Stamina is another of her qualities which will be tested in the coming months. Asked if she would step down as mayor to concentrate on the upcoming election campaign, Mulvale said will be able to balance the two. She explained that so far she hasn’t missed one Council meeting because of the nomination - including a Regional Council meeting earlier that day - and that the lighter summer meeting schedule will allow her more While the Mulvale campaign pushed hard to sign new members, the mayor said there was a core group of individuals which has supported every one of her election bids since 1978. Many embraced Tory princi- ples, she said, but did not become card-carrying members until she approached them. Blair Taylor agreed, saying Mulvale has the ability to attract backing through the sheer power of her personality and convicâ€"_ dons “She has a decade of leadership in which she has earned the respect of her peers,” said Milton mayor Gordon After his defeat, however, Sparling explained that pn'or to the convention his people were convinced he had the support, but agreed that sheer num- bers cam'ed the day for Mulvale. “Our. campaign didn’t fall down. Ann did better at getting supporters out to the meeting,” he said. Sparling supporters - while fewer in number - were equally vocal, wav- ing blue and white placards and marching around and around the con- vention floor. The mood was upbeat with former riding association presi- dent Dorothy Chamberlain calling Sparling a “woth Conservative suc- cessor to Otto Jelinek.” (Continued from page 1) this room.

Don Robinson - who called Sparling a “keen student of the political system” - said he advised him to bide his time and grow in the Her list of political priorities includes a balanced approach to deficit reduction, education and skills development, downsizing bureaucra- cy (including the cabinet) and to make governments at all levels “responsive and responsible.” During the presentation portion of the evening Mulvale took the stage to a rousing version of When the Saints Come Marching In. Her impassioned speech diffused recent criticism of her Johnny-come-lately Tory status by explaining her decision to run was one of opportunity not opportunism. A Canadian by choice, she said, her nomination would allow her to “final- ly give voice to my long-held beliefs.” Mulvale - who came to Canada in 1969 - said serving in Ottawa would be a way to repay her debts to the “greatest nation on earth.” “I can tell you I am a high energy person of integrity. I will ensure there is no compromise,” said Mulvale, for whom a 60-hour work week is com- monplace. “We will make sure municipal business is conducted” breathing room “win“ 39,;an meeting.’ “His time has come to represent {0U FEEL .1 did better at getting- suppoders our to the campaign didn 7 fall 827- 4242 WHERE 6000 SERVICE IS A FACT, N0” PROMISE “ Based on 48-month loose OAC.

As to her personal feelings about her victory, Mulvale said simply “It’s been a wonderful day.” “I do want to congratulate my col- league. Ann Mulvale has the support of myself and I urge everyone to sup- port her.” Mulvale agreed that everyone in the riding association must work together to ensure that her opponents in the upcoming election are defeated “The alternatives are not worthy of consideration,” she said. After the final tally was announced, however, Sparling called for unanimity from the assembled delegates. While Mulvale’s speech went slightly over the allotted 15 minutes, Sparling pushed his luck and the power to his microphone was finally cutoff. “As a true Tory of today I say we’ve had enough and it’s time to rebuild,” he said. “I am prepared to make tough decisions. This means taking a stand with specific proposals My role as MP is to represent the national interest not special interests.” Sparling said he would work to streamline the “burgeoning bureau- cracy” of government, review all gov- ernment operations, privatize Crown corporations and to change the “short- sighted policies of the past.” Sparling’s speech - which began with the theme from the 1988 Winter Olympics - contrasted Mulvale’s in that it concentrated on economic issues with a minimum of stirring rhetoric. He said he possessed a “clear vision of the actions that need to be taken” and wanted to be pan of a fed- eral government that “will take the bull by the horns.” “Debt and deficit is the pivot around which the economy now moves,” he said. you,” Robinson told the gathering.
