Page remained dominant in the party until 1939 and briefly served as an interim Prime Minister between the death of Joseph Lyons and the election of Robert Menzies as his successor, but Page's refusal to serve under Menzies led to his resignation as leader.

Founding leader Joseph Lyons began his political career as an Australian Labor Party politician and served as Premier of Tasmania.

Lyons was elected to the Australian Federal Parliament in 1929 and served in Prime Minister James Scullin's Labor Cabinet.

Until 1935 Lyons served as Treasurer as well as Prime Minister.

Two of their sons later became involved in Tasmanian state politics in the Liberal Party: Kevin Lyons was Deputy Premier between 1969 and 1972 and Brendan Lyons served in the ministry of Robin Gray during the 1980s.

At the time of his resignation, McEwen had served 36 years and 5 months and was the last serving parliamentarian from the Great Depression era and the last parliamentary survivor of the Lyons government.

Forest View is served by Lyons School District 103.

McCook is served by the Lyons School District 103 and J.

Lyons is served by the Berks-Lehigh Regional Police.

He also served as Minister for the Navy, Minister for Industry and Attorney-General at various times under Lyons ' successor, Robert Menzies.

Convicted on 16 April 1993 on multiple charges of larceny and forgery, Lyons was sentenced to 17 months in prison ; however, he served only a month of this sentence and was released on 17 May 1993.

In November 1981, he, Klecko, Lyons and Salaam were invited to ring the ceremonial opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, which served as the inspiration for their nickname.

In 1932 Sir George Pearce joined the newly formed United Australia Party, and served as a minister in the government of Joseph Lyons until his defeat at the 1937 election ( his term ended in June 1938 ).

Lord Lytton, who had served under Lyons as chargé d ' affaires, succeeded him.

A number of famous men served as printers ' devils in their youth, including Ambrose Bierce, Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Fuller, Thomas Jefferson, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, Warren Harding, John Kellogg, Lyndon Johnson, Hoodoo Brown, James Hogg, Joseph Lyons, Albert Parsons and Lázaro Cárdenas.

His father Gordon Gray served as president of UNC from 1950 – 1955 and served as Secretary of the Army under Presidents Harry S. Truman, and as chair of Piedmont Publishing Co. which publishes the Winston-Salem Journal ; his cousin Lyons Gray was a Republican member of the North Carolina General Assembly before joining the EPA.

In this sense, it is usually not a ' Minister without portfolio ' such as the equivalent position, Lord President of the Council, is in the United Kingdom, although it has sometimes been used thus in the past ( many of the earlier Vice-Presidents, and some of the later ones, such as Dame Enid Lyons in the First Menzies Ministry and Sir James Killen in the Third Fraser Ministry, served in the post without holding another portfolio simultaneously ).

The Liberals won this election, and Lyons served as an opposition member.

With Lyons ' sudden death on 7 April 1939, Page became acting Prime Minister until the UAP could elect a leader.

Lyons became acting Treasurer in 1930 and helped negotiate the government's strategies for dealing with the Great Depression.

With Scullin temporarily absent in London, Lyons and acting Prime Minister James Fenton clashed with the Labor Cabinet and Caucus over economic policy, and grappled with the differing proposals of the Premier's Plan, Lang Labor, the Commonwealth Bank and British adviser Otto Niemeyer.

The publicity was so damaging that the Diocese of Lyons released a statement saying that Monsignor Duquaire had been acting on his own initiative.

He was warned by Lyons that if the proclamation were issued, he would have been perceived as acting in desperation, since the U. S. was about to officially concede defeat and that issuing such an order would amount to nothing more than an attempt to raise insurrection inside what was now another country, and doing so would be seen as a directly hostile act.

With James Fenton as acting Prime Minister and Joseph Lyons as acting treasurer in his absence, Labor continued to negotiate Australia's economic response-with Fenton and Lyons advocating a more conservative fiscal approach and the unions and caucus calling for repudiation of debts.

When Labor reinstated the more radical Ted Theodore as Treasurer in 1931, Lyons and Fenton resigned from Cabinet.

Lyons became the leading advocate within the government of orthodox finance and deflationary economic policies, and an opponent of the inflationary, proto-Keynesian policies of Treasurer Ted Theodore.

When Scullin returned in January 1931, he reappointed Theodore ( as it had become clear Theodore would not be charged with corruption ) to the Cabinet as Treasurer, which Lyons took as a rejection of his own policies.

Prime Minister Joseph Lyons appointed him an assistant minister in 1933, and in 1935 he became Treasurer.

The Labor movement split over how to deal with the crisis, with Treasurer Ted Theodore failing to have his inflationary plan pass Parliament, New South Wales Premier Jack Lang losing office over a proposal to default on international loan payments, and Labor defector Joseph Lyons forming the United Australia Party which provided stable and more fiscally conservative government from 1932 until his death in 1939.

When the more radical Ted Theodore was reinstated as Treasurer by Scullin on 29 January, Joseph Lyons and James Fenton along with three others resigned from the government.

During the persecution of Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor from 161-180, Irenaeus was a priest of the Church of Lyons.

In late 1934 and early 1935 Menzies unsuccessfully prosecuted the Lyons government's case for the attempted exclusion from Australia of Egon Kisch, a Czech Jewish communist.

Menzies led the Coalition into the 1940 election and lost the large majority he'd inherited from Lyons.

The party governed Australia for much of the 1930s, through Australia's recovery from the Great Depression under Joseph Lyons and into the early stages of the World War II under Robert Menzies.

Soon afterward, Lyons, Fenton and four other right-wing Labor MPs -- Moses Gabb, Allan Guy, Charles McGrath and John Price -- resigned from the ALP in protest of the Scullin government's economic policies.

The Lyons government followed the conservative economic policies it had promised in opposition, and benefited politically from the gradual worldwide economic recovery as the 1930s went on.

Extant sources relate that he was a wealthy clothier and merchant from Lyons and a man of some learning.

Between 1175-1185 Peter Waldo either commissioned a cleric from Lyons to translate the New Testament into the vernacular, the Arpitan ( Franco-Provençal ) language or was himself involved in this translation work.

Driven away from Lyons, Waldo and his followers settled in the high valleys of Piedmont, and in France, in the Luberon.

Indeed, since the Coalition's formation in 1923, the major non-Labor party had only been able to govern alone once, during Joseph Lyons ' first ministry -- and even then, Lyons ' United Australia Party had come up four seats short of a majority and needed confidence and supply support from the Country Party to govern.

Lyons ' government was cautious and pragmatic, establishing good relations with business and the conservative government in Canberra, but attracting some criticism from unionists within his own party.

Alienated by their attacks, Lyons began to consider suggestions from a group of his new business supporters, including influential members of the Melbourne Establishment, that he leave the government to take over the leadership of the conservative opposition.

Lyons immediately resigned from the Cabinet, and then in March from the Labor Party.

In March, at about the same time as Lyons led his group of defectors from the right of the Labor Party across the floor, 5 left-wing NSW Labor MPs, supporters of New South Wales Premier Jack Lang, also split from the official Labor Party over the government's economic policies ( for Lyons they had been too radical, for the Langites they were not radical enough ), forming a " Lang Labor " group on the cross-benches and costing the government its majority in the House of Representatives.
