' him a suing ovation` as .he
concluded a vigorous accept -

"If anybody thinks -there is no
Wight left in these old bones
they will find out." Mr. Cardiff,
72, said: "I 'have no fear" With
regard to the election; I never
worry about votes. If you look
after your constituents you
don't have to worry about.
votes." He predicted the re-
turn of Prime Minister 'Diefen-
haker and added: "There is ne
body to take his place right
now, andhe has done a good
job."
Mr. Cardiff's name was pro-
posed by James Donnelly and
Mrs. May Mooney, Goderich,
who as the candidate remarked
;later, had done' the same thing
in 1958. Mr. Donnelly and also
the. visiting speaker, Trade and
Commerce Minister George
/lees, stressed what they said
had been done for Goderich by
the Diefenbaker Government.
"The presentgovernment,"
said ,Mr. Donnelly, "has spent

In _ this..ronnection. Mr. Hees -
said: "Export financing made it
possible for the Dominion . Road
Machinery Co. of Goderich, to
get orders, they never could have
got before. What. we are doing
is .making ° it possible for un-
developed countries in Asia,
Africa and South America to
buy our capital goods on long-
term credit. We aremaking
possible credit terlhs-for these
people, and this "Year I expect
something like $200,000,000 of
extra business is going to be
given to Canadian farmers and
producers that otherwise would
not have been possible: The
big order for road graders, land-
ed with our help, is just one
example. The man who brought
in the people from the company
and nursed the whole thing
through ,pis largely due to the
efforts of Elston Cardiff."
Ex -warden John Durnin, of
Auburn, presided and was re-
el `cted` • president • of the as-
so9lation. Warden George Mc-
Cutcheon,, from • Mr. Cardiff's
home town, took over the chair
while the nominatingcommit-
tee's report ` •was 'dealt with.
Ther brieLaspeeches.
Hon. Charles MacNaughton, pro-
vincial member. for Huron; Mar-
vin Howe, member for Welling-
±on-Hiiron in ' the late Parlia-
ment; Harry White, who has
represented East Middlesex
since 1945, and Campbell :lvliller,
of Wilton Grove, the new can-
didate'
,y.
didate in that riding.
Mr.. MacNaughton and also
Mr. Hees took occasion to den :
that there Is- any slit between
the Ontario and federal Tory
parties. Origin pf this report
was not indicated; it play' have
been a London Free Press story
on -May 7 quoting Ontario Pre-
mier Robarts _ as saying he was
not planning to go on, the hust-
ings in support , of federal can-
didate&
Mr. MacNaughton, who intro-
duced Mr. Hees, said: "A note
in the press might lead you to
wonder if provincial and fed-
eral Conservatives are one and
the' same .thing. A week ago
Friday I had occasion to speak
to an audience in Windsor, and
the eytent to which the mem-
bers of the association would
feel inclined to support • the
cause of Conservatism in On-
tario at this time of a' federal
election seemed to be a ques-
tion in the minds of soine peo-
ple. I am ,quite prepared to
say our opposition will continue
to distort this • picture and do
whatever they can "to divide the
Tory party between these two
levels. I simply ' want to say
that we are all Tories today,
regardless of 'whether . we - are
members of provincial or fed-
eral associations. There may
be ti, es when we have quarrels,
differ nces of opinion, but they
are' family"40arrels ,anal nothing.

ally concerned, and I am con-
fident that I speak for any pro-
vincial organization when I say
it, we stand shttilder to should-
er with Elston Z..ariliff in Huron
and our federal candidates from
one end of this, province to the
other." °
Hon. lV,[rr, Bees reported "ab-
solute and complete co-opera-
tion between provincial and fed=
exal parties."
The minister said there are
250,060 more Canadians wo
r n
g
today than a year ago, and the
government hoped to create that
many new lobs each year. Be
ridiculed what he called Hon,
Lester Pearson's "free. -trade
a7rea" proposal which 'he said
would put most secondary in-
dustry in Canada out of' busi-
ness.
"The brain trust -- Walter
Gordon and Tom Kent --makes
up his mind," the minister de-
clared. "He doesn't know what
he is saying, but he says it.
He is like a child."
Mayor W. J. Miller, of Clinton,
delivered a civic welcome which
left no doubt in anyone's mind
as. to his politics. "We have
every confidence," he said;
"that our candidate will be
elected."
Elmer Bell, Q.C., Exeter, pre-
sident of the Ontario P.C. As-
sociation, introduced those on
the platform who, in addition
to the speakers already men-
tioned included Edward Good-
man, vice-president of the. On-
tario association; C. V. Laugh=
ton, Exeter; Doug. Freeman;
party chairman for Clinton, and
Mrs. Frank Thompson, Clinton,
secretary of the Huron associ-
ation.

Mr. Cardiff in course of his
speech gave an intimate remin-
iscence of his first nomination,
in Wingham town hall, in 1939:
He won North Httron in the 1940
election by 40 votes over R. J.
Deachman, Liberal. •
,,"Some members," said Mr.
Cardiff, "get to think they are
a little better than those who
voted 'for them. I am just as
common a man as when first
elected, and I will never forget
that. It was in a big hall like
this, and I was the fifth can-
