The 1921 Saskatchewan general election was held on June 9, 1921, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.
The Liberal Party of Saskatchewan of Premier William M. Martin was re-elected – although with a diminished share of the popular vote, and a reduced caucus in the legislature.
Donald McLean resigned as leader of the Conservative Party in April 1921, [1] and the party convention decided to only form a committee to make arrangements for the coming election. [1] There were only four candidates who were considered to have a chance of success, [1] of which only two seats were retained. Its share of the popular vote fell from about 36% to less than 4%.
Harris Turner was instrumental in calling a meeting of Conservatives and separate school supporters to form an Independent Movement for the coming election. [2] At a meeting held in Saskatoon in May 1921, it was decided not to establish a party structure, but to organize a central committee to field candidates. [2] John Maharg, president of the Saskatchewan Grain Growers' Association and Minister of Agriculture in the Liberal government, would later accuse the movement of being engineered from the office of John Reid, the federal Minister of Railways. [3] It appeared that the movement was effectively led by W.T. Badger, who was ostensibly campaigning as an Independent Conservative in Rosetown. [3] Candidates in the movement included four Conservative, four Labour and four Non-Partisan figures. [3]
The Independent and Independent Conservative candidates won over 29% of the vote, and voters elected a total of eight Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) under these banners.
The Progressive Party of Saskatchewan made its first appearance, winning six of the seven ridings that it contested.
An Act was passed in 1920 providing for an increase of seats from 59 to 63, upon the next election. [4] Moose Jaw City, Regina City and Saskatoon City now returned two members instead of one, and the following other changes were made:
