Original Toronto Star caption: A roar of greeting from cheering; clapping supporters of front-running leadership candidate Pierre Elliott Trudeau erupted at the Liberal convention last night as he strode across the arena to address delegates. A sea of his black; orange and white placards surged around Ottawa's Civic Centre in impressive strength and the crowd of 8;000 listened raptly to his relaxed; almost conversational style of speaking.
