1 The Acton Free Press Wed December 10 1975 Travels countryside promoting Flora as next PC leader for Terry O Connor Is a whirlwind Connor former MP former Halton riding PC Association president former Assistant to Provincial PC Cabinet Minister Allan Lawrence and presently a practicing law vcr has Just finished lour of Canada The purpose of the mission was to pro mote the chances of colleague Mora Mac Donald winning the federal Progressive ante leadership race In the second time in recent 1 has set up house In the nation capital Lost time it as an MP this time at a campaign manager Conn stole a few hours from a gruel line schedule to attend and tint riding meeting Thursday night Two months now lie been actively working on the cam for months has been at it full time for about in weeks Connors home amount to about one or two days two weeks then those are more likely than not to be a continuous session of political phone calls Connor and MacDonald swept across the hitting major city in about three weeks Connor discussed campaign and the w this reporter pnor to the meeting on Thursday V are out to attract media attention and build a delegate organization and at least one delegate in each tiding read to promote Flora he ex plained But does she roally have a chance of winning we asked With Alberta Peter definitely out of the race we have a good chance Wc have the best Aran roots Connor and his colleagues are out to develop a grass roots appeal for their can didatc re going along with the trad teas and gatherings with delegates But wc re going beyond that and trying to get to people won t be delegates and the public at large If we persuade them it will filter back to the delegates he ex plained We re trying to convey the feeling thai she Is well known and that she la a winner The choice will be made whoever can be perceived by delegates as the one out of the mob who can beat According to Connor the federal caucus hasn 1 Indicated any strong measure of support for any of the array of hopefuls who have put their names forward There has been little committed support but I sure there will be a shakedown now that Lougheed is out support Lougheed is reported to have had strong support In Ontario A number of prominent Tories had to draft the Alberta premier Into the race One of the other more popular can CJaudeWafjnerofQuebec recently TERRY O CONNOR received what could be a major setback A trust fund set up by a group of sup porters for Wagner attracted national pub licity recently Apparently Wagner draws interest off a fund set up to augment his salary as an MP Wagner has admitted to the existence of the fund but claims the fund was set up after the 1072 election Invest gat Ions by national newspapers have ques tioned when the fund was set up O Connor was questioned on what Impact the publicity would have on Wagners chances to lead the party I think It will have a real impact unless he discusses the dates and openly discusses the whole matter even turning over the papers for the trust fund Bad for all Until he does there will be continuing suspicion It a bad for the party It a bad for Stanfleld it a bad for Wagner and It bad for Quebec that when he comes clean and talks about the whole thing I hope he does Wagners case bears some resemblance to that of Norm Caflk a federal MP threw his hat into the race for the Ontario Liberal leadership a couple of years ago The day before the voting was to take place a Toronto newspaper reported how a group of individuals had contributed to a fund to cover some business debts had encountered While there was no definite accusation of wrongdoing the news ran through the Royal York Hotel where the conference was held Some people credited the revelation of the financial arrangement as quashing Caflk chance At the leadership list week column on foals 1 had a call from a who has a nam more planned and wonts to know what to feed her At this time of Near most
