TORONTO,
Dec.
16:
After
seven
years
tenure
of
office,
Premier
G.
Howard
Ferguson
today
resigned
the
prime
ministership
of
Ontario
to
accept
the
new
position
of
Canadian
High
Commissioner
in
London,
succeeding
the
late
Hon.
Peter
C.
Larkin,
who
died
last
year.
M
j
Ferguson's
successor
as
premier
is
Hon.
George
Henry,
minister
of
highways,
who
was
sworn
ln
today.
Mr.
Henry
for
ten
years
has
I

tvw.
m
been
Mr.
Ferguson's
chief
lieuten
ant
and
has
been
a
member
of
his
cablnet
ever
since
the
Conservatives
came
into
power
with
the
defeat
of
the
Drury
Parmer
government
In
1023.
A
practical
farmer
with
a
univer
sity
degree
is
the
new
Prime
Minis
ter
of
Ontario.
Hon.
George
Stewart
Henry,
B.A.,
LL.
B.,
has
spent
the
greater
part
of
his
life
on
the
farm
here-hlTarlceitors

100
years
ago.
He
had
been
-no

farmer."
for
all
his
background
of
education,
but
has
taken
an
active
part
in
the
labor
as
well
as
the
management
end
of
his
farm.
But
he
has
found
time
for
highly
Successful
business
activities
as
well
and
long
continued
activity
in
municipal
and
provincial
politics.
Perhaps
Mr.
Henry's
greatest
asset
as
he
assumes
the
direction
of
the
affairs
of
the
province
is
his
ability
and
experience
as
a
business
man.
For
a
practical
farmer
he
took
a
keen
interest
in
efforts
to
bring
the
producer
and
consumer
more
closely
together
and
cut
down
the
cost
of
distribution
of
farm
products.
He
was
one
of
the
active
spirits
in
the
formation
of
the
Farmer's
Dairy
Company
Limited,
and
the
business
experience
he
gained
in
the
successful
operation
of
this
company
and
other
concerns
IS
certain
to
prove
of
great
value
to
hm
as
head
of
the
provincial
gov-
ernment.
When
the
leadership
of
the
Conservative
party
in
Ontario
was
vacant
in
1920
Mr.
Henry
as
one
of
the
few
members
of
Sir
William
Hearst's
cabinet
who
retained
their
seats
in
the
1919
election
was
mentioned
for
the
post.
The
choice
of
the
party,
however,
was
Hon.
Q.
Howard
Ferguson
and
now
after
10
years
of
service
as
Mr.
Ferguson's
chief
lieutenant
in
opposition
and
In
