It was held on January 25, 1905, to elect the 98 Members of the 11th Legislative Assembly of Ontario ("MLAs"). The Ontario Conservative Party, led by Sir James P. Whitney, defeated the Ontario Liberal Party, led by Sir George William Ross, bringing to an end the control of the government that the Liberal Party had exercised power for the previous 34 years. Background The Liberal Party had been in power in Ontario for the last 34 years. 24 of these were under Oliver Mowat, who was seen as a popular, moderate leader.Randall White Ontario, 1610-1985: A Political and Economic History Dundurn Press 1985 0-919670-99-7 The Liberals had been able to stay dominant elections due to Mowat's willingness to compromise and his support from farmers. In 1896, Mowat resigned the position of premier to join the cabinet of Wilfrid Laurier. He was replaced by Arthur Hardy, who resigned 3 years later due to poor health, and was replaced by George William Ross, the former Minister of Education. The Liberals had declined significantly since the retirement of Mowat, losing the popular vote and winning only a small majority in the 1902 election. Demographic factors had hurt the party. Industrial cities that typically voted Conservative were growing while farmers - a core constituency of the Liberals - were on decline. The dominant Liberal government was also strongly criticised for corruption. In one case, Francis Clergue, a supporter of the Liberal government, was accused of bringing over Americans in Michigan and handing out drinks to get them to vote for Liberals in Sault Ste. Marie. Ross did not have Mowat's reputation of being seen as an "honest Christian man" and so found it harder to defend against the allegations. Prohibition was also an issue after the British Privy Council declared that provinces had the right to restrict alcohol. Unlike Mowat, Ross was a much more hesitant supporter of Prohibition, believing it would be unpopular. Instead, Ross held a referendum on Prohibition in 1902, in which the motion failed despite "Yes" winning a majority of the vote, due to a 2/3rds majority being needed for it to pass. This angered pro-Prohibition Liberals and divided the party that already held a small majority. Division in the party lead to Ross calling an election in 1905. Campaign The main focus of the campaign was on the Conservatives attacking the Liberal "machine" which had dominated elections in the Province, especially between 1898 and 1904, and was involved in numerous instances of bribery and other corrupt practices.Hopkins 1906 204–206 This was further highlighted by the fact that no Liberals were prosecuted for this, while Conservatives were involved in fewer such matters but faced numerous convictions.Hopkins 1906 206 By 1905, this had led to widespread disgust,Hopkins 1906 208 and one Tory candidate, P.D. Ross in Ottawa, declared upon his nomination that every honest man should be a Conservative.Hopkins 1906 209 The Globe, a newspaper founded by Liberal George Brown, endorsed the Conservatives. The ensuing Conservative victory was overwhelming. Six constituencies returned Tory members for the first time ever since Confederation, plus eight others which had only done so once before.Hopkins 1906 215–216 Most cities, other than Ottawa and Kingston, voted Conservative.Hopkins 1906 216 Electoral system Ottawa had two seats, and plurality block voting was used. Elsewhere the first-past-the-post election system was used.
