Pearson campaign officials quickly spread the word that the federal Liberal chief was encouraged by the Quebec wing‘s reaction to his nuclear arms policy and by the demon- stration of amity from Premier Lesage who hasn‘t appeared on a federal election platform since 1958 when he left federal politics to lead the provincial Liberals.

They maintained that Mr. Lesage's presence. at times leading the applause for Mr. Pearson. was a public demon- stration to his Quebec followers that he is behind the Pearson campaign.
