Edmonton (territorial electoral district)

Although the Legislative Council was not dissolved, elections were held in most of the North-West Territories in 1885, and Oliver was defeated by local physician and businessman Herbert Charles Wilson, who became speaker of the Assembly.As Edmonton was now a single-member district again, Oliver remained MLA for another five years, with no challengers in the 1891 or 1894 elections.Both men contested the seat again in the general election of 1898, but McCauley triumphed a second time.While MLA, Secord challenged Frank Oliver for his House of Commons seat in the 1904 federal election, but was defeated.He did not seek re-election when Alberta was created in 1905 (although both Rutherford and McCauley went on to become MLAs in the new province).
