Elliott Lewis, leader of the Ministerial group, entered the election as the incumbent Premier of Tasmania.[1] At the election, the group lost 10 seats and Lewis lost his seat. The Opposition led by William Propsting won government, meaning he became Premier of Tasmania.[2] The Workers' Political League (the future Australian Labor Party) fielded candidates for the first time, winning three seats. John Earle became leader of the parliamentary party in 1906.
