Occasionally those who have been travelling with him have had the suspicion that his confidence wasn't as complete as he made it apear. But the fact really seems to be that he harbors no doubts whatever. His indifference to his use of time in these final campaigning hours proves that. tnw.nri sncinl tpmv- !we11 At one staBe ne was P'an- move Kangaroos have six teeth in; i ""'XS'f , i upper jaw, only two in the lower, j . - ' ning to close his campaign with a Saturday meeting in the Quebec district. Now he has decided that another Quebet meeting isn't needed. Whatever else he may be doing, the Prime Minister is making itical history by his tactics of ity. This is loeicul because socinl " security measures are expressions of sociuflft philosophy to which the Libera H. Conservatives and Social Credit are opposed. Against their philosophies the CCF has to show that social problems exist, to convince Unit only socialist measures will hil the needs, and to arouse public-support to demand that such measures be instituted. Such social security as we have is a tribute to a determined group of CCP members who have never yet been numerous enough to form either government or official opposition. Clearly emerging from the tast 20 years comes a lesson. Social progress is achieved only the candidate, often unreasonable behavior of -the voter. A story which illustrates the point was often related by former U.S. Vice-President Alben Bark-ley. He described the case of a candidate who, running again for an office which he had held for many years, was having trouble with one particular constituent who used to be a supporter. Hearing that the man was favoring the opposition, he felt obliged to remind him how, on past occasions, he had got his brother a job, put his son through school, bailed out his uncle, saved his daughter from disgrace, and so forth. "Yes, I know,'' the voter replied, ''but what have you done for me lately?" Less well known but more historically accurate was the case of a certain Rev. A. W. Hone who took a confirmed old Tory Orangeman to hear a speech by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the general election of 1908. Sir Wilfrid was in inspired mood that night and the audience was visibly moved, including the old Tory. On the way home in the buggy, this staunch Conservative was very quiet and presently' started to sniffle, while tears rolled down his cheeks. "Sir Wilfrid is the only politician who ever moved me to tears," he said in explanation as he pulled out his red bandana. Suspecting a notable conversion, Mr. Hone remarked, "I suppose you will be voting for him, then." "Not by a jugful," his friend snorted. "Do you think I would vote for that old reprobate?" -. These are the inscrutable ways with which all politicians must deal. Win or lose in this election, each of them deserves credit for trying to make sense of the most complex creature on earth the. . voter. - , . this last critical campaign week. No other party leader before him ever had the supreme and superb confidence to try to coast over th? finishing line. If they work out, the tactics are spectacular. If they don't work out, there are going to be a lot of rank-and-file Liberals with harsh things to say about how Mr. St. Laurent threw the big game away when victory was clearly in sight .
