QUEBEC Houde's Hope When the doors of Montreal's Hôtel de Ville were opened one morning last week, rotund Camillien Houde was waiting outside. The former Mayor of Montreal marched briskly to the city clerk's office, filed again as candidate for Mayor. After four years' internment for having advised Canadians not to register for the draft (TIME, Aug. 28), Camillien, free again, was seeking his old $10,000-a-year...
