That's the general reaction et observers polled by The Times- Advocate imeAdvocate this week. Most were reluctant to predict outcome of the battle because of the appar- ent indifference .et voters. "The public doesn't seem very interested," Returning :Offieer 3, Elgin McKinley said Wednesday night. Re expects a large turnout at the polls, however. "I think there will be a good vote. Both parties seem well pre- pared for election day. They'll bring out a lot •of voters." Huron riding recorded one et the outstanding voting percent- ages of the province in the fast election, Eighty percent of the electors turned out at the polls in comparison -to, the 49 percent average of the province. There are approximately 18,125 el$ 1bi nth s el ction Compared to 51. Opinion. of most observers in this area who would hazard a prediction on the election favors re-election of Tom Pryde in Hu- ron and the Progressive Conserv- ative onservative government at Queen's Park but with reduced . majorities. But"almost all those question- ed by The Times -Advocate were quick to say: "Anything can hap- pen." Estimates for Huron varied, of course, from a sweeping majority for Pryde to an upset victory by the Liberal candidate Jim Scott. Most, however, saw a close bat- tle with Mr. Scott trimming the 1,500 margin. Pryde received in 1951. Some felt the quietness of the election indicated satisfaction with the government and the local representative. Liberals,. however, are hoping the vote of the undecided will swing their way. The T -A poll was taken at ran- dom during the past three days. Major campaign activity of, the parties in Huron this past week was the distribution of direct mail pieces to all voters. Progress- ive Conservatives mailed out a tabloid newspaper, entitled "The Pryde • Press," which cited the accomplishments of the Frost government and its 'assistance to Huron municipalities. The Libe., rals countered with a post card. indicating to each voter the loca- tion of Ms polling booth along with a campaign message.
