Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Harry Corwin Nixon (April 1, 1891-October 22, 1961) was a Canadian politician and briefly the 13th Premier of Ontario. He was born on a farm near St. George, Ontario, the son of Henry Nixon, and studied at the University of Toronto's Ontario Agricultural College (then affiliated with the university). He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1919 as a candidate of the United Farmers of Ontario. He served as a Cabinet minister in the government of Premier Ernest C. Drury as Provincial Secretary and Registrar. Following the defeat of the UFO-Labour government in the 1923 election, Nixon sat as a Progressive Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), and became the leader of the small Progressive bloc (as most UFOers now called themselves) after the 1929 election. Mitchell Hepburn, a farmer and former UFO organizer, became leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, and Nixon led his Progressive remnant into an alliance with Hepburn's party. In the 1934 election, Nixon and his followers ran as Liberal-Progressives, helping bring the Hepburn to power. He ran and was elected as a Liberal in the 1937 election.
