a formal proclamation issued on the
eye of the election says the prospects
never looked brighter for a return Of
the Conservatives 10 power.
What makes forecast of the result
difficult is the fact that great many
Liberals have openly deserted their party
on the reciprocity issue. They have done
this not because they have been appre-
hensive of the immediate results of reci-
procity with the United States, should the
agreement be ratified. but because they
fear this would be but a start toward
general letting down of the tariff bars in
Canada The manufacturing interests
have come out almost as a unit against
the agreement and have been supported
by banking and financial interests in con-
| siderable measure Special appeals have
been made by employers TO their en-
ployes to vote against reciprocity.
