  Montreal Gazette, June 1, 1974 . While researching my TVO piece on the 1974 Canadian federal election , I found this series of ads from Elections Canada urging urban dwellers to get on the voters' list, even if that meant a quick run in the buff to the nearest returning officer.   Montreal Gazette, June 8, 1974. The series was illustrated by editorial cartoonist Yardley Jones, whose stops included the Edmonton Journal , Montreal Star , and Toronto Telegram .  It appeared in many major papers across the country.   Montreal Gazette, June 15, 1974.   Montreal Gazette, July 6, 1974.
