William Brown was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1922 to 1927.
Brown lived in Roland, Manitoba. He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1922 provincial election as a candidate of the United Farmers of Manitoba (UFM), defeating independent candidate Herbert Robinson by 141 votes in the constituency of Dufferin.
The UFM unexpectedly formed government after this election, and Brown served as a backbench supporter of John Bracken's administration for the next five years. He did not seek re-election in 1927.
Famous quotes containing the word brown:
“They dragged you from homeland,
They chained you in coffles,
They huddled you spoon-fashion in filthy hatches,
They sold you to give a few gentlemen ease.”
—Sterling Allen Brown (b. 1901)
