The second choice preferences of Co-operative Commonwealth candidate D. MacGregor put Wray ahead of Laut and gave him a slim majority to pick up the district for his party.
[2] Wray lobbied Public Works minister William Fallow to begin clearing the provincial main and secondary highways that became impassable outside of the town.
This came to a head in February 1947 when the Assembly moved and voted on a motion forcing Wray to cross the floor to the opposition benches.
Speaker Peter Dawson forced Wray to move by not recognizing him in the debate because he was not at his desk, which was now on the opposition side.
[5] Wray ran once more for a seat as an Independent candidate in the Calgary electoral district in the 1955 Alberta general election.
