On the outcome hangs the political future of Mr.

Kierans, 54, whose campaign for the national Liberal leadership, while unsuccessful, won him much respect throughout Canada. His supporters still see the mar economist and former Quebec government minis ter as a potential national leader, and certainly cabinet material if the Liberals are returned to power. Ho we ve Prime Minister Trudeau has made no commitment to his leadership rival. Duvernay is equally significant in the fortunes of the New Democratic Party as the riding selected as home base by Mr. Cliche, fighting his second general election as Quebec leader.

IMPRESSIVE VOTE Though collecting an impressive popular vote in Quebec in the 1965 election, NDP candidates, including Mr. Cliche, went down to defeat and the party now is battling to send its first members from this province to the House of Commons. Everything is new about the campaign in suburban Duvernay, which is on Ile Jesus, bounded by Riviere des Prairies and Riviere des Mille Iles, north of Montreal island, a population of 100.000. Formerly part of the traditionally Liberal Laval riding, Du ver nay is 95-per-cent French-speaking and is sometimes described as the most well -to -do French-Canadian area in Greater Montreal The happy-warrior style of Eric Kierans and the humor and fire of Robert Cliche are likely to be seen by every man, woman and boy in the constituency-except those within the walls of St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary--before election day, June 25.

There were reports of a tacit understanding between the Tories and the NDP in an effort to ensure a Liberal defeat. The PCs would try not to hurt the NDP campaign. Liberal Jean Rochon won Laval with more than twice the votes of his nearest competitor, the NDP.

in 1965 before Duvernay was separated by redistri- bution. VOTE WAS LIBERAL Statsticians say the vote in the Duvernay area, which includes part of Laval des Rapides and such districts as Auteuil, was 44.5 per cent Liberal, 27.5 per cent NDP, 16 per cent Progressive Conservative and 12 per cent Creditiste. Mr. Cliche, 48-year-old lawyer who placed second to the Liberal winner in Beauce last time, started early in Duvernay and has been campaigning for more than a year, lately concentrat- ELECT JOHN LONEY Parliament of Canada Progressive Conservative Association Pierre Sevigny to run as an independent on door-to-door canvassing and kitchen parties.
