delegates at the U.P.O., convention
last fell. '
Robert J. Scott answered charges
that there was "outside control" of
the .U.F.Oriding associations. This
was emphatically not the case. There
was ,complete riding autonomy and
the candidate merely sttbscribed to
the U.F.O. polititeal cot-nen-hi:cc plat-
form if he was Asked td do So by
the tiding executive and, this situa-
tion had occurred' in the north riding
of ,litiron.
Charges of "Packing" referred to
the conveetion held here laet
When it Was decided not to put
is candidate to 'contest the riding with
Charles Robertson,: -Libetal, and Dr,
5. R. Whitely, Goderich, Conserva-
tive. IVItich to the surprise of the U.
F. -p. organization, which wanted to
contest the seat, the meeting decided
against it and the irregularities which
they feel they have traced to Liberal
headquarters were di -covered when it
was to late to clo anything about
them, Another reason for the hot
resentment of U.F.O. and Progress-
ives in this riding is that at the re-
cent Liberal nomination meeting here
when W. H. Robertson, Goderich
editor, was chosen candidate, the Lib-
erals practically ordered the Progres-
sives to stay out of the field.
The quarrel, which is deep seated,
goes back even further than that. ln
1927 when John Xing, Progressive
M.P., died, the L',E0, asked the Lib-
erals to let a Progressive finish out
the term of Parliameet, but the Grits
refused. The Conservatives at that
tune were willing lo reserve their re-
sources for it general election, so that
the Liberal action in causing a three -
cornered contest had been held by
the U.F.O. to have been •responsible
for the disrupting et their political
