Dominion Labor Party (Alberta)

It was founded on June 11, 1918 when Edmonton's Labour Representation League renamed itself the Alberta wing of the DLP.

In addition to its natural opponents, the Liberals and Conservatives, it competed with the Independent Labor Party, which fielded candidates in the election.

Four Dominion Labor Party members were elected to the Legislative Assembly – Fred White and Alex Ross in Calgary, William Johnston in Medicine Hat.

Alex Ross was invited to join the United Farmers cabinet and served as Minister of Public Works.

The DLP organization in Calgary, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat carried on under the old Dominion Labor name.
