Vol. 1. The Political Corner Thursday, July 3, 1930 No. 19. Canadian Bankers' Election Forecast "The Financial Post" of Toronto, the leading financial paper of Canada Independent In politics In its issue of June 26th publishes the first bank forecast of the results of the coming election. Thc forecasts by constituencies were made for the Post by the managers of approximately 4,000 branch banks ln every part of Canada. It was felt that this was the most Independent forecast which could be obtained. Bankers were asked to give their opinions without regard to how they might themselves be voting. The result of this gives the Liberals 110 seats ln the New House as against 02 to the Conservatives. The Ottawa correspondent of "The Financial Post" has also discussed the probable outcome with many high officials of both Conservative and Liberal organization at Ottawa and the most the Conservatives hopo to have Is 122 seats which would not be sufficient to control the House, whereas the Liberals claim they will have 134 seats making a gain of 11. All ot which merely goes to show that public sentiment in Canada favors the return to power of the M-ckenzle King Government. In the last Dominion. Election Mr;3!elghen was Premier and had control of the Government f6rceS a'nd'it was1 felt by many ln Skeena Riding that he would be maintained ln that office, and this feeling undoubtedly had much to do with Mr. Brady's election. The chances are now five to three against the Liberals being defeated and Skeena would be foolish Indeed to make a wrong guess once more by returning a Conservative to sit ln opposition to the Government at Ottawa. If the best the Tories can hope to win in this election, as outlined by their own party organizations, Is a stalemate, let us help to make the decision clear and Liberal beyond peradventure so that we will not be driven Into another general,eJectfon within, the rear.
