John Burns, Mr.
J.Keir Hardie, and Mr.J.Ramsay MacDonald.

The Right Hon.

D.Lloyd George is conspicuous rather as the representative of the industrious Nonconformist middle class, but the success of his career is no less significant of the advance of democracy.

The very Cabinet is now no longer an aristocratic committee, and the highest offices of executive government are held by men who are neither wealthy nor of distinguished family.
Two working-class leaders of an earlier generation--the Right Hon.

T.Burt, M.P., and Mr.H.Broadhurst--held office as Under-Secretaries in the Liberal Government of 1892-5; but Mr.John Burns is the first trade unionist to sit in the Cabinet.
