He was barn and raised' on' a farm and has been all his life indentifled with farm life or kindred pursuits. Mr. McLean has hada successful municipal career and after serving several terms as council- for of Goderich was' elected. to- the reeveship, defeating the most popular, opponent who could. be placed in'tbe geld. In the first election for member- ship in the new county council he polled'three-hundred votes more than any other candidate. He was also for six years President of the Great North- Western Agricultural Society. Mr. McLean was:the Conservative candi- date in the triangular campaigb of 1898 .when he made a splendid run with they odds all so much against him. ' He is better known, consequently more popular, and thus stronger than on that occasion and has as well the united and warm support of the Conservative party. He has been buying stock from the farmers of the West Rid- ing for the past thirty -met_ and has thus become well known to them all. Be has in ,short had every opportunity of thoroughly familiarize ing himself with. the needs .of an Agri,- cultural gri, cultural constituency such as West Huron.
