Liberty In All Things, Charluy RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20th, 1934 Alex D. Bruce, past president of the association and a widely‘ recog- nized authority on proportional rep- resentation, one of the Liberal plat- form planks, conducted the election of officers for the coming year under this system. Lyman Kennedy of Agincourt was enthusiastically ac- claimed in the office of president for another year, his election being made 'unanim-ously amid rousing cheers. Harry C. McConnell of Todmorden Iwas elected first vice-president, W. C. Rayfield 2nd vice-president, and E. J. Stiver of Unionville secretary. The chairman called on Alexander MacGr-egor K.C. who contested the riding for/the Liberals in 1917 and again in 1921, to address the gather- ing and on rising to speak Mr. Mac- Gregor was given an ovation which left no doubt as to his popularity in East York. Heather Hall, Agancourt, was packed to the doors last Tuesday eve- ning for the annual meeting of the East York Reform Association. In addit’on to about six hundred dele- gates there were a large number of enthusiastic King Government sup- porters from all parts of the riding. Rt. Hon. W. L M. King Euiogized By Alexander MacGre‘gor K. C. At East York Reform Meeting Mr. MacGregor praised the good work of the East York Riding execu- tive including their exacting work during the recent provincial election campaign.- Responsible to the People The speaker inspired great en- thusiasm when he pointed. out that it was the farmer forbears _of many of the electors of the north part of the riding who under the valiant leader- ship of the illustrousi William Lyon Mackenzie, the g'randlather ‘of Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, took their lives in their hands when they stood out for the vital principle of ithe responsibility of the executive of the government to the people and won [that noble fight. Mr. MacGregor cited the valuable opinion of Sir John Willison, the distinguished former editor of the Globe and later editor of The News and Chief Canadian representative of the London Times, that the prin- ciple established by that uprising of 1837 of the responsibility of the exâ€" tecutive of the people, is the basic principle underlying the constitution of the whole British Commonwealth of Nations to-day? This, declared Mr. MacGregor, .is the greatest political accomplishment in the history of Canada. He also pointed out that thej Hon. Algcander Mackenzie, able and“i incorruptible Scotch statesman who} actually worked as a journeyman in‘ the construction of the old Parlia-; mentary library at Ottawa and on‘ the Royal Military College at King- ston, and rose to be the Prime Minis- ter of Canada, represented the riding of East York at the time of his death in 18??“ A deep treasured tradition with Ir. MacGregor is that the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie and Mr. Mac- Gregor’s late father Patrick Mac- Gregor, who was founder of the To- ronto Gaelic Society, were close friends, and Hon. Alexander Mac« ikenzie was a pallbearer at the late IPatrick MacGregor‘s funeral in 1882. Lord Dufferin declared that Hon. Alexander Mackenzie was the very soul of honour and one of the noblest public men in British history. He wo would venture to represent this great historic riding of East York Mr. MacGreg‘or feeling declared, must realize he ‘assumes a very grave re- sponsibility and one which he should approach with due humility. Mr. MacGregor referred to the peculiar fitness of Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King for the high office of Prime Minister of Canada at the ci'itical time in our history. He pointed out that Mr. King has been fitting himself for the responsibilities of leadership and/ government ever since he entered Toronto University in 1891 and had evidenced his great zeal and devotion for the best inter- ests of Canada when he refused, as Sir William Mulock recently recalled appointment at a salary of $10,000 per year as Professor of Economics at Harvard University, to accept at the hands of Sir William, then Minister of Labor in the Laurier cabinet of the talents, the position of deputy ministte of labor.~ As St. Paul would say, remarked Mr. MacGregor, Mr. iiberals of Historic Riding Hear Champion of Liberalism Praise Founders of Responsible Government King magnified the office for he ex- posed sweat shop conditions in the manufacture of uniforms for- the Post‘ Office department which led to an insertion of a clause in the con- tracts for those uniforms requiring contractors to pay a minimum wage. A man’s past, declared Mr. Mac- Greg'or, is the best prophesy of what his future will be. Anyone who fair- ly weighs Mr. King in that unerl‘ing wigh-scale will readily conclude that lte is the logical man to inaugurate the New Deal in Canada and that Mr. King will surely become Prime Min- ister of Canada after the next Federal election. I Mr. Harry Johnson, Liberal or- ganizer and himself a resident of the riding, addrqssed the meeting and made valuable suggestion in regard: to the organization of the consti tuency. Colin Campbell, M.P., the victor inl the recent by-election in Frontenac- Addington, and the youngest member of the House of Commons, (33), whol was eloquently introduced by Col. P. Mulock, M.P., the recent victor inl North York, delivered a most instruct ive address, showing how vitally thei mass of the people is affected by tarâ€"l iffâ€"pointing out that 90% of the total invested capital of Canada, pro- fits by a moderate tariff, but loses Ly a high tariff. Statistics, Mr. Camp ‘ bell showed, actually bear out thatl fundamental fact. Alexander Bruce, past-president of the Association; Dennis McCarthy, Harry Saunders, Reeve of Scarboro Township, and the new members of the Executive, also~ addressed the gathering, which only dispersed far on into the wee small hours of the morn.ng Community Tree Saturday Afternoon. g Everyone is invited to join in the Richmond Hill Community Christmas Tree next Saturday afternoon at 3.30 p.m. There will be a. big parade] headed by Richmond Hill Trumpet Band in which the main feature will be jolly old Santa.
