Following is Mr. Spctton'e siieeeh
taken from Hansard:—
Mr. George Spotton (North Hur-
on):
ur-on): Mr. Speaker, in attempting to
address the house for the first tune
I am sure I hal have your kindly
sympathy, and if I transgress any
parliamentary rule I know you will
reprove hie in 0 fatherly fashion.
Inasmuch as thi is my first ap-
pearance in parliament I suppose it
would be quite in order for me to
congratulate you, Mr. Speaker, upon
your re-election as speaker of the
house. From what I have observed
you have always displayd the most
admirable qualities of heart and
head, ant have always held, the
scales of ju:tiee evenly. May I take
this opportunity also to thank all the
members of the house for the kindly
manner in which they have received
100.
A feeling of deep regret and sor-
row creeps over the when 1 realize
that I am simply filling out the term
of the late lamented John W. King,
who was elected for the constituency
of North Huron in the federal clot -
ion of 1926. The late Mr. King and
I were opponents in 1921 when the
Progressive movement was at its
height. We were again opponents in
1925 when the courts had to decide
who should take a seat in this house.
Whether in the heat of election or
otherwise, I found the late lamented
member a man who stood four-
square to all the winds that blow. I
am sure, Mr. Speaker, that in voicing
my own feeling with respect to him
who was called home I am expressing
the sentiments of everyone in North
