ELECTION IN CANADA.
1t Is Being Held Amidst a Driving
Rain.

Winnipeg, Man, Oct. ga heavy
rain fell all day Sunday and is still
falling. accompanied by cold north
wind, making conditions the very worst
in western Canada for the polling of
votes today In the general election for
the members of the commons at Otta-
wa. The roads in some instances are
said to be impossible, depriving many
farmers of an opportunity to exercise
their franchise. The contest has been
waged with unusual bitterness. The
liberal government has been attacked
for granting timber limits and graz
ing leases in the west to favorites or
those having pull" but the govern
ment is relying on being sustained on
it's railway policy in the completion of
the Grand Trunk Pacific railway from
eastern Canada to the Pacific coast and
the building of a railway to Hudson
Bay.
There are Sc seats west of the great
lakes, Manitoba, Alberta and British
Columbia probably will divide their
representations between the two par
ties, but Saskatchewan ten seats will
likely go solidly for the government.
There are five deferred elections, three
in British Columbia, one in Saskathche-
wan and one in Yukon. Candidate Root
has been running in Reddock, Alberta,
is a cousin of United States Secretary
of State Root. Many hundreds of for
mer citizens of the United States will
cast their first votes as British subjects
and their influence will likely be felt
against the governments candidates in
several constituencies. Charges of graft
have been making deep impression on
this class of farmers in western Can
ada. The contest in Winnipeg and
Manitoba is most bitter. The present
Robin government is warmingly oppos-
ing the return of Laurier to power and
several hundred provincial constables
were sworn in Saturday night to guard
the polls. At the same time the Domin-
ion government sent a large body of
constables out to protect booths claim
ing that the Manitobr. government can
exercise no authority at the polls this
election.
D. c. Cameron. the millionaire lum-
Der man. is the government candidate
in Winnipeg.

Grace of Binghamton, Mr. Mack said
he guessed the president was trying to
keep the minds of the people off their
demand to open the books of the adj

not want a change of administration
because If there comes a change the
books will be opened and the whole
work of the Republican administration
for the past IL years will be shown
up, said Mr.. Mack.
Discussing business conditions, Mr..
Mack declared that the Republicans
evidently wanted to continue the
panic.
Things have been bad enough for
the past year, but they continue to
howl that things will be worse If
Bryan is elected. Things cen't be
worse than they have been. and it is
certain they will mend after Bryan is
elected sand Mr.. Mack"
AS far as the election in New York
state was concerned, Mr.. Mack said
that he had no reason to alter his
opinion and he added that after Mr..
Bryan finished his tour of the state
matters would look brighter than ever
Mr. Mack's estimate was that the
following states would give their vote
to Bryan:
