The Huron Expositor, 1929-09-20, Page 414. N 3XFlJ4i1'YdS1i:1:a Fridley, September 20th. MCI AL ELECTiONN COWf i NC . a'been an open secret for sev- a Maths that Premier Ferguson i Aging an election this fall, and ,:s been much speculation dur- he past weeks as to the probable elate he would set. In fact, judging •by the newspapers, one would think the people of the Province had con - Adorably more interest in the date than, in the result of the election. The suspense, however, has been settled, as following a cabinet meet- ing on Monday night, the Premier an- nounced that the election would be held on Wednesday, October 30th, with nomination day on Saturday, October 19th. in the Prime Minister's manifesto to the public his pre-election promises include the reduction of the cost of Hydro -electric power to rural con- sumers, Government loans to enable farmers to install hydro and the cut- ting in half of the license fees for passenger automobiles. The manifesto also contains bait of many other kinds, but is lacking in any real issue which will tend to in- crease prosperity to the country or of any great interest to its people. With only two years and nine months of the present legislative term expired, possessing a clear ma- jority in the House of 42, and lack- ing any real issue, many are wonder ing just why the Province is being put to the expense of an election at this time. While the Premier's con- tention is that the credit of the Prov- ince eves never higher than at present, it is a well known fact that without the liquor revenue, the gas tax and other taxes of a similar and burden- some nature, his Government would be showing a heavy and increasing deficit with each year's business. Nor will the Hydro question down. The people of the Bruce peninsula have administered a bad black eye to the Hydro Commission, its methods of operation and its prices, curing the past year, and the end is not yet. People in rural municipalities who have long been users of Hydro, and people in the country who would like to be users of the same power, if the price was not so prohibitive, have long been murmuring at the discrim- ination in the rates of a publicly own- ed utility, and that murmuring will in the very near future assume the proportions of a good sized roar. These are only some of the surface reasons. There may be and possibly are, many underlying thorns in the Premier's bed, which induced him to take the plunge at this time, rather than wait the other two years of hi legislative term. At any rate Mr. Ferguson has made the plunge and an election will be held on October 30th. The results will be announced later. after- spendinss a few months visiting Meads at the coast Vaal In the West., —Dr. Swan, of Hamilton, exigent Suns dsy at the home of his father, Mr. James Swale --136. and Miss Gibson, of Stanley, returned home last week after visiting friends in London and Hamilton, and also attending the marriage of Miss May 1£etchen, daughter of Rev.

Mrs. Addison gave a helpful article on "Wolfe and Montcalm," and Mrs. C. Wasman read "The Call of the Great Northwest." These papers were most interesting, dealing with the work of missions from the early ages. Mrs. Rattenbury gave the clos- ing prayer.
