Canadaâ€"83.00 Per Year. United. Statesâ€"83.00 Per Year. :?5!“) Published Every Thashay b7 GRO. LAKLE, Owner and Publismer Mrmbers Canadian Weekly Mewsepaper Aspoeciation: Ontarteâ€" Quebee Newspaper Association One of the first radio announcers in Timmins used to create considerable amusement by his freâ€" quent reference to "political" matters. The chief pleasure in his announcements rested in the fact that he invariably pronounced "political" as "pollyâ€" tickle". In recent weeks, many have recalled that| early radio announcer, for certainly Ontario has : had a regular "pollyâ€"tickle" situation. The North has taken a very special interest in this "pollyâ€"| tickle" situation, not only because it was so truly "pollyâ€"tickle," but also because the interests of the North were so closeiy concerned with such : "pollyâ€"tickle" proceedings. Just as in other secâ€" tions of the province, there was the natural human rest in the spectacular unexpectedness of hell Hepburn, and also in the rather unusual 'expenditures and efforts made by some to grasp | the sceptre thrown down by Mr. Hepburn. Deleâ€" :qtes from this part of the North to the Liberal| ivention at Toronto last week were probably| fle those from other sections of the province. The| Bembroke Standardâ€"Observer, to judge by convenâ€"| ton results, seemed to forecast the general trend o the delegates. "The South Renfrew delegates to the Liberal convention in Toronto," said The Pemâ€" broke Stafidard-Observer "are going there, we are told, with an open mind. So, too, are the delegates from North Renfrew. But it is rumoured that they will all vote for Nixon." That appears to be a very "pollyâ€"tickle" attitude of the Liberal party throughout Ontario. In any event when the votes were counted Hon. Harry Nixon was elected leader of the Liberal party in Ontario on the first ballot. Details of the voting were not made public. It was given out, however, that out of a possible 582 votes, Hon. Mr. Nixon received 418 votes. That meant that Mr. Nixon received considerably more than £Wice as many votes as all the other ‘candidates es on d t n o i o o o V h o mt combined One Irishman returning from the conâ€" %ntion exclaimed. "Sure and if it had been a real glection, all the other fellows would have lost their ‘deposits."‘ Of course, as some suggest, the story ,might have been a different one, if Premier Conant 'im not been taken suddenly ill and thus forced om the ~®mmton filoorto â€" a~=~hospital «~bed: here mif ave been a change in the vote, if eight Dominion Cabinet Ministers had not atâ€" tended the convention to use their votes and inâ€" fluence. It is pleasant, however, to know that the Ottawa Cabinet Ministers are not too completely crushed with war work and the anxiety of affairs to take part in the odd interesting "pollyâ€"tickle" affair. Timmins, Ont., Thursdoy, May 6th, 1943 Without any disrespect to any of the other canâ€" didates, it may be said that the convention made a wise choice. Hon. Harry Nixon is a man of charâ€" acter, talent and experience. He has been a memâ€" ber of the Ontario Legislature since 1919. He was provincial secretary and registrar in the Drury Farmer Government, and he was one of the few to survive that ordeal without loss of prestige or respect. As a member of the Hepburn Cabinet he has enjoyed the regard of all and has been esâ€" teemed as a safe, sane, even tempered and fairâ€" minded public man. In his own riding his popuâ€" larity seems to have increased with the passing years. On several occasions he has acted as preâ€" mier with credit to himself and satisfaction to the public. Always quiet and unassuming, it must be adamitted that he must have unusual character and personality to come through all the "pollyâ€"tickle" situations he has endured, and to still have people regard him as highly as they do. Whether the general public will rally to his standard as the party did at the convention remains to be seen. Apart from the general provincial outlook, this | 1C part of the North has a special interest in the| P choice of the new leader, who will, without doubt, d be the new premier of the province. One of the| 2 matters of special interest here is the belief that £ Hon. Mr. Nixon will insist on some measure of popâ€"| + ular elections. It is suggested that he is opposed | T to the Ontario Legislature extending its own term, f as was done in the recent session of the Ontario ; € House. He is reported as considering that a very | a undemocratic move, even in times of war, and’ W especially when many members of the Legislature| © opposed such a pian. Mr, Nixon has been quoted‘ p this week as promising to consult his fellow memâ€"| e bers in regard to the advisan~nility of a general! C election in the province, but in any event it is, : asserted that he intends to see that the seven vaâ€"| s cant seats are fillea. This riding of South Cochâ€"}‘ t rane has been unrepresented in the Ontario House literally for years, and this has been a serious hanâ€" dicap to the people of this part of the North. To 1 look after the interests of this very important area } it is essential that the riding is fully represented.‘ 1 This_part of the North will be interested in vsm.u:h-'z 1 ing Bow soon this riding is given its rights in the way‘of representation at Toronto. mAriéther matter in which the North will have $ Ainterest is the report that several important mtbA en s ces mm 4 * are forecast in the Ontario Cabinet.

They recognize nothing within human power as «mm 1 really impossible. And they simply go along and i ie s Among the delegates to the Ontario Liberal Conâ€" vention at Toronto last week was Dr. J. A. Mcâ€" fInnisâ€"â€"and he missed the chance of his life. It is hard to understand how he missed it, but the fact remains that he did. Perhaps, he did think of it, but somebody taiked him out of it. Everybody knows the broadmindedness of Dr. MciInnis and his talent at getting folks together. Well, at that convention he found his fellow Liberals at sixes and sevens. It may have been "sixes" for all the other candidates, and "sevens‘" for the one who was chosen, but it did not look that way at first. Dr. McInnis could very easily have startled the conâ€" vention by a speech something like this: «p w# _ "Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen:â€"We are not doing the party or the country any good by having all these candidates and splitting up into sections and groups. There is nothing to be gained | by Dominion members, premiers and Cabinet Ministers running against each other. Let us get away from all that sort of thing. Let all these’ contenders drop cut and pick a real leaderâ€"a@ man that everybody can trust and follow.‘ I admit: I am using his name without his consent, but T do think he would be the right man. I mean, of course, George Drew, so favourably known to SO many of you. He is a veteran of the last war, with a creditable record in that conflict. He has tried to serve again in this war. He has had long and honourable public service through the years of peace and in every election he has contested he has proved a sure winner. Geo. Drew would be a leader of whom the Liberal party might well be proud. I propose as Leader, Geo. S. Drewâ€"veteran of the last war, and mayor of Timmins for several terms." 0 C i o VY A A ASZ o Of course, Dr. McInnis might have had interrupâ€" tions in his address of nomination at that convenâ€" tion, if he had leit it in any doubt as to which George Drew he was presenting. But anyway, Dr. McInnis missed his chance. However, it may all work out all right at the next electionâ€"the one George Drew may be premier of Ontario and the other George Drew may be member for South Cochrane. In his address on Saturday evening to the memâ€" ‘ bers of the committees working on the Fourth Victory Loan drive, Mr. R. J. Ennis, chairman Of the National War Finance Committee for Cochâ€" rane Unit, summed up the situation in striking way with these words:â€"‘"We did it before.: We can do it again. And don‘t say it can‘t be done." Those who heard Mr. Ennis came away inspired by those three snappy sentences. They returned to work on the Victory Loan with those three thoughts actively in mindâ€""We did it before. We can do it again. And don‘t say it can‘t be done." If that trio of thoughts takes possession of all in Timmins and gistrict, then the sentences can be amended to read:â€""We did it before. We have done it again. We have proved, it can be done." _ During the last war loan there was the tendency ! Mr. E.

All over the : world since the war began "impossible" things hnave been occurring. The people of China, Russia, Poland, Belgium, Holland, Britain and other places have been doing the impossible right along. Hitler thought he knew it was impossible that Britain could stand alone against his long planned bombâ€" ing from the skies. Britain did it. The Japanese thought they knew that it was impossible for the Chinese to withstand the might of the Empire of the Rising Sun. China did it.

It is really regimentation that the civilized world fights toâ€"day. Mr. Johnston mankes it plain in his address that there is no system proâ€" posed by anybody to really abolish capitalisra. 1 most that is offered is a change from individual capitalism to one of state capitaiism. State capiâ€" talism means as surely government and control and regimentation by a few as any form of indiâ€" vidual capitalism. The people can control ordiâ€" nary capitalismâ€"if they but willâ€"while state c‘al-} talism almost inevitably drifts into the conditions that brought on the present war. Labour skould be particularly alert against soâ€"called state capiâ€" talism. Mr. Johnnston quotes a C1.0. leader in Washington the other day as saying:â€""I would rather bargain with any private employer than with any bureaucrat. The bureaucrat has jails." | It is a thought worth attention. Not only newspaperdom, but all Canada suffered a loss in the recent death of Sam Charters, pubâ€" lisher for a lifetime of The Brampton Conservator, one of Ontario‘s ablest weekly newspapers. The late Mr. Charters lived a busy and useful life. He was outstanding in his public service, not only giving of the best as a newspaperman, but also addâ€" ig to that wide service years as a member of the Ontario Legislature, and more recently as a memâ€" ber of the House of Commons. He will be greatly missed in wide circles, but it is further tribute to his high character and stirling worth to state *the fact that he will be most deeply mourned in the family circle and by the friends <~who knew him best. It may be added that in life Sam Charters won some measure of reward for his useful and helpful life, for he enjoyed the regard of all : who knew him and had the happy knowledge that he was leavino the high traditions of the family worthy hands. One local gentleman suggests that the pleasant weather this week is due to the new Liberal leader. To which another local man replies "Nix on that!" Which goes to show that there are both Grits:â€" and Tories still living in this camp.
