Samuel Allen Carson (June 3, 1870 – February 27, 1949) was a provincial politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1921 to 1935 sitting with the United Farmers caucus in government.
Political career
Carson ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the electoral district of Sturgeon as a United Farmers candidate in the 1921 Alberta general election. He rolled up a good majority and defeated incumbent MLA John Boyle.[3] The race was notable because Boyle contested two seats also running and winning in the Edmonton that election.[4]
Carson ran for a second term in the 1926 Alberta general election. Despite losing some popular vote from the last election, he won the three way race easily as the opposition vote collapsed.[5]
Carson ran for a third term in the 1930 Alberta general election. He held his seat with another big majority over Liberal candidate John Kuzek.[6]
Carson retired from provincial politics at dissolution of the Assembly in 1935.
