Mr. Letourneau is prominently known as one of the leaders of
the liberal party and as the liberal organizer for the district
of Montreal has justified his appointment by the series of
brilliant successes that have been scored for the liberal party
in and around the city. He has rendered to his party service as a
tactician and he is now sitting for Hochelaga in the provincial
legislature, stanchly supporting Sir Lomer Gouin in his policy of
progressive legislation. Mr. Letourneau is also a member of the
Montreal Reform Club. He is a man of unfaltering determination,
carrying forward to successful completion whatever he undertakes,
whether in the field of law or politics. He stands stanchly for
the right as he sees it, and his position is never an equivocal
one.
CHARLES HAVILAND ROUTH.
Charles Haviland Routh, insurance broker, occupying a position
among the foremost representatives of insurance interests in the
Dominion, has in this direction, followed in the footsteps of his
father, the late John H. Routh, who was for a quarter century
agent at Montreal for the Western Assurance Company. Haviland L.
Routh, grandfather of Charles H. Routh, was also prominent in
insurance circles, being Canadian manager for the Royal Insurance
Company. Charles H. Routh was born and educated in this city
and throughout the period of his identification with business
interests has been connected with the insurance profession. He
is lacking in none of the qualities requisite for advancement
and success in his chosen calling, which has brought him a wide
business acquaintance. He is, however, perhaps, more widely
known as a yachtsman, having for some years been commodore of
the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club, of which he became a charter
member in 1891. Several times has he successfully defended the
Seawauhaka Cup and there are those who feel they know Mr. Routh
at his best when he is acting in that capacity, because of his
resourcefulness and the joy he feels in the sport. The Toronto
Telegram wrote of him; “He has been pitted against the best
skippers and the best boats that the United States can produce,
but has remained the same level-headed sailorman in all his
contests.” Aside from his connections with the Royal St. Lawrence
Yacht Club, he belongs to the Montreal Club and the Montreal
Curling Club. He is enthusiastic in his sports and equally so in
anything that he undertakes, his energy and interest carrying him
forward to the point of success whether it be along the line of
business or of pleasure.
