Stephen Emmett Clement

Stephen Emmett Clement

Stephen Emmett Clement (October 14, 1867—?) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1915 to 1920 as a member of the Liberal Party. His father, also named Stephen Clement, was a member of the legislature from 1881 to 1882.

Clement was born in Cookstown, Ontario, and moved to Manitoba with his family in 1880. He was educated at public schools in Brandon, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Manitoba. He served as mayor of Brandon from 1907 to 1908, and was chosen as president of the Canadian Club in 1912. Clement was a Methodist in religion, and a director of Manitoba's Wesley College.

He first sought election to the Manitoba legislature in the provincial election of 1914, running against Conservative cabinet minister George R. Coldwell in the constituency of Brandon City. He lost by 163 votes. He contested Brandon City again in the 1915 provincial election, and this time defeated newly-chosen Conservative leader James Albert Manning Aikins by 701 votes. The Liberals won a landslide majority in this election, and Clement served as a backbench supporter of Tobias C. Norris's government for the next five years.

Clement was defeated in the 1920 provincial election, losing to Labour candidate Albert Edward Smith by 604 votes.
