I have done some research to clarify two outstanding points on this page:

1. The CCF candidate formerly identified here appears to have been a Liberal candidate after all, so those mislabelled results have been added to the Liberal totals.

2. One Tory backbencher appears to have run as a Progressive-Conservative. Maybe I'll write an article about him some day.

Mistake

edit

Most other places I have read said that the Conservatives had 137 seats. This includes the Progressive Conservative MP mentioned above. The mistake is that Ernest Edward Perley and William John Loucks, both Saskatchewan MPs, are for some reason listed as Liberals. Both are shown as running for reelection in 1935 as Conservatives and running in 1930 against Liberals (or a Liberal-Progressive in the case of Perley). Shipguy (talk) 01:52, 7 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
