Maurice Duprey was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1920 to 1922.
Duprey lived in St. Elizabeth, Manitoba, where he worked as a farmer. He was elected to the legislature in the 1920 provincial election the rural constituency of Carillon. Running as a Farmer candidate, he defeated Conservative incumbent Albert Prefontaine by 48 votes. [1]
A number of "Farmer" and "Independent Farmer" candidates were elected to the Manitoba legislature in 1920, reflecting the growth of agrarian radicalism in the province. Duprey sat with this group in the legislature for the next two years, serving as an opposition member.
Many of the Farmer MLAs from 1920 later joined the United Farmers of Manitoba (UFM), which formed government after winning a majority of seats in the 1922 provincial election. Duprey was not part of this group. The Carillon UFM nomination was won by Albert Prefontaine, who had previously left the Conservative Party. Duprey ran for re-election as an independent Farmer candidate, and lost to Prefontaine by 316 votes.
Duprey himself later joined the Conservative Party, and ran against Prefontaine as a Conservative in the 1932 campaign. He lost by 1,786 votes.
The Progressive Party of Canada, formally the National Progressive Party, was a federal-level political party in Canada in the 1920s until 1930. It was linked with the provincial United Farmers parties in several provinces, and it spawned the Progressive Party of Saskatchewan, and the Progressive Party of Manitoba, which formed the government of that province. The Progressive Party was part of the farmers' political movement that included federal and provincial Progressive and United Farmers' parties.
There have been various groups in Canada that have nominated candidates under the label Labour Party or Independent Labour Party, or other variations from the 1870s until the 1960s. These were usually local or provincial groups using the Labour Party or Independent Labour Party name, backed by local labour councils made up of many union locals in a particular city, or individual trade unions. There was an attempt to create a national Canadian Labour Party in the late 1910s and in the 1920s, but these were only partly successful.
