On the occasion of 1908 Canadian federal election. Small creases. Card published by Warwick & Rutter, Toronto. Identical to their postcards, but this one with a plain back and Ralston's signature. Ralston was the unsuccesful Liberal candidate for Cumberland, Nova Scotia. He subsequently entered public life when he ran as the provincial Liberal candidate for Cumberland and was elected in the 1911 provincial election. He was re-elected in 1916. Ralston served in World War I as an officer in the 85th Canadian Infantry Battalion (Nova Scotia Highlanders). He was promoted to commanding officer of the Nova Scotia Highlanders and pursued a career as a professional soldier in Canada's post-war army, rising to the rank of Colonel in 1924. Ralston left the military and entered federal politics once again when he was unsuccessful as the Liberal candidate for Halifax in the 1926 federal election. Despite losing the general election, Ralston was appointed to the cabinet by Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King and became the Minister of National Defence on October 8. Prime Minister King created a seat for Ralston by appointing the MP for Shelburne - Yarmouth, Paul Lacombe Hatfield, to the Senate, thus opening the riding for a by-election. Ralston won by acclamation on November 2, 1926, entering the 16th Parliament. Ralston served as Minister of National Defence until the defeat of King's government in the 1930 federal election but was re-elected and remained the MP for Shelburne-Yarmouth through the 17th Parliament, serving in His Majesty's Loyal Opposition. He also served as Minister of National Defence from 1940-1944, during World War 2 (WWII), as well as Minister of Finance and Minister of Pensions and National Health, all under Mackenzie King. Exceptional and long career! Canadiana, political autograph. Very scarce.…
