By DAL WARRINGTON TORONTO (CP) -- Premier Robert Stanfield of Nova Scotia did it again Saturday night. Undefeated in 19 years of provincial politics, he scored another victory in his unbroken string and walked onto a new and larger stage as national leader of the Progressive Con- servative party. Cool, taciturn, professorial, Mr. Stanfield, now 53, is almost the exact opposite of what most people expect in a_ politician. But his record of success in his home province has earned him a reputation for being unbeata- ble. His supporters see his victory at the Conservative leadership convention as a sign he will be just as successful on the federal scene. He himself predicted last week that he will be prime min- ister of Canada within a year. As he sat with his wife Mary, son Max and daughter Sarah in Maple Leaf Gardens waiting for the crucial ballots to be counted he may have thought for a moment of the night in Halifax in 1948 when he was elected leader of the party in Nova Sco- tia, almost against his will. WASN'T WORRIED At any rate, he showed few signs of anxiety in the hot and crowded hubbub of a voting By DAVE McINTOSH the game of power politics, a rule, he said, it goes to was on the platform the Conservative session that lasted allmost 11 hours. Like his entry into provincial politics 19 years earlier, his decision to run for the national leadership came after months, even years, of apparent reluc- tance, punctuated by state- ments that he had no wish to get into federal politics. The Nova Scotia Conserva- tives were almost flat when young Bob Stanfield took com- mand at Halifax at the age of 34. The Liberals under the late Premier Angus L, Macdonald were strongly entrenched in the Nova Scotia legislature. The Conservatives held not a single seat. The very next year Mr. Stanfield led a small band of followers into the house, increased his strength in the 1953 election and defeated the government in 1956, two years after Mr. Macdonald's death. Since then it has been a rec- ord of steadily growing success ~-- 39 seats out of 43 in 1963; 40 out of 46 in 1967. CONFOUNDS EXPERTS Bob Stanfield has never been noted for his platform oratory, hand man, Finance Minister G. I. Smith, says, "'when the chips are down he always comes through." When he has time to prepare a speech in advance he is usually convincing, even elo- quent, és This latter ability paid off at the leadership convention. Mr. Stanfield's calm, reasoned speech to the convention policy committee Tuesday night, stacked against the hard-hitting oratory of more voluble oppo- nents, set in motion a Stanfield bandwagon. Many doubted he could do it again in the bigger auditorium of Maple Leaf Gardens. But there again his plain, matter- of-fact delivery obviously impressed the delegates. LECTURED VOTERS In recent years, standing on a solid platform of political suc- cess, the premier has not found it necessary to make elaborate promises to win elections. In last May's Nova Scotia cam- paign he even lectured the vot- ers with the need for prudence in provincial financing, hinting at impending tax increases. He followed the same tactics HE'S UNLIKE MOST POLITICIANS rations of non - policy. Some editorial writers said they could not make out what he stood for. He said he wants the Con- servatives to be "a party in which the pursuit of victory is a means to an end, not an end in itself." He. preached unity, both in the party and in the nation. He didn't have all the answers and he wanted all the advice he could get. 'IT am not going to dictate policy to this party,"' he said, **hecause I consider the pursuit of truth to be the common exer- cise of all." However, 'he gave his views on what he considers some basic problems of Canadian government: é On Confederation--'Until we possess the formal authority to amend our constitution surely no Canadian can feel that this country is wholly sovereign." On 'fiscal policy--"The gov- ernment of Canada must return to the practice of treating the budget as an instrument of na- tional policy." On foreign affairs--"We must - invest a substantially greater part of our recources in a pro- gram of assistance to, and Stanfield Confounds The Political Analysts On the cities--'There must be comprehensive planning for a dynamic program of expand- ing urban development." Dalton Camp, the national PC president, is said to have had a hand in persuading Mr. Stan- field to seek the federal leader- ship. Mr. Camp assisted in several Nova' Scotia election campaigns. Since he was the man who set up the machinery to oust John G. Diefenbaker as leader, this gave the Stanfield campaign an anti-Diefenbaker aspect, Yet the Nova Scotia premier has been: a. dependable sup- porter of Mr. Diefenbaker in Pope Appears In Public VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Ail- ing Pope Paul appeared in public Sunday for the first time © since falling ill.a week ago. In a trembling voice, he expressed hope to a cheering crowd in St. Peter's Square that he will soon recover. The Pope appeared at his stu- dio window to give his Sunday noon blessing 13 hours after his doctor announced that the iil- ness was acute cystopyelitis-- inflammation of the urinary system. Dr. Mario Fontana said it was .hoped the pontiff, who turns 70 on Sept. 26, will be able to resume his normal schedule "as soon as possible," federal election ca igns. Again Saturday night in his vice tory speech he paid tribute to the Chief as a man who has done much for Canada. To those who know him well it all seemed to fit into the familiar Stanfield pattern: The unspectacular, reasonable approach, even when dealing with political opponents; plenty of time for discussion before a decision is made but once made it is firmly carried out.
