Packed W'ith Caif 1k Troups Even as you approached the Arena in Ajax Monday night one could sens e the victory in the offing by the music and the laughter cmn- manating out 10 the parking lot. Once inside the auditor- ium-like room ope could'on- ly -be amazed at the number of people jammed mbt too small a space. Beer was lw ing freely at a pay-bar and a youthful -band was whipp- ing the audience into a celc- bration mood. -Around, the outer fringes of the room small -portable TV sets* had been placed for those who were interest- cd in the actual statisties of the election. Nowhere to be seen was Norm Cafik. Finally, at about 10:30 p.m. a man on the stage grabbed the microphone and said, "ladies and gentlemen, the man you ve ail been wait- ing for has finally arrived!" The man to whom h-e was referring hardly needed an introduction but almost did need protection from the surging crowd which at times elmost enveloped him from view and the flash of news camneras. After numerous attempts Cafik finally made it onto the stage and, after looking around the audience he glan- ced at the giant tally board behind him and said, "I have the, vague -impression that we'ive won the election." mius conjecture ai this point (l 1 p.mn.) was quite correct beýause thé Liberals seemed to be winning more and -more seats with every new report on returns. Cafik explained his nervousness, "l've been nervous about this election because of the 4 vote margin last election and 1 had hoped to double that margin this ycar." The crowd needed no explanatioru. that Cafik had more than doubled thé margin of votes between' himself and his nearest *rival. In summing up his victory which he feit was assured, Cafik searched for the right thing to say and finally ad- mitted, "I just don't know, wha t the hell to, say! " SAfter -a moment's pause for composure Cafik started off what almost sounded like a speech after 'receiving an Emmy as he thanked the countless unsung heroes who made his élection possible. and then, in turn, thanked the people out in 'the field', many of whorn he had flot even met, and those dloser to him including his camnpaign manager. As the evening wore on and more reports came in Cafik glanced at the board revealing even more seats won by the Liberals aund he said t0 his audience, ^"you're going to have the' kind of government that we've al hoped to have." The crowd cheered as thcy instinctively 10 CENTS WEDNESDAY, JULY 1 Oth,- 1974 Knew he mneant an overwhel- rningly Liberal governncnt.
