1904 Glebe state by-election

A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Glebe on 10 September 1904 because James Hogue had been appointed Chief Secretary in the Carruthers ministry.[1] Until 1907, members appointed to a ministerial position were required to face a by-election. These were generally uncontested. On this occasion a poll was required in Bingara (Samuel Moore), Glebe and Tenterfield (Charles Lee) and all were comfortably re-elected. The four other ministers, Joseph Carruthers (St George), James Ashton (Goulburn), Broughton O'Conor (Sherbrooke) and Charles Wade (Gordon), were re-elected unopposed.[2]

Vincent Taylor was considered a vexatious candidate.[3] He was a candidate at the 1901 election for Sydney-King, receiving 4 votes.[4] and the for the Belmore Ward of the Sydney City Council, receiving just 3 votes.[3]
