Frederick Arthur Baglin (18 May 1872 –23 May 1966) was an Australian politician who was a Labor Party member of the Legislative Council of Western Australia from 1920 to 1923,representing West Province. He resigned his seat after being charged with theft,and subsequently served time in prison.
Baglin was born in Moutajup,Victoria (near Hamilton),to Caroline (née Walter) and Samuel Baglin. He is first recorded as living in Western Australia,where he married Jean Scott in 1900,when he was a resident of Paddington (on the Eastern Goldfields) and worked as a Western Australian Government Railways contractor. Baglin later worked for periods farming near Southern Cross and as a butcher in Kalgoorlie (where his eldest daughter (Dorothy Jean) was born). [1] He was elected to the Kalgoorlie Roads Board in 1912,but was unable to take his place due to a technicality. [2] In 1915,Baglin moved to Fremantle,where was elected secretary of the local trades hall two years later. [1]
In 1916,Baglin was preselected as the Labor candidate for the Legislative Council's West Province. He was defeated by only 15 votes,despite his Liberal opponent,Sir Henry Briggs,being the sitting President of the Legislative Council. [3] At the 1918 Legislative Council election,Baglin repeated his candidacy,running against another sitting member,the Nationalist Party's Robert Lynn. He was defeated a second time,losing with 48.3 percent of the vote, [4] but succeeded on his third attempt,defeating Joseph Allen at the 1920 election. [1]
In July 1923,Baglin was arrested and charged with three offences of stealing as a servant,the most serious of which was the theft of A£414.10s.6d. from the ALP Fremantle District Council (his former employer). [5] He pled guilty the following month to that charge (with the other two similar charges being dropped),and was sentenced to three years' imprisonment with hard labour. [6] Little is known of Baglin's activities after his release from prison,including his date of death. [1] He is known to have been living in Queensland in 1952 (aged 80),when he was the victim of a criminal assault. [7]
Sir Harry Pateshall Colebatch was a long-serving figure in Western Australian politics. He was a member of the Western Australian Legislative Council for nearly 20 years,the twelfth Premier of Western Australia for a month in 1919,agent-general in London for five years,and a senator for four years. He was known for supporting free trade,federalism and Western Australian secessionism,and for opposing communism,socialism and fascism. Born in England,his family migrated to South Australia when Colebatch was four years old. He left school aged 11 and worked for several newspapers in South Australia before moving to Broken Hill in New South Wales in 1888 to work as a reporter for the Silver Age. In 1894,he moved to the Western Australian Goldfields following the gold rush there,working for the Golden Age in Coolgardie and the Kalgoorlie Miner in Kalgoorlie. Two years later,he moved to Perth to join the Morning Herald,but after that newspaper collapsed,he moved to Northam where he started The Northam Advertiser. He also became friends with local bank manager James Mitchell and convinced Mitchell to run for state parliament. Colebatch was the mayor of Northam between 1909 and 1912.

During the term,the Country Party split into rival Ministerial (MCP) and Executive (ECP) factions–although in the Council,this was diluted somewhat by the refusal of some long-standing Country members to become involved in the dispute. The Executive faction,loyal to the Primary Producers' Association,prevailed and by 1925 the Ministerial faction had merged with the Nationalist Party.
