Maurice Dane MacCarthy (May 11, 1878 – June 7, 1953) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada.
MacCarthy ran as a candidate of the Progressive Party, and defeated long-serving Conservative incumbent Joseph Hamelin[1] by 224 votes.
[1] His only difficult bid for re-election came in 1941, when he defeated Social Credit candidate Paul Prince by 199 votes.
MacCarthy died at age seventy-five, one day before the 1953 provincial election, while seeking a seventh term in the legislature.
On June 9, the Winnipeg Free Press newspaper published the following tribute: "The quiet-spoken member contributed little to the actual debates in the House, but no one would deny that he was most active on behalf of his constituency, and that in his own quiet, sincere and effective way he brought it benefits which a more vocal and less active member would have been unable to do."
