Riddell may be finding
campaign trail too long
BY ALICE GIBB
• It was . obvious last Wed-
nesday night that at least one
local politician is finding the
provincial election cam-
paign trail a little too long.
Jack Riddell, Liberal
incumbent in Huron -
Middlesex, was speaking to
an all -candidates meeting
held at the Kirkton-
'v400dhain Community
Centre. After attackingsome
of the Tory government's
policies over the past term,
Mr. Riddell said, "I'm proud
to be a Liberal",, adding
"I'rn proud to stand on my
own merits."
Emphasizing if he were re-
elected, "you won't see me
riding on anybody's coat-
tails," he said even more
emphatically, "you're not
going to see any brochures
come out of mine that have
Bill Davis on the front of it,
or even my own leader,
Stephen Lewis." The can-
didate continued his speech,
the audience listened in
disbelief and then broke into
laughter.
Hugh Edighoffer, Mr.
Riddell's fellow Liberal
running in Perth, looked
slightly shocked •
Mr. Riddell, realizing his
mistake as he was saying,
"you're just going to see a
brochure with Jack Riddell .
on it," stopped and started
again, "or my leader
Stephen", fumbled, and then
said "Stuart Smith."
