Research on speerhes for St Lavrent first drew Thomson to MarKenzie.

“T wee teocing hork the hie toric princivles of liberalism in Canada.” he sald in an iInter- view, “‘and came to realize that manv of the ideas and ideals of MacKenzie could be usefully ap- plied to our times.”

The problem looming larest In Markenzie’s dav was relatons with -Rrita‘n as the voune colony sourht to find a nlace in the sun. Perhans MacKenzie’s most Jest- ing achieverrent was to establich Canadian d-'evrates on an eaual rank with their British counter- parts in negotiations with the growing revublic to the south. WORK GOT BOOST °

Thomson’s work got a consider- able boost when a large store of papers and letters of the early Prime Minister were handed over to Queen’s University, Kingston,

Mackenzie’s grandson. Her hus- ane civil servant in Ottawa, had planned to write a biography of his ancestor whef he retired.

However, there are still some weak spots in the chain of. con- temporay material on Mackenzie, especially for his later years when, half-paralyzed, he stepped down as Liberal leader.

site he studied was the jail buik

He is still looking for copies of Mackenzie’s own paper, The Lambton Shield, which ran for 18 months between 1852 and 1854.

Other relics which Thomson is hoping to unearth are papers held by relatives of his second wife, Jane Sym, whose father was a farmer near Sarnia.

Mackenzie came to Canada at the age of 20 as a sort of advance

+| guard for his family. They fol-

lowed three years later, includ- ing his six sons: Hope, James, Robert, Adam, John and Charles.

He took te politics early and seriously. The son of Scotland can rank as one of Canada’s most successful politicians at the ballot box. He never lost a federal cam- paign and was defeated in only one contest, running for alder-

man in Sarnia on a prohibition ticket.

In looks and manner he was almost the prototype of the stern Victorian head of the household. He signed letters to his daugh- ter: ‘Your affectionate father, Alexander Mackenzie.”

RIGID MORAL CODE

Mackenzie's rigid moral code was probably the main reason for his downfall. Unwilling to trust any of his cabinet colleagues not to indulge in the, then rampant patronage associated with the Public Works ministry, he took that portfolio for himself and the dual role of Prime Minister and Public Works Minister wore down his energies making him an open mark for the rapier wit and par- liametary subtilities of Sir John A. MacDonald.

It was in keping with his sense of what was right and proper that MacKenzie should have three times refused a knighthood for what he considered democratic principles.

When fllness forced him to step down as Opposition Leader in 1880, two years after his defeat, Mackenzie mellowed and show- ed more frequently the flashes of humour and generosity which he had always kept for his in- timates.

Themson’s biography, due to be published late this year or early next, will add to the grow- ing list of works on Canada’s
