James Caldwell (British politician)
James Caldwell (1839–1925)[1] was a Scottish politician. He served as an MP for two constituencies, both in Glasgow.
He was first elected for Glasgow St Rollox in 1886 as a Liberal Unionist. During his term he went over to the Liberals, and in 1892 he stood for re-election not in his own constituency but in Glasgow Tradeston, where he was narrowly defeated.
He was then elected as Liberal MP for Mid-Lanarkshire at a by-election in 1894,[2] where he served until January 1910, when he stood down.
