6-Orono Weekly 'imes, Wednesday, February 20, 1985 S'OL WAY What lias Richard Hat- field's embarrassment ta do with Larry Solway's past television career? How's that for a teaser? Stay with me. In my many years on televi- sian and radio 1 reached cer- tain national prominence, some might even say celebri- ty. In my prime 1 was a regular on "Wbat's My Line", ca-hast of "Juliette and Friends," hast of m y own nationally syndicated "Larry Solway Show" and hast and writer of twa suc- cessful CBC documentary series. Like it or not, von saw a lot of me in the 70's. There are people who have asked why, with ail that pro- minence, 1 neyer did a comn- mercial. After ail, if Lawrence Olivier can do Polaroid cameras why nat something for mie? The truth is, 1 missed my one golden oppartunity tao bc a Ilspokesmnan" for a populai laundry product ail because of Richard Hatfield. Are you still with me? 1 had been engaged by a Toronto agency ta travel ta New Brunswick ta do a series of media-training sessions with Joe Daigle, leader of the New Brunswick Liberals, and a fair hope ta, unseat Hat- field. What Daigle need&l was television savvy, a bit of "how-to" when it came ta answering questions and some general polish. It was what we used ta cal "Image building." My place in this scheéme had nathing ta do with politics or political preferences. I was simply hired ta do a job. I accepted. The very next day I heard from an advertising agency that their biggest soap com- pany client wanted me ta do a commercial for tbem. 1 had done ani audition presenta- tion, and hecause no one ever asked me ta do a commercial, I forgot it. Tough luck. They wantedi me. But I refuised. A commitment bad been made. A man of honour, I stuck by by Larry Sotway my agreement ta spend three days in Saint Johni, and another 'well-known per- sonality got my commercial job. I like Joe Daigle. He was (and still is, eve\,n though out of politics) a very brIgbt man and a good politician. Nut good enougb however, ta unseat the aId smoothie Hat- field. Besides, Joe is ant Aca- dian and his support was in the North wbile Hatfield'"s was and is in the sou tb. In th e election following mny visit the Liberals came within two seats of winning. But, as they say, close> only couts in horsesboes. Wi th a niarraw,% majarity, it was obiaus ,ýtht Hatfield, couldn't carry on1 for long wvitbout another ceetionI. It happened. Another Cam- paign came alWong. This iiime Joe Daigle was ready for bimn. But Hatfield, a consurrlimate politiciani, was eveni more ready. The Liberals attacked the Tories on eévery grouind thiey could from employmrent and farming ta high co-st nuclear power adventuring. The Tories countered with their record, with respec- tability and a solid Hatfiýeld. The best line of the entire camrpaign belonged ta Daigle. A bit of background. Joseph Daigle is a lawyer. He had been New; Bruinswick's youngest judge. He also was an intimate of the Robicbaud people wha hiad a New Brunswick Prime MiniUter and a Federal Cabinet Minister. Daigle became Liberal leader after the then Liberai head quit suddenly under pressure, hiaviýng made some outrageaus (but nat to far from true) commnents about Hatfield. Daigle wvas the man on the spot. Fie was plunked into the job. During the campaign, Hlatfield, wbo must have been worried, referred ta Daigle as a "Second-hand Rose."

Daigle countered with a -fne that made news acrass Canada: "Better a second band rose than a faded panisy." The im- pliçation was clear. It bad ta do witb Dick Hatfield's private life. It was a great zinger. It underlined what al the press k new and most of the public gues.sed at,"about their Premier. Ir made-press. But it didn't wîn the election. Hatfield won. He's still in. Dai-le is back practicing law. Sa now it cames back again., Now everyone is thunderstruck. Now Halýtfield has' no choice. T he fat, already on the fire once, bas been thrawn back in for an every big-ger blaze. He bas been badly singed. He may have no alternative but ta resign. (This column was written an Tbursday, February 6th - s-0 time mnay have proved me ri-ght -- or wrang.) People whao know Richard Hatfield knaw that he likes ta party. Young and good-loakinig men also know about Richard Hatfield. Sa wbat! The press bas always known tbat the mani likes ta party. But the fact is thiat if every secret about every political figure were ta be tal d, it wauld make Peyton Place (or for those under 30 - Dallas) blush. But reporters have kept their couinsel; have. realized that journalismn is not gossip; that being privy ta. personal secrets is a itust; and mast of* A, that a politiciani stands or falîs by blis political acumien, bis brains, and bis legislative programns--nat bis private life. It is whiy gaod jaurnalists stay cool. Only muckrakers trying ta -rite a new beadline wiji stoap. Dick Hatfield is goad or bad if you think he is good or bad. His Canservatives caucus colleagues are ready ta abandon bimi. He is now a Jonah--and the press bas done it to himi, withi a lifle help from bis awn unfar- tunate indiscretuon.
