Charles Cameron Kingston

Gadfly (Adelaide, SA : 1906 – 1909), 13 May, p. 5.

Australia realises that she has lost one of the strongest, ablest, and most consistent leaders of her national life.

Prime Minister Deakin

Charles Cameron Kingston is dead, and Democracy loses on of its staunchest fighters, Australia one of its greatest patriots.

Reared among a family whose head was a rigid Conservative, Kingston’s great mind rose above the home influence. He became imbued with the spirit of Democracy and, from the time he stepped forth and proclaimed himself as “Charles Kingston, West Adelaide’s democrat,” to the time when, as the Right Hon. C.C. Kingston, he resigned his portfolio as Federal Minister of Customs, he had steered a straight political path, with “progress” for his motto, and “Australia” for his watchword.
