Political Reform Union forms in Manitoba province meeting at Trades Hall
A preliminary meeting in Winnipeg explored forming an independent Political Reform Union. The convention adopted a constitution establishing a provincial executive, district associations, and a system of elections. Officers selected include President J. H. Massam, with Wes Compton as vice president, and George Freeman among others. The group denounced machine politics and subsidies, urged judicial handling of electoral matters, and appointed G. H. West as treasurer. The Winnipeg exhibition trap tournament crowned United men and Robbins of Fargo as top marksman.
