64-year
olo
Premier
TJPattullo
toolc
to
thi
air
to
successfully
campaign
for
the
re-eleCtloU
"of
himself
and
his
Liberal
government.
Between
a
Thursday
and
a
Sunday,
May
12-15,
he
flew
about
1500
miles
from
Vancouver
to
Prince
Rupert,
Stewart
and
back
to
Victoria.
It
wasn't
a
new
experience
for
him
as
he
made
an
aerial
tour
to
the
Yukon
last
summer
and
commuted
between
the
coast
and
Ottawa
by
air
several
times.
His
Yukon
visit
had
a
sequel
this
spring
when
he
announced
that
the
provincial
and
Dominion
governments
had
agreed
to
Inclusion
of
the
Territory
Into
British
Columbia
If
the
legislative
authorities
agreed.
He
frst
came
west
as
a
Yukon
government
official.
With
gold-rush
days
over
he
went
south
to
Prince
Rupert
and
has
represented
that
seat
In-
the
legislature
since
1916.
He
will
be
dean
of
the,
legislature.
He
was
made
minister
of
lands
In
1916
and
has
been
a
minister,
opposition
leader
or
premier
since.
His
Special
Powers
Act
after
he
became
Premier
In
1933
aroused
national
interest.
It
gave
many
of
the
powers
of
the
legislature
to
the
government,
but
It
was
never
invoked.
On
national
questions
he
strongly
favors
amendment
of
the
British
North
America
Act,
and
on
national
defence
he
has
stated:
"Canada
can
never
be
a
military
country
but
we
should
be
prepared
to
do
our
share
In
any
cause
we
believe
just."
He
Is
a
native
of
Woodstock,

In

Premier
Pattullo
asked
him
to
convey
to
the
people
of
this

his
deen
appreciation
of
theii
support
yesterday
and
to
assurf
them
that
he
would
nol

Mr.
Pattullo
also
spoke
of
the
fact
that
he
would
have
a
good
working
majority
in
the
Legisla
ture
but
that
the
opposition
was
running
neck

and
it
was

I

which
would

Appreciation
of

To
the
People
of
Northern
British
Columbia:
I
wish
to
extend
to
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
my
deep
appreciation
of
the
splendid
support
given
me
in
the
election
yesterday
and
to
the
people
of
all
the
northern
constituencies
that
elected
supporters
of
the
government.
This
will
assist
the
present
government
to
carry
out
its
policies.
I
feel
most
deeply
the
renewed
trust
imposed
in
me
in
my
own
constituency
and
I
assure
you
I
shall
try
my
best
to
be
deserving
of
that
trust.

VICTORIA,
June
2:
(CP)
Government
benches
in
British
Columbia's
Nineteenth
Legislature
today
were
reserved
for
Liberal
followers
of
Premier
T.
D.
Pattullo
while
those
of
His
Majesty's
honorable
opposition
were
set
aside
for
newly
elected
Conservative
members.
The
mandate
to
govern
this
coast
province
for
another
five
years
was
given
to
the
6
1-year
old
Ontario-bom
Premier
early
this
morning
when
counting
of
ballots
cast
in
the
general
election
showed
that
he
and
29
followers
had
been
returned
with
another
leading
in
one
of
two
ridings
so
far
undecided.
Taking
over
the
Opposition
from
the
British
Columbia
Constructive
forces
of
Rev.
Robert
Connell
who
failed
to
elect
a
single
one
of
their
fourteen
candidates,
the
Conservative
party
returns
to
the
provincial
political
ring
under
leadership
of
Dr.
Frank
Patterson
after
an
absence
of
four
years.
The
Conservatives,
with
victory
.conceded
in
cightscaLs,
just
edged
out
Dr.
Lylc
Telford's
Co-operative
Commonwealth
Federation
group
who
arc
watching
for
a
seventh
member
in
Burnaby
where
Ernest
Winch,
Burnaby
brick-layer,
is
leading
six
opponents
by
a
comfortable
margin
with
five
polls
to
come.
Social
Credit
proponents
see
all
of
their
eighteen
candidates
defeated.
Only
in
Mackenzie
was
any
kind
of
a
showing
made
and,
even
there,
the
leader
of
the
movement,
A.
D.
Crecr,
was
far
behind
four
opponents.
This
riding,
along
with
Burnaby,
is
still
doubtful
with
the
Conservative
candidate
in
the
lead.
Two
Socialists
and
one
Communist
in
lower
mainland
industrial
ridings
failed
to
break
into
the
political
scene
as
did
the
one
man
Financial
Justice
party
in
Vancou-ver-Burrard.
Liberals,
who
had
thirty-five
seats
in
the
last
legislature,
lost
six
to
the
reorganized
Conservatives
and
one
to
the
C.
C.
F.
but
took
one
Peace
River
from
the
Independents
and
another
from
the
Constructionists.
The
C.

took

winning

L.

RE-ELECTED
Premier
T.
D.
Pattullo's
entire
cabinet
was
re-elected
including
Dr.
George
Weir,
Provincial
Secretary
and
drafter
of
the
state
health
insurance,
who
retained
a
scat
in
Vancouver-Point
Grey
where
Conservatives
replaced
two
other
former
Liberal
members
S.
S.
McKcen
and
Robert
Wilkinson.
Dr.
Frank
Patterson,
noted
bone
specialist,
called
into
the
political
arena
to
rehabilitate
the
Conservative
fortunes
after
the
1933
defeat
of
Dr.
S.
F.
Tolmie's
Conser-
j
vativc
regime
which
went
to
the
polls
as
Unionists,
was
returned
in

a
majority
of
around
250,

taking
the
seat
from

the
former

Dr.
Lylc
Telford
white-haired
C.
C.
F.
leader,
and
Harold
Winch,
rolled
up
impressive
margins
in
Vancouver
East.
Telford
with
more
than
six
thousand
and
his
youthful
running-male
with
close
to
that
mark.
GOVERNMENT
ENDORSED
Government
supporters
promptly
interpreted
the
Liberal
victory
as
an
endorsation
of
the
Premier's
avowed
intention
of
carrying
on
an
energetic
effort
to
obtain
better
terms
for
British
Columbia
under
Confederation.
Liberal
campaigners
made
the
better
terms
question
one
of
the
main
planks
in
their
platform.
Political
observers
likewise
look
to
the
Conservative
bloc
to
urge
in
the
legislature
drastic
administrative
eco-
t
nomies.
It
was
around
the
economy
plank
and
a
rcdtic-
tion
of
the
number
of
seats
in
the
legislature
that
they
built
their
platform.
Prominently
mentioned
as
attorney-general
in
the
new
Liberal
cabinet
is
Gordon
Wismer
who
was
returned
in
Vnncntiver
Centre.
It
is
expected
that
Premier
Pattullo,
who
has
held
the
portfolio
since
the
elevation
of
