Frederick Clarke Tate (January 24, 1849[1] – 1920[2]) was a farmer and political figure in Saskatchewan.
He represented Regina County from 1908 to 1912 as a Provincial Rights Party member and Lumsden from 1912 to 1917 as a Conservative in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.
He was born in Grafton, Ontario, the son of Robert Tate and Margaret Clarke, and was educated there and in Brighton.
"[3] The Liberals sought to take advantage of this division by asking Hawkes to run as their candidate in the riding, replacing Premier Walter Scott, and it was reported that should he run as a Liberal or even as an independent in that constituency Hawkes could expect "a good thing" from the government.
[4] Hawkes rejected the Liberal offers and subsequently announced that he would support Tate, and it was believed that his large following within the German community would be decisive in the election.
