- Richard_Craig abstract "Richard W. Craig (August 26, 1877 – July 16, 1966) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1922 to 1927, and was a cabinet minister in the government of John Bracken.Craig was born in Underwood, Ontario, and was educated in Port Elgin and Winnipeg. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1897 and an LL.B. degree in 1904. Craig was called to the Manitoba bar the following year. He worked as a barrister-at-law, and was appointed to the bench of the Law Society of Manitoba in 1916. From 1912 to 1916, he was Crown Prosecutor for the city of Winnipeg. In 1916, he was named King's Counsel. Craig also served as chair of the Winnipeg School Board, the Social Service Council of Canada, and the Winnipeg Canadian Club. He married Marguerite Maud Hogg.Craig was initially Conservative, and endorsed the Manitoba Conservative Party in the 1915 election on the grounds that it was more supportive of higher education than was the Manitoba Liberal Party. He later left the Conservatives, and was elected to Manitoba's legislature in the 1922 provincial election as a candidate of the newly formed Progressive Association in Winnipeg. During this period, Winnipeg elected ten members via a single transferable ballot. Despite finishing twelfth on first preferences and trailing for much of the counting process, he was declared elected for the city's tenth and final position on the last count. Craig was the only member of the Progressive Association elected in the city.Winnipeg's Progressive Association was aligned with the United Farmers of Manitoba (UFM), which swept the rural constituencies to emerge as the largest party in the legislature. The UFM and Progressive Association formed government after the election as the Progressive Party of Manitoba; as the government's only Winnipeg representative, Craig was assured of a cabinet position. He was appointed as the province's Attorney General on August 8, 1922.Craig emerged as Premier John Bracken's most trusted confidante during the parliament which followed, and became known as the government's strongest voice in the legislature. Like the premier, Craig believed that Manitoba should be governed in a non-partisan, efficient and businesslike manner. On January 12, 1925, he was given a secondary portfolio of Minister of Telephones and Telegraphs.Although a successful minister, Craig chose to retire from the legislature after only a single term. He resumed his practice as a lawyer, and provided legal services for Bracken's ministry in 1929.He died in Victoria, British Columbia at the age of 88.".
