The Leaders In recent articles an attempt has been made to analyse the platforms of the respective parties and to dis- cuss their gititude towards the fiscal issue and the other questions of the day. We come now to some consider- ation of -the jeaders who head the three great parties of thé Dominion --=Mr, Meighen, head of the Conser- vative party and at present in power as chief of the Coalition known as the National Liberal-Conservative party; Mr. MacKenzie King, the leader of the Liberal party who was chosen Ldberal leader at the Ottawa convention on August 7th, 1919, to succeed' Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and T. A. Crerar, who is the accepted leader of the Farmers' party, , The Hon. Arthur Meighen is the son of Joseph and Mary Meighen, of St. Mary's, Ontario, and he was bofn at Anderson, Blanchard Township, Perth County, Ont., on June 16th, 1874. He was educated at St. Mary's Collegiate Institdte and at Toronto University, where he took an arts degree, winning honors in mathema- tics. He taught in the High School at Caledonia during 1897-1898 and then went to Winnipeg, teaching school and also acting for a time as a manufacturer's agent while study- ing law, From Winnipeg he went to Portage La Prairie in 1902 and was called to the Manitoba Bar in 1903. He began the practice of his profes- sion in Portage and quickly won fame as a successful criminal lawyer owing to a certain clarity of mind, a quick wit and a gift of oratory which he took pains to develop, He was first elected to the House of Commons as a Conservative for Port- age at the general election of 1908 and was re-electéd for the same con- goode Hall, the famous Ontario law school. His mother was the young- est daughter of William Lyon Mac- part as joint leader with Papineau in the early constitutional struggles in Canada and the attempt to use phy- sical force to establish their prin- ciples, which ended in the abortive rising near St. Johns, Quebec, at the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign. It is this link which perhaps has most commended him to the Liberals of the province of Quebec. ne pie. Liberalism and for Politics. MacKenzie King imbibed politics with his infant food, for his father Was a well-known speaker at cam- paign meetings and questions were discussed at the dinmer table in his boyhood that covered the whole range of the political history of the Dominion from earliest times until the present hour and all the great political and economic questions of the Dominion, y In a sense "MacKenzie King," ds he is always known, is a discovery of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's. The Old Chief gave the New One his first of- ficial start when he made him deputy minister of labor at the early age of twenty-six. When the offer came to Mr. King he Was travelling in Italy. He bed at the time a setter in his pocket from Harvard University, where he had taken a post-graduate degree, with en offer to tecture in political ecomomy, With this con- genial work in prospect he declined by cable to accept the Ottawa post, but being urged to reconsider he re- turned home hurriedly, consulted his friends and decided to enter the yer- vice of the Dominion in 1900. Eight years later he amed minister of labor, and went Hown to defeat with his chief and his party in 1911. Toronto is Mr. King's University as it is also Mr: Meighen's, Mr. King graduated in }1895, and subsequently he spent veral years in travel Studying social end industriel condi- tions, being attracted especially . by the work being done by Miss Jane Addams at Hull House, Chicago. He spent some time at the Passmore Ed- wards Social Settlement in London, where he came to know the family of Mrs. Humphrey Ward and a laste novel of the British writer is belfev- ed to have enshrined the Liberal leader in its pages as its hero, It ie a tradition at Toronto that against the treatment accorded some outspoken professor. He was a fig- ure of some importance in the stu- dent body, maturing early in life, due largely to his training and upbring- ing. During the war he was engaged by the Rockefeller Institute in work which is said to have been of great importance /for the Allies. He has been subject to sogne criticism fer not being in the Dominion during the war and for' not volunteering for ac- tive service, : Mr. King is unmarried.
