It says: "Should the U.F\A: succeed in in- ducing Dr. Tofy to lead thé party a5 would do much to destroy party- ism, or rather to divorce it from pro- vincial affairs. "Dr. Tory would introduce a dif- ferent kind of leadership. The two U.F.A. premiers have been timid, in- active and quite lacking in resource. Mr. Brownlee, particularly, has been unbusinessitke apd declines to grap- ple with problems until he can no longer avoid them. Dr. Tory is dif- ferent.
