James Thomas Gordon

James Thomas Gordon

James Thomas Gordon (December 24, 1859—?) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1901 to 1910, as a member of the Conservative Party.

Gordon was born in Hastings County, Canada West (now Ontario), and was educated at common schools in Tweed. He later moved to Manitoba, and became an exporter of livestock.

Gordon challenged Liberal Premier Thomas Greenway for the Mountain constituency in the 1899 provincial election, and lost by 128 votes. Less than two years later, on December 24, 1901, he was elected to the legislature without opposition in a by-election for Winnipeg South. The Conservatives had won a majority government in the 1899 election, and Gordon served as a backbench supporter of Rodmond Palen Roblin's government. In 1902, he was given the honour of moving the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne.

Gordon was re-elected for Winnipeg South in the Manitoba general election, 1903 and 1907 elections, and did not seek re-election in 1910.
