The Right Honourable William Slater Brown, Lord Provost. Herbert Henry Asquith (1852-1958), following a training in the law, started his political career as a Liberal MP for East Fife. Following a stint as Gladstone`s Home Secretary and a decade during which the Liberals were out of power, he became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1906. Upon Campbell-Bannerman`s resignation (and swiftly subsequent death) in 1908 he became Prime Minister. Famous for ambitious social welfare legislation, building up the Royal Navy and ending the House of Lords` veto, he resigned in 1916, partly as a result of the failure to make progress in the war and because of Lloyd George`s intrigues against him. Never holding office again, he accepted a peerage as Earl of Oxford in 1925, dying three years later.
