SOME ELECTION RUMORS` IN THE -SIMCOE RIDINGS -tivity apparent in the Centre Simcoe So far there is not any great ac- political camps towards organization for the provincial campaign. 5` This riding promises to.have a three-cor- nered contest,.With a possibility of all the candidates coming from the north end of the riding. Ex-Warden Chas. E. Wright of Penetang is men- tioned for the Conservative nomin- atiori and Mayor J. T. Payette of the same town is spoken of forthe Lib- er.al_standard-bearer. It is probable that G. H. Murdoch of -Tiny, the pres- ent member, can get the U.F.O. nom- ination again if he so desires. 4 In East Simcoe, J. Ben Johnston, M.L.A., will let his name go before the _U.F..O.-Labor convention and Major J. I. Hartt, Ex-M.P.P., has an- nounced himself as willing to carry the Tory banner. What the Liber- .als will do has not been announced. It is n6 secret that apnumber of the U.F.O. men.in South Simcoe are . not very enthusiastic over the sitting member, Edgar Evans, and he may not be renominated. Ex-Warden Eben Toddof Lefroy has been spok- en of as` a possibility. For the Con- servatives, a number of names have been mentioned. Those heard most frequently are Reeve Earl Rowe of West Gwillimbury and Ex-Warden Harry Carter of Tecumseth. Many think the latter the likely nominee. Nothing has been heard of a Liberal, candidate in this riding so far. 12- 11'r--a. a:.......m' H in not likely candidate in this rluuig so Lou. In West Simcoe, it is not` likely that W. T. Allan will run again. His successor as Conservative candidate will probably come from the north end. Ex-Reeve Ed. Jamieson of Not- tawasaga and Chas. C. Begg, mer- chant,` of Collingwood are promin- ently mentioned. Dick Baker is ing is a pretty hard one from a Grit standpoint, but there may be a Lib- eral candidate, the big convention in Toronto on Wednesday having declared in favor of contesting ev- ery riding in the province. ` spoken of for the U.F.0.
