Prime Minister King was not at all sure at week's end of his own personal election. In the constituency of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, he was still leading CCFer Edward LeRoy Bowerman. But his margin had been sliced to 200-odd votes, and the soldier vote had not yet been announced...
...paper, they seemed reasonable-but far too technical for the public to understand. The first, by Ohio's arch-conservative Robert Alphonso Taft, would guarantee to manufacturers and processors the same dollar margin over costs (i.e., profit) they received in 1941.

...Minister had achieved in 1940, when his Liberal Party won 178 of the 245 House of Commons seats. The electorate, while approving King for a sixth term, took the opportunity to admonish him at the same time. He won a clear, overall majority, but it was by a thin margin.

Cochran first erased Hoppe's slim, eight-point lead, then built up a 48-point margin to keep his world's championship with a grand total of 4,819 points for the go 60-point blocks. To both it seemed like a hard way to earn $6,000 and $4,000, their 60-40 split of the total gate receipts (after expenses...
