Bonar Law of the Conservative Party became the British Prime Minister.
Law had been born in New Brunswick, which was at the time a separate British colony and not part of Canada. His father was a Presbyterian minister from Scotland, and the family returned to Scotland when Law still young after the death of his mother. He left school at the age of 16 and went to work in the office side of the iron industry, which was not unusual at the time. He was a wealthy man by age 30.
He'd be Prime Minister for less than a year, resigning in May 1923, as he became increasingly ill from throat cancer.
