CLEAN CAMPAIGN PROMISED

National Leader of the New
Democratic Party, T. C.
“Tommy” Douglas told IWA
Convention delegates that the
NDP has the best chance of
any of the parties to make

substantial gains on Novem-
ber 8.

Regardless of the issues
raised during the campaign,
he said, the NDP will not re-
sort to muckraking in an ef-
fort to gain votes.

He stated his party will

concentrate on bringing its
program before the people of
Canada to show what a truly
democratic party like the

NDP could do for them if
elected.

At the moment, he said,
thirty percent of the Cana-
dian electorate is still unde-
cided on how to vote.

He charged that the old-
line parties’ bungling had left
Canada with a lack of na-
tional purpose, and strong

leadership was required to
restore Canadian’s faith in
their country.

The future belongs to Can-
ada, he said, but for Cana-
dians to receive their inheri-
tance, a new sense of direc-
tion must be offered.

He added, the NDP is the
only party with a national
purpose and a new and proper
sense of direction which
would: not only unite but
benefit all segments of society.

“You've got to save your strength, darling.”

"Cuddle up a little closer, honey
hold me tight... ."
