He has been conservative leader three years. He is so year old and wealthy. The time of change is not definite as an outgoing ministry is given oppor- tunity to adjust its affairs.
 Victory for the conservatives, tra- tective tariff, was forecast early by an almost unprecedented upset in Quebec, liberal stronghold. There they gained 20 seats, increasing the four Quebec seats they held in the last parliament to A, and defeated two liberal ministers.
