When President Peter Scott called
the annual convention of North Hur-
on Conservatives to order in Wing-

he viewed a scene that must have

of him was a hall completely:' filled
with representatives, ladies as wellas

ceptions. And in addition to the ac
credited delegates, there were equally

George W. •:Spotton'termed himself
a perennial or perhaps an annual in
the crop of political aspirants, and in
his opening remarks paid a glowing
and sincere tribute to the late John
W: King, who, while a vigorous fight-
er, never allowed leis political views
to interfere with his personal rela-
tionships. He then briefly referred to
the different battles he had fought
for the party in 1921, 1925 and 1926,.
and had given way on two previous
occasions. In 1925 he held a solid
phalanx of Conservatives in Huron
when the Progressives swept the
country, and now that political con-
ditions were more ,,normal he asked
for one more chance. He did not
plead sentiment nor through sympa-
thy, but as a right to fight the Con-
servative battle on more equal con-
ditions. Mr. Spotton denied there
was any real contention between
Wingham and Goderich, quoting fig-
ures, to show that on different elec-
tions the electors of these places had
been justly generous. to him and to

the enclosure were orchestras, the
one at the south playing the pop alar
music for the younger set to dance
to modern steps, while at the north

proper music for the old-time dances.
And it must be saki that each orches-
tra had about an evenly divided num-
ber of admirers. While the younger,
