The "New Party" in Manitoba affiliated with the Manitoba Federation of Labour, and Paulley became the first provincial NDP leader later in 1961.
The party fell to five seats in 1953, during the first election to be held after the province's Liberal-Conservative coalition dissolved amid acrimony.
He was apparently chosen as party leader due to fears that his federal seat would be eliminated by redistribution.

 Article about "Progressive Party of Manitoba" in the English Wikipedia on 24-Apr-2004
While Campbell himself entered politics with the UFM in the 1920s, by 1950 his government had essentially become Liberal and what had been the Liberal-Progressives became known as the Manitoba Liberal Party.
Stuart S. Garson took over as leader of the party and Premier and was himself replaced by Douglas Lloyd Campbell in 1948.
This perception led to the party's loss of its majority in the 1927 election, forcing Bracken to form a coalition government.
