Sažetak
The territory of Varaždin Military border was united and joined with the civil Croatia by the king’s manifest of 8 June 1871. The newly established Bjelovar-Križevci county was split into administrative districts, which in turn were further divided into municipalities.
One of the new municipalities was Molve. Since then, certain political groups and their activities were felt more in the entire area, especially notable in the elections for Croatian parliament Sabor that followed. Voters from Molve went to Novigrad Podravski to cast their vote, which served as the county election seat at that time.
In the beginning of the 20th century, Molve’s part of Podravina witnessed political activities of Radić brothers. Numerous local assemblies and meetings resulted in forming of new chapters of their Croatian Peasants’ Party all over Podravina. In those days, Stjepan Radić kept visiting Molve, holding political rallies and meetings.
The 1908 election campaign saw fierce political clash between the opposing political followers of Stjepan Radić and Ivica Frank in Novigrad electorate. At the time, Croatian Peasants’ Party had most of the electors, who disrupted their opponents’ rallies. Eventually Radić won elections in the second round of voting, to the excitement of numerous peasants who celebrated his victory on Novigrad’s main square.
Until the World War One, Croatian Peasants’ Party and their candidate, Tomo Jalžabetić from Đurđevac, kept winning all further elections.
