It s the 28th general election since confederation and the first in Canada s second Cen Tury. It s the sixth election in 11 years and again the question is whether it will produce a majority government. But in Many ways it s an All Ball game. The two main contestants prime minister Trudeau and opposition Leader Stanfield Are . The shape arid names of Many of the Ridings Are . So Are Many of the Campaign techniques. And for the first time it s an election fought bom in the 20th Century. For some it will be Memora ble As the election that Ham mered on the constitutional question of Quebec s role in confederation. Others will recall it As the election when the kids flipped when squeals and kisses invaded a political world once ruled by William Lyon Macken Zie King. For Pierre Elliott Trudeau 48, the question is whether a virtual newcomer to the Politi Cal game can succeed where Lester b. Pearson four times failed and Lead the Liberal party to a majority Victory. For Robert l. Stanfield 54, it s a question of whether the image of sober responsibility he brought from the Nova Scotia premiership will enable the conservatives to counter the tru Deau excitement. And for t. C. Douglas at 63 fighting his 13th election Campaign and his fourth As democratic party Leader it is once again a question of whether a left Wing party can break through to the top rank of Cana Dian politics.
