Anriosi Nine Million To Decide New Gov'l Today

By HAROLD MORRISON

The political caravans have come to the end of the trail. The cheers. l99l'S. dram! Ind Plnm" of the campaign are over. The battle of the ballot box begins.

1-it-om coast to coast. million! of voters will show today what manner of new government they

want.

Will it be a strong federal ad- ministration or a weak one? wlll it be one of old or new complex- ion? Will it require a coalition of parties to function? Between 8.- 900.000 and 9.000.000 eligible vot- crs hold the answer.

Balloting begins at B a.m. local standard time, Polling bootlis will close at 6 p.m. and within a few hours. as votes are still being counted. Canada will know the elPCloTS' decision.

MAIN THEMES VABIED

which pai'-ly's campaign has held greatest appeal?

Prime Minister St. Laurcnt's main theme has been that only lllc Liberal party. in office for 22 years. can provide good strong

government. John Diefenbaker. the Progres- sive Conservative leader. dis-

agrees and lays Canadians may lost their' individual freedom if the Liberals re returned. He promises to educe tote! and increase social security benefits if given a mandate. Mr. St. Laur- on! says Progressive Conservative promises may mean higher. not lower. taxation.

M. J. Coldwell, CCF leader. Dro- poses a variety of social accuiity measures and greater aid for farmers.

The main pledge of Solon Law. Social Credit leader. is a Sl00-a- fnonlll old-age pension. The pres-

gni pension of 840 becomes 846 a month July I.

All four leaders have made vig- orous campaign IPPe8l5 but 50- clsl credit has insufficient cand'- dates to hope to form a gov-

HOLIDAY VOTE IN 195!

Election timing may have a bearing on the size of the vote. 1n the last election Aug. 10. 1958. many Canadians were on sum- iner holidays. A total of 5.701.963 votes were cast-87 per cent of these eligible.

In 1949 when the vote was held June 27. there was a record turn- out-5.903.572 or 74 per cent.

Advance polls for those who work away from home on election day were open last Thursday. Fri- day Ind Saturday. Members oi the armed forces. about 117.000. began voting last Monday. Their wives. about 7.000. also are vot- ing. About 5,000 Doukhobors are eligible to vote for the first time undnr changed regulations.

Five candidates withdrew be- tween nomination day and 0 a.m. Saturday. 48 hours before polling. the deadline for withdrawals.

Dropping out Friday wen Ralph Medgessy. Social Credit candidate in Toronto Davenport. nnd Amable Uellet. Independent Liberal in the Quebec riding of Matapedia-Matane.

Three others who previously withdrew are Gaston Gcllnsl. Franc Liberal, in Trois-Rivieres; J. Bonaventure Moreau. Progres- slve Conservative. Kamournska. Que: and Alfred Green. Indo- pendent Libei-at York South, Ont.

TWO NATIONAL TOURS

During the campaign. only Mr. St. Laurent and Mr. Diefenbaker. among the party leaders. went through the grind of a prolonged national tour. Mr. Coldwell. 60. and Mr. Low. 57. stuck mostly to the Prairies. Each suffered I heart attack during the last Par- llament.

Mr. St. Laurent. 75. and 61-year- old Mr. Diefenbaker kept up an almost running duel across the country. There were last-minuts skirmishes during the weekend as they competed for votes right up to election day.

Both are lawyers but their cam- paign styles contrasted. Mr. Dio- fenbaker at the start presented his audiences with jokes. stories and jabs at the Liberals. Mr. St. Laurent opened his algn with a quiet. courtroom approach and treated opposition charges lightly

Later in the campaign. as the two tustled for Ontario's vote. the election fighting was more l)lf'.U.'. Mr. Dlefenbakcr maintained that the Liberals would " i A in- dividual freedom n Csnad.

The prime minister charged Mr. Dlefenbaker with talking "rsnkest tommyrot." He said the Conserva- tives had tried to wreck the last Parliament and that Mr. Diefcn- baker was keeping his party's platform a secret.

The epidemic is caused by a mutant virus which sidesteps nat- ural body defences against nor- mal ilu virus. This means that to establish truly effective guards against it. whole populations would require vaccination.
