M22; L begin; haweven,..to say a. word about some of the memories that are awakened today, may I im- mediately thank those who have al- ready spoken for the extremely cor- dial welcome they have extended to me, and particularly for the words they have used by way of introduc- tion. .Mr. Smith, as chairman, has spoken of the confidence and loyalty and friendship of the citizens of North York towards myself. As I seek to acknowledge that great obli- gation I recall, ladies and gentle- men. that it was all of 21 years ago that you first extended to me the nomination to run in this constitu- ency and that I first contested North York. I rtmember, too, that it was as many as 19 years ago, or 17 years ago, that I was returned by this constituency to the parliament of Canada in the office of prime min- ister of this Dominion. It was for this constituency that f sat when I first had the great honor of enter- ing our parliament. as leader, not only of my party but also as prime minister of Canada. Could any honor be greater than to come back at the end of a period of years of leader- ship to the constituency which for five years I had the honor of re- presenting- and be told that nowhere in our vast Dominion did I enjoy more of the confidence, more of the friendship, more of a loyal friend- ship of the citizens of Canada, than I do in this very constituency? l of North York. This constituency has a place in this province and in this Dominion second to none in the whole of Canada; this constituency has been associated with the march of all reform and liberalism for more than a century past, and the opinion of this constituency has spread in many parts of our country. “It is a joy to me to .be associated with Col. Mulock at this picnic, and I recall among other things that it was at the residence of his grandâ€" father, Sir William Mulock, many years agoâ€"1896 was the yearâ€"that I first had the pleasure of meeting Sir Wilfrid Laurier and becoming acquainted with the one who at that time was the leader of the opposiâ€" tion, soon to become prime minister of our country, and who held that office for 15 years. I remember; too, as I speak, that it was Sir Wil- liam Mulock who invited me to be- come his deputy and to work with him in the organization of the de- partment of labor of our country. That work was undertaken long beâ€" fore other people began to show in- terest in the problems of labor. as they do today. And I always feel that this is one of the outstanding- achievements of the Liberal party, which was the first party to recog- nize the questions relating to labor. And it was due to the Liberal party that we had, both in our province and in our Dominion, the establish- ment of the first departments of labor in our country. “I want to thank Col. Mulock very warmly indeed for giving me the if:â€" (Continued on Page 8) “May I express also to Col. Mu- lock how deeply touched I have been by his words of welcome. I have been most fortunate, ladies and genâ€" tlemen, in the following that I have in the House of Commons, and the feeling is shared by my colleagues and myself that among those who are there, none have been more loyal and true and helpful than those Lib- eral members from the different con- stituencies of York and those from the city of Toronto. They arefla band of young men! second to none among the public men Of our day, and all are men of keen intellect, broad vision, men who have at heart the future of their country. and they will all go very far in our public life. Baker’s father. A finer citizen! of our country I believe is not to be found in any part of it. He is an example to all of us, a man of keen vision, character and ability, and true conception of citizenship. I remem- ber saying to a good many of our friends at the time when they came to select a candidate for the provin- cial Housew that I doubted if could do better than to choose Mr: Baker. I am sure he is one Who will maintain the traditions of the constituency which he has so much at heart, and one who will rise to a great place in the affairs of our province and in the affairs of our country. I tell you today that you have in the person of Mr. Baker, in the provincial House, and youI other representative, Col. Mulock, in the federal House. two young men who are going to take an increas- ingly important place in! the public life of our country, and who are go- ing to be as honored as their grandâ€" fathers have been before them.
