How

Mr.
Mayhew,
who
campaigned
as
a
"businessman's
candidate,"
after
the
result
became
apparent
to
represent
ln
Parliament
"all
Victorians,
whatever
their
political
views."
Prime
Minister
William
Lyon
Mackenzie
King,
In
a
statement
from
Ottawa,
said
he
saw
ln
Mayhew's
by-elcctlon
victory
"a
most
emphatic
endorsatlon
of
the
policies
of
the
Liberal
administration."
Rt.
Hon.
R.
B.
Bennett,
Conservative
leader,
who
campaigned
himself
on

of
McKelvie
said
ln
Vancouver
that
the
result
campaigned
personally
ln
the

the

was
seemingly
"a
triumph
for
localism."
