HUGE MAJORITIEES — ~ ‘

1 Island Returns Four In “Conservative Landslide

All tour Progressive Conser- vative candidates in Prince Ed- ward Island yesterday increas- ed their majorities to take an easy victory from their Libe- ral opponents.

Not even the staunchest sup- Porters ‘of - the Conservative Party would be willing to pre- dict, in ‘some instances, half the majorities realized. The CCF. Party represented by QYPIIS Gallant in Prince County (registered only 211 votes.

Fisheries Minister J. — Angus 1V!aL*Lean and Heath Macquar- me in Queens County polled 13.831 and 13,288 votes respecti- vely. against J.o.c. Campbell 7.574 and E. D. Reid 7,665. During the 1957 election, Mac- Leau and Macquarrie had 11,- 597 and 10,651 compared to 9,724

Matheson and 9,404 for Miller. -..In Kings County John A. Mac-

, d increased his 452 majo- rity of June 10 to 1,149. The standing yesterday was Mac- Donald 4,923; Kick-ham,3,774.

Orville Phillips made a walk-away of it in Prince County. In the 1957 election he had a small majority of 234

votes but yesterday his 10,088 votes were enough to give him a 3,598 majority/over J. Watson MacNaught’s 6,490.

Fine weather was 8. definite factor in the large number who turned out to vote in Prince Edward Island yester- day. An estimate of those who voted shows that about the same number cast ballots yes- terday as in ‘the June 10th election in spite of the fact that 1,116 fewer voters were registered for this election. About 45,744 out of a register- ed electorate of 53,108 went to the polls. ~

NEVER IN DOUBT

As the returns began to come in, it became evident what the final results would be. In Queens County, out of 126 polls, the Liberals led in only five. In Kings County, out of 54 polls Kickham took small majorities over MacDonald in ten polls and in Prince County Phillips had majorities in all but eight of the 89 polls.

The Conservative victory in Charlottetown was more im- pressive than in any other part of the Island. In the City the P.C.’s more than doubled the

Russia T Nuclear

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia said Monday it is stopping all nuclear weapons tests — but left th door open to resume them unless other powers’ take the same step.

The Soviet Union set no date for its go-it-alone ban and it may endure no longer than the first blast in a new series the United States will start in the Pacific, possibly within a few weeks.

(Reuters news agency said in a Moscow dispatch the announce- ment “appeared to mean that the Soviet Union unilaterally ceases nuclear testing as from Monday and for an in-lefin-ite pe- ‘riod.”)

A resolution submitted to the Supreme Soviet, from the council of ministers by Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko was adopted un- animously. It asked that the gov- ernment “unilaterally cease mak- ing tests of all forms of atomic and hydrogen weapons."

A LOOPHOLE

“If other countries possessing hydrogen and atomic weapons _continue their tests,” the resolu- tion added. “the Soviet govern- ment will be free to act in the same manner irr the interests of the security of the Soviet Union.”

Other resolutions appealed to the U.S. Congress and the British Parliament to ban tests, and urged West Germany to change

Fine Tribute

tribute." . ‘

He said the majorities were lower than the last election but “that follows the all - Canada trend.” If the rest of Canada had not leaned toward the Progres- sive Conservative party the Lib- eral candidates would have been returned with far greater majori- ties, he said.

Lively Election

MONTREAL (OP) —.Nine kid- nappiugs, a tear-g-as bombing, in citizens’ arrest in which the citiz- ens also wound up in jail, about 30 arrests by police, scattered complaints of telegraphing and a few fights marked election day in Montreal.

Despite these incidents, how- ever, federal and municipal po- lice called election day activities “pretty quiet.”

Most of the action took place in St. Ann’s constituency, where nine workers for Liberal candi- date Gerard Loiselle were kid- nalpped. »

The candidates brother, Jean Paul Loiselle, and four other sup- porters were “arrested” by al. group that hustled them off to‘ police headquarters and swore out a complaint charging them with illegal election activities."Po- lice jailed everybody pending an investigation.

Police arrested seven men in connection with the incident but the kidnapped persons were not recovered. They were allowed, however, to telephone their fam- ilies that they were safe. It “is quite a common Quebec election manoeuvre to kinda ppatyr work- ers and keep them out of circu- lat-ion until polls close.

In another raid, five men were kidnapped.

Liberal candidate Maurice Rin- fret and seven of his committee- room workers in St. Jacques rid- ing were twice tear - gassed dur- ing the morning. The room was unusable for two half - hour pe- riods.

HEATH MACQUARRIE

By ALAN DONNELLY Canadian Press Staff Writer Prime Minister Dierfenbaker led his Progressive Conservatives to the most spectacular election victory in Canada's history—v‘in- ning a record-breaking 200 seats and shattering all opposition par- ties in Monday's general election.

The Liberal forces under Les- ter B. Pearson were slashed to that party’s smallest representa- tion in the House of Commons since Confederation--fewer than 50 members compared with the previous low of 69 in 1878.

CCF strength was cut by more than half. The Social Credit party was obliterated from the national scene.

Only Mr. Dlefenbaker and Mr. Pearson, among party leaders, won re-election.

' MINISTERS WALL

The rout of Liberal cabinet ministers begun in the 1957 gen- eral T election continued Monday. Veteran former agriculture min- ister James G. Gardiner, former transport minister George Marler and former fisheries minister James Sinclair were defeated.

The Conservatives m.ade a clean sweep in four provinces- Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Is- land, Manitoba and Alberta.

A flood - tide of Con-servativve votes gave the Diefenfbaker forces a majority of the seats in traditionally Liberal Quebec, for the first time since 1887.

With 72 per cent of polls re- -ported—-—the vote was 1 record— the ‘Conservatives’ had ~an:’:as’se‘d‘ 54 per cent ot.the popular vote compared with 40 per cent in the June 100 election last year. The Liberal share had slipped to 36 per cent from 40 last year.

The Conservative steaimroller of success rolled in high gear in every province but Li~beral'New- foundla,nd where no seats changed hands.

PEARSON WINS

‘ Sixty - year - old Mr. Pearson, who took over the Liberal lead- ership only last January when Louis St. Laurent resigned, won re-election in Ontar-io’s Algoma East.

Both CCF Leader M. J. Cold- well and Social Credit Leader Solon Low lost their seats to Cen- servatives, Mr. Coldwell in Rose- town-Bi-ggar, Sask., and Mr. Low

in Peace River, Alta. Each had

led his party in every general election since 1945. Stanley Knowles, deputy CCF leader, was beaten in Winnipeg. North Centre. ,

In Ottawa Mr. Pearson ex- pressed regret at losing the elec- tion but told reporters he thinks “it’s a. good thing for the coun- try to have one party in a major- ity.” '

The triumphant John Diefen- baker, 62-year-old Prairie lawyer who took over the Conservative leadership in December, 1956, when the party had only 51 Com- mons seats, called the returns stupefying.” He was re-elected in Prince Albert, Sask.

MAY SESSION?

He promised to call Parliament into session as soon as possible. In Ottawa, Works Minister How- ard Green said this likely would be about the middle of May.

In 75-seat Quebec, traditionally a Liberal stronghold, the cut- down of Liber al candidates venged on the proportions of a rout.

inces, where Conservative gains last year helped elect a minority Conservative administration af- ter 22 years of Liberal govern- ment, sent even more Con-serva-" tives to Ottawa this time.

And in Ontario, where the C'on- servatives held 61 of 85 seats at dissolution, they. gained half—a- dozen more from the shattered Liberal party.

Most Spectacular Win In History Ol‘ Canada

Mr. Gar-diner, 74, one of the biggest [Liberals to topple, had never lost personally in Sas- katchewan or federal elections’ since he entered politics in 1914; He reached the end of that string when a Conservative won his Melville, -Sask., seat.

PREVIOUS HIGH

The biggest previous election victory by any party was in 1949, when Lib e r al s under newly- chosen leader Louis St. Laurent won 190 seats in a 262-seat Com- mons.

Almost from the first Atlantic- area returns, the pattern of Con- servative victory took shape.

First polls closed in Newfound- land at 4:30 p.m. EST. Two hours and 32 minutes later- when Central Canada polls had been closed only 62 minutes-—The Canadian Press reported re-elec- tion of the Diefenbaker govern- ment.

Eighteen minutes later CP said the Progressive Conserva- tives would have‘ an over-all majority.

Then, with the full picture of the Conservative inroads into Liberal Quebec, the score of the Diefenbaker landslide be- came apparent.
