He was defeated by Labor candidate Angus James Morrison in another hotly contested election in vote transfers. After his defeat Unwin did not return to provincial politics.

Famous quotes containing the word defeat:
“The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him,—not even to consent to it; but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“And, “Better defeat almost,
If seen clear,
Than life’s victories of doubt
That need endless talk-talk
To make them out.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Victory has a hundred fathers but defeat is an orphan.”
—Galeazzo Ciano (1903–1944)
