TORY BEATY WANTS IMMIGRATION INCREASE

James Beaty, the Conservative candidate for the House of Commons in the constituency of East Toronto, told voters that he believed every possible means of increasing immigration to the Dominion needed to be explored by the government.

Beaty made the declaration during a speech he gave last night at the corner of King and Parliament streets. Over the course of his speech he told the assembled crowd that his support for a government would be decided not by the party banner it flies but rather whether or not that ministry is acting in the best interests of the country as a whole. Beaty said he would look to the government to support the economic development of the city through the construction of either or both of canals and railways.

East Toronto Reformers meet at 8 p.m. this evening at the Music Hall, Mechanics’ Institute at 76 Adelaide Street East for the purpose of choosing a candidate.

NORTH ONTARIO

It is understood that the writ has been received for the riding of North Ontario but is not being dated yet. Whispers in the riding are that the writ is being withheld until after the poll is taken in East Toronto. The Ontario Provincial Secretary, Hon. Matthew Crooks Cameron, is contesting the provincial seat there and conspiracy theorists in North Ontario believe that if he loses there, Crooks Cameron will put his name forward here.

CANDIDATES NOMINATED

The first official nominations of Campaign ’67 took place yesterday in the ridings of Carleton, Kingston, South Ontario, and Ottawa. These ridings will also be the first to call voters to the polls. That will take place on August 26 and 27.
