From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Graham Harvey (June 3, 1869—1951) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1910 to 1914, as a member of the Conservative Party.

Harvey was born at Fallbrook Co. in Lanark County, Ontario. He was educated at public schools in Winnipeg and at Manitoba College, receiving a law degree. In religion, Harvey was a Presbyterian.

He first ran for the Manitoba legislature in the 1907 election in the constituency of Dauphin, and lost to Liberal candidate John Campbell by 121 votes. He ran again in 1910, and defeated Campbell by 53 votes. The Conservatives won the election, and Harvey served as a backbench supporter of Rodmond Palen Roblin's administration for the next four years. He did not run for re-election in the 1914 campaign.
