WOODSTOCK -- Approximately 1,300 Liberals had cast preferential ballots for their next Federal Candidate for Egmont Saturday at Hernewood Intermediate School even before the election meeting was held and before candidates speeches were heard.

There were more than 2,100 people eligible to vote and organizers anticipated most would be there to cast ballots before voting closed at 4:30 p.m.

From the large crowd in the gymnasium for the speeches, Tina Mundys supporters were the loudest.

Candidates drew for speaking order and Robert Gallant went first, followed by Gilles Arsenault. A crowd of supporters accompanied Mundy to the podium when it was her turn to speak, and several of them went to the microphone to give their endorsement.
