—Mr Llovd George is tho first Welshman to be Prime Minister in England. Ho attained that great position at the comparatively early' age of 53. He was the Chancellor of the Exchequer at 45, and President of the Board of Trade at 42. Since Cardinal Wolsey there has been no instance in our history of a rise from such obscurity to such eminence. Reared in a cottage home in the Welsh mountains, educated only at an elementary rchool. Lloyd George has known the pinch of privation. It is these vouthfnl experiences that have given him hip profound and loving sympathy with tile working millions. Until ho was past 30 he had the hard struggle which is "the lot of the professional man of the lower-middle classes until ho has found his feet. Ten years later ho was in the Cabinet. Yet he owed nothing whatever to adventitious aids. He has risen liy tho nativo force of his oen unaided gifts.
