William Hearst (Ontario Premier)
William Hearst (February 15, 1864–September 29, 1941) was the Conservative Premier of the Canadian province of Ontario from 1914 to 1919.
His government passed legislation to permit women to vote in provincial elections, and held a plebiscite on prohibition. The plebiscite was held the same day as the 1919 general election. While prohibition was approved by the voters, the Hearst government was unexpectedly defeated by the United Farmers of Ontario party in their first election.
