Show Tut'Mijy. September Canada Tories Could Win Record Majority In Today's Election TORONTO iL'PIi - A Gallup poll Saturday showed the opposi- tion Conservative Party headed for possibly the largest parlia- mentary majority in Canadian history in today's federal election. The Conservatives, led by Montreal businessman Brian Mulro-newere favored by 50 percent of decided voters compared to just 28 percent for the governing Liberals and 19 percent tor the socialist New Democratic Party. Mulroney"s lead approached that of former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who in 1958 needed just 54 percent of the popular vote to score the largest electoral victory ever in Canada's three-part- y system. That plurality was enough to give Diefenbaker, also a Conservative, 208 of 265 parliamentary seats in the Canadian House of Commons, which is modeled on the British parliamentary system. Canada now has 282 electoral districts, or ridings. Prime Minister John Turner, who might even be def eated in his own electoral district in British Columbia, insisted Saturday he was still in the running. "The people of Canada do not want to be told how to vote," he said. "The only poll that counts is the one taken on election day." a bilingual Quebec Mulroney, resident who has done well among traditional Liberal voters in his populous home French-speakin- g September province, cautioned his supporters not to stop working until election 1 "The polls show the wish oi Canadians for beneficial change across the country,' he said. But the election is not today, it s Tuesday night and we'll continue to work very hard to be worthy oi that kind of support. The huge Tory lead did not reflect a nghtward shift in Canadian politics so much as dissatisfaction with the campaign performance of Turner, the photogenic corporate lawyer who took over from the retired Pierre Elliott Trudeau at a Liberal Party . convention in Turner was 11 points ahead in the polls when he called the election July 9. but performed poorly during the campaign, beginning with a controversy over his patting female supporters on the buttocks from which he never recovered. Liberal supporters have dntted not only rightward to the Conservatives but also to the led by Ed Broadbent, providing a strong boost to the leftist party whose fortunes were at a historic low ebb only two months ago. Broadbent, who is also a vice president of the Socialist International which groups together several Western social democratic parties, predicted Saturday his party would produce its best electoral showing ever.
