RECIPROCITY

KipSing'B Letter Having
Little effect But Taft's
Break Hurts the Cause.
BY United FTess Wire.

ottawa, ont, Sept S.-With the
election only 13 days away the reci-
pIocity campaign is becoming increas-
ingy strenuous. Unequalled interest
Is being taken by the general public
Party lines are breaking and many
conservative farmers are prepared TO
vote for reciprocity while many lib
eral manufactures are opposing the
trade agreement with the United
States. Were the issue to depend en-
tlrely on the reciprocity pact the gov
ornment would be confident, but the
French nationalists who are opposing
the establishment pf the Canadian
navy are making some headway in
Quebec. However the maritime and
prairie provinces may do better than
usual for the government, as recpro-
city Is very popular there.
The letter OF Rudyard Kiplng,
warning Canada not TO risk its soul
for a little ready cash Is not calculat-
ed TO influence many votes against
the agreement, according to govern
ment supporters. President Tafts all
legged statement about Canada being
at the parting OF the ways caused
much more interest and Sir Wiford
Laur.ar referred to It in his speech
at Sudbury

dent Taft but we will not take our
politics from President Taft; make
