Candidates of the 1917 Victorian state election
(Redirected from Candidates of the Victorian state election, 1917)
The 1917 Victorian state election was held on 15 November 1917.
Since the previous election, the Liberal Party had absorbed pro-conscription Labor defectors and become the Nationalist Party. However, the Nationalists contested this election as three competing factions: Ministerialists, the supporters of Alexander Peacock's government; the "Economy Party", supporters of John Bowser; and the National Labor Party, for those ex-Labor members now supporting the anti-Labor side of politics.
