Reports have reached the senator
from Michigan that both ne and SEN

Senator Smith had long conference
with President Taft this week. The
return of the president from his Chi
cago trip with renewed determination
10 drive his Canadian agreement
through the senate gives rise To the
rumor that Senator Smith was sum-
moned to the White House with re-
gard to his own vote on reciprocity.

for opposing the measure and regards
him as one who by virtue of hfs at
