THIS WEEK Tells FATE OF
CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
Trade Agreement Has Been the
Paramount Issue of Great
Political Campaign
CBy Associated Press. }

-@~".NN~N~~~%
ST. JOHN, N. B., Sept. 1s.-Final rail-
lies in various constituencies this week
close the parliamentary campaign in this
section, where the Liberals (for reciproc-
ity) are fighting to hold the II seats
which they occupied in the last house OF
commons. and to capture from the OPP
position the other two-St. John City and
York county--which make up the 10 to
which this province is entitled. They are
predicting that they will come out OF
the contest with ~ representatives. but
admit doubt about winning York county.
1t is practically all reciprocity, for
or against, and the trade agreement has
been represented in all possible aspects.
The most marked feature of the whole
campaign. however, has been the "wav-
ing of the old flag" This has been the
Conservative appeal in great part-that
reciprocity was but a step toward an
nexation Of Canada by the Americans
and a consequent breaking of the domin-
ions political connection with the Brit
ish empire. Disloyalty has been pro-
claimed from the enlargement plat
form and preached from the press in the
appeal to the voters to defeat the reel
procity agreement
The Liberals have met this by quot
ing Conservative leaders from the days
of Sir John A. Mcdonald down, as eager
for reciprocity with the United States.
They also have contended that between
Henri Bourassa, leader of the French
Nationalist party in Quebec, and the
Conservative leaders there is practical
alliance The Nationalist fight is chief
ly made against Laurier's policy OF
Canadian navy to be at the disposal OF
Great Britain in case Of any empire
war.
The Liberals have sought to break the
Conservative disloyalty attack by stat
ing that King George is most anxious
for the peace arbitration treaty with
the United States.
The polls will open at a. m. and will
close at p. m. and two hours after
ward there should be fair indication
of the result in the eastern provinces.

EUROPE IS NO PLACE FOR
INDUSTRIOUS YOUNG MEl

er Than the Demand, Says
Selfridge

CHICAGO. Sept. 1s.-''Young man DC
not cross the Atlantic in search OF
wealth. DO not think that energy
alone as in America will win success
for you in Europe. Tine supply is
greater than the demand"
This was the comment of Harry G
Selfridge. American owner of depart
ment store in London, home for a briei
visit when asked if England would be
a good place for hustling young
American to try his fortune.
Every month scores of Britishers
ask my advice on this subject and
invariably tell them TO get out of Eu-
rope" said Mr.. Selfridge. II would
say the same thing to the American
1t is no place for the small manufac
turer, the small merchant or the mar
who wants a job. Without large and
strong organization he cannot hope fol-
much success.
THE American belongs in the new
country. He will be the empire build
er of the future. When he does begir
colonization in earnest he will realize
that he is better adapted to succeed
than the man of any other nation. He
is the best of all mixers.
