1924 Toronto municipal election
Mayor Charles A. Maguire chose to retire before the election. Three well-known candidates tried to become the new mayor. Tommy Church had served as mayor from 1915 to 1921 Wesley Hiltz was chairperson of the Toronto Board of Education. Controller Joseph Singer had been nominated as a candidate for mayor but decided to withdraw in order not to divide the anti-Tommy Church vote. Col. John Allister Currie was a leader of Canadian forces during the Boer War and a sitting Conservative Party MPP. Hiltz was victorious by a large number of votes.
