1914 Toronto municipal election


Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1914. H.C. Hocken was reelected mayor defeating Fred McBrien. The election was also notable for the victory of Louis Singer, the first representative of Toronto's large Jewish community elected to city council.

Toronto mayor

Hocken had been mayor since 1912, as a founder of the Toronto Daily Star he was strongly supported by that newspaper and opposed by its rival the Toronto Telegram. In the 1914 election the Telegram supported Alderman McBrien, but Hocken won by a significant margin. Two other candidates ran, but received little support: Alderman Alfred Burgess and Birks.
