liberals and conservatives are actively
engaged in preparations TO bring out
their full vote and a final distribution Of
cash for legitimate expenses Is being
made today. The Canadian law forbids
a political party to hire vehicles to con-
vey electors to the polls, but the use of
conveyances of all kinds is being donated
for the work.
The elections will be held in IA of the
221 constituencies. Three liberals al
ready have been elected by acclamation
They are Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Quebec,
east; j. A. Either, Two Mountains
and William NJ. German, Welland county,
Ontario.

iprocity, however. In four other districts
the elections have been deferred. These
are Gaspe, Chicoutimi-Sag Quebec;
Thunder Bay and Rainy River, Ont, and
the Yukon.
Final Instructions to Workers.
HALIFAX, n. s., Sept. 2O.-Politicians
were everywhere active today. Final in
struct!ons were sent to the political
workers today and complete arrange
ments for getting out a heavy vote to-
morrow were made by both parties. The
liberals are making determined attempt
to defeat Robert L. Borden, the conser-
vative leader, and that gentleman has
been devoung much time TO the situa-
ton IN Halifax city and county, which
comprise his constituency.
Hon. w. S. Fielding, finance minister of
Canada and Premier Laurier's lieutenant,
who was largely instrumental in perfect
ing the reciprocity agreement, is having
a stiff fight in the Queen Shelburne dis
trict, at the southern extremity of the
province The financial minister is op-
posed by +, B. McCurdy Of Halifax.
1t has been reported that several hun
dred empl oyes OF American fishing firms
which are opposed TO reciprocity will
vote conservative in Nova Scotia tomor-
row. Many of these fishermen are resi-
dents OF Minister Fielding district. The
liberal leaders however, say they will
not be injured by the fishermen vote, as
many Of the fishermen are in favor of
the party. The Anglican archbishop OF
Ruperts Land, S. p. Mstheson, primate
OF Canada, and Rev. Charles Hamilton,
archbishop of Ottawa, acting for all the
bishops of the church in Canada, have
Issued an appeal to the voters OF the
Dominion. The appeal concludes:
The bishops desire at this time TO re-
mind men OF all political views and par
ties that political purity is one of the es-
sential foundation stones on which ma
tional greatness and prosperity must rest.
and in particular that to buy or sell a
vote is to act the part Of a traitor TO
your country and to invite the just con
tempt and condemnation OF all good men,"

Of the United States between the
producer and the consumer, the
greater part OF which falls on the
farmer. or this, one-third OF $i5,-
