Victoria Report
FEW POLITICAL Ifcaders in
our liistory liave had the astonis-iiins:
suc-ess of Premier AV.
-A. C. liennett. Results of tlic
Juue .0 election ai'e a ti-eniendouf
tribute to liini and his .Social
Crediters. 'JMiere's no other
way of looking at it. There's
i'.o use sayiiit; tliey sneaiced in;
that the whole movenieiit's just
a flash ill the pan. It's none of
tiiose tliiiiRs. Social Crediters
dititi't sneak in, they were elected
l»y more people than ever
elvited a D.C. KDvernment befort;
the iiioveineiit is no lon;;er
a flash iu the pan; it's here,
in ioverinnent, for ei.i;ht or in
yp.-irs.
Only .sour cherry in the beautiful
Social Credit pie is Oak
Bay. whej-e Ministei' of J-'inance
Mr. Ctunderson, lost to Liberal
P. X. Gibbs. Mr. Hennett wants
-Mr. Gundersoii to continue as
ilinister of I'Miiaiice. lie no
doubt will do so. There's no
rule to say that a cabiiKit minister
must also be an RI.I^.A. it
is customary, of course, but a
mail tan carry along in the cabiiift,
but cannot take a seat in

The Pi'eiiiier doulitlcss knows
it would be unpopular with the
puhlie to have a Social Crediter

to resign bis seat so tliat .Mr.
Gundersoii could run. This lia])-
Iiened twice last year, when Mr.
Gundersoii and Attoi-ney-CJeneial
Bonner were first sealed.
lloVirer, a little of this j;oeb
a loiif;' way.
At the .\iitninn session of the
Le.i;islatii I'e, the Pi'eniier c(Jiikl
li;ive two or three extra seals
added to li.C.'s 4 8—and could
have l)y-elections in tbe new
seats before tbe .Spring session.
In this v.ay IK; could easily ^et
-Mr (iunderson into tin; House.
*Oak iiay's Mr. Gibbs lias a
liiKb iilace in H.C. political history,
lie's a Kiaiit-killer. if evei'
tliere was one. lie has now beaten
two .Ministei's of I'Mnaiice-—
.Mr. Aiiiicomb in lltr>2, Mr. Gnndei'son
tin's year, lie lias beaten
two Conseivative chieftains—-
Mr. .Aiiscoinb lasl year, I)ciinne
l''inlayson this year. Thus, diniinntive
Mr. Gibbs, is a man of
vast ])oiitical accomiilisbment.
.So far, lbos(! Icadiii;;- on first
count, all ai'e makin.:;' it, with
the e.xception of four. Mrs. Tilly
Jlolstoii could los(,' to iviberal
leader Arthur Lainj;- in Point

ooet, where the Liberals won;
Kanaimo, Avhere Conservative
Dr. Larry Giovando won,
though be could be toppled on
a recount, and in Oak Bay
where Mr. Gunderson lost.
This column has mentioned
before the extraordinarily methodical
way the imblic has
been eliminatiiiK Libei'.al and
Conservative parties. In the
\U'>2 election four Conservatives
were elected, and six Liberals.
This year, one Conservative
md Ibree Liberals, tlioimh Mr.
Laini; could make it four. Thus
tbe determination would appear
to be first to eliminate tbe Conservatives,
then tb(> Liberals.
'I'liis year the Conservatives
took a 75 per cent cut in House
reiireseiitation. llie Libiu'als a
"ill pi'i' cent cut. And. if Dr. Giovando
should finally ioM' out
in .\anaimo, that's the end of
the Tories in the H.C. House.
