Voters Have
New Choice in Huron
When Huron voters go to the polls
on November 8th to select their re-
presentative in the House of Commons,
for the first time in•sixteen years, they
will have a choice of candidates, both
of whom are facing the electorate for
the first time.
This situation came about with the
announcement over the weekend that
Elston Cardiff, the sitting Conserva-
tive member, was retiring from public
life.
Facing each other in the vote battle
will be at least two candidates in their
mid -thirties, representative of .a gen-
eration that has grown up during the
years Mr. Cardiff. has sat in the House.,
The Liberal candidate is Maitland
Edgar, born on a farm in Morris Town-
ship; -and since 19— a teacher in Clin-
ton area schools, is thirty-six. His
Conservative opposition, Robert ,Mc-
Kinley, of Zurich, is 37.
While no decision has. been taken,
possibility that a NDP^ -candidate will
enter the field is seen with the an-
nouncement that a nominating conven-
tion will be held • next week.
Mr. Cardiff's retirement brings to
an end a career which began in 1940,
when he. was first elected to the House
of Commons. Re-elected in 1945 and.
199; -he was successful again in 1953..
This election followed the 1952 redis-
tribution, when a portion of the riding
of • Huron -Perth was joined with the
riding Mr. Cardiff represented to cre-
' ate the new riding of Huron. • Mr.
Cardiff, now 76, who last year marked
the., completion of twenty-five years in
the Commons, has continued to repre-
sent Huron since that time.
As the election campaign generates
discussion of the issues, it becomes in-
creasingly clear that there was no
A Macduff Ottawa Report
alternative to the vote. Canada as a
nation must get down to business and
make the decisions that must be made
if its destiny is to be fulfilled. The
bickering and factious 'Obstruction that
has characterized the opposition role
in Parliament during the past two
years demands too great a price in
terms of Canada's future to permit it
to continue.
Mr. Pearson, heading a minority
government at the mercy of a combin-
ed opposition, had no alternative to
seeking a clear majority, and voters
are entitled to say whether they wish
to give it.
And in Huron they will have the
opportunity, unfettered by past habit
or practise, to choose between new
candidates, Mr. Edgar standing for
continued implementation of Liberal
policies, which have contributed so
greatly to Canada's economic well-be-
ing, and Mr. McKinley, who endorses
the policies of the Diefenbaker Conserv-
atives.
While it is true there may be a third
candidate in Huron, the only choice
for those who want stability and an
end—at least for a few years—to elec-
tions, must rest between the two al-
ready nominated. Any other vote is
a vote for another spell of 'minority
government.

Remember when one of the greatest

Election Pace Is Stepping Up
OTTAWA — The leaders • of
the political parties in Canada
are off and running hard in the
general election campaign.
Prime Minister Pearson for-
,ma11y launched the Liberal
campaign when he delivered the
key -note address to a rally of
Liberal candidates in Ottawa.
It was a poised confident Pear-
son that set the pattern for the
Liberal campaign. When he was
finished his audience gave him
a standing ovation, cheering
him, not only for the content
of his speech but for his im-
proved manner of delivery. He
looked and sounded like a lead-
er.
National Conservative Lead-
er John Diefenbaker flew into
Toronto earlier to attend a pic-
nic at Oakville- that had been
arranged to celebrate his 70th
birthday. Despite a heavy rain
he laced into the Liberals in a
hard hitting speech. He came
down hard on . the scandals
which he said had marked the
Liberal administration and then
he flew. out to Prince Albert
for his nomination convention,
Out there he again pounded
hard on the scandal theme;
emphasizing that whatever else
his critics might say about the
Diefenbaker Government they
had to admit that he provided
"honest" administration. H e
won hearty applause.
New Democratic Party Lead-
er T. C. Douglas has accused
the Prime Minister' of trying to
"film' Ram" the Canadian peo-
ple in the reasons the Liberals
are giving for calling the ' No-
vember 8 election. He has de-
scribed the Prime Minister as
"departing from statesmanship
and descending to opportunism"
by going to the people at this
. time. Douglas is confident that
many voters will say "a plague
on both, your houses" to the
two old line parties and vote
for .the NDP. This seems tobe
borne out by a recent Gallup
Poll. .
The poll found that more
- ; than twice as many voters think
the •NDP will gain seats in the
'election, as ' expect -the Social-
ists to suffer losses. This, con-
viction is strongest in Ontario.
'Social. Credit Leader Robert
:.Thompson is hitting Iaard on
the theme of freedom of the

TO THE EDITOR
Noise
Problem
Sir: In the account• bf the
last council meeting I was sur-
prised to see the attitude the '
council took towards a petition
that had been sent in by one
of the citizens of the town.
Surely if there were 60 signa-
tures on the .petition they
wouldn't have signed it unless
they had a complaint.
There are two members on
the council that lives on Main
Street and Goderich Street. 11
they don't hear the noise they
must be good sound sleepers.
If any of the other members
of council would care to come
up town from midnight on to
the wee small hours on week-
ends they might see why there
should be an anti -noise bylaw.
There should also be a curfew
so that the police could send
anyone off the streets after cer-
tain .hours.
Surely the_ council will re-
consider this petition and do
something ,before there is a
serious accident, with all the
speeding, throwing bottles,
rocks, etc.
