The standing at the time of going to press is 23 liberals 21, with two seats in doubt. More than once evening it believed that the Roblin government had been clearly Defeated and hilarious Delight surged through the enormous crowds which formed a vast sea of faces when viewed from the free press building. However seats placed in the Liberal column had to be transferred to the conservative column on the strength of later re turns. But even so the general feeling was that the Roblin government had received a Shock from which it could not recover and the Advance of the liberals accordingly gave Rise every where to Heartiest congratulations. At this moment it is extremely doubtful whether the government will be left with a working majority. Recounts certain. Several seats claimed by the conservatives will undoubtedly be the subject of a recount. This will obviously be the Case in Kildonan and St. Andrews where Hon. Or. Montague s majority is reduced to four and in Lakeside and Cypress. All the ministers fared badly. Hon. Hugh Armstrong went Down to defeat in Portage a Prairie by seven votes. The majority of pre majority of t. H. Joh won in Centre Winnipeg was Over 800, achieved the face of the most frenzied attempt of the Roblin machine to defeat him both the victories of or. Dixon Anc or. Johnson were very popular crowds surged round them As they were driven to t he free press office they were seized and carried shoulder High to the platforms from which the results were being published.

George Lawrence in Killarney has a majority of 63 in place of one of 207. Spectacular feature. Perhaps the most spectacular Fea Ture of the election is the return of f. J. Dixon Independent candidate in Centre Winrig Peg by a majority of Over far the largest majority Ever achieved in the a Story of Mani Toba. It is interesting to recall that Premier Roblin in his usual Knightly speech predicted that there would t be even a smell left of Dixon after Juty loth. Four out of six of the Winnipeg seats went lib eral. Clean Liwe eps were made by the opposition in Centre and South Winnipeg while the conservatives Seo Rod both seats in North Winnipeg Beautiful Plains Brandon Cypress Dauphin Dufferin Elmwood Emerson Gilbert Plains Gimli Iberville Kildonan and St. Andrews Killarney Lakeside la Manitou Morris Roblin Rockwood St. Boniface Turtle Moun Tain and.

Four seats of the six comprising the Winnipeg re presentation went to the progressive party headed by t. C. Norris m.p.p., and in each Case the Roblin opponent ran u p a majority that left no doubt As to the will of the people. The result in seat a Centre Winni pea was probably the most notable of those achieved by the progressives Premier. Roblin was personally out to have Tom Johnson Defeated White Trie hotels of which a great Many Are in Centre him viciously and with concealed weapons. The. Victory of f. J. Dixon in seat b is also most noteworthy his huge majority reflecting the Force of his pain. In defeating messes. Andrews and Mcarthur the progressive pair had the government directly behind their opponents. Messes.

In these polls the Liberal candidate has Strong Hopes of receiving a majority. O their honest careers and Sterling personal characters. Lithe North the contest was to Mali ated by the inclusion As candidates of messes. Beech and Saltzman men who had polled heavily of the socialist Democrat vote. In a straight contest Here is no doubt but that Willoughby my Lowery would have Defeated Foley my Mclean the successful conserva Ive candidates.

In regard to the result in caril loathe free press cannot speak this finality. A Tele phone message came through last night saying that All the polls had been heard from and that t. B. Molloy was elected by a Majori a of 7. The free pres s cannot vouch for the authenticity of this information. Ii three constituencies in which the elections have not yet been held anything May happen so far As permanent control is concerned in fact it need cause no Surprise if another election after a Brief interval of uncertainty should be necessary. It is Plain enough however that the shortly come to an ignominious has Beon for years an utterly shameless and in effective organization in fact the worst government that Ever existed tit any part of Canada. With its passing will terminate the personal influence of or. Rogers who Organ Fred and operated the conservative machine in Manitoba since the Advent of the Rob Lin government. The influences behind that government were peculiarly Strong but they have failed to provide or. Roblin with a Safe working majority in the legislative Assembly it Speaks volumes for the Good sense of the peo ple of Manitoba that even so much has been accomplished in the face of a situation so difficult.
