Manitoba's general election of August 6, 1915 was held to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Manitoba, Canada.This election was held only one year after the previous general election of 1914. In that election, the governing Conservatives of premier Rodmond P. Roblin were...

 parties, which governed the province in succession. After World War I, new political groups and interests emerged to threaten the two-party system.

The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 brought labour issues to the forefront of provincial concern, and radicalized many working-class Manitobans. In previous elections, labour and socialist parties were a marginal force; going into the 1920 election, they stood to make significant electoral gains. In the rural constituencies, several candidates ran for office as farmer representatives, or as "people's candidates" opposed to partisan government.

Against this backdrop, the governing Liberal Party of Tobias C. Norris was forced to run a defensive campaign. Supported by the Winnipeg Free Press

The 1920 election is notable for an experiment in electoral reform in the City of Winnipeg

. Previously, the city had been represented in the legislature by six single-member constituencies. For the 1920 election, these seats were replaced by a single ten-member constituency. The method of election was called proportional representation

Outcome

The election resulted in a fragmented parliament, with no group holding effective power over the legislature. Norris's Liberals remained the largest party, but were reduced to a minority government

 with 21 seats out of 55. The party remained in office until 1922, but could do little in the way of legislative initiatives.

Twelve "farmer" and "independent farmer" candidates were elected in rural constituencies. These legislators were a heterogeneous group, and did not run a united campaign. While not a "political party" in the traditional sense, they were able to form a functional caucus group in the legislature. Some members of this group later joined the political wing of the United Farmers of Manitoba.

Ivens, Armstrong, Queen and Russell were all serving prison sentences at the time of their election, resulting from their activities in the Winnipeg General Strike. Many believed the prison sentences were politically motivated, and the issue was a rallying cry for labour in the campaign.

Seven other labour MLAs were elected in the rest of the province, making the Labour group the third largest in the legislature.

The Conservative Party managed a minor recovery from its disastrous showing in 1915, winning eight seats under new leader Richard G. Willis. Willis himself was not elected.

Three independents were also elected to the legislature.

Sources

The first ballot results for Winnipeg and results for all other constituencies are taken from an official Manitoba government publication entitled "Manitoba elections, 1920-1941" (cross-referenced with an appendix to the government's report of the 2003 provincial election). The Canadian Parliamentary Guide for 1921 lists slightly different results for Dufferin and Gladstone; the other two sources contain more information, however, and may be taken as more reliable.

All ballot results for Winnipeg after the first count are taken from reports in the Winnipeg Free Press newspaper. It is possible that some errors appeared in the original publication.
