Biography
Born in Creswick, Victoria, he was educated there and became a journalist with the country papers. Moving to Warracknabeal in 1883, he became a farmer and newspaper proprietor. Sampson's nephew was the future Prime Minister of Australia Robert Menzies. In 1906, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the member for Wimmera; although endorsed by the Anti-Socialist Party, he campaigned as an independent Protectionist, and sat in the House as such. In 1909, he joined the Commonwealth Liberal Party that was formed from the fusion of the Protectionists and the Anti-Socialists. In 1917 the Liberal Party merged with Labor defectors to form the Nationalist Party. Sampson held his seat until 1919, when he was defeated by a Country Party candidate. He retired from politics to become a company director and newspaper owner, and died in 1948.
