This election was lead for the first time by Premier Arthur Sifton of the Alberta Liberal Party whom took over for Alexander Rutherford.

Events leading to the election

[edit]

The campaign

Premier Arthur L. Sifton

The writ of election was issued after a sitting of the house on the night of March 25, 1913. The premier dropped the election writ and dissolved the house after he ensured that the governments legislation on new electoral boundaries had been given Royal Assent. The new boundaries gave the Liberals an advantage, not only were they blatantly gerrymandered to their favor, but the opposition and even private citizens had a tough time figuring out what district they were in.

Arthur Sifton and his lieutenant Charles Cross both contested nominations in two electoral districts. It was reported in the Calgary Herald that were so scared of the electorate they felt they might not win if they faced just one district. The media accused Premier Sifton of having little confidence in his ability to return his government to power. The Liberal party in order to prevent possible vote splitting made deals with local trade unions and labor organizations to prevent candidates from running under the Labor banner. Charles Wilson Cross (30 November 1872 â€“ 2 June 1928 was a politician from Alberta, Canada. ...

The Conservative Party would protest the snap election by filing a legal injunction in the Supreme Court, to prevent the election from being held on April 17, 1913. The grounds for the injunction were based on the date of nomination closeure being in violation of statue. The writs were issued with nomination day being April 10, 1913. The Conservatives argued that this was 10 hours short of the 16 full days prescribed in the Elections Ordinance, and the election should be ruled invalid.^[1] April 17 is the 107th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (108th in leap years). ... 1913 (MCMXIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday. ...

Gerrymandered boundaries

Prior to the dropping of the writ the Sifton government forced a bill through the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The bill was entitled Bill 90: An Act to Amend an Act concerning members elected to the Legislative assembly of Alberta It was introduced in the assembly on March 20, 1913 and given Royal Assent on March 25, 1913.^[2] The Legislative Assembly of Alberta meets in the provincial capital, Edmonton. ...

March 25 is the 84th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (85th in leap years). ... 1913 (MCMXIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday. ...

The bill increased the amount of electoral districts in the province by 25. The boundaries did not contain equal population with one riding Clearwater only containing 74 people enumerated. Calgary Centre was the largest population wise with 20,000 people enumerated. The bill drawn with a line at the centre of the province gave 30 seats to the north half of the province with 26 seats in the south. Clearwater was a provincial electoral district in Northern Alberta from 1913 to 1926. ... Calgary Centre was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada. ...

The Conservative and Socialist opposition vigorously opposed the bill, but failed to pass any amendments. The bill was jammed through third reading in the March 25 legislative sitting and given Royal Assent that evening, just shy of the writ of elections being dropped.

Siftonism and Crossism

A ad that appeared in the Nanton News April 10, 1913 effectively highlights campaign issues, the ad was run by Conservative J.T. Cooper to attack his opponet Liberal John Glendenning

The Liberal campaign was dubbed "Siftonism" inferring that Sifton was a disease that needed to be cleaned from Alberta. The media at the time picked up on that, and roasted the Liberal party. The Conservative party attacked the Liberals on the Railway Scandal and Lack of provincial infrastructure. Image File history File links 1913nantondistrictelectionad. ...
