Hiram Hunter (10 February 1874 – 9 May 1966) was a New Zealand politician and trade unionist.
Early life
Born in Christchurch in 1874, Hunter was a farmer, storekeeper, carter, and trade unionist.[1]
Political career
Hunter stood for the Christchurch East electorate in the New Zealand House of Representatives in Шаблон:NZ election link year for the Labour Party (original), Шаблон:NZ election link year for the Social Democratic Party and Шаблон:NZ election link year for the New Zealand Labour Party. His best result was losing by 136 votes in 1911 in a close three-way contest, and failing to qualify for the subsequent run-off election by just four votes. He was President of the LRCШаблон:Clarify (1911–1913) and of the Social Democratic Party (1913–1915). In Шаблон:NZ election link year, he contested the Mid-Canterbury electorate as an Independent Labour candidate against Jeremiah Connolly, but was unsuccessful.Шаблон:Sfn
During the 1930s, Hunter became increasingly disillusioned with the NZ Labour Party and argued that: "We have learned much of socialisation through its application in Russia. The result has been servility for the workers under the domination of dictators and, what seemed a book of beautiful ideal in 1915 has turned out to be in practice, a horrible reality".[2] In 1938 he stood for the conservative National Party against his former Labour comrade Dan Sullivan who beat him by a three to one margin, with the election-night crowd booing him so loudly his speech could not be heard leaving Hunter with an undignified end to his public career.[1]
Hiram Hunter was a member of the Christchurch City Council for ten years (1911–1915; 1917–1923).[3]
Death
Hunter died in 1966 at Ashburton.[1]
