VICTORIA. B. c.. oct. 1.-THE pro-
Rincial campaign which, though short,
has been one of the most interesting
in the political history Of British
Columbia, closed today and the peo-

morrow. A careful canvass of the
situation leads to the conclusion that
the present beral-conservative gov
eminent will probably be sustained by
a small majority over it's liberal op-
ponents. The socialists and the la
Dor party may return five or six
members to parliament between them,
leaving small working majority for
