argued that the Liberals were too radical, and that the Saskatchewan government was not doing enough to develop the province's natural resources.

The Liberals were able to capitalize on the collapse of the Social Credit party, and were more effective than the Tories in drawing the "anti-socialist" (ie. anti-CCF) vote. The campaign however was not marked by any major issues.

There was, however, considerable animosity between the Liberals and the CCF. The Liberals employed what were called "Madison Avenue campaign tactics", and spent a lot of money on campaign advertising – especially television advertising. The Liberals tried to characterize the election as being a choice between socialism and private enterprise-oriented reform. The Saskatchewan Liberals positioned themselves as further to the right than the federal Liberal Party

Lloyd was faced several challenges: taxes in Saskatchewan were among the highest in Canada; spending on health care, welfare and education were high; and Lloyd lacked the popular support that previous CCF leader and premier Tommy Douglas
