Manitoba general election, 1910
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manitoba's general election of July 11, 1910 was held to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Manitoba, Canada.
The result was a fourth consecutive majority government for the Conservative Party of Manitoba, led by premier Rodmond Palen Roblin. Roblin's electoral machine won 28 seats, against 13 for the opposition Manitoba Liberal Party under new leader Tobias C. Norris.
The Manitoba Labour Party ran a single candidate: Fred Dixon, who was almost elected in Winnipeg Centre with unofficial support from the Liberal Party. Many believe that Dixon was defeated by the Socialist Party's decision to field a candidate against him. The Socialists ran two other candidates in Winnipeg, and both were defeated.
