The polit- ical set-ups in each province differ considerably. : Alberta sees the C.C.F. as the principal challenge to ; Social Credit government the time of which many - believe is about up. The C.C.F. will probably not X figure very prominently either in Quebecor New (.Brunswick. In the former the Liberal government of Premier Godbout will have to contend with the Nationalist element as its principal adversary. There will be special interest in the New Brunswick election where the supposed Conservative-Progressive rejuvenation may make some impression on the strength of the Liberal government in what would appear to be largely a contest on old party lines.
