Enthusiastic Meeting 0 f
Huron Liberals,. Prepare
For June 7th Provincial
Election.
Frank Finglan K 'Clinton law-
yer, was the unanimot,s^choice of a
nominating convention; of the Huron
LIberal Association held in Hensall
Wednesday evening, and attended by
more than 400 persons ' representing
every section of the riding. He will
contest the riding of Huron an behalf
of the Liberal party, in the forthcom-
ing provincial election on June 7,
Albert Kalbfleisch, president of the
Huron Liberal Association, was in
charge of the meeting.
Others nominated but who with-
drew to make Mr. Fingland the un-
animous choice of the convention
were: Albert Kalbfleiseh, Zurich; Roy
Ratz, Stephen Township; A. Y. 'Mc-
Lean, Seaforth; Mayor' A. J. McMur-
ray, Clinton; J. Kenneth Hunter,
Goderich; Gordon McOavin, McKillop
Township, and Benson Tuckey, Reeve
of Exeter. who was defeated by Thos.
Pryde in the Huron riding by-election
last February.
In accepting the nomination, Mr.
Fingland defied Premier George Drew -
to reveal the content&.of the report
of the Royal Commission on educa-
tion, which Mr. Fingland claimed, is
now ready and is 1ydng unopened in.
Queen's Park.
"I defy, Mr. Drew," .he said; "to
make known. the findings of this•, com-,
mission, which he appointed 'himself
before June 7."
In paying tribute to Farquhar Oli-
ver, Mr. Fingland said there was one
plant. in the Liberal platform which
he admired greatly. That is, he said,
Mr. Oliver's promise to co-operate
with the King Government at Odtawa.
"Are we a country, or a bun h of
Balkan provinces?" he asked, "The
Kir g Governnxent has done more to
unify Canada than any Government
since Confederation. Mr. Drew's, chief
delight is to snipe at the King Gov-
e'rnst at a time when co-operation
is badly- needed, That is the real is-
sue, not Hydro. .
Hugh Hill. Liberal —candidate.. -in
Huron -Bruce, said that the sudden
calling of an, election indicated that
"Mr. Drew knows he's on the way
out. He warn]. t forced to call this
election and he' knows that if he bad
remained in office for his full term he
rvouY have no chance to win,"
C. 3. F. Ross, a member of the ex-
ecutive of the Western Ontario Lib-
eral Association, and "a prominent
London Libera!, was guest speaker.
Mr, Ross dwelt at length on a recent
a"(,dress by Provincial Treasurer Les-
lie Frost, in which Mr. Frost said the
three -cent gasoline t,tx collected by
the Ontario Government, is being paid
to municipalities in the form of larg-
er grants.
'Mr. Ross said he -had • investigatea
these grants, and found they were
either smaller or exactly the same as
previously. He also referred to the,
coalition of highways in the district.'
terming them "deplorable," and ex-
pressing displeasure that,•s•ome of the
money collected in gasoline tax was
not csed for road repair.
