  Arthur Meighen - Search View - MSN Encarta
Meighen believed that the general election in 1917 would be fought on the issue of the draft.
The Military Voters Act and the War Times Election Act took the vote away from conscientious objectors and German-speaking naturalized citizens and gave it to the female relatives of men on active service, who until that time had not had the right to vote.
Meighen was making no headway in Québec, even though in a speech in Hamilton he had said that the government should consult “the people at a general election before troops should leave our shores.” He only alienated some of his imperialist supporters with this statement.

By the time nominations had closed for the October 14 general election, there were 174 Reconstruction candidates, most of them political novices, with 33 farmers forming the largest single group.
In provincial elections in June and July the last two Tory governments fell by astonishing margins: only eight Conservatives were returned to New Brunswick's forty-eight constituencies, and on Prince Edward Island the Liberals carried every seat.
