A6 - Sunday, July 1, 1984 - No Shore News Game machine ary Collins’ comfortable first-ballot victory at Wednesday’s Tory nominating meeting in Capilano riding tells a lot about the modern game of politics. Yet to be elected to any public office, she won the nod as successor to retiring MP Ron Huntington for three reasons which -- in themselves -- had little if anything to do with her capabilities as a future representative of Capilano constituents. She is a bright, articulate and persuasive woman. She enjoyed Mr. Huntington’s per- sonal endorsement. Above all, however, she ran such a superbly professional campaign that the Turners, the Chretiens and even the Mondales might well have gathered tips from it. During a three-month build-up, starting from scratch with an unknown name, her highly efficient machine dominated the publicity scene with all the most effective techniques known to the trade — largely swamping the images of her two worthy rivals. By the end her name and her face were almost as well known to Capilano voters as Mr. Huntington’s and at Wednesday’s meeting the phalanxes of banner-waving Collins supporters were reminiscent of the scene two weeks earlier in the Ottawa Civic Arena. It must have cost a mint but it work- ed beautifully. Let it now be added that Mrs. Collins also has solid personal qualifications and there’s no reason at this stage to doubt that she may make a very satisfactory MP. But it’s razz- matazz, not motherhood platform plati- tudes, that gives you your chance nowadays. That’s the way we’ ve organized the game. Bottled fallacy anadian culture suffers another blow with the phasing out by the Big Three brewers of our unique stubby beer bot- tle. They figure the costly change to the long- necked bottles may halt the trend of beer drinkers to switch to wine, but they’re merely rebottling a fallacy. If some enterprising in- dependent brewmaster would only buy up all the old stubbies and fill them with DECENT beer, the Big Three could end fast as the Tiny Three!
