Hickman, a politician and businessman, served as Prime Minister of Newfoundland for 33 days in 1924 as leader of a Caretaker administration after the successive collapses of the Liberal Reform Party governments of Prime Minister s Sir Richard Squires and William Warren . The Governor asked Hickman to form an administration to govern the province when the government of William Warren was defeated in a Motion Of No Confidence . Hickman invited members of various former members of the ''Liberal Reform Party'' as well as members of other parties into his government which he called the ''Liberal-Progressive Party''. His new party was defeated in the June 9 election by former supporters of Warren who joined with the conservative opposition to form the ''Liberal-Conservative Progressive Party''. Hickman served as Leader Of The Opposition until he retired from politics in 1928 by which time his party had degenerated and a new ''Liberal Party'' had emerged led by Squires. EXTERNAL LINK
