Stanfield Tues- day became the first Progres- sive Conservative premier in Nova Scotia history to win a fourth consecutive mandate from the voters. The 53-year-old premier, who political scientists say projects a father-image to the electorate, led his PCs to a smashing vic- ait in the. province's 26th gen- re election since Confedera- jon. The Conservatives, have been in office since 1956 when Mr. Stanfield stepped from the poli- tical wings to centre-stage po- sition. They lost a little in the popular vote Tuesday but made a net gain of one seat. © The victory was decisive enough to prompt the premier to say he was "very delighted." Final standings: 1967 1963 PCs 40 39 Liberals ae Total 46 43 Membership in the new house rose to 46 from 43 when. three seats were added by redistribu- tion this year. WATCHED LEAD BUILD Mr. Stanfield, who once said he wanted to devote his life-- in this order--to his family and public life, was at his unflap- pable best as he watched the Nova Scotians In Second Straight Election For the second straight elee- tion the NDP was shut out. Even party Leader James Ait- chison, a 57-year-old Dalhousie University political scien- tist, was an early loser. He was beaten in Cape Breton East by a Conservative. Dr. Aitchison chose the coal- mining constituency because it once was a CCF stronghold. He pledged to keep the area's col- lieries in operation until alter- native employment for 5,000 coal miners could be found. It was the second decisive win by a Canadian provincial government in eight days. Al- berta's Social Credit govern- ment won re-election easily May 23 Mr. Stanfield's cabinet was returned to a man. The Conservative share of the popular vote slipped three points to 53 per cent from 56 in 1963. The Liberals share rose to 42 per cent from 40 while the NDP moved to five per cent from four. A total of 118 candidates were in the race. Both PCs and Lib- erals fielded 46. The NDP of- fered 24 and there were two in- dependents.

ENDS LIBERAL REIGN Mr. Stanfield was named PC leader in 1948 at the height of Liberal Angus L. Macdonald's long popularity at the polls. Eight years later, after method- ically rebuilding his party, he ended 23 years of Liberal ad- ministration with an upset-vic- tory. Mr. Macdonald died in 1954. The new Conservative pre- mier increased his strength to 27 seats in 1960, cutting the Lib- erals to 15 and holding the CCF party to one. In 1963, the Con- servatives practically obliter- ated the opposition--cutting the Liberals to four seats and blanking the NDP. The premier entered the most recent campaign on the 11-year record of his government. He stuck to this script for the most part and dismissed the Liberal platform as something 'they don't believe in it themselves, so why should 1?" The campaign, though gener- ally quiet, was not without its angry moments. Conservatives accused Liberals of dealing in "financial fiction" when they theirs. All four women candidates-- two Liberals and two NDP members were defeated as were two Negro contenders. The only woman ever elected to the Nova Scotia legislature, Conservative Gladys Porter, died earlier this year. There has never been a Negro MLA in the province. The Conservative victory raised anew the old speculation that Mr. Stanfield. may enter the race for national leadership of the PC party. But the 'pre- mier, who has shown increas- pr d to pay the full oper- ating cost' of education from the provincial treasury. Liberals said the Conserva- tives were going to the voters with "half-truths and mislead- ing statements." The NDP described the cam- paign promises of both major parties as "sickening."
