October 30, 1942 Speculating About Hepburn . . . When Mitchell Hepburn resigned last week as Premier of Ontario, the Daily News suggested that more would be heard from him in public life. The most of Canadian newspapers in their editorial comment have expressed a similar view that this f iery and youthful figure will bob up again in some prominent place. The Winnipeg Free Press speculates that Mr. Hepburn will figure prominently in a federal national government move. It comments as follows: We have become accustomed in Canada to Mr. Hepburn providing us with sensations, and the resignation of the Ontario premier provides us with the latest in the long series of spectacular doings that is associated with his name. There can be only one certainty in the situa tion, which is that the country, despite Mr. Hepburn's protestations to the contrary, has not yet heard the last of him. His record, his abilities and his animosities com bine to suggest that final retirement, at his age, is not to be expected. Although reasonable presumptions do not always provide a safe foundation upon which to build judgments regardng Mr. Hepburn, it is today reasonable to believe that he has found his position as a premier of Ontario, whose chief policy is one of bitted opposition to Mr. Mac kensie King, an increasingly difficult one. The growing strength of the C.C.F. must also have been causing him a good deal of anxety. He has deliberated chosen his successor Gordon Conant and himself retains "for a short time" a seat in the cabinet. Obviously some strategy is here in play. Had there not been, Mr. Hepburn would either have called upon his logical successor, Mr. Harry Nixon, toi form a government, or he would have left it to the members of the Liberal legislative group to choose a premier, a procedure for which ample democratic precedent exists, notably in Manitoba at the turn in the century and in Saskatchewan in 1926 when Mr. Dunning went to pt-tawa. In either case a stable government could have been formed, for there are only 21 Conservative members in a house of 90. Mr. Nixon could have found a substantial following. An elected successor would obviously have had no difficulty. Instead of recommending Mr. "Nixon, however, and in spite of that member's long and valued service since 1919 in the Legislature, Mr. Hepburn chose Mr. Conant, who has been a member of the Government only since 1937, has never revealed any special qualities of leadership or worthy distinction, and whose sole qualification, so far as can be judged at this distance, is an identity of interest and belief with Mr. Hepburn himself. The announcement has already brought Mr. Nixon's resignation from the cabinet. Undoubtedlv the likelihood of defection was taken into account by Mr. Hepburn in planning his move and it may be permitted to ask a few questions as to the immediate probabilities of the future. Is the .arrangement deliberately designed to destroy the coherence of the original Hepburn following, and thereby to force a coalition between those members over whom Mr. Hepburn retains absolute control and the Conservative opposition under Col. George Drew on some such program as "Total War Now" (Globe and Mail modeD? But there are other possibilities. There may well be some relationship between the tactics chosen by Mr. Hepburn and the forthcoming Conservative convention to be held here in December. When Mr. Meighen issued the first call to the convention he made it clear that he regarded it as an opportunity to form a national government. Anyone interested in that cause and duly accredited was to attend. That invitation has since been sharply modified, but Mr. Meighen remains the Conservative leader and his influence will be powerful in the convention planning. Is it not therefore possible that Mr, Hepburn's resignation is designed as a bridge over which he can more easily pass from the Ontario premiership i ; i -1 i. i it) a pruiiiuieiii, piace in ine ranKs oi a national government dominated by the Meighen-Drew-Globe and Mail wing of the Conservative party? This, in spite of Mr. Hepburn's avowed determination to seek ease and leisure, is not to be forgotten. The Canadian public, in the light of all the circumstances and possibilities of the present, would be well advised to keep its fingers crossed and wait unon events which are not likely to be long in unfolding. Certainly it will appeal to many people as reasonable that Mr. Hep, burn will not be satisfied wth the humdrum routine of his onion farm until he has made at least one more attempt to unhorse Mr. Mackenzie King.
