Northwest Territories politicians Hi I used various news paper accounts from that period as well as other sources That was in an era before my writing improved and i started referencing sources better I could never find anything to truly complete though I actually meant to go clean up the 1902 article and change the party affiliations to Government Opposition and Independents and its various permutations some day It was written on the somewhat false assumption that Government candidates were automatically Liberal Conservatives and Opposition candidates were Liberals This was the first mention i found of Northwest Territories parties and early elections which is what drove me to discover when the early elections were held because Wikipedia had no information what so ever for early NWT elections at that time Also the Parliament website that has MP s and Senators who were MLA s sometimes has party affiliations for that period in their Federal Political Experience Some articles from the 1898 territorial election mention races being fought on party lines The Glenbow museum also had mention of communications from the Northwest Territories Liberal Conservative Association from 1898 although I may have been mistaken as that was probably a federal party communication There defiantly was a Northwest Territories Conservative and Liberal party though as this article proves A wealth of information on who was actually in the party and it hints there was prior conventions A lot more research sourcing and cleanup needs to be done
