An Impressive Leader ALTHOUGH Arthur Laing is not Premier (yet), ho had a provincial leader's stature as he iddresserl a Prince Rupert audience Saturday night. For an incredible two-hour period which seemed much less, Mr. Laing had his listeners following him :?very inch of the way as he made a verbal tour .h rough provincial, and sometimes federal, politics. There was no doubting his concern over the nismanagenient he found and one could well believe lis promise that, if the Liberals form the next government, their elected members will work as MLAs have never worked before. Tin's promise does, in fact, contain the essence of his whole view on how to administer the people's affairs. Clearly he does not sanction the attitude that members are just a numerical quantity which enable three or four to run the whole show. He seriously respects the intent of government by representation and, under his administration, each ' constituency would have the best possible assurance that its affairs would be considered through the medium of its own representative, whether or not that member was on the side in control. . While Mr. Laing's opinions are sufficiently strong and persuasive to make up an effective address, a valuable additional factor is that he is a man with a sense of humor. Not only does this give him an extra facility not available to everybody for putting points across, but it reveals a human quality which would be useful in a position that deals essentially with people. Another feature particularly reassuring to northern audiences is that Mr. Laing sees B.C. as a province running north and south, not east and west. The fact that he was interested enough to include this part of the country in his campaign is sufficient proof of this by itself, but Mr. Laing took time in his address to confirm the view. It stands in remarkable contrast to the-attitude of the Social Credit government which, disdaining its three northern members as cabinet material, could only think woefully of its lack of representation on Vancouver Island. It was good, too, to hear from this riding's own candidate, Bruce Brown. Legal training carries its special advantages to anyone in politics and, in Mr. Brown's case, enabled him to give a masterly summation of the state of affairs in this province. A remark from the audience about his being an "Attorney-General" for Mr. Laing carried as much wisdom as wit. Considering his work on the school board here, "Minister of Education" would also have seemed appropriate. It was an impressive team that had the floor on Saturday night.

As a matter of fact, Prince Albert, which is the city where Diefenbaker lives and practices law, has been definitely hostile to him politically in the past. He sought election there in 1925 and 1926.
