Original Toronto Star caption: Liberal leader Robert Nixon told radio and TV audience last night he was naturally disappointed that his party had failed to make larger gains across the province in yesterday's election. He won a decisive personal victory in his own riding of Brant. The 39-year-old former school teacher was picked as Liberal party leader last January, and has been campaigning through Ontario ever since. He and his wife plan a short vacation after winding up business matters.
