O'I'I‘AWA_ Dec. 1B-(CP)-'I‘he possibility that Mme Pierre F. Cnsgrnin may be the next member of Parliament for Chnrievolx-Sag- ucnuy, the Quebec constituency her husband has represented since 1917. was seen tonight.

Hon. Pierre F, Casgrain only s seat when he was appointed to the Quebec bench. leaving the post of Secretary of State in the federal cabinet,

A prominent Quebec Liberal told The Canadian Press today that Muie. Casgrnln, prominent in Can- adian women's work, has been up. preached to accept the Liberal iicriiinatioii in her husband's rid- ing. He was not sure, however, of the extent or the movement to get Mme. Casgraln to let her name go before n. Liberal nominating convention.

For years her father, the late Sir Rodolphe l<‘0rget_ represented Charlevulx-Moiitmoicncy as a Con- servative in the House of Com- mons. when his son-in-iaw ran as a. Liberal Sir Rodolphe did-not op- pose him and Mr. Casgrain won the sent. I-Ic continued to rep- resent the constituency when it ivns enlarged by the addition of Sag-uenay.

Mine. Casgrain, unlike her fa- ther, has always been a staunch Liberal, friends say. Also she has

A always been the champion of wo-

men's rights and ivorkcd for years for the right of Quebec women to vote in Quebec elections-u right they won in 1940 when was president of the league for W0. men's Rights.

She also is credited with having

- much to do in the recognition of

women lawyers in Quebec when they were admitted to the bar of her native province last year.
