James Hawkes ran against him for the Provincial Rights nomination and although Tate narrowly defeated him many delegates declared that Hawkes was more entitled to the seat, for his part Hawkes declared that he "did not feel like supporting Tate."[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. Recognizing that Hawkes could not be bought, members of the local Liberal association then offered the nomination to R.A. Carman, solely because he was known to be a friend of James Hawkes, but ultimately Carman did not run either. With the support of Hawkes Tate won the seat.
Tate lived in Wascana, Saskatchewan.[1]
