James Samuel Taylor

James Samuel Taylor

James Samuel (J.S.) Taylor (January 20 1872 - December 22 1960) was a Canadian politician, printer and publisher.

Born in Liverpool, England, Taylor immigrated to British Columbia settling in Nanaimo.

In 1935 he was one of the first MPs elected to the Canadian House of Commons under the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation banner representing Nanaimo riding.

He had strong interests in astrology and numerology and did not fit in well with other members of the CCF caucus and was once described by M.J. Coldwell as "A very queer duck, indeed".(Stewart, Walter; "The Life and Political Times of Tommy Douglas" pg 127 ISBN 1552783820

By early 1937, Taylor had left the CCF caucus and was sitting as an Independent MP and is described by Stewart as having "jumped to the Liberals"(ibid) though he never formally adopted that designation. Taylor did not run for re-election in 1940 and returned to private life.
