Book Description

Excerpt from Life and Letters of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Vol. 2 Mr. Laurier had to hold the balance fairly between his own parliamentary followers and the men in the pro vincial administrations, between the old Liberal war horses and the eleventh-hour converts, between past service and future capacity, between debating skill and executive power, between province and province and between section and section, alloting Quebec its Eng lish-speaking Protestant minister and Ontario its Irish Catholic minister. But the range of choice had been closely narrowed before the election, and it was only necessary now to make some last-moment shifts be cause of election fatalities or personal idiosyncracies. By July 13 all the new ministers but three had been sworn in. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
