Suen Some people say that Charles A] Dunning, the new premier of Sas- katchewan, has no need for the pray- er of the old Scotchman: "God gl'e us a guid conceit o' corsel's.' "; but f ever a Canadian who has won to the top of the ladder had a reason for belief in his own star, and the ability to make success crown his ef- forts, it is the man whom the Grain Growers call "Charlie" Dunning, Out in Saskatchewan during the past few years they have had a watch-word: "Let Charlie do it!" And Charlie has been perfectly willing, and thus far, quite able, to tackle successfully any job that came along. Here, in brief, is the chronology of the youngest premier---Mr. Dunn- ing is only 37--In the British Em- pire: born in Leicester, England, in 1886; began to earn a living in a patents office, 1896; come to Can- ada as a farm boy in Yorkton, Sas- katchewan, in 1902; director Saskat- chewan Grain Growers' Association, 1910; general manager Saskatche- wan = Co-operative Ilevator Co., 1011; elected to legislature, 1916, and. appointed provincial treasurer; premier of Saskatchewan, 1922 It took Charwe Dunning just 'twenty years to climb from the lowest posi- tion on an indifferent farm in Sas- katchewan tothe highest position in the province; And his climbing pow- ers are still good, To him, lke a number of other prominent political figures, the wes- tern farmers' movement has been a great help along the way. Mr. Dunn- ing is really a product of the move- ment, and his own career has kept Step with the growth of the Grain Growers. He arrived in Canada the year that Hon. W. R.

When, a struggling homesteader at Beaverdate, he de- cided that he could finance a week at a Grain Growers convention at Prince Albert on $17.50, which was every cent his loeal could spare, he took his first step up. It is true, he had to sleep in the furnace room at one of the Prince Albert hotels; but he was able to turn in some. of his expense money when he returned home, and he had been elected on the provincial board of directors, a signal honor for a young man of 24, attending his first convention, How Dunning won the confidence of that convention, and caught the &ttention of the whole province of Saskatchewan, throws an interest- Ing light . on the almost {intuitive grasp of buginess and financial prob- lems which has brought him so rap- idly to the front. There was a dead- lock at the convention between the advocates of a government hall in- surance scheme and the opponents of such a plan, In a clear, forcible speech of characteristic brevity the youthful delegate from Beaverdale proposed a solution of the problem in the shape of a co-operative hail insurance policy, to apply only to municipalities where a majority of the farmers were in faver of such a scheme. This threw open a new road to compromise. It was accepted and endorsed, and was the beginning of the co-operative Municipal Hai] In- surance scheme which now pretty well covers the province, There is an impression in some quarters that the propelling power of the farmers' movement is largely wind, and that talk is the outstand- vention, That they do a good deal of talking, and a good deal of resolut- ing no one who has attended such a convention will deny; but it is a mistake to suppose that it is the windy ones who get to the front in the movenient. Mabarg, who has been president of the Saskatchewan association for the past twelve years, does only as much talking as his po- sition makes absolutely necessary; and he wastes few words. A blather- kite sometimes does come to the fore, but he does not last long. Sta- tistics on the amount of Hansard Consumed on the address in the pre- Sent parliament show that the Pro. gressives talked considerably less than either of the other two parties. Hard common-sense and practical ideas count for as much veth the far- mers as with any other class. It was Dunning's possession of such quali- ties that gave him his start, and that soon afterwards made him general manager of the Saskatchewan Co- Operative Elevator Company.

AA A A in the Martin government, it was at a considerable financial sacrifice. At the time ome of the leading grain men of Winnipeg expressed the opin- fon that Dunning was a fool to go into provincial politics when he could have begun with the speakers' own company at a salary of $15,000 a Year as manager of a line of eleva- tors. It is as good a light as any on Dunning's characte™to recall that he entered the Martin government when its fortunes were far from bright, and that he remains with it as its head aud the target for most of the criticism that is eoming when its fu- ture is still more uncertain. When he | entered it, his reply to the advice of | his friends was that he thought it | was his duty, and that he could do more for the farmers of the province there than in any other capacity. That is doubtless his idea still. How the farmers themselves, who are | avid of power in Saskat #:wan as in the whole west, will regard his ac- tion remains to be seen.
