Notes:
(1)Ralph Smith is reported to have run as an Independent Labour candidate in Vancouver. He was elected defeating both a Liberal and Conservative but immediately joined the Liberal Party caucus when he took his seat in the House of Commons. Some records suggst he ran as a Liberal in 1900. Regardless, he was subsequently re-elected as a "Liberal" in 1904 and 1908 and was defeated in 1911. He is listed in these tables as having been elected as a Liberal.
(2)Arthur Puttee of Winnipeg was elected as a Labour candidate in a 1900 by-election and was re-elected as an Independent Labour MP in the subsequent 1900 election.
