By GARY KINGSTON VICTORIA (CP) — A decisive victory Thursday in the British Columbia election might finally allow William Richard Bennett to escape from the persistent shadow that has dogged his 7% years in government. The shadow is that of his father, W.A.C. Bennett, the political Methuselah who had a vice-like grip on the province's top post for 20 years before bequeathing the Social Credit mantle to his son. Despite creating some profile .of his own, in’ part through his work in the constitutional debate, his caustic wit and his own firm hand over caucus colleagues, despite being a self-made millionaire by age 30 and a premier without a university education, Bill Bennett still hasn't shaken the “mini-Wac” handle. During the election campaign, old-line Socreds, those with long memories, were not averse to comparing Bill's wooden style with the populist appeal of his gregarious father, who was defeated by the New Democratic Party in 1972 at the age of 72. A week ago, a heckler’s searing insults — “your father never liked you" and “you weren't your father's favorite son” — obviously rattled the younger Bennett. His inability to forge his own identity has also been hampered by his economic vision, which so closely parallels that of his father — a reliance on the big and the e the devel of northeast B.C, coalfields and B.C. Place urban renewal for Vancouver. -EARNS MANDATE « Now, as if recognizing that the only way to strike back at his detractors is to go farther than his father, the thrice-elected premier appears to be gearing himself for a run at his father’s longevity record after earning the “enduring mandate” he sought when he called the election. In 1978, shortly after. winning a byelection, in his , father's Okanagan South riding, the then stumbling, self-conscious political neophyte vowed he would retire at about age 52 — the age his dad was when he became premier. Long ago discarded as a silly remark made in the flush of his first victory, the SL-year-old exercise fanatic now talks obli of I “My personal goals and what I'd like to do with my personal life do not come ahead of the province,” he said inan interview late last year, adding that his capacity for work in keeping the dreaded NDP socialists out of office has not diminished. “I feel better physically, mentally and spiritually now than I did since I got elected both in opposition and as government. I even‘look. better. I'm,more. relaxed, more comfortable in my job. Inarare display of emotion, Bennett w was ns brought to tears as he spoke at an election campaign gathering in the Okanagan — “my valley” —. about his commitment to public life. It was a responsibility that was thrust on him early in life, he said, and “something I owe to the people of this province.” CONFIDENT continued from front page middle-aged and conservatively dressed — watched the CBC-TV coverage of the election with a drink in hand. Some were very optimistic, others were not so optimistic. One supporter, Don Smith of Genelle, was so optimistic he had bets that the Socreds would win a seat in the Rossland-Trail riding. Smith said he felt the local party had “the best team.” Another supporter, Don Hutchinson of Trail simply said, “It's anybody's risk.” The news of Nelson-Creston Socred candidate Howard Dirks taking an early lead over NDP incumbent. Lorne Nicolson, sparked a round of cheers and applause. Finally, the local results began coming in — D'Arcy took the majority of votes in the Columbia Garden polling station 102-78. Sergio Cocchia of the Liberal Party had two votes while independent labor candidate Jim Peitzsche scored one. When results of the large Trail polling station began to drift in, Siemens appeared to be leading by a 228-225 count over D'Arcy. But as the next call came in D'Arcy was ahead 452-438. The sound of the teleph became an sound, as with each call the margin between the two competitors widened until D'Arcy had collected a total of 8,426 votes and Siemens 2,838 from Trail. Cocchia had 181 and Peitzche 69. Siemens, sporting a three-piece suit, shook his head in disappointment whenever he glanced at the blackboard. Most of his time at the office was spent shaking hands, mingling and talking with campaign supporters. Siemens, looking somewhat despondent, received much encouragement from his supporters. “Don't worry,” one supporter told him. “It doesn’t look good,” was his only reply. “Do you need Rolaids?” another supporter asked good-naturedly. As results came in showing D'Arcy taking a lead at every polling station, the announcement came over the PA system that CBC had projected a Socred majority province-wide. “Bennett's in, now we just have to get Walt in,” the speaker commented: But when results of Castlegar’s polling station came in, the party became doubtful that Siemens would succeed. At the same time the news flashed over the TV that Nicolson had taken a 320-vote lead in his riding, some- what dampening the spirits of the local Socreds. Sid Crockett of Trail, who wrote down results said the results were not as good as he would have liked to have seen for Siemens, whom he referred to as “a union man.” “I thought we would win a lot more people than we did.” The Socreds didn't let the results damped their spirit too much as they celebrated the provincial victory with a dance afterwards. SOCRED DISAPPOINTMENT . . . Social Credit can- didate Walt Siemens and his wife Hildegard com- fort one another as polls showed NDP's Chris D’Ar- cy in the lead. —CosNewsPhoto AT THE POLLS... Rossland-Trail riding saw a heavy voter turn-out election day as 80 per cent of legible voters h d for polling i like The name of the game was restraint By MADELAINE DROHAN VICTORIA, (CP) — Bill Bennett sold his Social Credit government's as the ible path to economic recovery and British Columbia voters bought it Thursday. Leaving his ministers to hand out most of the goodies during the 28-day campaign that returned Social Credit to power by 36 seats to 22 for the New Democratic Party, Bennett concentrated on showing how his restraint package is working. His campaign speeches revolved around a central theme — recession, restraint and recovery. The recession he could do nothing about, he said. It was caused by a slump in international demand for the province's forest and mineral resources. He had already started restraint in February with limits on public sector wages and curtailing government spending. The recovery would only come, he said, if B.C. gave him a strong mandate to continue restraint and create the right climate for business. NEEDED RESTRAINT In his victory speech Thursday in Kelowna, Bennett said people voted for his restraint package, not because they wanted it, but because they needed it. By increasing his majority in the legislature to 13 seats from five, they ensured he will be more sure-footed along the recovery trail. But giving the premier a chance to carry on might not have been the only reason voters supported the Socreds.

In politics, the third strike usually means a trip to the showers. And Dave Barrett likely will be leaving the game shortly, calling it quits after 23 years in the B.C. legisla- ture and three failed tries at returning to power. It's possible he will be teaching political science at one of the province's three public universities, but, in speaking to his disappointed supporters after the NDP's sharp defeat Thursday, he said he would make no immediate announcement about the future. “I'm going home to bed,” he said, with strain in his voice. “Tonight is for the victors.” Barrett, 52, who has the dubious distinction of being the longest-serving Opposition leader in the country, is expected to step down as the leader of the New Democratic Party after losing to Premier Bill Socreds 34 to 23 in Thursday's provincial election. LOST OWN SEAT Barrett stayed on in 1976 after the defeat of his NDP government and the loss of his own seat, because there was no obvious successor. He was urged to remain as captain after the 1979 provincial campaign because the loss to Bennett was seen by the rank and file and the caucus as a ‘victory in defeat.’ The party increased its share of the popular vote to 46 per cent from 89 per cent in 1972. Now, however, the party could be looking for a new face to lead the fight against Social Credit and to repeat the heady triumph of 1972-75, when the 20-year-old government of Bennett's father, W.A.C. Bennett, came tumbling down. Efforts by the NDP leader during his last campaign to bring his party to the centre of the political spectrum obviously were not enough. His calls for reason and co- fon instead of fell on deaf ears. VICTORY FOR D'ARCY continued from front page Siemens was hot on D'Arcy’s heels and NDP campaign manager Ron Schmidt quickly changed his prediction on the outcome. Just prior to the polls closing, Schmidt had confidently predicted D'Arcy would win the seat with 676 per cent of the popular vote. But Schmidt backtracked on that after the initial Trail returns, acknowledging his prediction may have been. a little high. The mood among the crowd by 8:40 p.m. turned sombre as they just sat or stood and stared at the television, muttering the odd expletive when Social Credit begins to solidify its grasp on the majority of the 57 seats. By 8:55 p.m. D'Arcy is comfortably out in front of Siemens. With 18 of 72 polls in, he has nearly 2,100 votes to Siemens 1,500. And as one observer notes, that’s without Castlegar — traditionally an NDP stronghold. Now the television has projected D'Arcy the winner, but the news brings few cheers from the crowd, who still stare disbelievingly at the TV. They have just heard that the Socreds are leading or elected in 85 seats and the NDP in 20. The writing is on the wall. One supporter mumbles, “Lord help us.” D'Arcy himself is wandering around the campaign office, watching the TV and occasionally taking a break outside in the balmy spring evening air. He greets the odd newcomer, but on the whole he doesn’t say much to his cainpaign workers — and they don’t have much to say to him. Finally, at 9:05 p.m. CBC declares what everyone in the room has known for the last 40 minutes — a Social Credit victory. “Ol + Not again,” yells one campaign worker. By 9:30 p.m. the office is almost empty as workers realize D'Arcy has won and the NDP has lost. They straggle out of the office and down the street to the Steelworkers Hall for what is supposed to be a victory party, but no one seems to feel like celebrating. D'Arcy makes his entrance at the Steclworker Hall about 9:50 p.m. and is greeted with sporadic cheers and clapping by the 150 supporters. One party worker strolls up to buy a drink and cele- brate. He comments, “Well, as least we still have D'Arcy.” Some may have been unable to conquer their fear of the “socialist hordes” and found themselves unable to vote for the NDP despite dissatisfaction with Social Credit in this province where 200,000 are unemployed. In their advertising and public appearances, the Socreds intimated that although NDP Leader Dave Bar- rett had tidied his dress and tempered his fiery oratory, underneath he was still the same old socialist in red shorts, There was no viable alternative to the Socreds as the Liberals and Conservatives were wiped out at the polls again. Many voters might have felt Social Credit would be a better bet than the NDP to deliver on promises of jobs from government projects. HOSPITALS HELPED In a span of 21 days, Health Minister Jim Nielsen announced $121 million in health care spending. Hospitals, which had been erying out for an increase in operational budgets, were suddenly inundated with funds to expand. One hospital director complained that what he needed was more nurses, not more beds, But most administrators quietly took the money, knowing the opportunity may not present itself again. Aside from the health care expenditures, relatively easy to sell to the public even in a time of restraint, the Socred promises didn't carry mammoth price tags. And they were in keeping with the Social Credit philosophy of supporting free enterprise and reducing government involvement in the public sector. Filling the gaps in cabinet VICTORIA (CP) — All Social Credit cabinet i seeking re-election were d Thursday as Social Credit swept to a decisive victory with an increased majority. But that doesn't mean there won't be problems for Premier Bill Bennett after the British Columbia general election. He must fill the large holes left by the pre-election - yesignations of Attorney: Géneral ‘Allan Williams “and*~ Education Minister Bill Vander. Zalm, decide what todo ° with some tired veterans and appease eager newcomers. Universities Minister Pat McGeer, the aloof brain surgeon who was reluctant to run for re-election and is unlikely to complete a full term presents a dilemma. Finance Minister Hugh Curtis, who ran again in Saanich and the Islands only at the urging of Bennett, might also want a less demanding portfolio after 31 years in the Finance pressure-cooker. Brian Smith, the soft-spoken Energy minister from Oak Bay, would appear to be a natural choice for the key attorney general's job, which turned into a hot seat for Williams with the controversy over $90,000 in payments to the family of mass killer Clifford Olson and funding for legal services. DIDN'T SPARKLE Smith, a lawyer and part-time teacher of constitu- tional law, held the education portfolio prior to Energy. The laconic tennis buff didn’t exactly sparkle in either portfolio, but didn’t make any mistakes, either. Jack Heinrich, the Municipal Affairs minister and another lawyer, also might be: considered for attorney general, but after a promising start three years ago in labor, his star has dulled somewhat. . Achange of roles for Smith would open the Energy and Mines ministry for Claude Richmond, who has done a commendable job in the Tourism ministry after first being elected in a byelection two years ago. The presence of several mining operations in his Kamloops riding is a plus. _ Tourism, x iiaice Portfolio, would likely go to ited in Prince George South, or Elwood. Veitch, who regained the Burnaby- Willingdon seat, he lost in 1979 to the NDP’s Jim Lorimer. Education will be a critical appointment as Bennett attempts to repair the fractured feelings between teachers, schoo! trustees and the government. Pre-election possibilities Kim Campbell, Vancouver school board chairman, and Gary Begin, former president of the B.C. Schoo! Trustees Association, both failed in attempts to win seats. CHANGES PLANNED There is some thought Bennett might move Labor Minister Bob McClelland into the portfolio, opening the way for a new face in the Labor ministry, where the Socreds plan to make it easier to decertify unions and other legislative changes. Newcomers John Parks and Cliff Michael, who knocked off former NDP cabinet ministers in Maillard- ville-Coquit and both have industrial relations experience “in their resumes for that job. Other changes could include a new face in Transportation and Highways. Alex Fraser, who has been in the post since 1975, turns 67 next month and might not be up to the grind of a cabinet job for another term, Another problem for Bennett is what todo with John Reynolds, the former Conservative MP who won handily in West Vancouver-Howe Sound. The enigmatic Reynolds, who took the Socred nomination in the riding only three days after announcing he was going after it, might have to bide his time on the backbenches until Bennett gets a handle on him. Those most likely to stay in their present portfolios, at least in the short term, include Human Resources Minister Grace McCarthy, Forests Minister Tom Water- land, Health Minister Jim Nielsen, Environment Minister Stephen Rogers and Tony Brummet, minister of Lands, Parks and Housing.
