JOHN'S, Nfid. (CP) — The rest of Canada can expect to see and hear a lot more from Pre mier Smallwood now that his Lib- eral government has been elec- ted for the fourth consecutive time since Confederation. The premier, Thursday's election in which his Liberals won 31 of 36 contested seats, made plans to tour Can- ada to tell the people about New- foundiand and her problems. “It’s not just Joey Smallwood's hot air now. It's not the talk .of a crank. It's the Newfoundland people . . . and the people of Can- ada, they all know the truth now. The people aie on our side.” Mr. Smallwood said his Cana- dian tour will take a lot of plan- ning. RESTS AT FARM He rested Friday at his farm after three weeks of hectic cam- paigning. But he was enthused about his upcoming tour in which he hopes to explain the story of Term 29, the controversial clause in Con- |federation agreeents which pre- cipated the sudden election. It was when the two - member tion in the legislature opposed the premier’s resolution condemning Ottawa on Term 29 that the elec- tion was called to “‘punish” the — by defeating them at the polls. The voters eliminated the two | PC dissenters, Opposition Leader Malcolm Hollett and Rex Renouf, but \three other Tonservatives were elected thiis adding to their! strength. Mr. allwood left his Bona- vista N riding to personally challenge Mr. Hollett in St. John’s West. The premier won with a sweeping 2,049 majority. Newcomer John O'Dea of the United Newfoundland Party de- feated Mr. Renouf by a slim 136 majority in St. John’s South. Now there are still doubts Mr. Smallwood could win full House tion condemning Ottawa. In the original legislature vote on the resolution, the two PC's were the only dissenters. Now with three Conservatives elected, another vote could presumably be 32-3 with the UNP hacking the Lib- erals, PC’s 3, UNP’s 2. Voters in the Oct. 2, 1956 election picked 32 Liberals and four PC's.
