Charlottetown’s Allison Gillis was being suggested here yes- terday as the top man in the Queens County Liberal nomin- ation convention this afternoon. The city lawyer and four others are expected to offer as pos- sible candidates in the next fed- eral election, which veteran poli- tical observers expect may come

soon. The odds shifted to Mr. Gillis when various rural observers

Complaints of improperly sel- ected delegates were heard last night in the Charlottetown area, but that was not unprecedented. Traditionally voting delegates from each poll are selected a meeting of the committee members for the poll area. = committees are solidly org

rural districts flor y the

membership and officers carry through from one election to the next, with few changes except for replacements due to death, or removal to another area.

But poll organizations in the city is not nearly so well estab- lished and voting delegates for a convention — there are five to a poll — are sometimes chos- en without any meeting, and in some cases delegates are in- formed they have been chosen although they have had no part

in the selection.
