New Premier Has Plenty Of Material From Which To Choose His Cabinet
The dramatic overturn of the King government follows with Premier King meeting the Governor-General to resign and invite Bennett to form a government. Bennett faces a large, province-spanning cabinet pool, with strong backing in Quebec, Ontario, and the prairies, and may appoint a Washington minister and London high commissioner if Massey resigns. Returns suggest a heavy vote, prairie turnout up 60 percent, with conservatives gaining in New Brunswick and Quebec, little change in Ontario, and Agnes MacPhail remaining the lone woman MP.
