ence Of reciprocity in Canada has been
sIrlklnglv similar to the treatment it
received in the United States. The dis
sowing OF parliament by premier Lau-
rler, when a vote was seen to be i'm
possible, so that the matter could be
put up to the new parliament that viii
oe elected Thursday, parallels the con-
dlt1on in the states when president
Taft called the extraordinary session
OF congress that had a different per
sonnet from the one that failed to
ratifby the measure.
Much Mud Singing.
The opposition to the pact showed
itself alike in Canada and the United
States at the moment the NEGOTIATIONS
between the two countries were opeDed.
The fight waLed more bitter as the
contest progressed. Sarcasm and in
TectiTe were employed, personalities
were made arguments. Every capable
speaker and writer in the dominion
was found on one side or the other
every trick and resource Of the
schemer, the politician and the dfplo-
mat was used. Fighting has been done
both above board and beneath the
surface, each side viufying the other
and its methods.
The actual contest dates from Ian
uary p, when an agreement was
reached between the commissioners of
the two countries, which broadcasted
the text Of the treaty resulting from
the many conferences. The agreement
was reached at Washington and the
announcement was made Simultaneous
" from Washington and Ottawa. The
Canadian minister of finance. w. S.
Fielding, and the American secretarv
Of state, Philander c. Knox. who had
been most prominent In the negotia-
tons, had finished their active part in
the campaign for reciprocity when the

Immediately lined up in its favor, while
the Conservatives opened their fight
against It. 1t was soon found that
majority Of the members would vote
for the treaty, but also that IT was
possible for the CONSERVATIVES to pre-
vent consideration of it. Premier Lau-

was unable even to have vote called

delivered an ultimatum on July "A that

voters. This he did on July %.
The election campaign was started
the following day by the premier s
open letter, pleading to the people Of
the dominion TO vindicate the present
government in its stand for reciprocity

said it would benefit Canada.
