No, UFA was a lobby group founded in 1909. They became political in 1919, and after winning a provincial and a federal by-election in 1919 and 1921 respectively, decided to run in the 1921 provincial election. They were so disorganized, however, that they didn't even have a leader.

The Liberals must have really pissed off the populace for that to have happened.
