Description:

Mr. Bezeau is interviewed on his front porch in Kitchener, Ontario. Bezeau campaigned for William Lyon Mackenzie King in the 1911 election in which King was defeated. He says that King could recover from defeat better than any man he knew and that it just made King more determined. He describes King as a bright, young, ambitious man in his early years in Kitchener. King exchanged letters with Bezeau throughout many years of friendship. In the last letter that King sent to Bezeau he expressed hope that "posterity would give him credit for a sincere desire to make the world a better place in which to live". Bezeau says that he "never tried to worm his way into King's confidence". He recalls the early days of King's career when his followers were proud of King, and some were jealous of him. Bezeau thought King was a lonely man who never married because he had to support his family. The last 100 feet or so contains Leiterman's re-asks to Mr. Bezeau. <30mn>
