Original Toronto Star caption: Whipping up the troops. A Larry Grossman campaign worker bellows through a bullhorn to a sea of delegates in the frenzy of the Tory convention last night. At times; rival campaigners elbow-jostled in the scramble for votes. The intense convention-floor activity paid off for Grossman's team as their candidate squeaked past Dennis Timbrell by 19 votes - the smallest margin in a Tory party leadership race this century.
