After graduating from Waterloo College, Alles moved to Windsor, Ontario where he found work with Ford.<ref>https://scholars.wlu.ca/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1065&context=thecord</ref> He was elected as the MPP for Essex North representing the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (Ontario Section). In late 1944, he and fellow CCF MPP Leslie Hancock endorsed a proposal by A. A. MacLeod, leader of the Communist Labor-Progressive Party for a coalition between the LPP, the Liberals and the CCF to oust the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party government of George A. Drew. Hancock and Alles left the CCF caucus to sit as Independent Labour MPPs after CCF party leader Ted Jolliffe rejected the LPP proposal. Alles did not run in the 1945 Ontario general election.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hinds |first1=Frank |title=This Week |url=https://ja.haldimandcounty.on.ca/1940s/1945/1945_March/1945_03_15_p08.pdf |access-date=September 25, 2023 |work=The Jarvis Record, pg 1 |date=March 22, 1945}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Muldoon |first1=Donald William |title=Capitalism Unchallenged: A Sketch of Canadian Communism, 1939-1945 |url=https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/56367012.pdf |website=CORE |access-date=September 25, 2023}}</ref>
