John Henry Edmison (April 5, 1872[1] – March 22, 1932[2]) was a medical doctor and politician in Manitoba, Canada.
[2] Edmison was born in Waterdown, Ontario (now Hamilton, Ontario), the son of Reverend Henry Edmison, and was educated in Owen Sound, at Queen's University and at the University of Manitoba.
In the previous election, vote-splitting between the Liberal and Conservative parties in Brandon had resulted in the election of Albert E. Smith, a candidate of the Labour Party.
In 1922, Edmison ran as an independent endorsed by both the Liberals and Conservatives, and defeated Smith[2] by 1,221 votes.
He was re-elected in the 1927 election,[2] defeating candidates of the Labour and Progressive parties.
