Coalition
Quivers
DEFEAT
of
Gordon
Wismer
by
only
eight
THE
'
votes
for
the
leadership
of
the
Liberal
party
in
British
Columbia
may
yet
prove
what
classicists
call
a
pyrrhic
victory
for
Byron
Johnson,
meaning
one
won
at
too
great
a
cost.
While
Mr.
Johnson
was
a
coalitionist,
his
chief
supporters
were
strongly
against
coalition.
On
the
other
hand,
the
mover
of
Mr.
Wismer's
nomination
and
Mr.
Wismer
himself
were
both
strong
supporters
of
coalition.
Yet
some
metropolitan
newspapers
were
editorializing
to
the
effect
that
Johnson's
victory
ensured
a
continuance
of
coalition.
The
current
situation
in
the
cabinet
at
Victoria
would
indicate
that
.coalition
is
close
to
the
rocks
unless
Mr.
Johnson
sacrifices
some
Liberal
prestige
in
the
cabinet.
It
now
appears
that
Mr.
Anscomb
has
been
placed
into
a
position
of
holding
the
key
to
the
coalition
executive
chamber.
He
can,
if
he
wants
to,
insist
either
on
the
fulfilment
of
the
demand
of
the
Progressive-Conservative
executive
that
he

retaining
a
coalition
government.
Mr.
Johnson
will
now
be
on
the
horns
of
a
dilemma.
Should
he
accede
to
the
latter
request,
which
we
presume
is
the
one
that
will
be
pressed
by
Mr.
Anscomb,
he
will
be
deserting
his
friends
who
were
for
a
more
vigorous
Liberal
cabinet
and
organization.
They
will
hardly
support
a
reduction
of
Liberals
in
the
cabinet
in
order
to
maintain
coalition
which
they
hope
soon
to
destroy.
Should
Mr.
Anscomb,
therefore,
press
for
equal
representation
of
Conservatives
in
the
cabinet,
Mr
Johnson
must
either
accept
this
situation
at
the
risk
of
losing
his
own
Liberal
supporters
or
defy
Mr.
Anscomb
and
form
a
cabinet
of
Liberals.
This
is
the
course
he
will
most
likely
follow
in
our
opinion
if
he
is
as
astute
as
a
good
leader
ought
to
be.
He
will
then
satisfy
his
"wee
free"
straight
Liberal
supporters
who
put
him
in
as
leader,
build
up
hiheral;
organization
and
carry
on
until
such
time
a
he
considers
it
necessary
to
go
to
the
country.
Before
doing
so,
however,
he
will
be
compelled
to
unite
uie
Wismer
forces
of
Liberalism
into
a
compact
Liberal
party.
All
this,
however,
will
be
at
the
price
of
coalition
which
would
end,
although,
following
a
general
election,
could
be
re-established.
The
current
situation
is
definitely
making
political
history
in
British
Columbia.
