In Newfoundland, the first cial election following the Island's entry into Confederation March st, brought the election or a Liberal government. Mr. St. Laurent took over the [prime rnlnistership from Rt. Hon. W. L. MacKenzie King in Novem- ber, i948. He led the government through one session and then cali- ed an election tor June 27. The Progressive Conservatives with George Drew, former Ontario premier as their new leader, made what appeared to be a strong bid tor power. But when the voting was over. Mr. St. Illi/urent and his party had gained ground all across the country at the exipense oi’ the Progressive Conservatives, the C. C. F. and the Social Credit parties.
