| 释义 |
Berry was born in Owen Sound, Ontario and came to the Manitou district with his parents as an infant. They later emigrated to North Dakota. In 1895, Berry settled on a homestead in the Umatilla district in the Grandview area. He married Hilda Longmuir in 1910. He worked as a farmer. Berry also served as a member of the Grandview town council.[2] He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1922 provincial election, as a candidate of the United Farmers of Manitoba (UFM) in the Gilbert Plains constituency.[1] The UFM unexpectedly won a majority of seats in this election, and formed government as the Progressive Party. Berry was re-elected by a secure majority in the 1927 election. In 1932, the Progressives formed an alliance with the Manitoba Liberal Party, and government members became known as "Liberal-Progressives". Berry was re-elected under this banner in the 1932 campaign,[1] defeating Conservative candidate H.A. Alley by 289 votes. He lost the nomination to G.D. Shortread in 1936.[2] Throughout his time in the legislature, Berry served as a backbench supporter of John Bracken's government. He died in the Winnipeg General Hospital after being ill for two weeks.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=https://www.gov.mb.ca/hansard/members/mla_bio_deceased.html#B0 |title=MLA Biographies - Deceased |work=Legislative Assembly of Manitoba |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140330155427/http://www.gov.mb.ca/hansard/members/mla_bio_deceased.html |archivedate=2014-03-30 }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Berry, Arthur Ritchie}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |url=http://manitobia.ca/content/en/newspapers/WPT/1943/07/26/articles/294.xml/iarchives |newspaper=Winnipeg Evening Tribune |date=July 26, 1943 |page=13 |title=Arthur R.
