tell OF some lake In this country IN which
the same thing could be done
Mr. Macdonald said that there is need
in this country and In Canada for young
men who are not afraid to enter into
politics; he said that II is not meant that
man should dream Of beautiful heaven
in the clouds and forget the hell on
earth that is made possible by such for
getfulness He said that all men
should mingle in politics in the govern

can plead that he is a member Of
