I don't think I can say anything more than that." Dr. Vipond said there was no organized effort to attract citi- zens to the rally.

The above figures show, in terms of POPULAR VOTE, political standings of the various parties, based on inter- viewing carried out on Wednesday, Nov. 3. Interviewers for the Institute, trained to make their own count, wired results on Wednesday night for processing and analysis, It should be remembered that all data released by the In- stitute is based on popular vote -- and it is therefore unsound to translate these percentages into actual seats. Pre-election studies have revealed a lower interest in 1963, indicating a smaller turn-out. This in turn.could affect the final vote. Turn-out still presentes one of the chal- lenges to this type of sampling, as no way has yet been devised to ascertain, almost a week ahead of voting day, whether or not a person will actually go to the polis, The Institute's sample is necessarily based on ALL elig- ible voters; if from a third to a quarter do not vote on election day, problems are increased. In obtaining its information, the Institute uses modern sampling techniques in which a scientific sample of all eligible voters is asked: "IF A FEDERAL ELECTION WERE BEING HELD TODAY, WHICH PARTY'S CANDIDATE DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD FAVOR?"

"The facts are that Mr. Dief- enbaker has no chance of form-| ing any kind of government," Mr. Douglas said. "The battle in this campaign is between the NDP, which has a program, and the Liberals, who have only their record." ACCUSES LIBERALS Mr. Diefenbaker said at a Re- gina rally that the Liberals are trying to encourage votes for third-parties in an attempt to defeat Conservative candidates. "I am asking you to voie for yourselves," he said in an ap- peal to the crowd to "stand with us again."
