date. The by-election would mark the beginning for the end of the Liberal government in Alberta. 1921 general election The 1921 Alberta general election held in Cochrane saw another two-way fight. The election was contested by incumbent Alexander Moore who had won a historic by-election victory in the district just two years before. The Liberals who had fought hard to keep the seat in the by-election hatched a plan to team up with the Conservatives. The two parties held a joint nomination meeting to run a candidate under both banners in the district. The party members nominated Angus McDonald, a popular rancher residing in the district, to oppose Moore and support the administration of Premier Charles Stewart. The results came back as a landslide for Moore. He easily held his seat and kept the district for the United Farmers defeating Angus. The United Farmers would sweep many rural districts across the province that election to form the second Government of Alberta. Moore increased the percentage of the popular vote to almost 64%. 1926 general election 1930 general election 1935 general election See also List of Alberta provincial electoral districts Cochrane, Alberta, a town in Southern Alberta References Further reading External links Elections Alberta The Legislative Assembly of Alberta Former provincial electoral districts of Alberta 1909 establishments in Alberta
