John S. Ridley

John S. Ridley

John Sutherland Ridley was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1920 to 1922. Ridley was a member of the Conservative Party.

Ridley was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1920 provincial election, defeating Farmer candidate George Compton by 259 votes in the constituency of Manitou. Incumbent Liberal George Armstrong finished third. The Liberal Party won a minority government in this election, and Ridley served with his party in opposition.

He ran for re-election in the 1922 provincial election, and narrowly lost to George Compton in a rematch from two years earlier. Compton was by this time a candidate of the United Farmers of Manitoba.
