Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 13, 1962, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press wednesday june 13. 1063 four men four v7 draw interest on Prairies by Warner Trover with virtually every nonpartisan political observer in the country predicting an narrow Victory margin a perhaps a minority govern ii situation after monday s balloting the 48 constituencies in Manitoba Saskatchewan and a Berta have taken added significance. Of these 48 Ridings four an attracting special interest be cause of the men seeking elec Tion they Are prime minister John Diefenbaker s Prince Alber Riding Regina City where new democratic Leader Tommy Doug Las faces a stiff and violent Strug Gle Assiniboia the Saskatchewan Riding where one time Cofer Hazen argue is trying to con Vert new democrats to his newly embraced Liberal Faith and red Deer Alberta where social credit Leader Robert Thompson is attempting to win his parliamentary spurs. Despite the respective prominence of these four men Only one of the seats involved that of Prince Al Bert is regarded As sure bet territory each of the other candidates mentioned above faces rugged Competition in what Are Best described As marginal seats. Let s examine the seats individually Prince Albert the Campaign Here is most remarkable for the things which Are not being done Democrat who vote Diefenbaker federally Are not being pressed by their own work ers As one might expect. There Are two reasons for the somewhat lethargic Campaign in Prince Albert first opposition candidates have no Confidence in their ability to upset the prime minister with a spanking new roads to resources Bridge a new radar station and a new car railway terminal in Prince Al Bert John g. Diefenbaker has retained the local boy who made Good image and the widespread personal popularity which has slipped substantially on other Prairie hustings. An equally Strong reason for he Placid opposition Campaign Springs from the recent death of the sitting member for the provincial constituency of Prince Albert there will be a Provin Cial by election Here in the autumn and if the current medi care Battle has not yet been re solved the by election will be a ital test of the Saskatchewan government s continuing voter a peal. Like Hitler All four parties contesting Rince Albert Are candidly using he Federal Campaign As Hitler used the Spanish revolution to Lood their troops and prepare h Ems elves for the to them More ital Campaign in the fall. Regina City two parallel Cam Pearson lieutenants say Dies jibes help Hazen argue and Tommy Douglas no love lost Here for example the strongest lib eral candidate available is nol running and Liberal and new taxi Donald at Mckaham wh2-3366 attention All White crushed Limestone direct from Quarry All sizes honest measure All Leofi Welthea pick up at Winnipeg Supply a Lily Field Plant 9 North on re no. 7 7 .

Pains Are underway in the City made famous by Sarah binks As the Athens of the the first is a Campaign testing Tom my Douglas personal Appeal in the City where he reigned As provincial Premier but an overlap Ping Issue the doctors versus the province fight Over Saskatchewan s government medical insurance scheme has created conservative incumbent Ken More no platform Ora Tor is concentrating on the simple slogan often repeated to everyone within ear shot by everyone in the tory Camp get rid of Douglas once and for casual visitor to pc head quarters in Regina hears invective All directed against or. Douglas More suitable to a dockside bar than a fed eral election Campaign the key figure in the Regine Campaign is the Liberal Candi Date a Man who will not win the election but who might ver Well split the anti socialist and anti Douglas vote enough to As sure the election of Saskatchewan s diminutive sex Premier. Regina lawyer Fred Johnson has been called a weak Candi Date by tory speakers and by outside observers so often one a second and a violent Issue. I is fighting mad. His results Rigby maritime Lead All Canada in election t Lime division by dal Warrington Halifax up As the maritime go so goes Canada. At least that s the Way it went in 19 of the 24 Federal elections since confederation. Which seems to show that despite what used to be called maritime regional issues Don t influence Down East voters As much As National ones. Sometimes a Cross wind makes the maritime weather vane give a Reading different from the National one. Confederation year itself was one such time. In the first Federal election in 1867, new Brunswick and Nova Scotia Prince Edward Island was t in confederation yet turned against sir John a. Macdonald and the unionists although he won nationally. Still an Eye on the Early Atlantic provinces returns june 18 May give a clue to the Over All result thanks to the. Time difference counting should be Well advanced in Newfoundland Nova Scotia new Brunswick and , by the time polls close to the Westward. National issues such Asun employment monetary policies and Trade Bear heavily on Mari timers. Their unemployment is the highest in the country. Fed eral spending and financial Aid is a bigger Factor in the Atlantic Economy than in other regions. Export Trade or the Lack of it in fish steel lumber or apples can mean Prosperity or Stagna Tion. Development is Issue one maritime Issue tied closely to these National ones is regional development. All four National party leaders dwelt on his subject in Campaign trips Down this Way. Prime minister Diefenbaker has t elected More than two conservatives since beep mind a province in 1949. Prince Edward Island the Island went solidly Diefenbaker in both 1957 and 1958, giving All four seats to conservatives. On his last visit Here the prime minister promised the islanders fulfilment of their Long time dream a causeway to the Mainland. Conservative Premier Shaw says the prime minister is the greatest Friend Prince Edward Island Ever the causeway has figured in a Good Many , campaigns. Political Jop ponets Label the most recent announcement just a n o t h e r election Nova despite a Long Liberal tradition. Nova Scot ians went tory in 1957 and elected a Complete 12-Man conservative slate in 1958, the first time in history. Since then Coal mine shutdowns and steel Mill layoffs have sharpened the unemployment problem. Conservative Premier Stan says his government has done More for the Atlantic Region ban any other. He has prom sed to set up an Atlantic prov inces development Council to study projects designed to boost the maritime Economy and recommend Federal action. Liberal Leader Pearson prom Aid to bring up revenues of the ses Federal or capita poorer provinces especially the Atlantic group to the scale of Ontario and British Columbia. T. C. Douglas the new dem cratic party Leader and Lobert Thompson the social credit chief each offers his arty s solution for Atlantic development. Other Atlantic Campaign issues Are More provincial heir Impact on the voters is Ard to gauge. Newfoundland Liberal pre Mier Smallwood says term 29 i a major one. He claims or. Diefenbaker has reneged on Lis clause in Newfoundland s 949 confederation agreement providing for special Grants to aise standards of provincial government services. 4lways Liberal Newfoundland was the Only acadian province to elect a majority of liberals in both 1957 and .1958. With seven seats it Field has taken a less Active part in the current Federal Campaign than his fellow Atlantic pre Miers. As for provincial liberals they still Lack a Perma nent Leader. That Post has been vacant since former Premier. Hicks lost his legislature seat in the 1960 provincial election. Religious friction the liberals Are also said to be suffering from religious Fric Tion stemming from or. Hicks Victory Over the then Premier Harold Connolly a roman Catholic at a 1954 provincial leadership c o n v e n Tion. Or. Hicks is a United Church Mem Ber. Nevertheless both or. Con Nolly now a senator and or. Hicks now vice president of Dalhousie University have spoken at recent Liberal rallies. New Brunswick this prov Ince with a Large French speaking population elected seven three liberals last time. Liberal pre Mier Robi Haudan acadian himself has been campaigning actively. Or. Robichaud is especially bitter about or. Diefenbaker s Federal provincial tax arrange ments. He says they give new Brunswick a raw Deal. The new Brunswick inspired Chignecto canal proposal has not raised much Campaign dust. However the prime minister announcing his regional development Council in Saint John n.b., said he Hopes the canal will be the first thing its Mem vigorous Campaign is designed to Siphon every Liberal vote into his Camp the result most calculated to Hurt tory. More s chances and enhance those of new Democrat Douglas. Ready for Battle Assiniboia Hazen argue s defection from new Democrat to grit ranks raised hackles from Weyburn to Willo Bunch and Many of them Are still at Battle position. But the shouting flail ing driving Campaign being waged by the Bayville Farmer is winning friends and influencing voters across the Riding. Conservative candidate Law rence Watson and his group were making much of or. Argue s switch until a couple of weeks ago. At that Point or. Argue produced evidence or. Watson had Een a paid up member of the Saskatchewan Kcf party Only a ago and of the Saskatchewan Liberal party As recent y As last autumn. I just bought the Liberal membership to please a neigh or. Watson told me lame during an interview in Harp ree but or. Argue is gleefully Elling audiences he belonged to Iree parties in a year and be changed Otice in a come monday or. Argue s most serious threat will prob ably be. New democratic school teacher and Lay preacher Cecil Bailley. Or. Bailley is operating a driving Campaign although nothing like As vigorous As that waged y or. Argue he Bailley holding a substantial part of he old Kcf vote which failed to Illow that party s former Agri cultural critic into grit ranks. Probably or. Argue s Strong est card is the apparent weak Ness of the tory candidate from whom he May Well steal a few extra anti nip voters. His greatest weakness May be former Saskatchewan Liberal party Leader Hammy Macdonald. In a speech i heard at yellow grass North of Weyburn or. Macdonald incorporated virtually every political Faux Pas of. Any Bers will consider conservatives and liberals Are running in All 33 Atlantic seats. They split them 25-8 in the 1958-tory nip is contesting 27. Social credit 18, More than Ever before for either group. The old Kcf. Never elected More Federal member in the Atlantic provinces. Social credit has yet to. Collect More than a scattering of votes. Importance into an hour Long peroration composed of equal parts of misinformation and bad oratory. A tory Farmer asked rhetorically after the meeting with this land of friends what does Hazen need with no love lost red Deer National sacred Leader Robert Thompson s Battle red Deer Bas taken on an added significance with the growing emergence of or. Caouette As a Strong figure in que Bec. Observers at last year s social credit leadership convention in Ottawa found Little affection be tween the two men with the fiery que Becer headed for apparent personal election or. Thomp son might find it difficult to maintain his grip on the reins of the National party organizer if he were left outside the House of commons. Conservative incumbent Harris Rogers is the stumbling Block Over which or. Thompson must climb to Victory. And that first step As in the. Old is a High Liberal and new democratic candidates in red Deer Are prob ably As slight a Factor Here As Are social creditors in the other three Ridings we be examined. This is strictly a pc sacred Bat the As much in fighting and use of thumbs and laces As is possible in any pub Lic bout social credit campaigners for their part making much of or. Rogers age he will be 72 in August and of big silence in the Home of they also expect to draw heavy do deride from the fundamentalist Frik of the farm Bible Helt in Eastern and Southern parts of the Riding. Both men on big name pains and in their Cam supporters. Of both Are planning monday night Vic tory celebrations but neither candidate has so. Far shown the degree of cocksure Confidence evidenced by their personal sap by James Nelson Ottawa up six men have had National prominence thrust upon them in the Curren election Campaign by the on Man they Are pooling their talents to defeat prime minister Diefenbaker. If or. Pearson is elected prime june 18, the six Are bound to be prominent office holders in the new lib Edal administration.
