==Early life and mayorships==
Stubbs was born in Warrnambool, Victoria, to Agnes (née Aitken) and William Alexander Stubbs. He worked as a schoolteacher for a time in the late 1870s before securing a position with John Danks & Son, a hardware company with which he was employed from 1879 to 1894, working variously as a clerk, travelling salesman, and engineer. Stubbs arrived in Western Australia in 1895, and with a partner established a hardware firm in Perth, Drake & Stubbs. The firm was eventually bought out by another hardware merchant, Alfred Sandover, in 1907.〔Black, David, and Bolton, Geoffrey (1990). ''(Biographical Register of Members of the Parliament of Western Australia: Volume One (1870–1930) )'', p. 189.〕 In 1901, Stubbs (a resident of the suburb of Claremont) was elected mayor of the Claremont Municipality unopposed, replacing Joseph Langsford. In 1903, it was initially reported that would contest the vacancy in the Legislative Council left by the death of Barrington Clarke Wood,〔("METROPOLITAN-SUBURBAN PROVINCE." ) – ''The Daily News'', 29 August 1903.〕 but he did not go on to nominate for the election.〔("METROPOLITAN-SUBURBAN ELECTION." ) – ''The Daily News'', 7 September 1903.〕
Opting not to contest the 1903 Claremont mayoral election,〔("THE MAYOR OF PERTH." ) – ''Kalgoorlie Miner'', 17 November 1905.〕 two years later Stubbs ran for Mayor of Perth against Thomas Molloy. On a then-record turnout of almost 8,000 voters, he polled 54.01 percent of the vote, replacing Harry Brown (who did not re-contest) as mayor.〔("MR. SYDNEY STUBBS ELECTED MAYOR." ) – ''The Western Mail'', 18 November 1905.〕 The following year, Stubbs was re-elected unopposed, the first mayor since Alexander Forrest in 1899 to be returned in that fashion.〔("THE RECENT MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS." ) – ''The West Australian'', 4 December 1906.〕 He left office in December 1907 without re-contesting, and was replaced by his previous opponent, Molloy.〔("PRESENTATION TO MR. SYDNEY STUBBS." ) – ''The Western Mail'', 7 December 1907.〕 However, Stubbs re-entered the public arena the following year, when he was elected unopposed to the Legislative Council's Metropolitan-Suburban Province, replacing the retiring Zebina Lane.〔("LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ELECTIONS." ) – ''The West Australian'', 14 May 1908.〕
