CANADA VOTES TODAY
No. ~


After weeks of campaigning and
speech making, the vote which shall
decide whether the reciprocity agree
ment over which our Congress fought
so long will be adopted by the Cana
dams is being taken today. Sir Will
frid Laurier, the Premier. like Presi-
dent Taft, has been the chief advo-
cate of the measure. and the indica-
tons are that the liberal majority
will be sufficient to make the pass
age of the agreement an easy mat
ter in the new parliament.
FIGHTING FOR HIS POLICIES
President Taft has entered strenu-
ously upon his great campaign-a
fifteen thousand mile trip through
the west-the purpose of which is
to create public sentiment in favor
of his policies. He has already made
a number of speeches. The first cf
importance at the state fair in New
York, the next before the Chamber
Of Commerce, Detroit. The New York
speech was non-political being a
plea for better farming methods, con-
servation, etc. At Detroit he launch
ed into a defense of the Sherman
Antitrust law and the trust decisions
of the Supreme Court, answering the
courts critics as well as his own and
declaring against any revision Of the
law. In one of the speeches he also
pied for the adoption Of the arbitra-
ton treaties by the Senate. and sus-
gested a concession to the. Senate
which may be valuable in securing
their support.
WILEY INDICATED
DIR. Harvey w. Wiley. pure food ex-
pert of the Bureau of Chemistry in
the Department of Agriculture, who
was recommended for dismissal by
the Attorney General after reviewing
the action OF the committee of the
Department, was exonerated by Presi-
dent Taft In letter to the Depart
ment just before he began his west
ern tour. The President has no word
of criticism for DIR. Wiley but much
of praise for his stand against the
food adulterators. A sentence In his
letter on the other hand Is ominous
for the Department as 1t indicates as
the result OF Investigations now in
progress that there may be a COM
plete reorganization. 1t is thought
that Secretary Wilson himself will
have to step down and out.
