At 10.30 a.m. Wednesday morning the standing was as follows:- 98 polls heard from 6 still te go with 907 possible voters. (These are Indian polls in the far north. ) Rudiak (Liberal) 3669 - Seppala (Prog .Conservative) 2781 - Stokes (NDP) 3876. One television commentator voiced the opinian on Tuesday night that it had been an uninspired cam- | paign with little use (except a few paid appearances) ; made of that media. In our riding (Thunder Bay), with its nearly 16,000 voters and many communities without television, we would say it was a campaign of great interest. This is evident in.the very high percentage of voters--over 70%. In this district Schreiber and Terrace Bay both had an over 70% turnout and Nipigon (a town which has shown marked | : apathy in Municipal elections) had an over 80% vote. District readers will be surfeited with campaigns and results by this time but for the benefit of the ; many one-time residents who read the News and are t still interested in this area we have elaborated. In all fairness we must acknowledge one thing-- the bulk of Progressive Conservative campaign funds | spent during this election were spent in the district | in which candidates were running. This was not true ¢ of the other parties--particularly disillusioning ina | party which claims to be "for the working man." Do the "working men" in a candidate's own riding not deserve a chance to provide the services needed during an election? Months ago when detailing the provincial redistri- © bution we commented that, regardless of party, we | hoped Thunder Bay District would produce. one out- standing leader. It remains to be seen if the voters have chosen that leader . It is to be hoped that the percentage of voters whe turn out for municipal elections throughout the dis- trict is as high as that in Tuesday's election. For the past few years a distinct apathy has been evideni ; on the part of the voters in many municipalities in Thunder Bay. : t t : Tae seeyserer youn BERET Mr .and Mrs. J.Bogrand of Minneapolis were in Terrace Bay for a short visit this week.
