| 词条 | Harry Graham (Manitoba politician) |
| 释义 |
The son of George Malcolm Graham and Margaret Leckie, he was educated at the University of Manitoba, and worked as a farmer after his graduation. Graham served as Vice-Chairman of the Russell District Hospital, and was also the President of the Progressive Conservative Association in the federal riding of Marquette. In 1951, he married Velma Louise Murdoch.[3] He first entered politics while helping a friend, Dr. Vern Rosnoski, who was a dentist, run for office. After Rosnoski couldn't find a dentist to take over his practice who could use left-handed tools, Graham ran in his place.[4] He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in a by-election on February 20, 1969, defeating Liberal Edward Shust in the riding of Birtle-Russell.[5] The riding had previously been held by the Liberals, and Graham's victory provided an impetus for Progressive Conservative Premier Walter Weir to call a general election later in the year. The Tories were defeated by the New Democratic Party in this election, and Graham nearly lost his own seat to NDP candidate Donald Kostesky. He was re-elected again by a slightly greater margin in the 1973 election, which the NDP also won.[2] The Progressive Conservatives returned to power in the 1977 election until Sterling Lyon, as Graham again narrowly increased his margin of victory in Birtle-Russell. He was not appointed to cabinet,[2] but rather served as the Speaker of the legislature from November 24, 1977 until 1981.[1] In 1980, Graham presided over the temporary expulsion from the legislature of Robert Wilson, who had been convicted of a criminal offence. Wilson was permanently expelled in 1981. Graham won the easiest re-election victory of his career in the election of 1981, running in the redistributed riding of Virden. Ironically, this occurred as the Progressive Conservatives lost government to the NDP. Graham served as an opposition member for the next five years, and did not seek re-election in 1986.[2] He died at Russell District Hospital after a lengthy illness.[6] Electoral record{{Manitoba provincial election, 1969/Electoral District/Birtle-Russell}}{{Manitoba provincial by-election, February 20, 1969/Electoral District/Birtle-Russell}}{{Speakers of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba}}References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Memorable Manitobans: Harry Edward Graham (1921-2006)|url=http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/graham_he.shtml|publisher=The Manitoba Historical Society|accessdate=30 October 2013}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Graham, Harry}}हॅरी ग्रॅहाम2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=https://www.gov.mb.ca/legislature/members/mla_bio_deceased.html#G0 |publisher=Legislative Assembly of Manitoba |title=MLA Biographies - Deceased |accessdate=2013-12-03}} 3. ^{{cite journal |url=http://www.revparl.ca/english/issue.asp?param=86&art=315 |title=CPA Activities: The Canadian Scene |journal=Canadian Parliamentary Review |volume=1 |issue=1 |date=June 1978 |accessdate=2013-12-11}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.gov.mb.ca/legislature/business/hansard/39th_2nd/vol_69b/h69b.html |title=Hansard |publisher=Legislative Assembly of Manitoba |date=September 16, 2008 |accessdate=2013-12-11 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407073801/http://www.gov.mb.ca/legislature/business/hansard/39th_2nd/vol_69b/h69b.html |archivedate=April 7, 2014 |df= }} 5. ^Graham defeated high-school teacher Harvey Smith and St. Lazare electrician Todd Dupont for the nomination.
