state political situation is that Ed

in fraternal organizations and his
lodge connections have helped him
to become well known throughout
the state. 1t is believed that his
labor record will be one of the
strong planks in his platform. As
an opponent he will have George
Cole at the general election, the
latter seeking reelection, and it
is believed that neither will have OPP
position at the September primary
