When asked what kind of a leader the Conser- vatives should select this fall, Mr. Stevenson said one who is 'dynamic and innovative," and one who is a good television performer. 'Like it or not, the TV image is crucial for a political leader these days. That image can be a dominant factor in the results of an election," he stated. If, as expected, the leadership convention is held late in November or early December, delegates from the York Durham riding likely will be selected in late September or early October. Party organizers do not want any of the leadership race or con- vention to clash with the timing of the municipal elections which take place across Ontario on November 12.
