'l'he following are brief ,ketches of the careers and personalities of members of the new Meighen Con- servativi.' cabinet: RIGHT HON. ARTHUR ME1GHIN Premier Arthur Meighen was born sat 187,1 at Anderson, in Perth Conn- ty, Ontario, and educated at St. Marys Collegiate Institute and Tor- onto University. He is am,,,r.};school teacher and a barrister, and twos first eleeted to the commons in the 1905 general elections; re-elected in 1011, 1913 and 1917; and defeated for Portage la Prairie in the Conserva- tive debacle of 1921. He was re- elected in a Grenville by-election, however, when a seat was made vac- ant for him. Mr. Meighen has twice been prime minister. Appointed solieitor-gener- al in the Borden cabinet in 1918, his. wise to political faitwas rapid, and, d , whenSir Robe retired, he was the ,rt et .d 1 ready choice of at Ieast the Conser- vative element in the Union. govern- ment -to carry on as first minister. His ethics in continuing what was originally returned as a war admin-! istration were bitterly condemned by + the Liberals, and.his government was swept from office in 1021. The prime minister has one of the keenest of analytical minds in the House of Commons. He is a ready debater, with remarkable poster to Wither his opponents with sarcasm. According to his Conservative friends. his biggest handicap is the absence. of the qualities to make him a per- sonally popular figure Jike his great predecessor, Sir John A. Macdonald. In his career. at Ottawa be has filled the posts of secretary of state, minister of Mines, minister of the interior, ;nd sv(perinten<dent'geno')nat of th.di'alt a(fairs,•Itte Was called Upon ONTA'l") lT%:^i'IH''L1 SEVEN MEN FOR NE W CABINET Right T -Ton.
