votes.Checking the polls after the shouting and the tumult had died \u2014 it was evident that the city of Westmount and the St.Andrew's section of the riding had turned the trick.Voting for PC

meetings, was about even, Webster won the majority of the polls, but Liberal candidate took a fair number, and in some spots ran up quite high totals, while in others the figure for the former
