ITS! CORATRON! DATE OF PROVINCIAL ELECTION... ... EXPECTED SOMETIME IN OCTOBER Candidates Ready, Willing--And Confident Of Victory If Premier John Robarts de- cides to call a fall election he won't catch the three parties in the area's two ridings nap- ping - they are all ready and willing. And they are all confident of victory. A Times Survey shows that generally they anticipate Mr . Robarts will plump for one of the last week's of October for the challenge at the polls and Albert Walker, Oshawa riding MPP, says his Tuesday predi- ection of the last week in Oc- tober or the first in November is unchanged after participating in the Conservative Party cau- cus held in Toronto, yesterday. A note of caution was sound- ed by Mrs. Marie Brooks, pres- ident of the NDP in Ontario south riding. "Mr. Robarts was expected to go to the polls last spring" she said, 'but didn't. He still has until next spring before he need take action. I would not like to make any predictions." Thomas Edwards, NDP candi- date for the south riding is away until Friday. MAIN ISSUE One other thing on which all parties agree is that the main issue in the electors' minds is taxation and the high cost of ed- his organization throught the election would be called about Oct. 26 or 27. "We base this on the fact that the provincial government is trying to do something now. Some of the bills they have pass- ed have been sitting there for years and years. In addition most of the farmers will have their crops in by that date and this could be a governing factor. "We are definitely ready. I have been in the field about eight weeks and covered about 42 per cent of the electorate. "I found that 30 per cent of ticularly among apa Jers, who could af rtment dwel- ford to buy a house but not afford to make the down payment. ing to have a hous' "We are go- ing shortage in Oshawa, the same as Tor- onto" he said. "Th e new hous- es in the east part of the city are filling up with Toronto peo- ple. "The Liberals have a very good chance in this riding due to the fact that people want to reform and that is what the Liberals are. Twenty five years is a very long time," he Victor Ayling, NDP president for the riding, said: 'We're ready willing and able, and have been so for a number of months now, "We have an organization we figure is the best ever had. "The mere fact that Robarts is putting it off will do him no good it is only forestalling his doom. "The latter part of October would suit us best, preferably before then, We have no doubts about the outcome - we'll win." He added that Mr. Pilkey was out meeting the electorate Alban Ward, Liberal candi- date said his party is prepar- ed to set its campaign in mo- tion any time the word is given. "I would more or less pre- dict Oct. 20," he said. "Robarts has to issue the writ within a minimum of 37 days, and we expect he will allow only the minimum after announcing the date during or after the party leadership convention in Toronto Sept. 6 to 9." Mr. Ward said he had been out campaigning daily through- out the riding and felt the basic issue in everybody's mind was eral party," he added. "If not we will come very close and Robarts will go back with a reduced majority." OCTOBER DATE A date some time in Octob- er was also favored by William Newman, Pickering Township and Conservative candidate, "We are well prepared and ready to go," he said, 'and in fact thought the election might take place last spring. "T have done a lot of can- vassing and generally speaking people here are very upset about "T think we are going to win," he added. Mr. Robarts has done a good job for Ontario with the finances at his disposal and I believe people know this." Mrs. Brooks, speaking for the NDP organization in the ab- sence of Mr, Edwards, agreed that the two main issues would be taxation and housing. "We were ready last spring," she said, 'and we will be ready in October if necessary. Mr. Edwards has been doing a lot of work in the field and attending social functions and areas than others, number two on the problem didate for Oshawa riding, ucation. The housing shortage is sue is more acute in some but it is James Potticary, Liberal can- the people of Oshawa list.

ORGANIZATION Clifford Pilkey, NDP candi- date, is engaged in the current UAW wage negotiations, the tax structure, including the cost of education and financial matters generally. Housing is he of course a major problem, but does not seem to loom so large- ly in people's minds as taxa- bs tion." the property tax.
