Mrs. Stevens and her two sons and three daughters were virtually unknown to Canadians. Toâ€"day, because of the widesprend interest aroused since Stevens assumed the leadership of a fourth major party, they could no longer remain in the background. The above layout, the first ever published, shows TOP (left to right) Douglas Carlyle Stevens, 19, a student at Queen‘s University, Kingston, and Rev. Francis H.

He became one of the front benchers, acquiring a reâ€" putation for being fearlems, a hard work&r and agreeable in manner and word. He developed a talent as an effective debater, with a flair for apâ€" pealing to the emotions of his listenâ€" era. His first big opportunity came in 1926, when Arthur Meighan wantâ€" ed a capable man to develop and launch the customs disciosures. Alâ€" though he was i}l at the time, Ste vens went on at 11 o‘clock on the He won election after election in Vancouver Centreâ€"indeed, until he was defeated by Hon. fan MacKenzle in 1930 he came to be known as the man who never Jost a fight. In 1917 he had a majority of 8,179, and his majority never dropped to leas than a thousand. ‘ His first active participation in Federal Politice came in the year of the Reciprocity Campaign, 1911. He had been working for one of the Conâ€" servative candidates as an organizer when it was suggested to him that he let his own name stand as candiâ€" date for Vancouver Centre. He won the seat with the handsome majority of 38,256. He was a backâ€"bencher with R. B. Bennett and Arthur Meighen, behind the Government of Sir Robert Borden, in 1911â€"1917. Hon. H. H. Stevens, like Sir John MacDonald, ‘Hon. Robert Forke, Hon. Charles Dunning and Hon. Martin ‘Burrell, was born in the British Isles. He is a native of Bristol and Je in his 57th year. ‘That was by no means the end of the variety in his life. When he came back to Vancouver he worked in a grocery store, studied and became an accountant, branched Out into a financial broker. He was at one time or another, if reports are accurate, a real estate dealer and the editor Oof a militant weekly. He began to take a keen interest in civic affairs, joined a temperince "banish the bar" movement, became an alderman, unâ€" dertook to help "Clean Up" Vanâ€" couver. > Mr. Stevens as an immigrant boy knew what it was to go through the mill. His pareats settled at Peterâ€" borough, and his Canadian educaâ€" tion was received there. As a boy he worked on a farm there, and reâ€" cently had the pleasure of meeting once more one of his former emâ€" ployers. But his restless spirlt reâ€" fused to be tled down on an Ontario farm. He hbeard the call of the great west, and went through to British Columbia in the ninetles, when gold and glamour and adventure were still richly mixed with arduous drudgery. He drove a stage coach, he prospected for gold. He fired a Tocomotive for awhile, it is said. But his thirst for adventure was not satiefled by these experiments, The Phillipine revolt came along, and he joined the United States army. Later he went to take part in quelling the iBoxer uprising in China. It was durâ€" ing this period In his life that he traâ€" velled extensively in the romantic South Seas. The Hon. H. H.

Judge: "Oh yeah!" ‘ . Our Modern Slang Judge: "What is the meaning of the expresslon, ‘Sez you‘?" _ The liner quivered from stem to stern, and then with a barsh gratâ€" ing sound it came to a full stop. A man in a jong, flowing white nightâ€" shirt appeared from a cabin and dashed up to a steward. ‘‘Too late," the ateward anawered. "We‘ve done all we can for you, and you‘ll have to look out for yourself now. You see, we‘ve just tied up in dock." "What‘s happened?" he shouted. "Have we struck an iceberg? Shall I get into my lifebelt? Won‘t you lowâ€" er the boats?" The service he rendered the counâ€" try as Minister of Trade and Comâ€" merce, is making history, the forâ€" mation of the Price Spreads Comâ€" mission, his break with Mr. Bennett and his accoptance of the leadership of the newly formed Reconstruction Party, have been too wellâ€"heralded to need comment. Mr. Stevens has irrevocably severed his connection with the Conservative Party. He is well qualified to undertake the task of leadership. Like the prophets of old he recognizes that ‘"Righteousâ€" ness exalteth a nation and sin is a reproach to amy people." Harry Stevens is honest enough to be bold, and boid enough to be honest. night when his leader thought it was opportune to spring the charges and made a long powerfu] address, bristâ€" ling with facts and figures. In 1926â€"30 he was one of the effecâ€" tive critics of the MacKenzie King administration. When 1930 came along, although personally defeated, he was chosen for the responsible post of Minister of Trade and Comâ€" merceâ€"the post which he resigned in October, 1934.
