Shown in your home on request--just Major To the Electors of Northumberland County: The Toronto Daily Star, which, despite a record of forty years continuous support of the Liberal Party, has refused to back Hon. Mitchell Hepburn in the present campaign, lately published figures with regard to the popular vote at the last Provincial elections in Ontario, in 1934, which should give every elector food for thought. On that occasion, the total vote cast in Ontario's ninety constituencies was 1,599,000; of whish 791,000 went to the Liberals; 621,000 to the Conservatives; and 147,000 to independent candidates, mainly radical. The actual majority of the popular vote obtained by Mr. Hepburn was approximately 22,000 votes over all parties, a slender one, all things considered. Yet it so happens that proportional representation does not prevail in Ontario, and what was a slender majority of votes became a Liberal sweep in respect of the number of seats captured. From the above count, it is apparent that the Conservatives captured almost precisely two fifths of the popular vote, and Mr. Hepburn a fraction more than one-half. The importance of these figures loes in the fact that they demonstrate the folly of assuming that, because a Government has a large majority of seats, it cannot be defeated. These figures show that a comparatively small percentage of the electorate can turn out a Government if they decided that it has outlived its usefulness--or never had any. The Hepburn administration has been but three years in power, but many thousands of electors have made up then* minds that it is time for a change. It gav an interesting amateur performance for a while, but the public has grown tired of the poses and vagaries of the leading actor, especially since he decided that all the other actors in the case should be seen and not heard. The Toronto Star correctly diagnoses Mr. Hepburn's reason for seeking an election when it says: "The Premier appears to believe that public sentiment is more favourable to him just now than it might be at a later date." That is to say, he realizes that the drift of public opinion is steadily against him. In this Riding a turn over of five votes per polling sub-division will defeat the Liberal candidate, and that minimum requirement is already assured from Liberals who have had enough of Mr. Hepburn. In the next ten days the Voters' List in your Municipality is being revised. See that your name is on the list. Make your vote count.
