son is standing up under the strain
with wonderful courage and vitality.
His deep, sonorous voice, which he
inherits from his father, has not lost
any of it's musical qualities, despite
the many calls upon him for public
addresses; his keen blue eyes have not
lost their sparkle; his blonde features
still have their boyish smile, and his
stride is just as long and vigorous as
during the days of his early struggles.
Nor has he lost any of his nerve or
courage because of the damning to
which he has been subjected by GER
tain special interests, and although
he realizes that many of his former
friends have turned against him be-
cause it has been impossible for him
to grant their claims for appoint
ments, he is still in fine spirits. He is
carrying on, just as he did twenty years
ago while swinging with long strides
across the prairies of Saskatchewan.
