King 5 Majority Cut
lin Canadian House.to
Lowest in 70 Years
BY the Associoted Press

OTTAWA, Oct. 22.-Prime Min
lister w. L. Mackenzie Kings Liberal
government had its majority in the
House of Commons cut today to the
lowest margin any Canadian gov
ernment has had in 20 years. /
After losing two by-elections last
night to the official opposition
party, the Progressive Conservatives,
Mr.. Kings government held only
125 of the 245 seats in Commons.
One of these seats is held by the
speaker, who ordinarily does not
vote.
Standings Of Parties.
The party standings now are: Lib
erals, 1876; Progressive Conservatives,
Ct; the Socialistic Cooperative Com
monwealth Federation, %; Social
Credit, 13; Independent, 4; Bloc
Populaire, 2; Independent Liberal, /;
Independent Progressive Conserva-
tive, l.: Independent G. c. F., l;
Union des Electeurs de Pontiac, /;
Labor Progressive, /; vacant, l.
Since the opposition parties repre-
sent groups both to the right and
the left of the government, Mr..
Kings regime is not Immediately
imperiled. The governments de-
feat in the two by-elections, how
ever, coupled with its defeat in a
third constituency several weeks
ago, is hailed by opposition leaders
as a significant trend.
The Progressive Conservatives
were happiest about the victory of
their candidate yesterday at Portage
La Prairie, Manitoba, where they
won seat made vacant by the
death of Harry Leader, Liberal who
had held it since 1895. The Tories
had campaigned in this wheat-grow-
ing section by attacking the gov
ernment's policy Of negotiating long
term, low price wheat contracts.
The victor was C. C.. Miller, 49,
year-old lawyer. In II Of 78 dis
tricts he received 4,590 votes against
4,O36 for Jaffray Wood, Liberal, and
2,809 for Sidney Coulhard, c. G. F
Tories Hold Seat.
In the second by-election, in the
Parkdale district Of Toronto, the
Tories held a seat made vacant by
resignation of one of their own
members last summer. The winner
Harold Timmins, 40, a lawyer, re-
ceived 1880 votes in ISL Of 1853 dis
tricts against 6,852 for Col. John
Hunter, Liberal, and $3.50 for Ford
Brand, C. C. F.
The seat now vacant was opened
by the death Sunday of p. j. A.
Cardin, veteran member represent
ing a traditionally Liberal constitu-
ency at Sorel, Quebec.
Another seat may be opened early
next year, that of Fred Rose, Labor
Progressive (Communist) member
from a Montreal constituency. Rose
is now appealing six-year prison
sentence imposed in Canada's spy
trials. If the conviction is upheld
Parliament will take formal cog
nizance of the fact after sittings
are resumed in January and the seat
will be declared open.
