Tasmanian state election, 1913

Tasmanian state election, 1913

Distribution of Seats

Aftermath

Solomon achieved what he had hoped by calling an early election: Donald Cameron lost his seat which was picked up by the Liberals, giving them a more favourable two-seat majority in the house. This advantage, however, was short-lived. The Liberals lost a seat in a by-election, and the erratic behaviour of MHA Joshua Whitsitt was coming under question. Solomon lost a no-confidence motion in April 1914, and the Governor denied his request for another dissolution, calling upon John Earle to form a Labor government.
