Party leaders still swinging ;
as election battle nears end | —

With the election battle nearing the showdown, party leaders were still

 

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

swinging hard on the hustings Wednesday. Pugilistic

some speeches.
The government has “licked”

unemployment, Prime Minister
Diefenbaker said at Brantford,

and later on a national TV
broadcast.
Liberal Leader Pearson re-

plied: “The only thing licked in
this country now is the Diefen-
baker government.”

In Vancouver T. C. Douglas
had the largest crowd of his
campaign — estimated at 10,000
by party officials — and the New
Democratic Party leader made
two speeches when the crowd
was put into two adjoining
arenas.

Speaking in the same arena
where raucous heckling and a
fis - swinging uproar drowned
out a speech by the prime min-
ister two weeks earlier, Mr. Doug-
Jas told an orderly audience that
to the best of his knowledge the
NDP wasn’t responsible.

BLAMES LIBERALS

But he said there was ‘‘over-
whelming evidence” that the
Liberal party was involved in a
subsequent wild demonstration
at Chelmsford, Ont. — a charge
denied by Mr. Pearson last night
at Kingston.

Social Credit Leader Robert N.
Thompson, speaking at Foam
Lake, Sask., said that four years
ago “Mr. Diefenbaker said he
wouldn't sleep a wink as long as

phrases even popped up in

 

there was one unemployed pcr-
son left in Canada.”

“I feel sorry for the poor old
fellow, It’s ubout time we gave
him a rest.

Someone else also said they
were sorry. The Chelmsford town
council wrote Mr. Diefenbaker
apologizing for “incidents” which
marked his June 2 campaign ap-
pearance there. It said most of
the demonstrators were from out
of town.

In a whirlwind tour of five
Southern Ontario cities and
towns Wednesday, Mr. Diefen-
baker said the next official re-
port on Canada’s unemployment
picture will show record high
employment.

“By July or August we will
have virtual full employment.”
MENTIONS U.S.

The prime minister also made
some pointed allusions to United
States opinions about his gov-
ernment,

At Guelph Wednesday night

 

he said he had read the great
majority of Americans want his
government defeated “because
we don’t do what we’re told.”

As prime minister he would
keep it that way. Mr. Diefen-
baker said.

Earlier at Galt he said the
U.S. government and newspapers
are “howling” because of the de-
valuation of the dollar’s ex-

‘Mr. Castonguay issued
last-minute reminder in the
hope of reducing the number of
rejected ballots. In the 1958
election 69,842 of 7,357, 139 bal-
lots, less than one per cent, were
rejected. In 1957 it was 74,710
of 6,680,690, slightly over one pcr
cent.

Each polling booth ts equipped
with a pencil, and sample ballot
is on the wall as a guide to the
voter.

To determine why ballots are
rejected, Mr. Castonguay stud-
ied all 74,710 from the 1957 clec-
tion and found that the largest
group, 35 per cent, were ruled
out by deputy returning officers
for such reasons as:

Writing “yes” after the name
of one candidate und “no” after

SOME WERE BLANK

Twenty-three per cent of those
losing their ballots voted for
more than one candidate, 18 per
cent used a tick mark instead of
an X and eight per cent of the
ballots were completely blank.

Another 714 per cent lost their
vole by using a pen or colored
pencil they brought with them to
the poll. Five per cent wrolc

as “1, 2, 3, ete.” This occurred
mainly in Manitoba, Alberta and

The remaining two per cent of
the total were actually spoiled
