note: A 1 .♦vft^fc* 10c SEPTEMBER, 1956 TATESMAN FRONT PAGE NOTES We weren't too far out in our prediction of a B.C. provincial election. Just 27 daysj in fact. We are^oing to make another prediction, namely that Mr. Bennett pulled the biggest political goof of his career in calling this election. The size of the goof will only be known after Sept. 12 but it is our belief, admittedly not shared by many, that Social Credit is going to lose some seats. This prediction is based partly on George Han-an's expose which begins on Page One. If his words gain wide currency Mr. Bennett's government could even fall. Joy to the world! TLS is trying something it hasn't tried before: a contest with prizes in hard cash. The idea came to us when The Ontario Medical Journal editor sent us an editorial critical of labour's attitude regarding the use of injunctions in labour disputes. And they apparently made a good case. But we believe that there is a good answer to it so we are publishing it on Page two. Contest details on the same page. There is less hard labour news in this issue and Premier Bennett is responsible for that. We felt that we must devote as much space as possible to the election. It is an important election, not only for B.C., but all of Canada and particularly Alberta, which if our predictions continue to be accurate will face an election in October. Page Three is entirely devoted to NDP candidates and the issues. It may soon be necessary to enlarge TLS, if for no other reason than the volume of letters we receive. We try to publish all letters but some are too long or un-decipherable. Readers should keep their letters ■short, giving their names and addresses. ;. If a writer doesn't want his name used it will be omitted on request. Letters begin on Page Fxrurandcoi--'- tinue on Page 11. This is as good a time as any to offer all readers the best wishes of the staff and publishers of TLS for Labour Day. —WMM SMASH DOWN ROTTEN SOC (you'll be shocked at what's hidden) GEORGE…
