cast q spell irresistible and uncon-

These are questions that have come
to the mind of those who were asso-
ciated with Bradshaw and who were
familiar with his surroundings.
Bradshaw was one of the executors
Of the estate of Robert Crawford
Smith. whose death in 1907 precipi.
tated a long-drawn legal battle in
which the heirs were arrayed on one
side against formidable host of spir.
itualists. mediums, believers and fol-
lowers on the other.
During the later years of his life,
Smith had been a devout worshiper at
the spiritualistic shrine and spent
much time and more money in at.

OTTOWA. Ont, Sept. 2O.-The hot.

witnessed since the days of Sir John
Macdonald and the National Policy

the country will express their political

Sir Wilfred Laurier, has been in Of

frid stands sponsor

reciprocity bill will be passed soon
after the reassembltng of parliament

The polls will be open at 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning and close at
o'clock in the afternoon. Unless the
voting at large is unusually close it Is
expected that the outcome will be
known by 10 y. m. (Atlantic time).

ed. Upon the whole, .disinterested OBJ
servers seem inclined to the opinion
that the government will carry the
country by a reduced majority.
The claims of the two sides on the
eve of the election are about as fol.
lows: The Opposition declare they

ward Island. in Quebec. Ontario, Man.
itoba and British Columbia, while Sas-
katchewan and Alberta will remain
with the government as at present.
The Liberals, on the contrary, main
tain that they will increase their pres
ent large majority in the French-C Can
adam sections of Qubec and the Mari
time Provinces, and will make gains
in Ontario and throughout the West.
Practically the reciprocity agree
ment with the United States has been
the sole issue OF the campaign. The
Liberal press and Liberal speakers
have argued it's material advantages,
while the Opposition has denied its
material advantages and denounced
the compact as inimical to the COM
mercial unity and national indepen-
dence of Canada, as a movement to.
wards Continentalism. and as a far
step towards separation from the
mother country.
The Conservative campaigners have
confiped themselves largely to the sen.
timental side of the reciprocity ques
ton. The British flag, the mainten
ance af British connection unweaken
ed. i'd protests against closer rela
tions with the United States have
formed the basis of the Conservative
speeches. The Liberals, on the other
hand, have sought to keep the fiscal
aspect Of reciprocity to the front and
have secuted as absurd the cOnten
ton of the Conservatives that recipro
city will lead Canada away from En-
gland and to the United States.
1t is conceded that If the Conserva
tives have succeeded in convincing q
majority of the electors that recipro
city tends toward annexation the gov
eminent will be defeated. 1t likewise
seems certain that II the Government
speakers have satisfied the voters that
annexation is impossible the Govern
ment will be returned by a substantial
majority and the reciprocity agree
ment ratified.
The French Canadian province OF

SCIENCE OF CITY BUILDING

There are certain cities. big and
small. that are deserving the Topsy
method Of Just growing. says Harper's
Weekly. They are being gently and
persistentiy pushed along toward
greatness. To use an invidIous meta,
phor. they are picking factories from
their less wakeful neishbors and
planting them in their own towns;
they are causing the transfer Of hun
dreds OF millions OF dollars worth Of
business from the somnolent cities
and. In lis time Of reforms. are
boasting Or their remarkable progress
In population.
The way the thing 10 done may be
aptly illustrated by the manner In
which Poughkeepsie obtained an auto
mobile factory. The secretary read
In a newspaper that an Italian com.
pany was thinking of locating Q fac

for the owners to have a chance to
look the country over and decide for
themselves. the secretary pounced

talked It hard and convincinsly. He
invited them to como up and see the
place. and when he got them took
them all over the town and showed
them the schools and churches. the
parks and workingmen's houses. told
them about the railroad facilities aud
rates. Then he took them TO the very
spot that he had picked out in ad.
vance where they could build. He
pictured the factory to them. pointed
to the homes their men would live In.
told them how low the taxes were and
how healthful was the air. when
they went awsy the visitors had ev.

throbbing In their heads I'm 100 differ

strnightway came back and built
