‘Coleman Boy' ‘ ' Achieves Goal

By NEIL A. MATKESON Provincial-Farm Edltor

11‘ WAS the thrill of a lifetime. I gathered from Solicitor Gen. "31 Watson MacN'aught. when “the boy from Coleman" walked .510 the federal cabinet room in the East Block at Ottawa along W]. the others who were chosen by Prime Minister Pearson to form Canada's new government. Politics has. been Watson's mbmw since he irst recalls. as a boy of eight. hearing his tamer Nadia: from Hansaird Just 50 years ago. Making the cab- inet m been a dream for most of the in years.

BUT THE rejection at his own Constituency convention in December 1961. by more than two-footie. in favor of Provincial Highuays Minister George MacKay. following an almost three. mm defeat in the effort to win the provincial Liberal leader- smp icss than three months previously. must have been aibout the most disheartening thing any one man can be asked to absorb. Iwant to list just one more thing. Watson was just one vote way {mm political oblivion the night of his nominating ooh- \vpnllflll earlier this year. 0 won by only one vote from Alex Caniphf‘ll..8 young lawyer who Was making his first bid for pol- itical support.
