REEVE-ELECT WILLIAM DENIES NDP HELP Charges Of Party Politics, Illegal Vote Practices Levelled PICKERING (Staff)--Charges of party politics, secret man- euvering and even a_ serious charge of illegal election prac- tices on a large scale have been levelled in the wake of Pick- ering Township's municipal election In a recent story The Times quoted William Newman, MPP for Ontario South riding, as say- ing there had been party poli- tics in the township elections. Thomas Edwards, the New Democratic Party candidate re- acted: "It is too bad ... that Mr. Newman should have ended his statements with his querulous complaint about the Pickering Township election. I am very happy to see that council, as in most others in this area, is comprised of members of all the major parties in this prov- ince. This is the way it should be. "The fact is that the elector- ate in Pickering Township had the choice of four experienced people for the office of reeve. After a very hard fought con- test Mr. Williams was the even- tual winner." COMPARISON Mr. Edwards' eagerness to dispel doubt about Mr. Wil- liams' victory having been won on his own may be compared to a statement by Mrs. Jean McPherson, a_ candidate for reeve. On election day, after conceding the victory in the Pickering Township Municipal Building, she met an NDP or- ganizer for provincial elections, Tom Pollack, "at the top of the stairs', He told her: "Mrs. McPherson, we had such an organization it was im- possible for any one individual to break through." The organizer went on to say that "John" had asked for NDP help, Mrs. McPherson main- tains. The organizer had re- fused Mr. Williams "but so much pressure was brought to bear on us" (the NDP) that the NDP put out an effort on Mr. Williams' behalf. Mr. Laycox, one of the four candidates for reeve, declined comment on the matter of party politics having entered into the campaigning. IRREGULARITIES Mary C. Hofsten, 571 Park Crescent, a scrutineer during the election, wrote a_ letter dated Dec. 7 to W. H. Palmer, Deputy Minister of Municipal Affairs in Toronto, alleging seven separate incidents of vot- ing irregularities observed on election day. The letter reads, in part: «|, E was posted in polling subdivision 23 A-K and was there from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the closing time. During this time I observed what I con- sider violations to the municipal bylaws concerning the proper dispatch and control of the rules and regulations in the polls and polling booths .. . --Public balloting -- re: not proper seclusion or privacy while voter was marking their ballots. --'Inside" and "Outside" agents (or scrutineers) for same candidate, in polls at one time, in order for "Outside" agent to obtain information from "Inside" agent, concern- ing addresses of voters on vot- ing list who had not as yet . voted. As regards this last, Mrs. McPherson claims the informa- tion of addresses of voters, who had not as yet voted, was want- ed to enable campaign workers to do last-minute electioneering. --"Outside"' agent leaving his agent's credentials (with a run- ning candidate's name written on face of same) immediately beside voting booth -- which was cardboard soup carton. Credentials were picked up and given to the deputy return- ing officer who returned them to the "Outside" agent. Mr. Williams was the candi- date for whom the 'Inside" agent mentioned was working. The 'Outside' agent was the husband of the one inside. NO NDP HELP Mr. Williams, on the other hand, had some comments of his own on the election. "In the first place,' he maintains, "party politics have been preva- lent for many years. What hap- pened a week or two ago here is that the party that has con- trolled politics has lost control. It wasn't done by a machine at all. It was done by people in- terested in responsible govern- ment." f Did he receivé\help from the DP? "Not a single cent and not a single organized effort.' he re- plies emphatically. He main- tains also, that the "machine" that, in his words, put C. W. Laycox in as reeve for two terms, dropped him this time in favor of Mr. Scott. "T don't think," Mr. Williams continues, "there's any place for party politics (in local elec- tions) at all. People who work- ed for me were from all three parties. No assistance by the NDP was asked for or given to me." To support his claim that his workers came from different parties, he gave The Times two names: Mrs. Peter Klym, af- filiated with the NDP, and Ron- ald Sproule, a Liberal Party member. FINANCES To support his claim that no financial help was received from the NDP, he offered a breakdown of his campaign ex- penses, which he said totalled just under $700. He had 1500 cardboard signs printed at the Garden City Press which cost him $95. He made and painted 168 two feet by four feet masonite signs, which cost $168 -- about one dollar a sign. * Labor was donated by "one individual" for the printing of 10,000 pieces of campaign lit- erature. The cost of paper was $40. Newspaper ads, mailings and provisions for a_ victory party took the balance of the $700. Only two cars from outside ~Pickering Township were used on election day, he said, and PICKERING TOWNSHIP MUNICIPAL ELECTION ~> these belonged to a relative and a close friend. But both Mrs. McPherson and Mr. Laycox expressed belief there were a large number of NDP automobiles from outside Pickering Township in the area on election day, and Mrs. Mc- Pherson pegged the figure at cars. REFUSED HEARING Mr. Williams, however, had a change of his own -- that the Rural Ratepayers Association had refused him a_ hearing, while giving one to both Mrs. McPherson and Mr. Scott, and likewise refusing one to Mr. Laycox. But Mr. Hugh Miller, presi- dent of the organization, tech- nically known as the North Pickering Ratepayers' Associa- tion, said that Mr. Williams was the only candidate to ask for a hearing, and that no hearing was given to Mr. Williams or anyone else, due to a farm situ- ation. The wet weather had hamper- ed farm machinery to the point where farmers in the associa- tion were working past mid- night as it was, and the calling of a meeting was not feasible Moreover, Mrs. McPherson denied she had either asked for or been granted any hearing by the association, and Mr. Lay- cox said that he had not been denied a hearing and that he had never even asked for a hearing SOUR GRAPES The candidates interviewed. expressed a desire that their comments would not sound like "sour grapes". Both Mr. Lay- cox and Mrs. McPherson said they would welcome the vaca- tion from public office, and Ms. McPherson said she had no intentions of initiating pro- ceedings to nullify the election results. Mr. Williams made it clear he neither asked for nor re- ceived any NDP aid. Yet the wife of Mr. Pollack, the NDP organizer who spoke to Mrs. McPherson on election night, when' asked if her husband worked for Mr. Williams, said, "Yes, my husband worked for John Williams." Mrs. Hofsten, author of the letter to Mr. Palmer alleging electrion-day irregularities, told The Times today that she her- self engaged the "Outside" agent in an argument when he tried to obtain names and ad- dresses of persons who had not voted, and that "'he said they were acting on _ instructions from the candidate for whom they were working". Mrs. Hof- sten sees no reason why a can- didate would want that informa- tion if not to contact those who had not voted. SCOTT ACCOUNT Sherman Scott, the fourth candidate for/)reeve, has his own account of two matters de- scribed differently by Mr. Wil- liams First, Mr. Scott denies he spoke to the ratepayers' asso- ciation. "As far as I know," he says, "no public meeting was held up there. I didn't address them at all." Second; he denies that any machine backed him. "I re- ceived no financial or political support from any organization, and I didn't use the colors of any party in my. campaign posters."' As far as the second is con- cerned, numerous sources have confirmed that Mr. Williams used NDP colors in his cam- paign material But as far as Mr. Scott is concerned, none of it matters. "The election is over and done with,"' he says.
