Liberal and Conservative strength combined suffered a decline of 63,605 votes, while C.C.F., Social Credit and "others"made a net gain of 80,457, and represented more than 42 per cent of all ballots cast. The total increase of 16,581 votes, appar- ently, was not due to an urge to re- compense the old parties for the past services. The liberal poll was lighter than in 1934 by 6,500, but the Conservative vote was reduced by 57,000. As the latter party contested only 23 out of the 50 seats, it is probable that large numbers of Conservatives cast their lot with their traditional opponents to help save the Province from the, Aberhart invasion. In view of the trend shown toward new arrivals it is fortunate that this was the ease, and the Liberal Party' would be well advised not to be too exultant oyes the outcome, Instead of fastening attention on the 199,657 votes received it:th0uld give serious 'thought to the 188,173 which were neither Liberal nor Con- servative.

Congratulations are still due the Saskatchewan people for rejecting Social. Credit and giving the Libertils a chance to prove themselves worthy of continued confidence. But on the whole the trend indicated is disquiet- ing.: The two historic parties ought to take the hint and look themselves over, to see where they fail to meas- ure up to popular requirements . —Globe and Mail.
