A member of the Conservative Party, he was elected in the 1905 election. However, after only a few months in office he resigned to open a seat for Francis Cochrane, who had been appointed Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines in the government of James P. Whitney, to enter the legislature in a by-election.[3] Following his resignation from the legislature, he was appointed as registrar of deeds for the Nipissing District.[2]
He was sued in 1908 by Henry Draney, a mining prospector whose registration of a mining claim in Cobalt had been rejected.[4] Draney's lawsuit claimed that Lamarche had promised to make his resignation from the legislature conditional on the approval of Draney's claim.[4]
