26th General Election: 2 May 1923
Party composition: Liberal Reform 23, Liberal-Labour-Progressive 13. Total Assembly membership 36.
In this Assembly term leading Minister’s were attacked for corruption by a resigning colleague. Squires’ reputation seemed to have been destroyed. William Warren became a Liberal Reform Prime Minister in July 1923. Albert Hickman took over immediately before the 1924 election.
Before the next election the Liberal-Reform Party collapsed. Some of its members joined with Albert Hickman as the Liberal-Progressive Party. William Warren was associated with Tories in forming a replacement for the Liberal-Labour-Progressive Party which was named the Liberal-Conservative-Progressive Party.
