Malcolm Alexander MacLean : ウィキペディア英語版 | Malcolm Alexander MacLean
Malcolm Alexander MacLean (August 14, 1842 – April 4, 1895) was the first Mayor of Vancouver, British Columbia, serving from 1886 to 1887. ==Election== In the election on 3 May 1886, MacLean beat his opponent, sawmill manager Richard H. Alexander by just 17 votes. The favourite going into the election was Alexander, of Alexander Street fame. But a strike at Hastings Sawmill divided the community, particularly after Alexander announced he would hire Chinese workers to replace the white strikers. The strikers talked real estate salesman Malcolm MacLean into running in opposition. MacLean won in a squeaker, 242 votes to Alexander’s 225. Allegations at the time that the election had allowed for voting by at least 100 unqualified voters were confirmed decades later.〔Richard Mackie, (MacLean, Malcolm Alexander ), Dictionary of Canadian Biography〕
