RECIPROCITY IS
LOST IN CANADA
laurler Hinistry Is Over
wnelE1innIy Tnlaa444cated Tnla44ted

Toronto, Ont, Sept. 22.-Canada has
rejected the United States offer of
reciprocity. By an overwhelming vote
in all parts of the Dominion the
Laurier government, which submitted
the Taft-Felding agreement to the
people In a general election, was swept
out of Office.
The Conservatives have come in
with a majority Of not less than
thirty-f1ve. R. L. Borden will be called
upon to form a government and to be-
come prime minister in place Of Sir
Wnfrid Laurier, the Canadian states
man who has governed Canada for
fifteen years. The Liberal party hay
ing just returned to almost forgotten
Liberal low tariff principles by adyo-
eating better trade relations with the
United States Is smashed. The Con
servative party, with workable ma
jortty, enters on high tariff plat
form, avowedly undesirous Of reci-
procity with the United States. The
victory Is a triumph for the Canadian
manufacturers who asked the country
to stand pat on its present prosperity.
It means there viii be no lower prices
for food in the United States II the
Americans depend on reciprocity with
Canada.
The election has aroused tremen-
dous amount of interest, the polling
being the heaviest on record. Immense
crowds are outside the newspaper Of
fees in Montreal and in every other
city in the Dominion watching for the
returns as they come in.
A remarkable feature of the election
is that Hon. W. 8. Fielding, minister Of
finance, and Hon William Paterson.
minister of customs, the two men who
put through the reciprocity agreement,
are both beaten, and other cabinet min
listers who are defeated include Hon.
George Graham, minister of railways,
and Sir Frederick Borden, minister OF
militia; Mackenzie King. minister OF
labor, and Jacques Bureau, solicitor
general, almost a clean sweep of the
cabinet
Later returns show that 116 Con-
servatives and seventy-four Liberals
have been elected. There are twenty
two more seats to hear from.

WANT CARS ON
STATE STREET
Improvement Assn. Asks
c. - 20 Resume.

Since the Jersey Central Traction
Company discontinued running their
cars to the Woodbridge Creek Bridge
residents of South Amboy and vicin-
ity together with the State street I'M
proyement Association Of this city
have banded together to ascertain
the cause of the discontinuance OF
the service and If possible try to per
suade the company to rescind their
order and give State street service
the same as during the past summer.
The State street merchants through
their attorney Thomas Brown are
after the company claiming great
injustice is being done them and
they want Immediate relief. The
merchants on the thoroughfare claim
that they lose a certain percentage of
business that comes from residents of
South Amboy and Keyport.
On the other hand complaint comes
from commuters from South Amboy
and vicinity who claim that they are
charged an extra fare if they work
at any of the Maurer factories. From
South Amboy they pay one fare TO
this city, but the Jersey Central cars
carry them only as far as the ferry.
To reach their destination they are
forced to pay another nickel.
1t is claimed that over 100 work
men use the trolley line form South
every morning, all Of whom are
forced to take another car at State
and Smith streets. In the evening
the same course of travel must be ad-
hered to. The merchants want i'm
mediate relief and to this end COM
plaint will be forwarded to the Off
GERS of the Traction Company.
When vice-president Brown, Of the
company was called this morning he
could not be found, but another Off
ciaI when told of the story discredited
he assertion of the commuters saying
that the registers on the cars be-
tween this city and South Amboy did
not warrant the company giving ser
vice to the Woodbridge creek bridge.

TAFT LOST
his SMILE
OVER NIGH T
President Is Very Gloomy as
a Result of Yesterdays
Election in Canada.
REACHES PEORIA, ILL, ON
TRIP THROUGH WEST
spsctal BIZ United Press Rtrs.


Peoria, Ill, Sept. 22:-The ghost
of gloom pitched on the corpse Of
reciprocity was the unwelcome guest
on President Taft's special train
when it reached here today. Peoria
was ablaze with enthusiasm but the
presidential party brought little en-
thusiasm with it. The Taft smile
was replaced by an expression Of
sober seriousness and his usual light
step was dull and heavy. All the joy
of the past trip was snuffed out at
Kalamazoo by the declaration that
the policy which the President has
declared the most important of bis
administration had been rejected by
Canada.
Il had looked for a different re-
suit" said the President mournfully,
"but it takes two to make bargain
and of course If Canada declined to
accept this agreement we must go
on doing business at the same stand,
but ] am deeply disappointed"
Taft was confident to the last that
Laurier and his allies could carry
Canada for the reciprocity pact. So
confident was he that he predicted at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon that
the benefits of reciprocity would be
realized in eighteen months. The
early returns from Canada, which
indicated the downfall of reciprocity,
did not worry him, but amid the
bright lights and gay music of the
banquet in his honor at Kalamazoo
his wide, round smile disappeared
into a grave, serious look as the final
word came that settled the fate OF
the pact
Up to today not a day has passed
that the Taft audiences had not
clamored for speech on reciprocity
and the President had declared, 81
will talk reciprocity after the Cana.
dian election" The election is over
Reciprocity has been defeated. I'm
doubtedly, however, the demands fol
reciprocity speeches will continue
What the President will say in reply
to that demand was the bothersome
problem today. L4hat tbs. Presidents

advantage in the event of the defea

Democrats Are Pleased.

Special by United Press WTe.
Washington, Sept. 22:-Demo-
cratic sentiment in the Canadian
reciprocity returns is reflected in
statements made today by Senator
Bailey, of Texas, and Representative
Simms, Of Tennessee.
"The United States is to be con-
graduated" This was the comment
by Senator Bailey, who voted against
reciprocity in the senate and led the
small Democratic band of its sento-
rial opponent.
President Taft knows today how
1t feels to be vetoed" said Simms.
'"The President vetoed the Democra-

to pass which he called congress into
an extraordinary session.
