John Herron (Alberta politician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Herron (November 15, 1853 – August 20, 1936) was a politician from Western Canada.
Born in Ashton, Carleton County, Canada West, Herron was first elected to the Alberta (Provisional District) in the 1904 Canadian federal election in a hotly contested election defeating Malcolm McKenzie by less about 100 votes.
Herron would run in the new Macleod electoral district after the creation of the province of Alberta in the 1908 Canadian federal election. He retained his seat in parliament to win a second term.
In the 1911 Canadian federal election he was defeated by David Warnock from the Liberal Party of Canada. He ran to regain his seat again in 1925 and 1926 but lost both times.
