Cocks Concedes Loss in Medicine Hat Vote After Gas Issue Missed
Progressive Conservative candidate Jack Cocks blamed a failure to capture the opposition gas protest vote for a weak federal tally of 991, down from 1780 in 1959. He noted the gas problem would be debated with Edmonton if elected, while supporters observed a broader PC decline in popularity. Mrs. Cocks said Jack would continue public service, possibly as a chamber of commerce director.
