ONTARIO August 8th Date of Historic Gathering to Honor Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King The offices of the National Lib- eral Federation in Ottawa, head- quarters of the Federal Liberal Party, are a scene of intense in- dustry these days. But not because the feverish activities- of an election campaign are under way. The cur- rent hustle is concerned with ar- rangements for the National Liberal Dinner to be held in Toronto on An- gust 8th, to celebrate the 10h. an- niversary of Mackenzie King’a selec- tion‘ as Ice in Canada Invitations to this event have been sentâ€"through the officers of more than a thousand loeal Liberal clubs â€"â€"to every Liberal Party supporter in the country. Liberals of humble estate and Liberals who have gained eminence in Canada's public life will make the pilgrimage from ev- ery province to pay personal tribute and homage to the Leader of the Party. ,figures will be present. Big Family Gathering Liiberal‘s hope to make the Torâ€" onto banquet a vast family gather-l ing, free of formality and red tape. Despite the fact that the dinner will be held in Toronto's most luxurious hotel, and with the Prime Minister! and other national dignitaries pre- sent, the admittance tickets bear the important information “dress intfor- mal”. According to National Lib-l eral Federation officials, the majorg ity of the guests will be ordinary workers in the Liberal Party's vine- yard and personal admirers f Prime Minister Mackenzie Kingâ€"men, wo- men and young people. But the head table will present a most notable gathering of “Canadian puiblic fig- ures. The entire federal cabinet. prominent Liberal senators and M.P.’.s, provincial premiers and cab-I inet ministers, privy councillt‘rs and. eminent professional and business' Chairman of the dinner meeting will be the Prime Minister’s warm personal friend and colleague, Rt. Hon. Ern- est Lapointe.

D. Euler, Minister of Trade and ‘Com- merce, is national chairman, and Senator Norman P. Lambert, Chief Liberal Organizer, is honorary sec- retary. I 'Conservative, Donald MaCLEan. In Great Britain, the party lead- ers‘ were: Coalition, Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George; Liberal, Rt. Hon. H. H. Asquith; Unionist, Rt. Hon. An- drew Bonar Law; Labour, William Adamsion.

Of all the above-named party lead. ers of 1919, only oneâ€"er. HertZOgâ€" has paralleled Mr. Mackenzie King’s twenty years of uninterrupted serâ€" vice as recognized and undisputed leader of his group. All the others have passed from the scene; through death, retirement, defeat at the poll or reduction of party status. Four men have seen service, to date, as leader of the Conservative Party in Canada since Mackenzie King assumed the Liberal leader- ship. They are: Sir Robert Borden, Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, Rt.

Mackenzie King will cOmmence his twenty-first year as Chieftain of the Liberal Party. On August 8th, 1919, the National Liberal Convention, meeting in Ottawa, concluded its deâ€" liberations with the voting for a party leader. On the first ballot, Mackenzie King had a commanding majority over the other three candiâ€" dates, W. S. Fielding, George P. Graham and D. D. MacKenzie; but not sufficient to gain election under the convention rules. 0n the second ’ballotin'g for the same four candli- dates, Mr. King’s majOrity increased; but not sufficiently. Before the third balloting, Mr. Graham and Mr. MacKenzie retired. After the third balloting, the chairman, Honourable Charles Stewart, announced ::I here- by certify that a total of 914 votes have been cast on the third ballot, and under the rules, Honourable W. L. Mackenzie King has received a ,majority of the total ballots cast; and I hereby declare Mr. King elect‘ led by this convention". Thus conunenced a career of na- tional political leadership which has involved to date, twelve years in the Prime Ministership of Canada and eight years as Leader of the Oppo- sition. ary Ti 31 9‘ once Offi‘ Other Leaders of 1919 At the time of Mr. Mackenzie King’s elevation to the National Lib- era] Party Leadership in 1919, the national leader of the Canadian Con- servatives was Sir Robert Borden, Bader of the Liberal Party ‘E.

Service Under Five Monarchs Although Mackenzie King has been leader of the Liberal Party during- two decades, his years as a Canadian public servant go back much farther. In 1900, he was ap- pointed: as Deputy Minister of Labâ€" our by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and thus has been in the public service under five monarchs; Victoria, Edlwarl VII, George V, Edrward VIII and George VI. Programme Details Yet To Come The details of the evening’s proâ€" gramme for the great Liberal gathâ€" ering of August 8th, have not yet been made public. It is expected, however, that the two main features will be the speech of presentation of the Party’s token of affection and loyalty, andl the Prime Minisâ€" ter’s address in reply. The Nation- :11 Committee has not yet annOunced who will receive the enviable hon- our of maning the presentation speech. Party Conclave in Order The date of the Mackenzie King’s anniversary celebration falls at a most suitable ti-me'for Liberal Party stalwarts who will wish to get to- gether to discuss the Party’s chances in the forthcoming election camâ€" paign. Although no official party meetings have been called, the op- portunity will be ideal for the ex- change of views between Liberals from the Maritimes and the West and‘ British Columbia and‘ the cenâ€" tral provinces. Party organizers from every province will be on hand' and their opinions will be eagerly sought by those who are interested’ in the national political picture; While no date for the next federal election has been mentioned, there‘ will undoubtedly be an increase in‘ speculative excitement as Liberals’ from all over the country get to- gether in Toronto on August 8th, lto celebrate the twentieth anniversâ€" 'ary of Mackenzie King’s leadership. 1 Ticbets for this important nationâ€" al event may be had by applying at once to J.
