W. H. GOLDING WINS
IN HURON -PERTH,
PLURALITY 3,256
10,784 Ballots Cast Out of
Possible 14,667, Re-
turns Show.
TWO LOSE DEPOSITS
' Incre,as.ed majorities in practically
every 'polling subdivision marked the
return of W. H. Golding, as Liberal
member for Huron -Perth in Men -
day's election, as_ he rolled pee re-
- cord pkaimalfty of 3,2586.
The first report to reach his com-
mittee rooms was that of No. 6, Sea -
forth, giving him 17 more votes than
the other two c•andidat.era combined.
From then on the issue was never in
doubt and it was only a matter of
how big the plurality would be.
Mr. Golding secured more than
the combined votes, of his two oppon-
ents in nine of the twelve munici-
palities in the riding. He had a
plurality in every Municipality ex-
cept Exeter, which gave Frank Don-
nelly, Conservative candidate, 59.
'Hibbert and Fullerton, the new
townships a•drled to make up the rid-
ing •of Huron -Perth, both increased
the Liberal majority, Hibbert giving
Mr. Golding 455 plurality, and Ful-
lartorf 264. In. 1930 Mr. 'Sanderson's
majority in the former was 245 and
in the latter 45.
According to unofficial returns,
10,784 votes were cast out of a pos-
sible 14,667, or slightly ower 71 per
cent.
In the Dominion as a whole it is
estimated about 55 per cent. of the
possible voters exercised their fran-
chise. '
In 1932, out ,of a possible vote of
14,430, some 12,148 ballots were cast.

BIG PERTH VOTE
A pleasant event took place at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Mac-
Donald, 'Concession 3, Tuckersmith,
on Wednesday afternoon, October 9,
when a nunviier of friends gave a
miscellaneous shower for their sec-
ond daughter, Jean, who was married
on Saturday, October 12,, to Mr. Nel-
son Pfaff, son of Mr, and •Mrs. John
Pfaff, also of Tuckersmith.
The presentation was made by Miss

bourne read the address which was

S. C. I. PRINCIPAL
NAMED PRESIDENT
District Ontario Secondary
School Teachers Federa-
tion Meets Here.
Mr. G. A. Ballantyne, principal of
the Seaforth Collegiate Institute, was
elected president of the district On-
tario Secondary School Teachers' Fed-
eration at a meeting held here on
Saturday with a record attendance of
over 50 members.
Technical addresses and business
matters occupied the meeting during
its sessions. Lunch was served by
the Mae Lane Auxiliary of North-
side United, Church.
The following officers were •elect-
ed: Past President, S. W. Hann,
Kitchener; President, G. A. Ballan-
tyne; ' e -President, Miss Marriott,
Mitchel ; Secretary -Treasurer, A.
, Vill•iar •, Forest; Councillor,. S. W.

of Kitchener, Continuation School
Representative, P. Farr, Milverton ;
Pubiiciey, E. S. Evans, Se Marys;
representatives, A. Scutt, Goderich;
Miss Gregory, Stratford.
Delegates were .'present from God-
erich, Clinton, Seaforth, Mitchell,
Stratford, Kitchener, Elmira, St.
Marys, 'Parkl1B, Forrest, New Ham-
burg, Milverton, i}Lensall.
Falling in line with other ridings
throug'h'out the • Dominion, North
Huron rejected George Spotton, its
representative since 1926, and elected
Re. J. :De'arhman;•--Liberal, by a plur-
ality of 629.
It was a nip and tuck battle
throughout the evening as the re-
turns started to flow in. First Mr.
Deachman would be leading by a few
votes and then Mr. Spotton would 'go
into the lead, but by 9 o'clock it was
easy to see that it was a victory for
the Liberal candidate.
W. J. Hendtirsbn, Reconstruction
cancdic''ate, was left far behind in the
race in its early stage:, polling only
1,6:"5 votes compared with Deach-
man's 6,500 and Spotton's 5,871.
The county town of Goderich
swung Liberal this year giving Deach-
man a majority of 69, 'while Mr. Slrot-
ton's . home town of Wingham gave
him a majority of 108. Mr. Spotton
ran strongly in the Town of Clinton,
polling' 559 votes as compared to
Deachman's •484. The majority of
the rural constituencies swung Lib-
eral, giving Deachman majorities or
narrow margins oyer Sr -ton. G•od-
erich Township gave Saotton a ma-
jority of 137 and he also gained a
rna•jority over Deachman in East
Wawanosh by the small margin of
18.
North H.unon has been the scene
of more than one close Federal elec.
tion fight. Mr. Spotton, in 1930, won
over W. H. Robertson by the rather
close majority of 233, polling 6,160
against Reberta'on's 5,927.
Sanderson Wins Perth
Perth returned its veteran Liberal
member, Fred G. Sanderson, with a
plurality of 5,208. Early returns in-
dicated his return, but when full re-
ports bad been received showing the
extent of his victory, enthusiasm
reached fever pitch and he was giv-
en a roaring welcome wherever he
appeared.

CARDNO'S HALL IS
CROWDED FOR DANCE
HURON VICTORS
Seaforth and Huron were no ex-
ception to 'other centres across Can-
ada when it came to celebrations on.
election 'night.
Shortly after seven o'clock a large
crowd was on Main Street eager for
results and as Mr. Golding's election
was conceded a short time later, en-
thusiasm heightened and the celebra-
tion really got under way.
The successful Liberal candidate
was given a splendid ovation as he
came from the committee rooms. He
was met'-Eiy "the Seafdrtii }Tigh1'aiid'e1•s-
Band and escorted along Main Street
followed by citizens in pars and on
foot.
Speaking to the crowd jammed in
front of Daly's Garage, Mr, Golding
expressed his thanks for the supper;
given him. He•was especially proud,
he said, of the returns from Hibbert,
his native township.
Mr. Frank Donnelly-, defeated Con-
scrc•a:ive candidate, was also present
and thanked the voters for their sup-
port.
Together with party stalwarts, Mr,
Golding then left for Zurich where a
similar celebration was in progress.
Throughout the evening Cardno's
Hall was filled to the,
with mer-
ry makers, young ,Liberals and young
Conservatives alike, forgetting the
strain of the election to tunes played
by Tony Farr and his oreheetra. Up -
or. his return, from Zurich )fr. Gold-
ing appeared at the hall for a short
time where another splendid recep-
tion was tendered' him.
The crowds, though large, were or-
derly. ' Citizens, regardless of politi-
cal affiliations, stood about the streets
discussing the events which had
swept the Liberal forces into office..
As rhe extent of the rout of the
Bennett Government became fully re-
alized, there were many who adnlit-
ed they had foreseen it happen. Bu:
those who were not surprised by the
poor' Reconst•ructaonist showing were
few and far between.
Over 2,000 people were in the vil-
lage on Monday evening to take part
in the celebration over the victory of
the Liberal party in the Huron -Per n
riding and the triumph of Hon. \V
L. M. King in the Dominion of Can-
