N. S. Electors A Vote Today

HALIFAX. Oct. 32—Fr0m the glcns qt Ca e Breton to Yarmouth County's til e-swept Tusket Islands, the voters of! Nova Scotia will go in the polls tomorrow to choose the seaside province's 14th legislat- ure since confederation.

Public interest in the election remained light through the month- lohg campaign and a heavy‘ vote was not. expected, althoug the electoral list was the longest on record and 83 candidates were con- wsting the 30 seats at stake.

The polls open at a am. and close at 6 pm.

Contesting the 30 seats are 30 Liberals, 30 Progressive-Conservat- ives, 20 C.C.F., two Labor-Progres- sives and one Independent-COP. Stan Mpg at dissolution was 21 Lib- erals, four ve Conservat- ives. three C. C: (and two seats, formerly held by Liberals, vacant.

Minister '

OTTAWA" Oct. 2a - (Special)- While no decision likely will be made until after Prime Minister King has returned from Britain. it was leamed today in (he 011108 of Veterans’ Affairs Minister Mac- kenzie, that J.L. Douglas, the Lib. eral member ior Queen's, is being considered as Parjamenla-ry 115915- tant to Fisheries Minister Bridges.

m. Mackenzie, who during the Prime Minister's absence from 0t. tawa, is operating in the Commons as acting Government leader, al- ready has interviewed Mr. Douglas on his availability for the 1108i- ghould the appointment be made.

It. is understood that the Prlrwe Edward Island members are ignor. ing party lirles and getting behind Mr. Douglas.

"The way things are", explained one oi them. “We are men from Prince Edward Island before we are Tories or Grits "

At Mir, Mackanzieks office it was learned that W. Chester S. Mc- Lurs played a Dart. in the hock- ground. in arranging the interview- He end Mr. Douglas have been in conference a number of times on the possibility oi hurrying the BP- polntmept.

MacNaught A Contender

J Watson MacNaught, the Lib- eral member from Prince, also 15,0 contender, but Mr. poueias is un- derstood to have the edge.

The ammintment carries an add. itional salary of $2.000 and the man who gets it will have the large administrative respoosibllty 0f '1"- ecting Canada's fisheries rollc". since the Minister functions always as the figure-head oi the depart. merit, leaving the actual work to his Parliamentary assistant.

While naturally at this stage ot developments none oi them W181} t0 be quoted. it is learned that Prince Edward Island's small representa- tion in the H0059 is planning to make up with cooperation m! l tum, what they lack in numbers.

The bill, designed to give a clear. er . definition of national staltus. will upon proclamation extend cit- izenship to these millions oi Can. actions while at the same time re- tainlng for them the privileges and advantages of status as a British subject.

In addition the act. introduced by] State Secretary Paul Martin, wil:--

1. Dispel confusion and mis. understanding resulting from the fact. Canadians are listed under three ciaaslflcations — "Canadian citizen,” "Canadian national" and "British subject."

2. Grant to married women the right. to control their national status. They previously could not become naturalized as independ- ent persons.

3. Provide automatic loss oi cit. izenship ior a naturalized citizen who stays out oi the country for six years without maintaining a "substantial connection" with the Dominion or maid-n! B- Ywfly dec- laration of intenalon to return
