Tariff Is Issue In Canadian Elections
Liberals Win Big Victory
With Help Of Women.

Ottawa-Liberal candidates, on the
crest of landslide, swept the govern

Meighen from power in the Canadian
general election.
The Liberals, headed by w. L. Mac

party stands for protection.

Premier Meighen was defeated even
in his home constituency, Portage La
Prairie, Man His opponent was Har
ry Leader, Progressive. Seven mem
bers of the cabinet were defeated.
With the polls thrown open to them
for the first time on the same basis as
men, women turned out in every pro
vince to help elect Canada's four
teenth parliament.
At the last election, ballots were
distributed to women serving with wal
forces and certain soldier kin. This
year, however, women NEEDED only the
electoral qualifications of the other
sex. - 1851. -

The battle was won and lost in On

tario seats held by the government
when parliament dissolved, the Neigh
en- party retained only 80. - -

at hand to show that Mr. King, Liberal
chieftain, would have the largest
group in the next parliament, >and
probably clear majority over all par
