Lihcrnl stronghold alter strong- hfllll itlppled before a Conservative "Willis which became evident tllnrtly after the election results began coming in yesterday even-

ln Prince County where it was believed hat J. Watson Mac- Naughtiwas strongly entrenched. Dr. Orville Phillips took a com- fortsble 479 mslority from the veteran Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Fisheries.

John A. MscDonsld' of Cardigan was the popular choice of the people in Kings County and his majority of AM was sufficient to send Thomas Kickhsm of Souris down to defeat.

Angus MacLesn was first elect- ed to the House of Common in a by-election of 1851 and re-elected in the general election of 1953. John A. MacDonald was running his second federal election and is a former member of the Provinc- ial Legislature. He is following in the footsteps of his father who sat in the House of Commons from

PROVINCETOWN. Mass. AP) The wind failed Monday just when Mayflower if was within a day's sailing of port.

Monday was Mayflower 1l's Siznd day out of Plymouth. Eng-

lland. and hcr proximity to hcr idcstination indicated she iias out-

sailing her predecessor by a con- slderablc margin. The original Mayflower required 66 days for the I671) voyage.

Ashore. both here at Mayflow- cr's first stopping place and across Cape Cod Bay at Plymouth. where the voyage ends. the chancc in weather was a sharp disappoint- ment.

Provincctown. at the tip of Cape Cod. had expected the 92 - foot craft by mid-day today.

But at noon Capt Alan Villicrs radioed" "Bccalmcd Bf) miles wcst

By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer The Progressive Conservatives

under John Diefenbaker will form Canada's new government.

dian Press late Monday night in- dicated that the Opposition party broke the Liberals 22-year re- gime in Monday's balloting but will not have an over-all majority in the Commons-

By midnight EDT, the Conserva- tives had elected 104 members against 96 for the Liberals. Other parties were nowhere in the run- ning.

Normal procedure will be for Governor-General Massey to call on the 61-year-old Mr. Diefen- baker--party leader only since last December-to form a govem- merit to succeed Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent's group. since he would have the largest Commons block.

For the first time since 1925, Oanada elected a minority govern- ment in its new Parliament.

John Diefenhaker's Progressive Conservatives slashed deeply into the big Liberal Commons repre- sentation in Monday's general 91. yection voting. and late Monday night it became evident that-no Party would have an absolute ma- jority of the Houses 265 seats.

As the count moved into the Far West with the clock. the Lib- erals and Conservatives were run- ning neck-and-ncck in members elected. and the outcome was a loss-up.

III! CCF and Social Credit were nowhere in the risaws I0 fir-II getting into power was concerned.

The Conservatives under their 61-year-old new leader had boosted their Commons total from 50 at dissolution to a sure 83 and were still picking up seats in the West-

Prime Minister St. Lsurent's L-ibcrals. who had 168 at dissolu- tion. had 92 seats at this stage and stood no chance of getting more than half the seats in the House.

MINISTERS FALL

Seven Liberal ministers had top- pled by this time. along with two parliamentary assistants.

The casualties included Finance Minister Harris, Labor Minister Gregg. Justice Minister Garson, Revenue Minister McCann. Works Minister Winters, Veterans Minis- ter Laoinpte and Associate De fence Minister Hellyer. recently appointed to the cabinet.

Prime Minister Si. Laurent's own parliamentary assistant lW. G. Weir - lost out and so ;did .1. Watson MacNaught. par- lliamcntary assistant for fisheries. 1 Powerful Trade Minister Howe lwas trailing a CCF opponent in lPori Arthur, Oni. The others had been defeated by Conservatives. .

FIRST SINCE I925

With a minority administration emerging from Monday's vr it will be the first time since 1925 that one party leader or another has not brought in a clear major- ity o.' straight party adherents

Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King in that year was returned with 118 Liberals out of a House of 245. However, seven Independent Liberals switched to straight party membership. giving him a work. ing majority in the chamber.

in the present case. the normal procedure would be for Governor- General Vincent Massey to call on the leader with the greatest num- ber of supporters to form a gov- ernment.

GAINS IN MARITIMES In Newfoundland. they gained two seats from th eLiberals. in Nova Scoiia. they took six from the Liberals and one from file CCF. In New Brunswick. they had won at least one Liberal seat, and in P.El. they gained three. In Ontario. Liberal bastions to- pled right and left and by 10 p.m. EDT the Conservatives had taken 20 Ontario seats held by Liberals in the last Parliament. At this time. Trade Minister Howe was trailing a CCF oppon- ent in Port Arthur. Ont. Revenue Minister Mccann lost to a Coll- scrvatlve in Hehfrew South. Prime Minister St. Laurent been elected iiarsonally in Go East. and Immigration Miniatu- Pickersgill had been returned in Newfoundland's Bonavista-Twiilin-

As the count moved westwa with the clock. Justice Minis Garson went down in Marquette. Man.. before Nicholas Mandxiuk of the Progressive Conservstlvu.

The Liberals' only woman mem. ber of the last Parliament - Mrs. Ann Shlpley - lost to a CCF op- ponent in Tlmiskaming. Ont. A major Conservative casualty with Wilfrid Dufresne of Quebec West. but the Conservatives bal- anced this off by taking Quebec's Bonaventure riding from veteran Liberal Bona Arsenauli. t The Conservatives were making gains all along the line, starting 1 with N:wl0llIIdIlIId and moving f West.

Out of Ontario's big block of as seats-largest in the country - they had taken at least 60 Elli. At dissolution. they had 32.
