As a member of that Govâ€" _vmbnt, Mackenzie King is peculiarly fitted to do useful work. The Libâ€" érals of this riding have re qquested him to be a candidate and ‘the electors will be worthy of themâ€" .selves by seeing that he is elected by ~@ substantial majority. Born in this ~county the electors have watched â€"his _eareer with pleasure and pride. . His gourse at the Provincial University is a brilliant one and he has fully justified the prediction then made ‘&hat he would become a useful â€"and ~distinguished (public man. Subsequâ€" wently Sir William Mulock, a shrewd ‘judge of men, selected him as Deputy Minister of Labor. The work in that post Mr. King performed faithfully ‘ and well. His able reports are studiâ€" ‘edâ€"with profit not only in this counâ€" %ry but also in Great Britain and the United States where he is regardâ€" ~ ed as. an authority on the . special tmtions he has investigated. * The Minister of Labor chivalrously gave Mr. King credit for the Conciliaâ€" tion Act. This Act has been _ proâ€" mounced by President Elliot of Harâ€" vard, one of the leading authorit®® on â€"such matters, as the greatest adâ€" Â¥ance that has yet been made in any country towards the solution of tlw‘ Industrial Problem. ‘ Conciliation has been the watchâ€" word of the Lauriee _ Government. The Premier has successfully applied it to the delicate problems _ arising ‘from diffierences of races and creeds. Mr. Fielding has most _ successfully &pplied the principle to the solution of Tariff problems reconciling â€" apâ€" parently conflicting interests of East and West and of farmet, laboring man and manufacturer, bringing stability mnd prosperity instead of the Foster policy of tariff tinkering with its unâ€" fairness, business uncertainty and conâ€" gequent stagnation and depression. Phe electors of North Waterloo will ‘give Mr. King an opportunity of apâ€" plying the same grand principle _ in the industrial sphere as a member of ‘a strong and efficient Government. In these times many problems face all countries but there are mecisl‘ industrial ‘problems which must . be solved if this country is to fulfil Â¥%he noble destiny which it is ..pOSâ€" sible for us to achieve.
