  1. ^ Macdonald led a Coalition between the Liberal-Conservative Party and the Liberal Party.
  2. ^ Resigned to lead the federal Liberal Party when the "dual mandate" rule was abolished
  3. ^ Drury led a Coalition between the United Farmers Party and the Labour Party.
  4. ^ Drury did not win a seat in the legislature until a 1920 by-election.
  5. ^ Drew won the election for his party, but lost his own seat in High Park and resigned rather than seeking a bi-election.
  6. ^ Miller's Progressive Conservatives had more seats than Peterson's Liberals in the 33rd legislature, but Peterson had the formal support of the NDP through a signed accord. The two parties defeated Miller with a Motion of no confidence immediately after the election and formed government under Peterson without an official coalition.
