Alberta swings to two front- -runners EDMONTON (CP) — John Tumer and Jean Chretien have the declared support of at least half the Alberta delegates to the Liberal leadership ‘convention. But the two front-runners. still have reason ‘to look over their shoulders occasionally and. check the rest of the pack.

He has had to contend with a widespread bellef that Turner is the man who can lead the Liberals out of _ the wilderness in Alberta, where the party has not won a seat since the four it took in 1968. . “if there’s one word I have come to dislike in this campaign, it’s the word winnability.” Amember of the Liberals’ reform commission, Schmidt said the idea of.
