Original Toronto Star caption: Straw hats present a floppy problem for Conservative leadership candidate Allan Lawrence and his wife at a party he threw last night at the Royal York Hotel for delegates. Lawrence lined up everything from a calypso band to punch in an effort to persuade as many Conservatives as possible that he's the man to replace John Robarts as premier and leader of the party at the convention opening today.
