Vote Catchers
The candidate who polled the greatest .number of civilian votes (23,800) was able, amiable Howard Charles Green, Vancouver Progressive Conservative. Second-biggest vote catcher (21,123) was a political newcomer, Roland Beaudry, 39, Montreal Liberal.
Beaudry co-owns La Revue Moderne, largest French-language magazine in North America, and three French radio stations. As a campaigner, he wrote 3,000 personal letters to constituents and, claims he, "kissed every goddamned baby in the constituency--every baby over 21."
In Vancouver, the new Democratic Party's William R. Smith got exactly 404 votes after a campaign in which he urged Canadian-U.S. union.
