...week's end, at Stokes's behest, the Cleveland Board of Elections agreed to delay certification of Locher's re-election pending an examination of precinct tally sheets and poll books. After that, Stokes has the right to demand a recount. Miffed, Locher said he would go ahead with the swearing-in ceremony this week in spite of the board's ruling...

Outside of that, Diefenbaker's campaign pitch has been a promise to give almost everybody more and do it better. The latest Gallup poll gives the Liberals 47% of the vote, Diefenbaker's Conservatives 30%, with the rest split among other parties or "undecided"-which indicates that Pearson will probably pick up at least enough seats for a majority. But there is such general apathy toward the election that few experts are willing to predict...
