Final results showed Dr. Dy- mond with 7,510 votes, Mr. An- derson with 3,581 and Allan Mc- Phail, New Democratic Party candidate with 2,525. Despite constant rain and dense fog in some parts of the riding, 64 per cent of the 21,267 eligible voters turned out, Dr. Dymond won with five per cent less votes than he had in the 1963 election. The Lib- erals dropped three per cent with the NDP taking the extra eight per cent. ADMIT DEFEAT At 9:10 p.m. with slightly more than 30 polls counted both Mr. Anderson and Mr. McPhail admitted Dr. Dymond was the winner. Mr. Anderson was quiet about his defeat saying, "I did much as I expected. In some areas I did better than I ex- pected." Mr. McPhail was _ pleased with his showing and was hop- ing to beat out the Liberals for second place. '"'We are up fn all polls and are up sub- stantially in some," he said. It is important to note that we have increased over the last election." NDP INCREASE In the 1963 election Dr. Dy- mond gathered 9,864 votes com- pared to 4,297 for the Liberals and 2,218 for the NDP. He re- ceived 61 per cent of the votes, 28 per cent went to the Lib- erals and 11 per cent to the NDP in the larger 123 poll rid- ing. Last night the NDP in- creased its share of the votes to 19 per cent with the Con- servatives and Liberals drop- ping to 56 and 25 respectively. Despite their increase, the NDP did not win any polls, coming close only in Mr. McPhails home district of Can- |nington where he placed second 25 votes behind Dr. Dymond. Shortly after 10 p.m. with about 70 polls counted Mr. Mc- Phail appeared at Dr. Dymonds The victory party Newman forces started early at the Carousel Inn at Ajax and lasted until the refresh- ments vanished in the 'early morning hours today.

Returning officer Wesley for the F Mr. Newman congratulated Mr. Ward on his fine cam- paign and said "I think you did a great job and I have a great deal of respect for you and the clean campaign you conducted."

'This proves we can win with any number of candi- dates at the next election," said Mr, Edwards, who appear- ed in a cheerful mood among his 100 supporters. Mr. Edwards later went to the Carousel Inn to congratu- late the victor in person and told Mr. Newman, "You obvi- ously worked harder than I did to win this campaign but be- have yourself at Queen's Park because we'll be watching you all the way."' Mr. Newman said he hoped all the people in the riding would keep their eyes on him at Queen's Park because he intended to do the best job pos- ible. He called Mr. Edwards to the victory stage and intro- duced the NDP runner-up to the party faithful. Mr. Edwards received a large ovation and said Mr. Newman could count on. his support as long as he performed his duties well.

About 10:10 p.m. Mr. Ander- son phoned Dr. Dymond and} | CONSERVATIVE VICTORY There's just no shifting Con- servative Alex Carruthers from his Durham riding seat. Last night he not only re- tained it but managed to boost his majority a hefty 1,100 votes to over 2,500. And the percent- age vote, at 75, was also up despite the rain. Final results gave Mr. Car- ruthers 7,657 votes; Liberal Richard Lovekin, 5,079 votes and NDP candidate Douglas Moffatt 4,163 votes. Mr. Carruthers, undefeated since starting his political ca- reer in 1959, told The Times today: "We're very gratified. I'm amazed at the way people have put their confidence in me. I didn't think we would win by that kind of majority, it was only 1,400 last time but elec- tions are always dubious affairs. "I think we all worked very hard and I would like to thank all those who worked for me. I think they Were a very won- derful group of workers, a group like that has a decided impact on the result." Mr. Carruthers was dis- appointed at the Oshawa defeat of Albert Walker whom he call- ed "one of the finest members of the legislature' and dedi- cated to his work. Mr. Carruthers goes straight back to work tomorrow with a speaking engagement in To- ronto and then he will get back to his riding work which has been piling up during the elec- tion. Just. as pleased, despite his bottom-of-the-poll spot, was NDP candidate Douglas Mof- fat, 30-year-old principal of Orono public school. Carruthers Wins Durham By More Than 2,900 Votes SUCCESS Dr. Dymond attributed his he has repr tario riding for 12 years, to "'a "I start fighting the next elec- tion the day after I win one." Mr. Dymond made one 'post election promise. That was to, "represent and help all people Said Mr. Moffat: "To be quite honest we did about what we expected to do. Our fore- cast was 4,000 - 5,000 votes -- hat's almost four to five times the previous ballot for the NDP. Both the other parties lost slightly." Would he stand again after his first-time failure?" Oh yes, we really have the basis of a very good organization here. There are a few holes which we can plug by next time and we should do an awful lot better. "I was very pleased with the turnout and the people who worked for me did a tremend- ous job. I would hope the new member realizes that more people voted against him than for him, which shows that everything's not rosy in the province." The third candidate, Liberal Richard Lovekin, a 43-year-old criminal lawyer from New- castle, also fighting his first election, had nothing but praise for Mr. Carruthers, who "'got in on the big native vote--Port| Hope people support the man| they know." But he didn't have anything very complimentary to say about the block support for the NDP in the Darlington area among the many United Auto Workers men. "Here is a party which claims to be dynamic, young and forward-looking, out for re- forms, but this result proves that it is more hide-bound than either of the older, traditional parties.

Peer AMALGAMATION BEST Tory Campaign OSHAWA LABOR STRONGHOLD Manager Proposes Parties Merge The manager of the Progres- sive Conservative network in Oshawa, which was unsuccess- ful in yesterday's Ontario elec- tion, says he is going to ad- vance a personal idea to form a merger between the PC and Liberal parties to make a win- ning Oshawa riding combination in the next provincial election. Robert Nicol said in an inter- view last night from campaign headquarters he would take a strong hand in "trying to am- algamate" the two parties in the next provincial vote in Osh- awa. "Tt would be in the best in- terests of the Liberals and Con- servatives to merge together," Mr. Nicol said, shortly after candidate for re-election, Al- Walker, was defeated by riding winner Clifford Pilkey, New Democratic Party man. Mr. Pilkey polled 13,141 votes in the vote, but Mr. Nicol said if you put the PC vote (11,104) and the Liberal total (5,835) to- gether a aes beat Mr. Pilkey."* Mr. Walker won the riding by a narrow margin in the 1963 election, taking it from T. D. "Tommy" Thomas, who, as a CCF member, controlled the seat for more than 15 years, starting in 1948. "This has always been a la- bor stronghold in Canada. The Liberals and Progressive Con- servatives must realize this because it is basic. It's a free enterprise system against a so- -- philosophy,"" Mr, Nicol said. "These are my own personal thoughts. "T've given this campaign all the energy and organizational ability that I had, and I wouldn't say that we were out-organized, out-signed or out-canvassed. But we were outvoted." "As the city gets bigger," Mr. Nicol said, "the Liberal and Progressive Conservative elements can work on a mer- ger that could tell a different tale." "This is my own personal opinion, and it would have to be discussed by both party executives,"' Mr, Nicol said. Mr. Walker was not available for comment, nor was Mr. Pot- ticary. SEPARATE IDENTITIES However, Mr, Pilkey said in an early morning interview he could not foresee a merger of the parties because they will likely insist on maintaining sep- arate political identities. He added: "Sometimes this schem- ing doesn't pay off, and I hope there are a few people who realize that." Mr. Nicol accounted for the Conservative loss yesterday in two main ways. "The Liberals cut into our votes' and the NDP 'were very well organiz- ed." He said William Cumpsty, fed- eral NDP organizer loaned to Oshawa for the duration of the Ontario campajgm did a "re- markable job at organizing the area." "Even though Pilkey and I have had many political clash- es, I still have a great respect for him. He has certainly come up the hard way," Mr. Nicol said. NOT DISCOURAGED In an earlier interview, Mr. Potticary said in his campaign committee room at the corner of Ontario and Bond Streets, that his loss would not discour- age him from seeking the Lib- eral nomination next time around. "T've gone to school on this one. "Now I know how to do it.'* The Liberal count picked up by only 173 votes over the 1963 election -- but Mr. Potticary, a newcomer to any kind of pol- itics - says: "T would say I'm quite satis- fied with the number of votes I've got. I would say we are back on the upswing." He said the Liberal party needs someone to pioneer party reorganization, GROUNDWORK LAID "I think I've laid the ground- work for the next election. I don't feel too bad at all. Due to the fact it was my first election, I had a lot to learn, I was just hoping for a, swing, that's all. This is the only thing I could have counted on. For the moment, he says It would be hard to predict if he might consider trying his hand at municipal politics in the fu- ture "We got the grass roots and now we can build a winner, but it cannot be done overnight."
