Political career

Masson ran for a second term in office in the 1940 Alberta general election. He faced three other candidates, among them Albert Blue, a former Social Credit MLA whose district, Ribstone had been abolished after redistribution and who now ran under the banner of the Independent Progressive Association. Masson retained the seat in the third vote count.
Masson ran for a third term in office in the 1944 Alberta general election. He was returned on the first ballot with a very large majority over two other candidates.
