In the 1934 election, the Provincial Liberals under Mitch Hepburn were elected. They had not been in power since 1905. Once in power, it was time for Tory supporters to be removed from government jobs and good Liberals be appointed. This was managed by the local Liberal executive.
The new Liberal member at Queen’s was David Arnold Croll, PC, QC (1900 – 1991). He was minister of public works and municipal affairs in the Mitch Hepburn government.
