He is expected to clash with Jack Guest, the brilliant Canadian scul- ler, who recently captured the Dia- pICWIIDCu “V VUU" vv composed of 138 Conservatives, 85 Lib- “ erals, and 19 others. In this list there t’ are four doubtful seats but these can t make no material change in the general t result. Hon. R. B. Bennett, leader of the Conservatives, and Canada’s next premier, will in any event have a clear majority over all other parties in the House. This in brief is the result of the balloting on Monday, and with so ‘ much space having been devoted in the ‘ daily press, there is little need of re- ' petition in these columns. Miss Macphail Won Out In the local riding of South-East Grey there was little interest taken in results, , as it was felt that Miss Macphail’s 1926 majority of 1,728 was insurmountable. ‘ As a result of this there were many ‘ Conservative voters ' ? out, but at that, so vigorous was the 1 ' campaign of a few of the party workers that it is now estimated the majority will not be above the 300 mark.

R. B. Ben- nett. Different factors and influences en- tered into the defeat of the Govern- ment. Business depression, unemploy- ment, the cry of hard times, the call for _--_.L IIICIIV, WILD VOJ v- C-w-w ___-__ ,, a changeâ€"all these played their part. but more conspicuous than the rest was the havoc wrought in rural Quebec and Ontario and elsewhere by the ar- gument that the dairy industry is pre- judiced and depressed by importations r of New Zealand butter. Seemingly, if t the greatest vital factor in the defeat l 'of the Government is sought, it lies in 1 this bitter question. Only in recent 1 months did they give heed to an agita- i tion long exploited in Parliament. They 1 ‘evidently minimized the force of this ‘ .movement, at least till it was too late 1 to repair the damage or neutralize the - impression. The Government appears ‘ to have slipped and fallen on this ava- lanche of New Zealand butter more than on anything else. Conservatives come home with the cows. In the cities unemployment cut a figure, but, except for Montreal, Regina, part of Winni- peg and East Edmonton, these places were Conservative anyway. ‘ , able to get away with it, and while the King ministry, playing most of the time c in good luck, stressed the budget and n intra-empire trade, the alternative is- sues raised by the Opposition cut a WIGCIV bwubvaa VA on...â€"'_.. - _ Perhaps of Monday’s doings nothing is quite so striking as the wedge driven into the Quebec bloc.
