HEAVY VOTE BEING
POLLED IN CANADA
UPON RECIPROCITY
Fate of the Great international
Trade Issue Will BE Decided
by Six O'Clock Thursday
Evening


MONTREAL. Canada. Sept 1.-Dis-
patches from all over the Dominion indi
cate one of the largest votes ever cast
before the opening of the polls voters
stood in line. eager to cast their ballots
for or against reciprocity.
Interest in the rural districts was not
less keen than that in the centers of
population. and it is upon the heavy
farmer vote that the government is
chiefly depending for success
From all points came the report that
the election was proceeding quietly and
orderly.
One OF the closing incidents Of the
campaign was the mobbing of Henri
Bourassa, leader of the Quebec Nation
ahsts, at st. syacinthe. Quebec. where
he was billed to speak, last night. A
crowd of about 1000 persons waylald him
on his arrival and pelted him with stale
eggs. running his clothes but doing no
other damage.
The incident is supposed to be in re-
taliation for the hooting OF sir wilfrid
Laurier in Montreal by a crowd of
Bourassa sympathizers the night before
st. Syacinthe is the district now rep
resented by Bourassa in the provincial
parliament and 1T was supposed to be
solid for his party.
Two Of the most active workers in the
conservative organization, Dusty Holz
