The Newfoundland People’s Party was a political party in the Dominion of Newfoundland before it joined Canada. The party was created by Attorney-General Edward Patrick Morris in 1907 when he split from the ruling Liberal Party to found his own political vehicle. The party tied with the Liberals in the 1908 election but when no party was able to form a government new elections were held which the People’s Party won with 26 seats to 10 for the Liberals.
