TAFT SMILES ON,
DESPITE RESULT
Deeply Disappointed Over Re
suit of Elections in
Canada.

prise by Defeat OF
Reciprocity.
BUT HE'S A GOOD LOSER

Kalamazoo, Mich, September 2l.-
President TAFT heard the returns from
the Canadian election here tonight
while attending a banquet rendered
him by the citizens of the city
There was much speculation here
tonight as to what effect the result
OF the election will have upon Pres
ident Taft's reception in the insurgent
and agricultural States. which he soon
will visit and wlnre he has been
bitterly opposed. because OF his ad-
vocacy of the reciprocity pact.
The President unquestionably was
taken completely by surprise, and this
made his disappointment all the more
bitter. The President received the re-
turns from Canada through the Asso-
ciated Press.
When the first returns began to
come in. indicating that the Conserva-
tives had made decided gains. Mr..
TAFT remained hopeful that the results
in the western provinces would ma
terislly change the situation. AS the
Conservative victory continued to grow.
however. he gave up all hope
Mr.. Taft proved good loser. how
ever, for when he rose to speak, his
characteristic smile had not deserted
him and he spoke in happy vein for
a few minutes preceding his more Sc
rious discussion of the arbitration
treaties.
The President had confidently pre-
dicted to his friends as late as to-day
that reciprocity would win in Canada.
He had RETAINED from discussing the
Issue in any OF his public utterances
while the elections were pending in
Canada, despite the pressure that had
been brought to bear upon him since
the beginning of his present tour. This
afternoon at Battle Creek. however,
with the assurance that whatever he
might say could not be misconstrued,
inasmuch as the Dominion polls were
about to close. Mr.. TAFT launched into
reciprocity speech. He spoke with
the confidence of one who believed
victory to be IN sight.
President Taft was deeply chagrined
when the annexation bugaboo was
brought into the discussion of reci-
procity. and believes 1t had much to
do with deciding the issue in Canada.

Montreal, September 2I.-The Laurier

an overwhelming defent in the Cam

Those Opposed TO Closing Southern
Yards Preparing to Fight.
Washington, D. c., September 2I.-A
movement is said TO be afoot to CLOCK
the plan OF Secretary Meyer prac-
tically to close some of the smaller
Southern navy yards and stations in
the interest OF economy. At present
appropriations for the actual mainten-
snce of the navy yards and docks are
made in a lump sum. and Il is left to
the Secretary or the Navy TO disburse
this among the different yards in his
discretion. The appropriation for the
current fiscal year under the head of
maintenance was SI,2so,000.
Opponents or the secretary's plan are
expected to urge that instead OF max
ing this lump appropriation Congress
shall specify the exact amount OF
money TO be expended at each yard
and station for maintenance. This
would deprive the secretary OF any dis
cretionary power.
