its interests. He readily recognizes the possibilities of a
situation, utilizes the opportunities that are presented and
accomplishes substantial and gratifying results. He is a director
of several shipping companies and is on the board of the Montreal
Sailors’ Institute and the Shipping Federation of Canada, all
of which are more or less directly connected with the line of
business in which he has so long been engaged. Moreover, he has
done much to popularize the St. Lawrence route. He is serving on
the executive committee of the Canadian Shipping Federation, and
his long experience with maritime interests well qualifies him
to speak authoritatively upon matters with which the federation
deals.
Mr. Campbell has for some years been a member of the Montreal
Board of Trade, in 1910 was elected one of its councillors and in
1914 a vice president. He is also Cuban consul at Montreal.
In November, 1900, Mr. Campbell married Miss Emily Maud Baird, a
daughter of the late H. N. Baird of Toronto. They hold membership
in the Presbyterian church, and Mr. Campbell belongs to the St.
James Club. He favors free trade with the Empire and has been a
close student of many political situations and questions having
to do with the welfare and progress of the Dominion. His opinions
upon such questions are never lightly valued, for experience has
developed in him sound judgment and keen discrimination.
