Tom 'Harris. - "The suesler stated that, while he was glad to see some farmers pre- . sent, he knew nothing at all about * agriculture, coming from a largely suburban or urban riding. 'He noted that our present Provin- cial "Government has been in office since 1948--a total of sixteen years. "In 1957" he said "the Federal Li- beral Government was- accused of ar- rogance, and of being too long 'in power. I don't think their arrogance could match 1, 2, 8 with the arrogance of the present Ontario Government, which has certainly been too long in power, and it is time for a change" he asserted. Mr. Hollingsworth quoted a state- ment -by the Reverend W. G. Barry, who said: "We are governed by old men, who are too old to run a bank, 'too old to run a railway and, in fact, too old to run a government", "It is time we elected a new gov- ernment, under the leadership of John Wintermeyer" he said. " * Mr. Hollingsworth observed that it would seem that the Ontario Govern- ment has two sets of books. When Premier Frost took office 16 years 'ago as Provincial Treasurer, he talked about the public debt of 414 million] dollars, which is now 818 million dol- lars. While the Federal Liberal Govern- Ontario Government increased the provincial public debt.

"No Y iy re John J, Wintermeyer--who is vigor- ously campaigning in this province: All the signs point to an election this year and.we are going to campaign for it" he remarked. Attacking the present government's liquor policy, he noted that "it is ty- pical of the worst type of hypocrosy". Liquor advertisements are not permit- ted to be printed in Ontario, but are being printed elsewhere, and are now appearing in Ontario newspapers, he claimed. As for the Department of Planning & Development, he remarked that "they have never developed a plan, or La "We Liberals are holding meetings every Monday and Tuesday night throughout Ontario, and there is a good chance that Premier Frost will be turned out this.year", Mr. Hollings- worth said.
