1904–1905 uprising in Madagascar, Timeline
Having defeated the French at Amparihy, the rebellion spread to Midony, Ranotsara, Befotaka, and Begogo. At Begogo, the rebels massacred a group of French soldiers. In late November, the rebels reached the district of Vondrozo and the French post at Bemahala. On 2 December, a rebel attack on Vatanato was barely repelled after reserves aided the French defenders. That defeat notwithstanding, the rebels captured Ranomafana (2 Dec), Isaka (3 Dec), Esira (3 Dec), Itapert (4 Dec), Fort Dauphin (4 Dec), and Menambaro (6 Dec). The rebel advance was marked by widespread looting.

However, rebel victories were not to last. On 23 November, A military expedition under Captain Quinque encompassing 100 guns was dispatched from Vangaindrano towards Begogo and Ranotsara. On 2 December, Quinque's forces defeated the rebels at Ambiliony and subsequently captured the villages of Ranotsara and Begogo. From Ranotsara, Quinque's forces advanced on Ihosy, where they massacred 18 civilians. The French attempted to follow up these victories by defeating Kotavy's forces at Iobomary, but were unsuccessful, with Kotavy repelling every assault and still controlling the village by March 1905.


1904–1905 uprising in Madagascar, Timeline
However, with resources dwindling, Kotavy was forced to retreat to a better defensive position, and on 15 March his forces retreated to Papanga, to the northwest of Ranotsara. Eventually Kotavy had to also abandon Papanga and had to hide in the forest of Farahigelahy, northwest of Amparihy. After the information regarding his whereabouts was given to the French by one of his captured supporters on 19 August, Kotavy was finally arrested on 30 August in Sandravinany. After the fall of Kotavy, other rebel leaders quickly surrendered, ending the revolt. Kotavy was executed on 5 September. Despite another uprising in 1947, Madagascar would remain under French rule until 1960.


1905
1905 (MCMV) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar and a common year starting on Saturday of the Julian calendar, the 1905th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 905th  year of the 2nd millennium, the 5th  year of the 20th century, and the  6th   year of the 1900s decade. As of the start of 1905, the Gregorian calendar was 13 days ahead of the Julian calendar, which remained in localized use until 1923.


1905
As the second year of the massive Russo-Japanese War begins, more than 100,000 die in the largest world battles of that era, and the war chaos leads to the 1905 Russian Revolution against Nicholas II of Russia (Shostakovich's 11th Symphony is subtitled The Year 1905 to commemorate this) and the start of Revolution in the Kingdom of Poland. Canada and the U.S. expand west, with the Alberta and Saskatchewan provinces and the founding of Las Vegas. 1905 is also the year in which Albert Einstein, at this time resident in Bern, publishes his four Annus Mirabilis papers in Annalen der Physik (Leipzig) (March 18, May 11, June 30 and September 27), laying the foundations for more than a century's study of theoretical physics.


1905 (band)
1905 was a  political hardcore punk band from Washington, D.C., formed in 2000. The band featured dual male and female vocals, their music drew inspiration from a combination of early 1980s UK anarcho-punk bands such as Crass, Zounds, The Mob as well as folk and hardcore punk. The band has been cited as a major influence on several bands including Defiance, Ohio and modern screamo acts like I Would Set Myself on Fire for You and post-hardcore band Pygmylush, among others. The band broke up in 2005 after the release of their only album "Voice", released on Exotic Fever Records.


1905 (film)
1905 (一九〇五, Ichi Kyū Zero Go) was a Japanese film to be directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Shota Matsuda, and Atsuko Maeda. Originally scheduled to be released in late 2013, on 25 February 2013, it was announced that production of the film had been cancelled before filming could start due to difficulties with Tony Leung's involvement exacerbated by the Senkaku Islands dispute and the bankruptcy of Prenom H on 20 February 2013.


1905 (film), Plot
In 1905, during the waning years of the Qing Dynasty, at a time when numerous Chinese revolutionaries traveled to Japan as students to study modernization, Yan Yunlong (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), a loan shark, travels to Japan to collect overdue debts from five men. Meanwhile, Tamotsu Kato (Shota Matsuda) is a member of Houkokukai, an ultra-nationalist group, who is also searching for the same five men.


1905 (film), Production
Plans for the film were made in 2009. Although the film was a Japanese production, approximately 90% of dialogue was to be in Chinese. Filming was scheduled to start in November 2012, in various locations in Japan and Taiwan. The film was scheduled to be released in Fall 2013. During the filming process, the set in Taiwan was to recreate Yokohama as it appeared in 1905. The film was backed by Hong Kong-based film studio Sil-Metropole, and was to be co-distributed by Shochiku and Prenom H. The project was estimated to cost $10 million, and was Kurosawa's largest film to date.


1905 AAA Championship Car season
The 1905 AAA National Motor Car Championship consisted of 11 points-paying races, beginning in The Bronx, New York on June 10 and concluding in Poughkeepsie, New York on September 29. There were also at least two non-championship events held during the year. This was the first year that the AAA Contest Board (then known as the Racing Board) officially recognized a National Champion in American Championship Car competition.

The 1905 AAA National Champion was Barney Oldfield. For reasons unclear, but likely due to a change in attitudes and opinions by AAA officials about the dangers of racing following several serious accidents, no national championship was officially recognized again until 1916.

In 1951, Victor Hémery, winner of the 1905 Vanderbilt Cup, was retroactively awarded a national championship.


1905 Aberdare Urban District Council election
The Aberdare Urban District Council was established in 1894 and covered the parish of Aberdare. Its responsibilities included public health, sanitation, roads and public works generally.


1905 Aberdare Urban District Council election
There were five wards, namely Aberaman (also known as No. 5 Ward), Blaengwawr (also known as No. 4 Ward), Gadlys (also known as No. 2 Ward), Llwydcoed (also known as No. 1 Ward), and the Town Ward (also known as No. 3 Ward). Originally, one member was elected from each ward on an annual basis, but from 1904 an additional member was granted to each ward resulting in the election of ten members, out of a total of twenty, every three years. At the intervening election, one member continued to be elected.


1905 Aberdare Urban District Council election
An election was held in April 1905. It was preceded by the 1904 election and followed by the 1906 election. The term of office of members elected at the 1902 election came to an end and those elected were to serve until 1908. There were contested elections in three of the five wards. In both the Gadlys and Town wards the sitting members were returned unopposed after the Trades and Labour Council resolved not to run candidates.

1905 Alabama Crimson White football team
The 1905 Alabama Crimson White football team (variously "Alabama", "UA" or "Bama") represented the University of Alabama in the 1905 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. It was Alabama's 13th overall and 10th season as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA). The team was led by head coach Jack Leavenworth, in his first year, and played their home games at both the University of Alabama Quad in Tuscaloosa and the Birmingham Fairgrounds in Birmingham, Alabama. They finished the season with a record of six wins and four losses (6–4 overall, 4–4 in the SIAA).

1905 Alberta general election
The 1905 Alberta general election was the first general election held in the Province of Alberta, Canada on November 9, 1905, to elect twenty five members of the Alberta legislature to the 1st Alberta Legislative Assembly, shortly after the province was created out of the Northwest Territories on September 1, 1905.


1905 Alberta general election
The Alberta Liberal Party of Alexander C. Rutherford won twenty three of the twenty five seats in the new legislature, defeating the Conservative Party, which was led by a young lawyer, Richard Bennett, who later served as Prime Minister of Canada.


1905 Alberta general election
Prior to the 1905 election the two political parties saw numerous changes and defections, In Alberta a host of former Liberal-Conservative MLA's jumped ship to the Liberals, when Sir Wilfrid Laurier appointed the Liberal provisional government prior to the election. The Conservatives had no strong leader to rally around at the time as Frederick Haultain had moved to Saskatchewan.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Government in the North-West Territories
In 1867, with Confederation, the new Dominion of Canada sought to expand westward and fulfil the provision of the British North America Act providing the option to admit Rupert's land to the Dominion. In that same year, Canada's Parliament expressed this desire to the United Kingdom and soon after entered into talks with the Hudson's Bay Company to arrange for the transfer of the territory.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Government in the North-West Territories
After the Deed of Surrender was enacted, the United Kingdom transferred ownership of Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory from the Hudson's Bay Company to the government of Canada. However, integration of the territories into Canadian Confederation was delayed by the Red River Rebellion around the Red River Colony. Eventually the territories were admitted into Canadian Confederation on July 15, 1870, as the North-West Territories; barring the area around the Red River Colony, which was admitted into Canadian Confederation as the province of Manitoba.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Government in the North-West Territories
The unelected Temporary North-West Council was formed under the Temporary Government Act, 1870, but the first appointments by the Government of Canada were delayed until November 28, 1872. The unelected body existed until October 1876 when it was replaced by the 1st Council of the North-West Territories, which consisted of appointed members, but with provisions for election of members when a district of an area of 1,000 square miles (2,600 km2) had 1,000 people an electoral district could be set up. This created a patchwork of represented and unrepresented areas, and there was no official or independent boundaries commission, all electoral law at the beginning was under the purview of the Lieutenant Governor.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Government in the North-West Territories
The first by-election occurred on March 23, 1881, in the Lorne district with Lawrence Clarke being elected to the Council. The election was conducted by voice vote, a qualified elector would tell the returning officer at a polling station who he was going to vote for and the results would be tallied. Under the terms of the Act eligible electors were males who had reached the age of majority, which was 21 years of age at that time. The act specified that electors must be bona fide males who were not aliens or unenfranchised Indians.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Government in the North-West Territories
Electors must also have resided in the territory for at least 12 months to the day of the writ being dropped. The ad hoc by-election system continued to operate until 1888 when the Temporary North-West Council was replaced with an elected, responsible government through a Legislative Assembly selected in the 1888 North-West Territories general election. Robert Brett, the representative for the Red Deer district was appointed the Chairman of the Executive Committee, the defacto Premier of the North-West Territories.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Government in the North-West Territories
The 1898 North-West Territories general election brought party politics to the Territories as Frederick W. A. G. Haultain's Liberal-Conservative Party defeated Brett's Liberal Party to form government. The beginning of party politics in the Territories sparked controversy and was not done through any Grass roots movement or formed on traditional ideological lines, and was done by Haultain in such a way that there was very little visibility to the public until years later after the party system began to mature.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Drive to provincehood
The earliest calls for Alberta's provincial autonomy came from Robert Brett in 1896, when he proposed the formation of a new province from the District of Alberta and District of Athabasca. However, Brett's proposal did not gain support, and was opposed by Premier Haultain who preferred the Territories form one large province.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Drive to provincehood
In 1900, Haultain secured unanimous approval of a resolution asking the Government of Canada to make an inquiry into the terms for provincial status of the Territories, and a year later Haultain and Arthur Sifton met with federal cabinet and submitted a draft constitution for a new province in the North-West Territories. Wilfrid Laurier's government was not prepared consider the proposals, concerned about the difficult questions surrounding religious education, delegation of authority, and general apathy towards provincehood of Western Liberal Members of Parliament such as Frank Oliver.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Drive to provincehood
The 1902 North-West Territories general election only served to press the issue of provincehood. The Territories were under growing financial stress from limited revenue generation authorities and rising immigration. Haultain's government was reelected in a chaotic and partisan election, although despite the divisions, the Assembly continued to agree that provincial autonomy was a pressing concern. During this time, Robert Borden, leader of the federal Conservative Party began to support provincehood for the Territories. Frustrated in negotiations with the federal Liberal government, Haultain became increasingly identified with the Conservative Party and campaigned for it in the 1904 federal election. Despite Haultain's influence, Laurier's Liberals were re-elected and captured 58 per cent of the vote in the North-West Territories.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Drive to provincehood
Laurier had promised during the election that his government would address the issue of provincial status, and despite efforts by Frank Oliver to downplay the benefits of autonomy through his Edmonton newspaper the Bulletin, the Liberal government's Speech from the Throne to start the 10th Canadian Parliament committed the government to action on the question of autonomy.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Terms of provincehood
The federal government drafted a bill for consultation, the bill provided for the establishment of two new provinces, retained federal ownership of public lands and resources, and provided financial terms which historian Lewis Thomas described as "not ungenerous".


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Terms of provincehood
However, the greatest opposition came with clauses providing education rights to minority faiths through separate schools with the right enshrined to establish schools and be provided public funds. The Laurier government had previously been embroiled in similar controversial schools question in Manitoba a decade earlier, which resulted in the Laurier-Greenway compromise and the removal of minority school rights in Manitoba, much to the opposition of French-Canadians and the Catholic Church. The Haultain government had been engaged in a progressive reduction of the minority faith education privileges, with only eleven separate schools in operation by 1905.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Terms of provincehood
Minister of the Interior and the Western Liberal representative in Cabinet Clifford Sifton, who had been travelling away from Ottawa during the drafting of the bill returned to Ottawa to resign his portfolio in protest, while Finance Minister William Stevens Fielding considered resigning as well. The education matter was highly controversial in English Canada, eliciting responses from Liberal newspapers and stoking fears for Liberal unity, however in the Territories the issue was not seen as significant. Instead the main issue in the Territories was the location of the new provincial capital and ownership of public lands and resources. The bill was amended to provide minority faiths the right to separate schools under provincial control. As for continued federal control of natural resource rights, the provinces were each promised $375,000 annually with a provision for population growth.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Terms of provincehood
The selection of the new provincial capital became a driving issue, with the finalized Alberta Act identifying a "provisional" capital in Edmonton, with the final capital to be chosen by the new provincial government, against he competing interests of Calgary. Calgary had the advantage of having a slightly larger population and located in a more densely populated part of the province, while Edmonton was the geographic centre of the province. Edmonton had a strong advantage with the presence of Frank Oliver in cabinet, and a promise from Member of Parliament for Strathcona Peter Talbot that he would "fight to the finish" to ensure the provisional capital was in either Edmonton or Strathcona.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Terms of provincehood
The electoral districts for the first provincial election were established in the Alberta Act. The final layout favored northern Alberta with one additional district, despite Oliver and Talbot being aware that more than 1,000 more voters south of the Red Deer River participated in the 1904 Territorial election. Calgary Liberal Charles Stuart argued that a non-partisan commission would be best to establish the boundaries, but was willing to back down when it became apparent the federal Liberals would not implement such a commission. Despite opposition from Calgary Conservatives and Liberals, Oliver and Talbot continued to support the electoral boundaries favouring Northern Alberta, and Laurier kept the boundaries in place.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Appointing a Lieutenant Governor and Premier
An interim government was appointed to handle the affairs of the new provinces from the date of confederation on September 1, 1905, and the election in November 1905. Lieutenant Governor of the North-West Territories Amédée E. Forget was appointed to the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan while staunch Liberal George H. V. Bulyea a former member of the Territorial Legislature was appointed to the Lieutenant Governor role in Alberta. Frank Oliver was considered for the role of Alberta's first Premier, but instead sought the role of Minister of the Interior in Laurier's government instead.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Appointing a Lieutenant Governor and Premier
Talbot was also strongly considered by Laurier and other members of the Liberal Party for Alberta's first Premier. Talbot however, was not a wealthy individual and stated that politics was beyond his financial means and strength, and instead sought a position in the Senate, which he was appointed to in 1906. Historian Lewis Thomas states that he believes that Laurier would have appointed Talbot the first Premier of Alberta if he had showed interest in the position. The next candidate was Alexander Cameron Rutherford, the member of the North-West Territories Assembly for Strathcona, although Laurier remained quiet on the decision, leading to some speculation.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Appointing a Lieutenant Governor and Premier
Speculation on the future Premier ended when Rutherford was named the leader of the Alberta Liberal Party on August 13, 1905, and a few days later Haultain announced he would remain in Saskatchewan to form a provincial rights party. Similarly, R. B. Bennett, a young Calgary lawyer was chosen as the leader of the Alberta Conservative Party shortly after on August 16, 1905.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Appointing a Lieutenant Governor and Premier
Historian Lewis Thomas argues that Laurier's decision to remain silent on naming a Premier helped weaken Haultain's position as the heir apparent, and if Laurier had named Rutherford earlier, Haultain and his supporters of non-partisan government could have mounted a stronger protest and campaign. Laurier's appointment of staunch Liberals in Bulyea, Forget, Rutherford and Walter Scott ushered in party politics to the new prairie provinces.


1905 Alberta general election, Background, Appointing a Lieutenant Governor and Premier
On September 2, 1905, Lieutenant Governor Bulyea in his first official act called on Rutherford to form the provincial government, and was sworn in as Alberta's first Premier.


1905 Alberta general election, Issues, Capital city
Section 9 of the Alberta Act prescribed that the seat of government would be held in Edmonton, but provided authority to the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta to move the capital. Essentially, naming Edmonton as a temporary capital until a decision could be made by the elected provincial government.


1905 Alberta general election, Issues, Capital city
The competition for the provincial capital was fierce between Calgary and Edmonton. At events in Edmonton, Liberal Attorney General Charles Wilson Cross assured the crowds that Edmonton would remain the capital, while his Conservative candidate William Antrobus Griesbach stated that all thirteen northern conservative candidates supported Edmonton as the capital.


1905 Alberta general election, Issues, Capital city
At the same time, Conservative leader Bennett told crowds in Calgary that if elected, his conservative government would establish the capital in Calgary. Bennett's Liberal opponent and Minister of Public Works William Henry Cushing pledged to bring the capital to Calgary, earning him the endorsement of the Calgary Albertan published by William McCartney Davidson. Meanwhile, the Calgary Herald opposed Cushing, and argued that the federal liberals were "directed toward the destruction of that commercial and industrial supremacy" of Calgary, and accused the provincial liberals of being puppets of the federal party.


1905 Alberta general election, Issues, Capital city
Residents of Red Deer made an effort to position the community as a compromise capital, located approximately halfway between the two competing cities. Although the small community and disinterest from federal elected officials hampered Red Deer's efforts for being considered a viable capital.


1905 Alberta general election, Issues, Capital city
After the election resulted in an overwhelming Liberal majority, Premier Rutherford announced the location of the capital city was to be chosen by an open vote of the Legislature. The Calgary Board of Trade and newspapers recognizing the uphill battle to be named capital gave very little effort in rallying Calgarians and southern Albertans to the cause. Furthermore, Red Deer's elected member John Thomas Moore, who was chosen as the man "most likely to secure the capital", was largely ineffective as he left for the east after the election to attend to personal business. On April 25, 1906, Cushing made a motion in the Legislature to move the capital to Calgary, a second motion was made by Moore to move the capital to Red Deer. A vote was held, with eight members voting for Calgary and a majority 16 voting for Edmonton.


1905 Alberta general election, Issues, Education
After bitter debate across Canada, the proposed Alberta Act was amended by Laurier in second reading on March 22, and later passed by the 10th Canadian Parliament with provisions providing minority faiths the right to separate schools under provincial control. Alberta conservatives rallied against the education provisions, but the party and leadership declined to make the repeal of the provisions an issue in the campaign. The Alberta liberals chose to campaign on accepting the decisions of parliament in regards to the schools issue, and instead focus on "an efficient system of public schools".


1905 Alberta general election, Campaign
The writ for the election was issued on October 19, 1905, with the election scheduled to take place three weeks later on November 9. Liberal William Bredin was the only candidate acclaimed, with no contest necessary in the Athabasca.

Rutherford began his term as the appointed Premier by forming a cabinet inclusive of all the major regions of the province. Charles Wilson Cross of Medicine Hat was appointed Attorney General, William Henry Cushing of Calgary as Minister of Public Works, William Finlay of Edmonton as Minister of Agriculture, and Leverett George DeVeber of Lethbridge as Minister without a portfolio was added to cabinet.


1905 Alberta general election, Campaign, Liberal
The Liberal platform was adopted at the party convention in Calgary in October 1905. Recognizing the party was chosen to form government prior to the election, and the friendly relations with the Liberal federal government, the Liberal platform skirted mild and controversial issues. The issues of separate schools and public lands were not addressed, and instead the convention noted adherence to "the principle of Provincial rights" as the party policy. The Liberals instead sought an efficient system of public schools supported by taxation and regulated by the provincial government. The Liberals responded to conservative calls for public ownership of utilities by recognizing that public ownership was desirable and should be considered. The platform also advocated for agricultural industry, and was against incurring provincial debt.


1905 Alberta general election, Campaign, Liberal
The Liberal Party received support from the Calgary Albertan newspaper, as well as Oliver's Edmonton Bulletin.


1905 Alberta general election, Campaign, Conservative
With the exodus of Haultain to Saskatchewan, the Conservative movement was in desperate need of a new charismatic leader to face the incumbent Liberal party, which they found in the young Calgary lawyer R. B. Bennett. The province was politically divided on geographic grounds, with Edmonton and northern Alberta leaning towards the Liberal Party, and Calgary and southern Alberta leaning more conservative. Calgary and southern Alberta's conservative leaning was linked to the presence of the Canadian Pacific Railway which was generally regarded as exercising influence on behalf of the conservative movement.


1905 Alberta general election, Campaign, Conservative
The Conservative Party policy focused on protesting the federal government retaining public lands and resources, develop government owned utilities such as telephone lines, and advocated for government construction and maintenance of roads and bridges. While Griesbach sought and Edmonton conservatives sought to demand Edmonton as the provincial capital, the party took no official position on the matter. The party did not take an official stance on the issue of separate schools for minority faiths being included in the Alberta Act, owing to the influence of Bennett and Senator James Lougheed. Although Bennett did make a speech decrying the federal government including the separate school provisions as an attack on provincial rights. Historian Lewis Thomas describes the Conservative platform as being "defensive", lacking initiative of the liberal platform and seeming almost non-partisan in nature.


1905 Alberta general election, Campaign, Conservative
The personality and character of Conservative leader Bennett became one of the central issues of the campaign. Liberal newspaper Edmonton Bulletin pointed out Bennett's employment as a solicitor for the Canadian Pacific Railway, Bell Telephone Company and Calgary Water Power Company were used to illuminate a "corporation connection" with Bennett and the Conservative party. Similar concerns were raised by the conservative leaning Calgary Herald prior to Bennett's confirmation as leader. Historian Lewis Thomas describes the Liberal strategy to connect Bennett to the Canadian Pacific Railway as successful, noting many in Alberta resented the corporation for a myriad of reasons. Bennett did receive a surprising endorsement from Bob Edwards the publisher of the Calgary Eye-Opener, who had previously published stories critical of Bennett and his employer, the Canadian Pacific Railway. Although Edwards contended that Bennett was a poor leader who sought "non-entities and spineless nincompoops as followers".

The Edmonton Bulletin also ran a number of stories alleging corruption in the Conservative Party. The Bulletin accused the Calgary Conservative organizer William L. Walsh of attempting to bribe Daniel Maloney to run as a candidate in the St. Albert constituency.


1905 Alberta general election, Election, Electoral boundaries
The boundaries of the electoral districts for the first Alberta general election were prescribed in the Alberta Act (Canada) and were a source of controversy with accusations of gerrymandering in favour of the Liberal Party and northern Alberta. Calgary based newspapers the Calgary Herald, Calgary Albertan, and Eye-Opener made claims that the borders constituted preferential treatment for Edmonton and northern Alberta. Prime Minister Laurier had received assurances that the distribution was fair from Alberta Members of Parliament Talbot and Oliver, but when word of Calgary's opposition reached Ottawa, Laurier summoned Talbot to explain the situation.


1905 Alberta general election, Election, Electoral boundaries
On May 19, 1905, Talbot spent the morning convincing Laurier that the distribution was fair, Laurier agreed, but remained cautious and asked that the boundaries be submitted to a commission of judges for review. Laurier called a second meeting with Talbot on May 28 after receiving correspondence from Calgary Liberals, but was once again put at ease with Talbot's explanation, and the concept of the judicial commission for review was likewise put to rest.


1905 Alberta general election, Election, Electoral boundaries
Conservative Member of Parliament for Calgary Maitland Stewart McCarthy made no effort to advance Calgary and southern Alberta's claims for fair representation until June 20, 1905, much to late to make a difference. In the two hour speech, McCarthy called for 15 seats in southern Alberta and 10 in northern Alberta, and demanded a judicial commission to oversee the boundaries. However, McCarthy made no effort to participate in the early drafting process of the Alberta Act, instead hoping for an invitation to participate, one which never came from Oliver, the brunt of his efforts came too late in the drafting process.


1905 Alberta general election, Election, Electoral boundaries
The question of whether there was population based gerrymandering returns different responses. Historian Lewis Thomas notes the final layout favored northern Alberta with one additional district, despite Oliver and Talbot being aware that more than 1,000 more voters south of the Red Deer River participated in the 1904 Territorial election. Alexander Bruce Kilpatrick notes that the census results from 1906 shows that if the 38th township is chosen as the dividing line (City of Red Deer), there were 93,601 persons in northern Alberta and 87,381 in southern Alberta, with an additional 4,430 residing in the 38th township. Kilpatrick claims that people misconstrued where the population of the Strathcona census district lived, assuming most were south of the 38th Township, when a significant majority were in fact north of the township.


1905 Alberta general election, Election, Electoral boundaries
Kilpatrick however, describes the layout of the electoral districts as "blatant manipulation of the electoral map to suit a particular purpose". In particular Kilpatrick claims that Oliver designed the constituencies to maximize the influence of Edmonton, the borders did not align with the previous constituencies from the North-west Territories legislature, and instead was drawn to have several ridings touching the city's borders. At the same time, Calgary did not have the same advantages in design, and was reduced from two seats in the North-west Territories Legislature to one in the new Alberta Legislature.


1905 Alberta general election, Election, Voting and eligibility
Voter and candidate eligibility requirements remained in place under the rules set by the North-West Legislative Assembly under The Territories Elections Ordinance. The right to vote was provided to male British subjects who were 21 years of age or older, and had resided in the North-West Territories for at least 12 months, and the electoral district for the three months prior to the vote. The vote took place on November 9, 1905 with polls open between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m..


1905 Alberta general election, Election, Voting and eligibility
In 1905 Albertans would vote by marking an "X" on a blank sheet of paper using a coloured pencil which corresponded to candidate whom they wished to vote for, red for Liberal and blue for Conservative. Scrutineers were able to contest the eligibility of a person voting, the voter would then be required to fill out a form with their information which would be deposited in an envelope along with their ballot. The voter would then be required to return within two days to contest the objection to a Justice of the Peace.

The election in 1905 was a bitter one, especially in Calgary and Southern Alberta where the Liberals were accused of vote tampering and interfering with Conservative voters. Recounts especially in Calgary took almost a month and saw the result swing back and forth. The scandal led to the arrest of some key Liberal organizers, including William Henry Cushing's campaign manager, who had been a returning officer at a Calgary polling station. A liberal organizer was convicted of bribery for paying a voter $10 not to defend his ballot which was challenged during the count. The Calgary contest was eventually called for Cushing with a margin of 37 votes.


1905 Alberta general election, Election, Irregularities, Peace River
The Peace River electoral district was contested between Liberal James Cornwall and Independent Lucien Dubuc. Dubec received the greater number of votes, but the election results were overturned by the Executive Council in mid-January due to significant irregularities, leaving the seat vacant. A new election was held on February 15, 1906. An appeal was launched into the legality of Cabinet deciding on the legitimacy of an election, which was upheld when Judge David Lynch Scott found the court had no jurisdiction unless delegated by the legislature.

Thomas Brick declared his candidacy in the new election for the Liberals after being asked to run by a large group of people who appeared at his homestead. He faced James Cornwall who attempted to re-win his seat and he also ran under the Liberal banner. The runner up candidate from the original 1905 election Conservative candidate Lucien Dubuc did not run again leaving a rare two-way race under the same party banner. Thomas Brick would go on to defeat James Cornwall in a landslide.


1905 Alberta general election, Aftermath
The Liberal Party under Premier Rutherford dominated the election, capturing 22 of the 25 available seats in a landslide victory, while Bennett's Conservative Party captured a mere two seats and Bennett himself was not successful in Calgary. The Liberals were confident that they would form a majority government prior to the election, but had not expected so many seats. Liberal MP Talbot estimated the Liberals would capture 18 seats. The Conservatives did not expect the defeat, being successful in nominating candidates in 22 of the 25 ridings and have entrenched support in southern Alberta.


1905 Alberta general election, Aftermath
The conservatives attributed their defeat to the Roman Catholic vote which was felt to be sympathetic to Laurier for his support of separate schools, with Bennett himself attributing his loss in Calgary to Roman Catholic influences, labour vote and his time traveling outside of the district. Bennett quickly resigned his position as leader and temporarily retired from politics. Conservatives also attributed the loss to non-Anglo-Saxon voters. However, the Conservative victories by Cornelius Hiebert in Rosebud, and Albert Robertson in High River went against this trend. Hiebert, a Russian-born Mennonite, won in his constituency, while Robertson was aided by a third candidate syphoning votes from the incumbent Liberal opponent.


1905 Alberta general election, Aftermath
Historian Lewis Thomas argues the Liberal landslide was due to the incumbent position of the Liberal government which in its two months had not been tested with scandal or policy, making it difficult for effective opposition and criticism, all the while being able to maintain all the powers of patronage an incumbent would have. The Liberals effectively exercised the machinery of government from both the provincial and federal level, with Thomas noting a few surviving written suggestions for Liberal appointments. Furthermore, Thomas argues the strong positions taken by the Conservative Party on provincial right to control the school system and public lands did not make a significant impression on voters.

1905 Ambartsumian
1905 Ambartsumian, provisional designation 1972 JZ, is an asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 8 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 14 May 1972, by Russian astronomer Tamara Smirnova at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, Nauchnyj, on the Crimean peninsula. The asteroid was named after theoretical astrophysicist Victor Ambartsumian.


1905 Ambartsumian, Orbit and classification
Ambartsumian orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.9–2.6 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,211 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.16 and an inclination of 3° with respect to the ecliptic. It was first identified as 1932 FC at Simeiz Observatory in 1932, extending the body's observation arc by 40 years prior to its official discovery observation.


1905 Ambartsumian, Physical characteristics
According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Ambartsumian measures 8.0 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.23. When using a generic diameter-to-magnitude conversion, it has a diameter of 7–17 kilometers, based on an absolute magnitude of 12.8 and an albedo in the range of 0.05–0.25, which accounts for both the brighter stony as well as for the darker carbonaceous spectral types. As of 2017, Ambartsumian's composition, rotation period and shape remain unknown.


1905 Ambartsumian, Naming
This minor planet was named after Soviet–Armenian theoretical astrophysicist Victor Ambartsumian (1908–1996), founder of the Soviet School for Astrophysics, president of the Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR, director of the Byurakan Observatory, and president of the IAU (1961–1964). The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 February 1976 (M.P.C. 3937).


1905 American Medical football team
The 1905 American Medical football team was an American football team that represented the American College of Medicine and Surgery of Chicago, now a part of Loyola University of Chicago in the 1905 college football season. It is likely that American Medical played more contests, but no more against major college teams. In their single known major collegiate contest, American Medical suffered one of the most lopsided defeats in the history of college football, a 0–142 count against Notre Dame. This was the last year American Medical fielded a football team.


1905 Appleby by-election
The Appleby by-election was a Parliamentary by-election. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP)  to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post voting system.


1905 Appleby by-election, Vacancy and electoral history
Richard Rigg had been Liberal MP for the seat of Appleby since the 1900 general election. Rigg aged only 23, had a large majority of 11.4%. This was a surprise, since Appleby had previously returned only Conservatives since 1885. Rigg resigned from the Liberal party on 25 November 1904 because he found himself in agreement with the Conservative government on so many key issues. The result at the last election was as follows:


1905 Appleby by-election, Candidates
When Rigg announced his resignation from the Liberal Party he also announced his intention to resign his seat and seek re-election as a Conservative. However, the local Conservative Association had already selected 46-year-old Major George Noble as their candidate to re-gain the seat at the next general election. Noble was the heir to his father's baronetcy. He had been educated at Harrow School and Sandhurst Military Academy. He was in the 13th Hussars, fought at Lucknow and served in the South African War being invalided home in 1901.


1905 Appleby by-election, Candidates
Noble was not willing to stand down and allow Rigg a straight fight against a new Liberal candidate. Rigg thus found himself in a difficult situation. The Conservatives had already chosen a candidate and the Liberals were selecting his replacement. Faced with this dilemma, he decided not to resign his seat but to go abroad. He claimed that the “ruffianism” of Liberals angry at his defection of the party had made him ill, and he went to an unnamed continental health resort to recover.


1905 Appleby by-election, Candidates
On 14 December 1904, the local Liberal Association selected 42-year-old Leif Jones as their new candidate to hold the seat. Born Leifchild Stratten Jones on 16 January 1862 in St Pancras, London, the fifth of the six children of the Reverend Thomas Jones (1819–1882), an Independent clergyman, formerly of Morriston, Swansea, and Jane Jones, daughter of John Jones of Dowlais. His older siblings were David Brynmor (b. 1851), Annie, John Viriamu (b. 1862) and Irvonwy; his younger brother was Morlais Glasfryn. His brothers David Brynmor Jones and John Viriamu Jones would both achieve prominence in public life.


1905 Appleby by-election, Candidates
In 1867, when Leifchild was five years old, his mother died, and in 1869 his father left London, for health reasons, moving firstly back to Swansea (1870–1877) and afterwards to Melbourne, Australia (1877–1880), where Leifchild was educated at Scotch School. Afterwards Leifchild became a student at Trinity College, Oxford. He was Private Secretary to the Countess of Carlisle, a prominent prohibitionist campaigner. As a temperance campaigner Leif Jones was sometimes referred to as 'Tea-leaf Jones'. He was an experienced candidate having previously fought Westminster in 1892, Leeds Central in 1895 and Manchester South in 1900. He started to work the constituency even though Rigg had yet to resign from parliament.


1905 Appleby by-election, Candidates
Rigg returned to England in February 1905, and resigned his seat on 11 February 1905 by becoming Steward of the Manor of Northstead. He told the Annual Dinner of the Carlisle Conservative Club "I am proud to be one of you now ... I have the satisfaction of feeling that what I have done was conscientious and right." He had also decided not to contest the subsequent by-election.


1905 Appleby by-election, Campaign
Polling Day was fixed for 2 March 1905, just 19 days after Rigg's resignation. The weather during the campaign saw rain and snow. Jones launched his campaign by condemning the Chinese Labour Act, the Education Act 1902 and Joseph Chamberlain's fiscal proposals. The main national issue at the time was the decision of the Unionist Government to abandon free trade to advocate the introduction of tariff reform. Noble launched his campaign by not fully endorsing Chamberlain's tariff reform programme, stating he was opposed to any fiscal scheme that would raise the price of food.


1905 Appleby by-election, Result
Even though women did not have the vote, disappointed Tories blamed them for their defeat. “There can be no shadow of doubt,” declared Josceline Bagot, Conservative MP for neighbouring Kendal, “that Major Noble’s defeat was caused by the efforts of wives who feared the introduction of protection.” A month after the by-election, Noble wrote to Appleby Conservatives that “his health had failed” and his doctors had sent him on vacation to Gibraltar and Tangier.


1905 Appleby by-election, Aftermath
In October 1905 Noble had made the long-expected announcement that he would not stand, blaming “my own shortcomings as a candidate”. The Conservatives chose a new candidate but Jones clung on to the set by just 3 votes:


1905 Argentine Primera División
The 1905 Argentine Primera División was the 14th season of top-flight football in Argentina. The season began on May 7 and ended on September 24 The 1905 championship was expanded to include 7 teams, who played in a league format, with each team playing the other twice.


1905 Argentine Primera División
Alumni was the champion, winning its 5th league title in six seasons. The squad won the tournament after a 1-1 draw v. Estudiantes de Buenos Aires, one fixture before the end of the season. The line-up for that match was: José Buruca Laforia; Carlos Carr Brown, Jorge Gibson Brown; Andrés Mack, Patricio Barron Browne, Ernesto Brown; Gottlob Eduardo Weiss, Juan J. Moore, Alfredo Brown, Eliseo Brown, Eugenio Moore.

1905 Arizona football team
The 1905 Arizona football team was an American football team that represented the University of Arizona as an independent during the 1905 college football season. In its first and only season under head coach William M. Ruthrauff, the team compiled a 4–2 record and shut out its first four opponents, but were then outscored by two California colleges, 96 to 5. The team captain was John M. Ruthrauff. The team was declared the Arizona Territory champion.


1905 Arkansas Cardinals football team
The 1905 Arkansas Cardinals football team represented the University of Arkansas during the 1905 college football season. In their second and final season under head coach Ancil D. Brown, the Razorbacks compiled a 2–6 record and were outscored by their opponents by a combined total of 50 to 32.


1905 Arkansas Cardinals football team
At the outset, the University of Arkansas being known as the "Arkansas Cardinals" is in all likelihood a misnomer. The "cardinal" referred to the color cardinal and not the red bird. Moreover, as early as the first game of the 1905 season, news media reports specifically refer to the University of Arkansas football team as the "Razorbacks", pre-dating the University of Arkansas' official statement regarding how the University of Arkansas became the Razorbacks.


1905 Army Cadets football team
The 1905 Army Cadets football team represented the United States Military Academy in the 1905 college football season. In their second and final season under head coach Robert Boyers, the Cadets compiled a 4–4–1 record, shut out three opponents, and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 104 to 60.


1905 Army Cadets football team
Army's losses were to Virginia Tech, Harvard, Yale, and the Carlisle Indians. In the annual Army–Navy Game, the Cadets and Midshipmen tied at six. Halfback Henry Torney was honored as a consensus first-team player on the All-America team.

1905 Atlantic hurricane season
The 1905 Atlantic hurricane season featured five known tropical cyclones, two of which made landfall in the United States. The first system was initially observed near the Windward Islands on September 6. The last system to dissipate, the fourth storm, transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on October 11, while located well southeast of Newfoundland. These dates fall within the period with the most tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic. Between October 5 and October 10, the fourth and fifth system existed simultaneously.


1905 Atlantic hurricane season
Of the season's five tropical cyclones, only one reached hurricane status, the fewest since 1890. Furthermore, that storm strengthened into major hurricane, which is Category 3 or higher on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. This storm, which was the fourth and strongest hurricane of the season, peaked at Category 3 strength with 120 mph (195 km/h) winds. It was also attributed to at least six fatalities after sending a rogue wave across the steerage of the steamer Campania. The first storm also resulted in two deaths after a schooner wrecked in Barbados.


1905 Atlantic hurricane season
The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 28, the lowest value since 1864. ACE is a metric used to express the energy used by a tropical cyclone during its lifetime. Therefore, a storm with a longer duration will have high values of ACE. It is only calculated at six-hour increments in which specific tropical and subtropical systems are either at or above sustained wind speeds of 39 mph (63 km/h), which is the threshold for tropical storm intensity. Thus, tropical depressions are not included here.


1905 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm One
The first storm of the season, already at tropical storm intensity, was identified on September 6 to the east of Grenada. A small storm, it quickly passed through the southern Lesser Antilles early on September 7. The next day, the storm weakened to a tropical depression before dissipating as a shallow but large system. A schooner sailing from Bridgetown to Suriname encountered heavy seas just a day out of port and turned back. It was thrown onto the pierhead and wrecked. The captain and a crewman were swept overboard and drowned.


1905 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Two
HURDAT indicates that a tropical storm originated to the northeast of the Windward Islands on September 11. Steadily tracking towards the west-northwest, the storm gradually intensified, reaching its peak intensity with winds estimated at 60 mph (95 km/h) on September 13. After turning northwestward, the system slowed and began to weaken. By September 16, the storm weakened to a tropical depression and dissipated shortly thereafter.


1905 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Three
Based on weather reports from the Weather Bureau Office in New Orleans, Louisiana, a tropical storm was first observed about 20 miles (30 km) north-northwest of Swan Island on September 24. The storm strengthened slightly before making landfall near Punta Allen, Quintana Roo around 1200 UTC on September 25. Early on the following day, the system emerged into the Gulf of Mexico and headed north-northwestward. At midday on September 26, it peaked with sustained winds of 50 mph (80 km/h). The storm re-curved north-northeastward late on September 28, while approaching the Gulf Coast of the United States.


1905 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Three
At 1000 UTC the next day, this system made landfall in extreme southwest Vermilion Parish, Louisiana at the same intensity. The storm slowly weakened inland and dissipated over Arkansas on September 30. Strong winds and rough seas were reported along the central Gulf Coast of the United States, forcing ships to remain in port.


1905 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Four
On October 1, a tropical depression developed in the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Moving slowly north-northeastward, it reached tropical storm status early on October 3. The following day, the storm curved northeastward. Kingston, Jamaica recorded rainfall as the system bypassed the island. Late on October 5 and early on October 6, the storm passed through the Windward Passage. Eastern Cuba was affected "with some force", but damage was not significant. Entering the Atlantic Ocean, the system passed through the southeastern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands without causing damage. While centered about halfway between Bermuda and Turks and Caicos Islands, the storm strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale.


1905 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Four
Later on October 8, it deepened to a Category 2 hurricane, while passing south of Bermuda. The island experienced gale-force winds with gusts reaching hurricane force, but damage was apparently minimal. Early on October 9, the storm intensified into a Category 3 hurricane and peaked with winds of 120 mph (195 km/h). On October 10, it weakened to a Category 2 and then became extratropical early the next day. The steamer Campania encountered the remnants of the storm and was reported to have been struck by a large rogue wave, which was described as "disastrous." The ship roll and water moved across the steerage, sweeping five passengers into the ocean, they presumably drowned. At least 30 other people were injured, one of them fatally. The extratropical remnants dissipated over the Labrador Sea on October 13.


1905 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Five
A tropical storm was first observed in the Gulf of Mexico on October 5, while located about 105 miles (170 km) north of the Yucatán Peninsula. The storm strengthened slowly while crossing the Gulf of Mexico and peaked with sustained winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) early on October 8. At 1700 UTC on the following day, it made landfall near Morgan City, Louisiana at the same intensity. The system quickly weakened inland and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone over Mississippi on October 10. The extratropical remnants dissipated over Virginia on October 11. The remnants of this storm brought heavy rains to the Eastern United States and Atlantic Canada.

1905 Barcelona City Council election
The 1905 Barcelona City Council election was held on Sunday, 12 November 1905, to elect half of the Barcelona City Council. 26 out of 50 seats were up for election (1 was a vacant seat).


1905 Barcelona City Council election, Electoral system
The number of seats of each council was determined by the population count, according to the 1877 Municipal Law. As Barcelona had more than 200,000 inhabitants, the number of seats composing the city council was 50. The municipal law also established that half of the seats had to be renewed every two years. Therefore, in these elections 25 seats had to be renewed. Additionally, any vacant seat would also be renewed. The municipality was divided in 10 multi-member constituencies, corresponding to the city districts. Seats were elected using limited partial block voting. Candidates winning a plurality in each constituency were elected. In districts electing. Voting was on the basis of universal manhood suffrage, which comprised all national males over twenty-five, having at least a two-year residency in a municipality and in full enjoyment of their civil rights.

The Municipal Law allowed the King of Spain to elect directly the Mayor of Barcelona.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election
The Barkston Ash by-election, 1905 was a parliamentary by-election held for the British House of Commons constituency of Barkston Ash, then in the West Riding of Yorkshire, on 13 October 1905.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Vacancy
The by-election was caused by the death, on 18 September 1905, of the sitting Conservative MP Sir Robert Gunter. Gunter had been seriously ill with neuritis and phlebitis since June 1905 and had been unconscious for several days before his death.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Electoral history
Barkston Ash was a safe Tory seat. It  had been represented by Gunter since it was created in 1885. Gunter had been unopposed at the 1900 general election and also in 1895. The last contest had come in 1892, with Gunter winning easily;


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Candidates, Conservatives
Because of ill health, Gunter had told his local party in 1903, that he would be standing down as MP. They had then selected 35 year old George Lane-Fox, an Eton and Oxford educated barrister and a member of the West Riding County Council to be their candidate.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Candidates, Liberals
The Liberals had already selected 32 year old  Joseph Andrews, a barrister from Leeds to fight the next general election. They adopted Andrews as their by-election candidate.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Candidates, Other
There was speculation that an Independent candidate, Henry Liversidge, would also stand. Earlier in 1905 he announced an intention to contest the next election as a Lib-Lab candidate, but on the platform of tariff reform. It was subsequently reported that no Tariff Reform League or other candidate would be standing specifically on that issue.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Campaign
The political tide seemed to be flowing against the Tory government of Arthur Balfour. In 1903 they had lost five seats in by-elections, in 1904 another seven and six seats had been gained by the Liberals in by-elections so far in 1905.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Campaign, Tariff Reform
Although no tariff candidate entered the field, the issue of protectionism was one of the great issues of the day. Whereas the question of Irish Home Rule had dominated political debate in earlier elections, the ‘dumping’ of foreign goods on British markets and the struggle between tariff reformers and free traders was now seen as a prime election battleground.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Campaign, Tariff Reform
The Free Trade Union, founded in 1903 to safeguard the free import of food and raw materials and oppose the policy of protection as a barrier to good relations within the British Empire had acquired a reputation for intelligent and effective electioneering on behalf of Liberal candidates and had moved some key organisers into the Barkston Ash constituency to offer support to Andrews and to campaign and produce literature and posters for him. The Liberals played the Free Trade card for all it was worth.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Campaign, Agricultural labour
There was a strong mining community in the south of the constituency which traditionally supported the Liberals and a substantial suburban house-holder vote spreading out from Leeds, which together with the farmers and landowners could usually be relied upon to vote Conservative. This meant the agricultural labourers held the key to the result. Both candidates courted the votes of the rural worker, Andrews emphasising the value of Free Trade in keeping food prices cheap whereas Lane-Fox appealed to the traditional conservatism of rural people.

Both candidates also, despite denials were keen to attract votes from the sizeable Roman Catholic minority in the area. The Liberals denounced the Education Act 1902 and hoped for Catholic voters to be sympathetic to Irish Home Rule in support of their co-religionists in Ireland although as the campaign wore on they became vulnerable to attack on the administration of the Education Act by the Liberal controlled West Riding County Council. The Tories looked to the well-established local Catholic community to remain true to their family traditions and support the Conservative establishment.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Campaign, Foreign affairs
Government policy abroad gave the Liberals little to campaign on. There was a distinct strain of English patriotism in the Yorkshire character and the area had provided strong support over the fighting of the Boer War. The only area left to exploit was the introduction of Chinese labour into South Africa gold mining operations and the allegation that so-called coolies were being forced to work under conditions no better than those of slaves.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Result
The result of the by-election was announced the following day in front of the Selby Museum. The Liberals gained Barkston Ash from the Conservatives by a majority of 228 votes.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Result
Irish Nationalist MP T. P. O'Connor called the election "a victory for Ireland" because "of the firmness with which (voters) refused to Abandon Ireland" and "have buried the infamous attempt to weaken Ireland by a Redistribution Bill." It was another indication of how the electorate across the country, even in such a traditional Tory constituency, had grown tired of the Conservative government which had been in office for ten years.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Result
It was this swing of the pendulum, rather than the specific policy issues or personalities of the candidates, which was responsible for the Liberal victory – although the question of tariff reform was clearly an influential element in the result and the campaigning efforts of the Free Trade Union played their part in stimulating the electorate and getting them to the polls in greater numbers than their opponents.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Aftermath
Despite the 1906 Liberal landslide Lane-Fox was returned to parliament three months later and the constituency remained in Tory hands thereafter.


1905 Barkston Ash by-election, Aftermath
As the Commons were not sitting at the time of the by-election, Andrews was one of the few people in history to be elected to parliament but never to take their seat.

In that twenty-minute first half, each team's defense held the other's offense scoreless. The game began with TCU receiving the kickoff and advanced from their 20-yard line to Baylor's 15 when the latter recovered a fumble. Baylor's own drive advanced to TCU's 40-yard line, but likewise fumbled.

1905 Bolnai earthquake
The 1905 Bolnai earthquake occurred in or near the Asgat Sum of Zavkhan Province in Mongolia on 23 July. The earthquake has been estimated at 8.25 to 8.4 on the moment magnitude scale.


1905 Bolnai earthquake, Background
The Bolnai earthquake is believed to be a strike-slip rupture of a branch of the Bolnai Fault, extending about 300 to 375 km along the fault, and possibly an additional 80 km of the Teregtiin Fault. The fault displacement during the earthquake was greater than 6 m, and possibly as much as 11 m, and the duration is estimated at about two minutes.


1905 Bolnai earthquake, Background
The Bolnai earthquake was preceded in two weeks by the Tsetserleg earthquake, and is considered a part of the same general crustal movement.


1905 Bolnai earthquake, Damage
There are few records of the immediate effects of the earthquake due to the remoteness of Mongolia in 1905. However, rockslides were reported in the nearby mountains, and supposedly "two lakes, each of eight acres in size, disappeared".


1905 Bolnai earthquake, Popular Culture
Lasting damage of the earthquake can be seen in the Mongolia special of the Amazon Prime motoring show The Grand Tour.

1905 Buteshire by-election
The Buteshire by-election, 1905 was a by-election held on 3 March 1905 for the British House of Commons constituency of Buteshire.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Vacancy
The election was triggered by the resignation of the sitting Conservative MP, Andrew Murray. Murray held the post of Secretary of State for Scotland with a seat in the Cabinet. In January 1905, Murray was appointed Lord Justice General and Lord President of the Court of Session and was given a seat in the House of Lords. At the previous General Election, he had withstood the Liberal challenge:


1905 Buteshire by-election, Candidates, Unionists
The Conservative Party selected Edward Theodore Salvesen, the Solicitor General for Scotland, as their candidate. Salvesen had fought the Leith Burghs seat as a Unionist at the general election of 1900.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Candidates, Liberals
The Liberals re-selected their candidate from the 1900 general election Norman Lamont. Lamont came from a prominent and wealthy local family with lands in Argyll and a plantation in Trinidad. His father had been Liberal MP for Buteshire from 1865–1868.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Candidates, Tariff Reform candidate
It was reported that at one time it looked likely there would be a three-cornered contest. A Mr. Sinclair, a convinced tariff reformer had issued an address to the electors as soon it had become known there was a Parliamentary vacancy. However Sinclair decided not to stand. It soon became clear that his supporters were content with the selection of Salvesen by the Tories as he was a member of the Tariff Reform League and had stated that if necessary he would be prepared to see the policy of Joseph Chamberlain on Imperial Preference adopted in full measure.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Issues, Tariff Reform
Salvesen took advantage of his position as a Tariff Reformer to consolidate his support among the Unionist voters. A significant number of Buteshire electors were middle-class merchants and others doing business in Glasgow but who had villa residences in towns in the constituency like Rothesay and Millport and good number were Unionist supporters who were generally favourable to tariff reform.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Issues, Tariff Reform
Conservative efforts to win the election was particularly focused on these voters as it was felt that apathy in this key part of the electorate had been responsible for the narrowness of Graham's win over Lamont at the 1900 general election. Lamont campaigned as a traditional Liberal free trader, although he was challenged on his previous support for a form of retaliatory duty to protect West Indian sugar producers from unfair foreign competition, which policy he now renounced.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Issues, Chinese labour
After the Boer War the government of Arthur Balfour had agreed to let the owners of the South African gold mines bring in thousands of indentured labourers of Chinese ethnicity to work in the mines. They lived under harsh conditions, in compounds they were not allowed to leave, worked long hours for little reward and were subject to corporal punishment.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Issues, Chinese labour
The issue was taken up by the Liberal Party under the slogan of 'Chinese slavery' both as a crusade for humanitarianism but also to exploit fear amongst British workers that the Conservative government might allow similar immigration to Britain, threatening British jobs. The issue was raised in Buteshire but was given an added salience because it was alleged against Lamont that the Coolie labour (as it was referred to in Edwardian times) on his West Indian property were similarly indentured and that it was hypocritical of him to object to the practice in the Transvaal.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Issues, Chinese labour
Lamont was able to deflect this attack by showing he had removed the indenture system when he succeeded to the property and that the workers were now retained in an arrangement akin to being tenant farmers. His supporters also made political capital from the fact that Lamont had been the subject of what they chose to characterise as an unwarranted and brutal assault.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Issues, Home Rule
The question of Irish Home Rule was an ever-present in the election. The letter of support which Balfour sent to Salvesen for publication highlighted the difference between the parties on this issue. Lamont seemed to think Balfour's intervention on Home Rule strengthened the Liberal vote however. He was said to have received the votes of the Irish catholic electors, who numbered around 200.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Issues, Other issues
Apart from the specific points of conflict mentioned above, the by-election was fought principally on the basis of the government candidate defending the government record and the opposition candidate promoting the need for change.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Result
The result of the by-election was a gain for the Liberals, albeit by a narrow margin. Lamont turned a Unionist majority of 195 at the previous general election into a Liberal majority of 34.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Result
In this context Lamont's collection of the Irish vote seems particularly significant and perhaps the resolve of this constituency to come out and vote on the issue of Home Rule was stiffened by Balfour's focussing on it in his letter of support to Salvesen. However, Salvesen stated after the election that the Unionist vote had polled at its full strength and Buteshire should be seen in the context of the general political trend of the time which since 1902 had been decidedly against the government. Buteshire was the fifteenth by-election gain by the Liberals from the Conservatives since 1902.


1905 Buteshire by-election, Result
The government, which had been in office since 1895, was widely seen as tired and divided and the Liberal opposition was united around key policies on free trade and education, as well as being sustained by a new approach to questions of social reform, the New Liberalism of thinkers such as Thomas Hill Green, Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse and J A Hobson as well as by dynamic, radical politicians such as David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill who had defected from the Tories in 1904.


1905 CAHL season

1905 CAHL season, Regular season, Highlights
