The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1961-08-31, Page 8Page 0 The Times-Advocata, August 31 1961 Interested in politics? .Conservativ ,..holtds riding record Of the 29 provincial elections held in this area since 1867, When, the first legislative as- $emblY Was formed in Ontario, the Conservatives have won 15, the Liberals 11. The Progressive party cap- tured two and the United Far - niers of Ontario was success - Ail in one. This information is revealed in "A Statistical History of all' the Electoral Districts of the Province of Ontario s in c e 1867," a 350 -page book com- piled by Roderick Lewis, chief electoral officer. Henry Eilber,. the Crediton Conservative, holds the distinc- tion of serving the greatest length a time, He served 21 years and nine months from • March 1, 1898, to Oct. 20, 1919. Second ie this regard was Archibald Bishop, who first won a by-election in Oct., 1873, and remained in office until June 26, 1894, a total of 20 years, nine months. The largest. margin of victory was won by Liberal James Ballantyne in 1934 when his plurality over two other can- didates was 2,281. Second lar- gest was Dr. R. Hobbs Taylor's majority of 1,929 in 1945. 1945. , Narrowest victory was the '10 -vote majority secured by Ro- bert Gibbons, Liberal, in the first election of 1867. Later that same year, however, his oppo- nent Isaac Carling was seated on petition. In 1873, Mr, Bishop won his by-election with a slim 14 votes over the Conservative candi- date, G. Case. In making these eompari sons, however, it must be noted that the size of the rid- ing has been changed six times even though it has had only two designations. From 1867 until 1933, it was known as Hu- ron South. Since then, it has been designated simply Huron. In the first distribution, the county was split roughly in two with the dividing line north of the town of Goderich. In 1874 three ridings were created in the county. The 1933 redistri- bution brought most of the county, all but that north of Goderich, into a single riding.
