TALKED OF ANNEXATION.
New Brunswick Legislator Advocated
It for Province.

New Brunswick Legislator Advocated
It for Province.
A dispatch from Montreal says: In the
New Brunswick legislature Saturday after
noon George Hill createdia sensation by adj
'yocating annexation to the United States
as a remedy for the grievances which the
province complains of by reason of its de-
creased representation at Ottawa. He was
speaking on a resolution moved on Wednes-
day by Premier Tweedie, in which it is
pointed out that the original boundaries of
Quebec have been largely Increased, as was
not contemplated at the time. of confed-
Grafton, and this has been prejudicial to
the representation of other provinces.
Mr.. Hill depIored the waning influence Of
the maritime provinces at Ottawa and pre-
dicted that the day would come when New
Brunswick's representation in the federal
parliament would reach the vanishing point
by reason Of increased population OF Quebec
and the west. When that time came the
people of the lower provinces would find 1t
necessary to turn to tbs United States and
seek legislative union j.
The growing influence Of the west would
so far overshadow the. eastern provinces
that the burden would be too heavy for
these smaller provinces to bear, and redress,
he was afraid, would be obtained only by
seyering the present connection with upper
Canada.
This declaration is interesting when taken
in conjunction with Cd. Samuel Hughes
suggestion in the Ottawa house few days
ago that Canada, unIessr4 closer imperial
tie was formed, might ahavest to decide be-
tween independence and Annekation to the
United States.

KANSAS WAR ON STANDARD.
Great Convention of Oil Producers to
Discuss Plans

AT the biggest convention of the kind
ever held in the state the oil producers of
Kansas, in assemblage at Independence,
Kan. Saturday. decided upon the ways and
means for carrying on the war against the
Standard Oil Company for the next two
years
The organiza ton, effected early I'm the
winter at Topeka, ito fight for legisl alton,
was made permanent and headquarters will
be maintained here during the campaign
which is to be made before the next meet
ing of the legislature.
j. M. Parker, secretary of the state asso-
citation, will have charge of the work at
Independence, and HI. E. West, president OF
the association, will keep his headquarters
at Peru. A noticeable feature of the con-
vention was the fact that ii was more like
an assemblage of business men than a.
"gabfest"
The speeches delivered were devoted
strictly to the business end of the situa-
ton. While the Standard Oil Company was
abused to an extent which would satisfy
the bitterest enemy of the monopoly, the
producers did not lose sight of the fact that
they must act in order to win the fight
which they have started.
Gov. Hech, who arrived early. was espe-
cially well received by the oil producers
He was the center of a group of producers
every time he had spare minute.
Ida NJ. Tarbell was almost much of an
attraction the governor This Is her
first trip into the Kansas oil fields, and the
producers who are familiar with her writ
ings were very cordial in their reception to
her.
Other visitors were Senator Dumont
Smith, Representative P. p. Campbell Reps
resentative Charles F. Scott, Senator W. 8.

Treasurer Kelly, Senator Benedict, Senator
