Hellyer, a farmer from Kenilworth,[2] was elected to the legislature in the 1919 election.[3] However, after just a few weeks in office he resigned his seat to allow cabinet minister William Raney to enter the legislature in a by-election.[1] In exchange, he was appointed to a special provincial commission on land title and civil service reform.[4]
