| Description | Liberal Protectionist was the name under which three candidates sought election to the Canadian House of Commons for ridings in Quebec in two elections in the early twentieth century.
The Liberal Party of Canada, at the time, was associated with the concept of free trade. Protectionists opposed the concept.
In the 1925 federal election, Léopold Doyon won 2,839 votes, 19.4% of the total, as the only opponent of the Liberal candidate. Ruben-Charles Laurier won 4,076 votes in St. James riding, 26.9% of the total, as the only opponent of the Liberal candidate.
In the 1930 federal election, Lyon William Jacobs won 2,723 votes, 10.2% of the total, placing third of four candidates in Laurier—Outremont riding. [Link] |
