MONTREAL, Nov. 25—The Quebec Liberal Govern- ment tonight emerged victorious from the closest election in the history of the province but with its majority of 6S, cut to six before the vigorous attack of the alliance of Con- servatives and Action Liberale Nationale partie.

Final figures, subject to revision when a number of close. votes are recounted, showed the Liberal adherents had taken 48 seats against 42 for the alliance. By parties the 90 members of the 19th Legislature will be: Liberal 47; Conservative 16; Action Liberale

For an hour, as the Canadian Press returns poured in-

to Montreal, it appeared as

if the 38-year-old government

might be defeated. But last minute returns turned the

tide and assured the vetera

will, Provincial Treasurer, in Brcme. i

The legislature has been called for Jan. 7 when the powerful oppo- sition facing the government will include a number of men who have made their mark in the province.

Among them will be J. Oscar Drouin, chief organizer of Action Liberale Nationale, who was elect- ed in Quebec East, the same seat he held as a Liberal from 1928 un- til he Joined A. L. N. this year. Mr. Drouin is the on‘y A. L. N. mem- her-elect with legislative experience. Mayor J. E. Gregoire, of Quebec, who captured Moutmagny and Fred A. Monk, fo.mer president o.’ the Arch-Liberal Montreal Reform Club, are others outstanding in the A. L. N. party. Mr. Monk won Jacques Cartier.

Conservatives Returned

Conservatives held 11 seats in the 18th legislature and held eight of them today. In addition to Mr. Du- plessis the iormer members returned were Martin Fisher, Huntingdon;

‘i i .

C. ll. Gault, Montreal St. George; Brig-Gen. C. A. Smart, Westmount; P. A. Lafleur, Montreal Verdun; Lament Barre, Rouvllle: Pierre Bertrand, St. Sauveur and Antonio Ellie, Yamaska. The seats lost, all to Liberals,’ were Two Mountains. where senator Sauve's son, Paul Sauve, was defeated in a close vote; Chambly and I-lull, which Aime Guertin formerly held.

F. L. Connors, the Independent- Liberal elected in Montreal St. Ann, can be counted as a Liberal sup- porier of Mr. Taschereau. Mr. Con- nors, in a pre-election statement, said he entered the lists as he did not believe the convention which chose John Mulcair as official Lib- eral candidate was truly rcpresen- tative of the constituency.

To Demand Recounts

It was regarded as certain a large number of defeated candidates would demand recount; while Mr. Gouin stated “the fight has only begun." He stated legal contesta- tions would be made of the election of a number of Liberals, due to "e-kction irregularities."
