patches from all over the Dominion in

workers stood in line, eager to cast
their ballots for or against reciprocity
This was particularly true in Montre.
al, Toronto, Hamilton. Ottawa, Winni.
peg, Halifax and the larger cities.
Interest in Rural.
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 poirss came reports that the elec.
ton was proceeding quietly and or.
derly.
Nationalist Mobbed.
Oneso the closing incidentssof the
campaign was the mobbing of Henri
Hourassan, leader of the Quebec Ma.
tionalists, at st. Hyacinthe, Quebec,
where he was billed to speak last nigh!
when a crowd of about 1000 persons
waylaid him on his arrival and pelted
him with stale eggs and stones, ruin.
ing his clothes, but doing no other
damage. The incident is supposed to
be in retaliation for the hooting of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier in Montreal, by a
crowd of Bourassai sympathizers the
night before. St. Hyacinthe is dis.
trict now represented by Bourassai in
the provincial parliament and it was
supposed to be solid for the National
lists.

eral result.
