700, A year later,. in a 1963 general
election, his majority was cut :to
about 25 in a real "squeaker” that
. ended with a judge's reconnt.
•Bucking the provincial tide of very.
• little "gain-, for the Liberals, he
•
coasted into./ office • last week . on
his record of service and popu-
larity in the riding.' • • • •
Mrs. .Andrew.Gaunt of 'West Vtraw-•
anosh.• .West-Wawanoah increased.

jeritY. of 118 last, election as com-
pared .with' a Liberal majority, of
38 this election. . . •
While Gaunt had .a large lead

'municipalities' added to iltiron-
'Bruce after redistrtbution. 'The
town of Kincardine, townships -of

against the `old' line parties in his
home town of Kincardine. He had
363 supporters there. •

32 and Gaunt 13. 'One Blackhorse
