THE NORTH OXFORD VICTORY (Farmers’ Sun) breaking} the Farmer-Labor Government, and also @ great personal victory for D. M. Ross, the Farmer-Labor candidate. North Oxford has been one of the historic Liberal Ridings. Ever since Confederation it has returned Lib- erals to office, both locally and to the Federal House. Two years ago when the Farmers obtained power in the Province, the Riding returned Mr. John Calder, Liberal, by a majority of over 2,300. On Monday of this week that majority of 2,300 was wip- ed out and instead there rolled up a majority for the Farmer candidate of over 1,300. This in itself is most sig- nificant. The further fact that the armer candidate secured 368 more votes than the Liberal and Conserva- tive candidates combined, shows the great strength of the Farmer Move- ment in the historic old Riding of North Oxford. The rural parts of the Riding gave Mr. Ross a majority of over 2,600. The only two places in the Riding which went was the city of Woodstock and the teat of Tavis-. “tock comemne vote _ East Nissouri, Mr. The Drury Government may well be elated over the result of the con- test, but they should also take warn- ing in régard to the issues brought to the attention of the electors, and a- dopt a policy of economy and effic- iency, in the administration of affairs of the Province. The Government's so- called extravagances were freely criticized by the Liberal and Conserv- ative speakers. The Government will gain strength by adopting a policy of carefal d economical administra: tion of public affairs.
