CHARLOTTETOWN (CF) - A record in Canadian provincial election cleanup: was achieved Wednesday night in the Prince Ed- ward lsland election when the count in every poll was reported 3 1-2 hours after voting ended.

it was the result of a co-opera- tive effort hy Canadian Press member papers and associated radio stations with the help of provincial government agencies. deputy returning officers and the Island Telephone C pany Lim- ited. which made its facilities available as a compilation centre.

The polls closed at 6 pm. ADT. The reitelection of the Liberal government was flashed at 7:40 pm. and the last poll count was reported at 9:20 pm. The final report came from Cape Traverse. a farming communly near the Borden ferry terminal.

The previous best record was in 1951 when one poll-Rocky Point. across from this city on Hills- borough bay-failed to report be- cause the famous red mud of the island was churned up by a heavy rain. making the highway impas- sable.

Two-hundred and fifty deputy returning officers finished count- ing the ballots Wednesday night. picked up ielephones and said "election returns." The calls were sent to the big compilation centre in the Charlottetown excliance. Here the returns were sorted, com piled and handed to news and radio wires.

TWO YIAII LATE!

The election was two years to the day after Mr. Maihesou, then health minister. was sworn in to succeed the late ex-premier and Senator J. Walter Jones.

It was the sixth straight win for the Liberals. and the biggest majority since 1935 when they swept all 30 seats to defeat the Progressive Conservative govern- ment led by Dr. MacMillan.

The campaign was one of the most intensive in years as the two parties waged a straight bat- tle in the 23rd election since Prince Edward island joined con- federation. For the first time in several elections there were no CCF candidates. and no Indepen. dents.

LONDON, (Reuters) -- Brlhin's general election campaign closed Wednesday night with an appeal from Sir Winston Churchill to vote today for the ”progressiva and peace-seeking” Conservative gov- ernment of his successor as prime minister. Sir Anthony Eden.

Like dozens of candidates half his age, the 80-year-old statesman. veteran of 15 election campaigns. was out vote-catching for himself and his party in his tituency during the final hours of the cam- paign. He is running as an ordin- sry candidate for the 630-seat. new House of Commons in Woodford. a northeast London suburb.

Words-and a few fists-flew furiously in the excited final round of barnstorming. It contrasted sharply with the apathetic cam- paign up to the closing days.

Eden. who replaced Churchill April 5. saw a slugging match a few yards from him during a speech at Hude, Cheshire Tuesday night. As police moved in to break up a brawl between a Heckler and Eden's supporters. the unruffied prenlrier appealed for calm-and got i.
