The Liberal Party of former premier James Gardiner 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.Latimer Kendall KKK history challenges idea Sask. always welcomed newcomers: expert https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/ku-klux-klan-saskatchewan-history-1.4251309 August 18, 2017 CBC Saskatchewan August 20, 2021 Kyba Patrick Canadian Plains Research Center Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan Ku Klux Klan http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/ku_klux_klan.html 2010-09-13 2006 University of Regina Regina, Saskatchewan https://web.archive.org/web/20160119170545/http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/ku_klux_klan.html 2016-01-19 dead Weedmark, Kevin.

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.
