Bisbee daily review., 1911-08-26

NtSeOifSu anu the question or recfprOc- iS with the United States was thrown before the people a political warfare has been growing in Eastern Canada which in point of hostility to the pres ept administration suggests to some observers the feverlsh spirit of re- beiiion which so recently drove Diaz from the Mexico he had made.
 Although the general elections throughout the Dominion will no. be held until Sept 2i. there is already as much excitement in the Maritime provinces ss one sees in the most hsreely contested precincts of New York City during the whirlwind cam paigns of the last few days before eiec- tion.Professional men-lawyers, doc tors, teachers. &c.--born in Canada, but now residents of the large cities ofthe United States, where, as a rule, they never take out naturalization p4pers, are coming home On every train to spend their vacations working in the campaign for or against reel pfocity and to cast their votes in the towns they still call home. Meetings are being held day and night; speech es. are being made by the leaders of both parties. Conservative and Lib eral; bitter denunciations and person. al, l,attacks are indulged in: rallies are sometimes disrupted: brass bands aBd British banners are working over time. and President Taft and Sir Will fred Laurier are the objects of fierce philippics.
 Annexation Cry.
 A visitor from the United States stands amazed at the extent to which the Conservatives have carried the ers of annexation. A local newspaper in, New Brunswick carries in big tyne above it's front page heraidry every dsv this query: Under Which Flag. the Union Jack or the Stars and Sffipes9" Cartoons showing Canada in. an abject position under rule of the United States are common; cam psign slogans and war-cries hurlihg inyoctives upon the government at Ottawa, have fired the minds of old and young alike, and even school ohil- d-en have begun to take a hand in what will be one of the most extra oFdinary political campaigns in the history Of Canada.
 sThe leading local organ of the Con- sevatives, The Moncton Daily Times, appeared yesterday morning with dou- Dte-column display on it's front page.
  contribution by a schoolboy, in which appear such remarkable statements. as follow "The Yankee press says tkey will annex us fcrcibly If we dol net grant reciprocity. They will find that the Canadian people are just as g.od fighters now as ever they were. he man who goes back on the Mother Country now is a vile traitor and not worthy of the name of Cana dian" Such a man who casts vote on the 21st of September in favor of a I4RBrieT candidate is a +rai4a- tn Canado and 6islnral snl-I jeet to his majesty"
 A Laurier Is Stirred.
 With such goings on it is not sur prising thas Sir Wilfred Laurfer. prime minister. has determined to come to the Maritime provinces and take up the cUdgels Of war in his own defense. He has arranged a tour o'' the entire eastern country and vii appear before the people and per sonaily explain the motive which prompted him 10 take up the reciproc ity treaty with President Taft and analyze the agreement from an eco homie standpoint His political friend and ally. the Hon. Henry R. Emmer son. IOItUGIlN IfIllnlEA OAnAAltGC1OlAEI of Railways, who is a candidate for parliament as Liberal from this dis trict. was here today, arranging witt local Liberals for big rally Monday night. Joseph A. Bnurque, secretary of the local Liberal club. has engaged the largest skating rink in town for the LauTier meeting later on.
 He says that in spite of the vitu- perative campaign of the Conserva. lives, if not in fact possibly because of it, the Liberals will carry recLpTOc- ity in New Brunswick by a larger majority than they carried 1t in the Dominion election of 1908 DT O. B. Price, president of the loca' Conservative club, however, is just as DositiFe that inc Conservatives with the new anti-reciprocity strins 10 their bow will sweep not only New I3runsw wick but ali the Maritime prov inces. He is, himself, making speech es throughout this part Of the coun- try against reciprocity.
 Borden HUrries Forth.
 R. l.. Brsen, Conservative leader f the entire Dmininn, is now in the cen traI sections. but. learning of Sir VII fred Laarier's intention to invade the Maritime provinces has headed this way. He will make speeches in all the towns where Sir Wilfred will ad- dress the people. In advance Of these speeches Mr Borden has just issued Q manifesto iD which he with more re- straint than many of his helpers. puts reeiprocity forth as the main issue asd tells why, in his opinion, 1t vii vssrk 0 the ruin of. Canada This manifesto is being widely distributed by the active Conservatives in the eastern provinces. In it. Mr. Borden thus outlines the menace Of reciproc- ist.

 sIt shatters the ideal and hope of rsciprocity within the Empire. The pzesident of the United States has asOwed that the main purpose with vsIieh he sought the treaty was 10 u-erent consolidation Of fhe British
