Born in Ontario, "Jimmy" Garfield became one of the most successful and powerful politicians in western Canada. He first entered the Saskatchewan Legislature as a Liberal in 1914 and was not defeated at the polls until 1958. Twice Premier of Saskatchewan (1926-29) and (1934-35) he was elected to the House of Commons in 1936 and served as Minister of Agriculture from 1935 to 1957. A combative intensely partisan politician, Gardiner was for years the bulwark of his party in the West and the voice of the prairie farmer in Ottawa. He died at Lemberg, Saskatchewan.
