eve of another election There are indi cations that thc ractice is not what it used to be But it is still popular pas time Tory nicknamers for example have come up with Bigheaded Harold and The Little Man of Downing Street in their effort to cut Prime Minister Wilson down to size Wilson designates Conservative Leader Edward Heath as Selsdon Man Wil son never refers to his political oppon ents by name if he can help it Selsdon Park near Londonwos the site of the latest Tory policy conference In his next politica speech Wilson attacked Selsdon Man seemingly some pre historic creature like Neanderthal Man for designing society for the ruth less The prime minister liked the name so much that he used it in his next speech in the Commons as well These sobriquets seem feeble compar ed to the fullblooded political insults of the 19th Century when one Canadian pol itician Sir Francis Hlncks was known as the Hyena and another William Mc Dougull as Wandering Willie be cause he left the

the moat astute but also It Is not that nnlve it Is not Innocent enough to blindly build up its main enemy set strategy is much more likely This strategy would be to dlv Ido the vote for opposition pnr tie even more than it has been tn the past Though the ND come on sharply In the lost election the Liberal still got the larger vote So logical Conserviitlvc think lng Would be that by building up the ND It would take Mme of thc Liberal support and the op position vote would be more equally divided In threeparty election the margins of victory In Individual riding tend to be low and small reductions in the Liberal vote in various riding could tend to return sent to the government If this is the strategy and It is logical one here is one way In which It could backfire The strategy would be based on the premise that the NDP would take votes from the Lib eruls But this doesnt necessarily follow at oil One of the fuels of our 0n an0 voting in the post which Is shown in close study of re sults IS that votes tend ID switch much more from the Conservatives to the NDP than from the Liberals On the surface this may ap pear to be unlikely For the popular concEpI Is to put the Liberals and the N0 in roughly the same political area This concept has Conservatives as conservative and Liberals and NDPcrs us liberal But when you get into the dominant characteristics of the three parties and their mnmbur ships this is not correct anal ysis For there ist one Very strong characterlstic that is common to the Conservatives and the NDP This is selfas suredneax that they are right The policies that the Conserva tives tend to feel right about may be to the right And the NDP may be to the left PHOTO WW ELECTRIC ENGINE and power house on Windsor side of Detroit River Photo is dated 1910 Engine
