Dear Mr. Edîtor : iI Your readers will recail that the Canadian Statesman r e p r i n t e d the Evening Guide Editorial entitled "Why Bother" and Garnet B. Rickard, Presi- dent of the United Counties Progressive Conservative Association wrote a reply. The Editorial dealt with Party Organi- zation in Durham. M~y only general comment is that respondence about polities after the election. The American influence of a hoopla election campaign is a poor example to follow. Intelligent and con- *tinuous political activity in the riding by many people is a surer way to sounder political policies in ail parties. The original editorial was admit- tedly complimentary to the Liberals, but it also served the very useful pur- pose of encouraging comment from the Progressive Conservative's and Mr. Rickard's reply has fully stated his party's case. I made no comment on the original editorial and most of Mr. Rickard's comments are self explana- tory but one aspect of the comment requires an answer. As the defeated Provincial Liberal Candidate in Durharn at the last elec- tion, I could flot let the following com- ment pass: "Now speaking Provincial- ly, I wonder what my good friend E. R. Lovekin is thinking of this editorial "Why Bother". . . in the last Provin- cial Election i. . The Liberals lost con-j siderable ground" . . . "Mr. Lovekini might well ask: Where was this excel- lent modern organization".1 The almost irrisistible implication Is that I amn blaming my defeat on the organization. While this theoretical question ls, 1 suppose, fair comment in the context of Mr. Rickard's article, it readily lendsi itself to misintempretation.c The facts are that I amn perfectly satisfied and very appreciative of the wonderful effort made by the Liberals1 of Durham on my behalf, from Russellil Honey our Federal M.P. and Harry Wade our local President, down to each1 and every Liberal worker and voter inc the rîding. The Liberal Organization in1 Durham did flot lose the election, DickE Lovekin himself failed to win it. 1 In order to lay to rest ail specu-y lation, while avoiding platitudes and1 general comment, may I state the facts t as I see them. 1 The P.C. candidate Mr. Alex Carruthers is well known MacDuff Ottawa &F#4e ScUtor through the riding and particu- larly in the Port Hope area. He is conscientious and covers the riding frequently in both poli- tical and social circles. I was relatively unknown in Port Hope itself and only haif known beyond my own Township and the Bowmanville area. 2 Darlington Township, the sec- ond high density population area contains large numbers of Oshawa workers who apparent- ly voted the N.D.P. ticket on the completely erroneous assump- tion that no other political party is aware of the needs of organ- ized labor. No other political party receives financial support from union funds but other poli- tical parties have proven their intelligent interest in and sup- port of the legitîmate aims of organized labor on the historical record. This message simply did flot get across, and 1 accept the full blame for failing to ade- quately set forth Bob Nixon's approach to, labor problems to the workers. 3 The traditional conservative vote in the north end of Durham re- mained loyal to the Government in spite of complaints regarding schools and a Ministerial Order regarding subdivision control which superficially appeared to, shake Conservative loyalty. 1 suggest these are a few of the very concrete and realistic reasons for my defeat; there are many more flot so, unîversal in their scope. The lessons are there for those who, reflect on the facts. Hindsight is always so easy. To summarize, it is clear that if you have no organization you cannot win, but you can have a terrific organi- zation and lose the first time around when you are fighting a conscientious; and popular member and commit tacti- cal errors in your compaign. The "organization" as it exists in local politics is sîmply a collection of your neighbors who take their polîtîcs seriously and work long and hard for little or nlo money and less praise be- cause they think the candidate and the party needs them. I love ail such wýork. ers who are Liberals, I respect those who are flot. To blame them for my rnistakes would be a sharneful thing and 1l trust I have laid any such innuendo to rest. E. R. Dick Lovekin, Hopeful Liberal, Newcastle, Ontario. Report New Faces OTTAWA-Prime Minister L. B. Pearson will be suc- ceeded by the newly elected leader of the Libertl party on April 6. Within a few weeks, perhaps even a few days after Mr. Pearson's de- parture the entire Liberal Cabinet may take on a new look. The resignations of cab- inet ministers are automat- lc with the acceptance of the resignation of the Prime Minister. This means that Mr. Pearson's successor will be ln a position ta pick bis own Cabinet. There will be several members of the present Cabinet who will not be re- appointed. Tbe make-up of the new Cabinet of course will depend greatly on who wins the party leadersbip. Mitchell Sharp, Paul Iellyer or Robert Winters wauld of c ourse pick a different type of cabinet than Allan Mac- Eacben, Joe Greene or John Turner. Among those who may no longer be ln the Cabinet ln- clude: Privy Council Presi- dent Walter Gardon, Secre- tary of State Judy LaMarsh, Senate Government Leader J. J. Connolly, Fisheries Townt of Bowmanvine PREPAYME NT 0F TAXES Propayment cf 1968 Taxes will be received up to 90 percent of 1967 Taxes. A discount cf 3% will be allowed on payments made ini Jcmuary. Payments made during the period Feb- ruary Ist ta February 29th, 1968, inclusive will be allowed a 2% discount, No discount will be allowed af ter February 29th, 1968. A. P. GEBOERS, Tax Collector. Minister Hedard Robichaud, Industry Minister C. M. Drury, Labour Minister J. R. Nicholson, Trade Min- Ister Robert Winters. The present Prime Minister will of course be bawing out of the cabinet. Mr. Winters bas announced be toa wil be quitting the cabinet at the end of Mach or early in April. However he may be drafted as a candidate for the leadership. If he won he would be the man chaos- lng the new cabinet. Mr. Gardon bas indicated ta friends an several oc- casion that after Mr. Pear- son departs he is not Inter- ested in staying an in the administration. He may flnd bis services are not wanted. Miss LaMarsh has made no secret of her desire ta quit political lîfe. She has announced that she bas no intention of running again for election. She has threat- ened several times ta resign from Mr. Pearson's Cabinet and If bis successor passes ber aver In selecting bis new cabinet she will be probably just as happy ta serve out the hast few mantbs of the present Liberal government as a private member again. The leader of the govern- ment In the Senate, Sena- tor Connolly bas carried on despite Indifferent health. He wiil be ready ta retire from that tough job. Mr. Nicholson is scheduled ta retire from the Cabinet and be appointed Lieutenant Governor of British Colum- bia. He will succeed in that post George Pearkes, a former member of the Diefenbaker Gove r n men t who wants ta retire f rom bis vice regal duties. Mr. Pearson's recent move In elevating ta Cabinet rank an Englisb speaking Que- bec member in the persan of Bryce Mackasey caused raised eyebrows among Lib- erals in Ottawa. There were rumours immediately that John Munro, Liberal M.P. for Hamilton East and par- liamentary secretary ta Man- power Minister Jean Mar- chand bad resigned bis post In a fit of pique. Mr. Pear- son in the Commons declin- ed ta confIrm or deny the rumours. He said that "wben changes are made in the administration tbey are arinounced In the bouse". Mr. Mackasey's appoint- ment caused same conster- nation within the back- benchers of the Liberal party In Parliament. It gave'Quebec an unprece- dented tentb Cabinet post. It also gave a third Cabinet position ta Quebec's English speaking minorlty. There was surprise that the Prime Mlnister wouid make such an appolntmnent so close to bis retirement. Mr. Mackasey bas made some enemies wlthin the Party because of bis bluntj and brutally fran crlticiem t68' or government policy that he did not like. It bas been na secret that be was very ambitiaus ta, climb ta Cab- Inet rank. The promotion was nat papular ln some Liberal circles. Mr. Mackasey was ap- pointed as Minister without portfolio. However Mr. Pearson said be would act as Labour Minîster while the present Minister of Labour Hon. J. R. Nicholson is out of Canada attending a Unit- ed Nations trade conference ln New Delhi. The Prime Minister more than once bas suggested that a Cabinet witb 27 members in it is unwieldy. He bas suggested in talks with newspapermen that be ikes the British cabinet systemn wbere the Prime Minister bas a small "inner cabinet" that bandles major decisions of poicy. His successor as Prime Minister may decide ta get alang witb a reduced cab- inet for the interim period until the next general elec- tion. It is expected that the Gavernment will not be anxlous ta go ta the polIs until 1969 providing the successor with an opportun- lty ta cansolidate and pre- pare ta face the electorate. One tbing Is sure. the new Prime Minister wlll seek ta dissuade Liberals from re- signing from Parliament. He wants no loss of strengtb ln the Commons and no by- elections. AIl present Mem- bers of Parliament an the Government side will be asked ta stay on in the bouse even thougb sanie May nat like the conven- tlon's choice of a new Lib- eral leader. Mr. Pearson Is obviously looking forward ta a periad of rest and retirement. le may get neither. He did such a gaod job in the Fed- eral-Provincial constitution- aI conference that there is talk ln government circles of trying ta persuade hlm ta carry on as a sort of ex- officia minister handling Federal -Provincial relations or the man ln charge of the secretariat that is ta be set up in Ottawa ta carry out a sweeplng review of the British North America Act. The three-day conference early in February ln Otta- wa ended with the decision ta carry out such a review and Mr. Pearson left no doubt that he expects it will lead ta a brand new consti- tution. "Tlnkering with the ex- isting constitution will not be enaugb," was tbe way Mr. Pearson put it in a press conference. The three- day conference ended with a declaration of language equallty for French and Eng- lish and a decision that there be a continuing consti- tutional conference lni Cana- da until the Federal Gov- ernment and provinces have reached agreement on a new form of confederat4on. rOSHAWA WOOD PRODUCIS LiD Presents More B lAIQualiety ~ALLONT Merchandise -PINE LUMBER FOR BOOK SHELVES * 1" x 6"" No. 1 GRADE ..........141/zc per ft. -1" x 8"" No. 1 GRADE ..........191/2c per ft.
