File 8 - Progressive Conservative Candidate in Contest for Waterloo North Constituency in Provincial Election.

Clippings regarding Leavine’s nomination as the Progressive Conservative Candidate for Waterloo North as a representative of the Drew Government in the June 4, 1945 election. Some of the clippings report on Leavine’s election campaign, documenting his proposals for change in the event of him being elected. Other clippings consist of campaign advertising urging voters in the North Waterloo riding to support Leavine. Another clipping relates to Leavine's second nomination within five months to run as Progressive Conservative candidate in the Waterloo North constituency - this second election was necessitated by the elevation of Hon. W.D. Euler to the Senate. Leavine accepted the nomination and opposed Louis. O. Breithaupt, the North Waterloo Liberal candidate. Also included is a clipping containing the speech made by Alfred Mustin, President of U.R.W.A. Local 67, endorsing Leavine as a friend of Labour, not as a Conservative. The transcript of this speech was placed in the press by the Leavine Campaign committee and likley forms part of the election advertising from the second Leavine campaign in 1945.
