CANADA ELECTS
LAURIER PREMIER
Majority Reduced From What II Was
five Years Ago.
Conservatives Lose Out in Ontario.
Where They Expected TO Make
crsstsst Gair s-QUebec Vii Send
an Almost Sill Liberal Mem
bsrship.

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 27.-Elections
for the Federal house Of commons were
held yesterday throughout Canada. Of
the POI constituencies in the dominion
only two Rouville, Ont, and South
York, Ont. returned members by ae-
clamation. In all the others. with the
exception Of FIVE, which will hold their
elections later, there were contests.
The returns show that Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the present ppremier, who in
the last house had a majority Of Sc,
will be returned to the house for anoth-
er five years, with a majority Of be-
tween S. and so.
French Canadian Quebec remained
loyal to the premier, eiecting a mem
bership almost solidly Liberal.
Ontario, where the Conservatives ex-
pected TO make their heaviest gains,
did not come up to the opposition's ex-
pectations. The returns indicate an
almost evenly divided membership,
compared with 80 Liberals and AZ
Conservatives in the last house.
Nova Scotia, which at the last gen
eral elections in 1904 returned solid
Liberal phalanx, gives the Conserva-
tive party several seats.
R. L. Borden, leader Of the Conserv-
atives, was elected by a substantial
majority in Halifax, which supported
him four years ago. All the minis
tiers have been reelected with the ex-
ception of William Templeton, Of Vic.
toria, 3. c., minister Of inland reve
nue., who lost by FIVE votes.

down Of 500 mills as the result ouf the
cotton trade lock out has reduced the

industry, is the first Of the cotton
towns TO feel the pinch Of the lockout.

tives who have their lock out pay from
their unions to fall back on who are
beginning to feel the pressure Of the
Industrial warfare, but the shOpkeep-
ers, particularly at the small shops,
who depended on the custom Of the
mill girls
No one has the heart TO buy anything
short Of actual necessities. No new
dresses are being made in Oldham just
now, and dressmakers are reducing the
number OF their workroom hands. and
the milliners' shops, Of which the fe-
mails cotton operative was the generous
patron, are deserted

Reno, New, Oct 26.-Reno viii re-
main a wide open town for some time
to come, according to the result of the
city election held here Saturday, when
the gambling element won by major
ity of sec votes out Of a total of about
8, 100 votes cast. The election was on
a city ordinance to forbid the running
of gambling games under license in the
city OF Reno. The ordinance was put
TO the city vote upon the petition Of
the Anti-Gambling league, who made
a red not fight at the polls
The league opened headquarters
about two months ago and has worked
diligently ever since, holding mass
meetings and spreading literature
broadcast and through the mails The
gambling fraternity worked quietly,
but the result shows they worked
effectively. The defeat Of the ordi-
nance is partly due to the feeling that
gambling should be stopped throughout
the state and not alone in Reno.
The fight will be carried into the
legislature at the coming session
