Liberals Sweep Dominion Halton Returns Liberal Victory
The Dominion election delivers the Liberals the largest national representation since Confederation with Halton county returning Hughes Cleaver by a sweeping majority of 1394. Acton and regional results show strong Liberal support, while the Reconstruction Party collapses with only its leader victorious. King’s Liberal government gains a solid majority and cabinet plans push their campaign platform.
