James Wells Robson

James Wells Robson

James Wells Robson (March 1, 1867—?) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1903 to 1910, as a member of the Conservative Party.

Robson was born in Calcutta, India, the son of a medical missionary from Edinburgh who entered the British Government's educational service. He was educated at George Watson's College for Boys in Edinburgh, at the law office of Simpson and Lawson, and at Guelph Agricultural College in Guelph, Ontario. He later moved to Manitoba, and worked as a farmer. Robson was elected reeve of Swan River in 1901.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1903 provincial election, winning an easy victory in the Swan River constituency. The Conservative Party won this election under Rodmond Palen Roblin's leadership, and Robson served as a government backbencher. He was re-elected with a reduced majority in 1907, and lost to Liberal candidate Daniel D. McDonald by 29 votes in 1910.
