.

was returned to power with a large majority – 50 of the 55 seats in the legislature – after the four year Conservative minority government
interlude.
After forming a coalition government to oust the Liberals from power after the 1929 election
, James T.M. Anderson
's Conservative
government had tried to use anti-Catholic
and anti-French Canadian
feeling in the province to win support. The Conservatives also had the support of the Ku Klux Klan, which was a significant force in the province at the time. The Tories
also had to contend with the effects of the Great Depression
and the Prairie dust bowl
, however – and although they won about a quarter of the popular vote, they won no seats in the legislature. The Conservatives remained a minor force in Saskatchewan politics for 40 years after this defeat.
The Tories' allies in the previous legislature – the Progressives
– did not nominate candidates in this election, and were replaced by Farmer-Labour candidates as the voice of the Left
in the province.
