The Laurier government and reciprocity with the United
States suffered an over yhelming defeat in the Canadian elections
held Thursday.
By a vertable landslide the Liberal majority of 43 was swept
away, and the Conservative party secured one of the heaviest ma
jornies, upwards of fifty, that any Canadian party has ever had.
Seven cabinet ministers who served with Premier Laurier were
among the defeated candidates.
The Liberals lost ground in practically every province in the
Dominion. Where they won their majorities were small. Where
the Conservatives won their majorities were tremendous. Ontario,
the leading province of Canada, declared almost unanimously
against the administration and reciprocity.
Robert I. Borden, leader Of the Conservative party, will
shortly become the prime minister of Canada. He will be sup
ported in Parliament by a working majority of far more than
ample for his purposes.
The governments defeat means that the Fielding Knox reel
procity agreement, ratified by the American Congress in extra
session, will not be introduced when the twelfth Parliament assem-.
bes next month, and that a revised basis of trade with the United
States, locking to closer commercial relations, will not be possible
in the immediate future. The conservatives are committed to a
policy of trade expansion within the empire and a closed door
against the United States.

that the Borden government may equal

The only consolation the i.aurier
government is able to take out Of the
situation is that It went down to defeat
after the hardest Of lights upon one Of
the greatest issues that has ever been
placed before the Canadian electors. The
verdict is looked upon as a triumph for the

WHEAT LEADERS SAY OF DEFEAT

There is no doubt but that we have been decisively defeated.
I gladly lay down the premiership, a burden which I have carried
for fifteen years. We believed that in making the reciprocity
agreement we had done something which would be greatly to the
benefit Of the people of Canada. The electors have declared
otherwise and / bow to their decision. I regret that we have
been unable to carry reciprocity, which I still believe would have
promoted the material advancement Of Canada and would have
promoted the growing friendship between the United States and
Great Britain. However, the country has spoken. We must bow
to the inevitable, and I Cheerfully do so.'-Sr Wilfrid Laurier.
Il have Just been informed that reciprocity has failed in
Canad9. For me it is O. great disappointment. 1 had hoped that
it would be put through to prove the correctness Of my judg-
ment that it would be a good thing fer both countries.
1T takes two to make a bargain and if Canada declines we
can still go OH doing business at the old stand.
II know that some irresponsible ne Tspapers have called
me q triokster and 8 swindler and say I in some way deceived or
played unfairly with the ministers of Canada to secure the treaty
