1923 Toronto municipal election
Charles A. Maguire had been re-elected as mayor in 1922 without any opposition. The 1923 campaign's main issue was Sir Adam Beck's plan for an electrical radial railway (an system of streetcars running between towns and cities) along the Toronto's waterfront and into the neighbouring cities. Maguire was in favour of the controversial plan. His main opponent was R.J. Fleming who was against the plan. Fleming had previously been mayor several decades before. The radial plan was defeated in a referendum that happened at the same time as the election, but Maguire was re-elected mayor.
