“And what is your name, little man?" asked a visitor to the sitting room in a Christchurch hotel, used by the Prime, Minister, of a boy, a little more than three years of age. “Michael Joseph Savage, Prime Minister of New Zealand,” replied the youngster without hesitation. That was his name—at least his Christian name. Born three days after the Labour Government was returned to power in 1935, he was named “Michael Joseph Savage” by his father, Mr. H. M. Blazey, of St. Albans, a keen worker in the Labour movement. ..Mr Savage and his namesake were photographed together after the Prime Minister was introduced to the young claimant of his honours.
