James Lyle Telford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Lyle Telford (21 June 1889 - 27 September 1960) was mayor of Vancouver, British Columbia from 1939 to 1940. He was born in Valens, Ontario.
Telford was a member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia under the CCF party. He campaigned for Vancouver mayor in late 1938, defeating incumbent mayor George Clark Miller by approximately 2000 votes in a city race that involved a total of seven mayoral candidates. Telford did not maintain CCF party membership as mayor, maintaining that political parties should not be a part of municipal politics.[1]
