Well that's interesting!
A member of the National Liberal-Conservative Party, MacKelvie was elected to Parliament in a 1920 by-election to replace another Conservative, Martin Burrell, who had been seriously injured in the February 1916 Parliament fire and had been named parliamentary librarian. Although MacKelvie was re-elected in 1921, he died in office, ironically, 14 years before Burrell who continued as librarian until his death in 1938.
