CANADA CONFRONTED BY
STARTLING NEW SITUATION

Montreal, Sept. 22.-Canada awak-
ened today confronted by a startling
new situation, developed from the fact
that reciprocity with the United States
has been rejected, that the Laurier
government has been defeated and that
Mr.. r. L. Bordn will soon be called
upon to form a conservative ministry.
That the changes enacted during the
past tweaty -four hours by the regis
tration of the will of the electorate are
radical is shown by the overwhelming
majority whereby the voters turned
down tAe. agreement which I1aurier had
MAIDS with the United States for the
mutual removal Of duties on food and
other natural products, by the defeat of
seven cabinet ministers out of thir-
teen who went to the polls and by the
political landslide which will retire to
private life Sir Wilfrid Laurier, ac-
knowledged to be one OF the biggest
figures in the British empire.
ONE PROVINCE FAITHFUL.
Out of the Canadian provinces, only
Quebec, Laurier's native place, came
anywhere near remaining faithful to
him and Quebec did not do any too
well. Ontario, the greatest of the
provinces, dealt Lahrier terrible blow,
going almost solidly against him, and
the same may be said Of Manitoba and
British Columbia, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, two wheat at-raising provinces,
gave a mild support to the cause of
reciprocity.
The result by provinces, as expressed
in the returns received up to a late
hour TODAY follow.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Foodstuffs. which
might have been affected by the in
hux OF Canadian products had Laurier
and his government not been defeated
In Canada yesterday, rose sharply In
price at ell American supply centers
today. Wheat lead the advance, fol-
lowed by flour. Oats, too, felt the ef-
feet Of the Canadian vote, and con-
sumers may expect soon to pay in
creased prices for breakfast foods.
Today's developments and trading
In the pits added force to the recent
advances In coffee and sugar and the
cost Of toast, biscuit, wheat cakes and
porridge will probably be added to the
woes Of housekeepers. Experts say
the Canadian reciprocity had no di-
rect effect upon meat products and il
is unlikely the cost of lard, bacon and
ham will be more.
Wheat jumped UP as much as Z Is
cents a busheL That was the extreme
rise for May delivery. Most of the
trading took place at a much less ad-
vance. running down to / 3-S cents.
Considerable excitement was shown in
oats, too, the latter making a gain Of
/ to / 1-2 cents.
So lively was the trading that it
was impossible to follow Individual
operations.
May delivery of wheat went to
s1.03 3-4 against $1.01 SIS at the close
last night. May oats sold at 40 1-2
cents compared with AZ Us at the
wind up.
It was general gossip that an in
crease of 25 to 35 cents a barrel on
-four would be inevitable

PEORIA NJ, Sept. 22.-President Taft
had q heart-to-heart talk here today
with the leaders of the different Re-
publican factions in Illinois, defined
his status as 70 prosressiveness.
pleaded guilty to being a poor poll
tician, acknowledged again that his
ambition had lain in the direction of
the ONCE Of chief justice rather than
the presidency and admitted he un-
doubtedly had made many mistakes,
but Asserted that as president he had
tried to do what he thought was best
and right What the future held for
him he did not known, but he would
10 ahead doing the best he could.
Taft declared he was not allied with
the extremists OF his party, either
conservatives or progressives, but had
tried to take a place In the middle
ground between the two.
The speech of the president was one
OF the most significant and interesting
OF his trip so far. Taft was in q seri-
Gus mood, and declared that while II
might not be so for a time the people
in the end would distinguish between
facts and fustian. and would recognize
the difference between substance in
progress and platform declarations
written for campaign purposes only.
President Taft was still downcast
BY the defeat of the reciprocity agree
nnenf IN Canada, but his only refer
gnco TO- that subject had come earlier
IN the cay when speaking to the
workfnknnen he said: 'T was sorry
20 hear that In Canada they do not
care to have closer commercial rela-
tions with us. If reciprocity had been
adopted we would have got our agri-
cultural implements into Canada at a
substantial decrease, but ! guess we
can get along"
In regard to HIS recent vetoes Taft
said the reason he had vetoed them
was that the Republican party had
taken the position 1t was necessary to
maintain the industries OF this coun-
try by pf0tection sufhcient to give
them q living method OF competing
with foreign manufacturers, and that
tha raxkx bad said II approved finding
out facts BY the tariff board before II
passed legislation that might strike
down the industries. He said: 4
would have vetoed those bills under
any condition, even II 1t would have
cost me my life"
