  George Houston Reid: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
George Houston Reid (February 25, 1845 - September 12, 1918) a member of the Free Trade Party, was the fifth Prime Minister of Australia, holding the office for approximately 11 months from August 18, 1904 to July 5.
Reid was born in Scotland, the fifth of seven children to a Presbyterian minister, who immigrated to Victoria in 1852 during the 1850s gold rush.

 George Reid
George Reid was a cartoonist's delight, although Deakin claimed that even a cartoonist could not do justice to his "immense, unwieldy, jelly-like stomach always threatening to break his waistband, his little legs apparently bowed beneath its weight, [and] his thick neck rising behind his ears rounding to his many-folded chin".
Deakin later claimed that Reid, as a parliamentarian, was "inordinately vain and resolutely selfish, a consummate tactician even more cunning [than Henry Parkes] and if anything exceeding him in violence and variety of vituperation".
But it was a flimsy alliance because Reid had no firm policy apart from waving the anti-socialist banner and securing the passage of legislation already before the House.
