RECIPROCITY REvIvING.

A few days ago ar election was
held in the province of Saskatche-
wan, Canada, which, according to
the latest returns at hand, show that
forty liberals and eight conservatives
we're elected and that -four seats are
vet in doubt. The conservative lead
ers brought the reciprocity question
into the election and were over
whelmingly defeated. This is almost
a reversal of the result OF the cleo
ton last year when the Laurier adj
ministration was defeated.
Incidentally it should be mem
hered that the reciprocity pact is in
force in this country should Canada
decide to accept it. Efforts have
been made to repeal it. but so far
they have not been successful. Sen
timent in Canada seems to be turn
ing sharply about on the question
and if the Saskatchewan election is
q fair criterion of the Dominion. it
will not be long before the Borden
ministry will be overthrown on the
issue which swept it int power.
1t would seem that it were time to
close the door and back out of the
blunder this nation made while we
can do so without complications. 1t
seems the sheerest folly to stand
begging Canada to come over and
lake the American farmers market
without recompense.

Sees Vtctory for Clark in 1916.

Sees Victory for Clark in 1915.
Champ Clark is adored by the
house of representatives as a body"
said Representative Lafferty. "Wheth-
err a member be new or old, democrat,
republican. progressive or socialist. he
knows that both as an individual and
as h representative of his district
he will get a square deal at h hands
of the speaker.
The circumstances of Clark's de-
feat at Baltimore are bound to arouse
an overwhelming sentiment for his
vindication. If Clark lives and retains
his vigor he will sweep the democratic
presidential primaries from ocean to
ocean four years hence. Clark had
the nomination already. as a moral
proposition. A majority had voted for
him on eight ballots. Bryan was in
state to vote for Clark. Bryan. in his
ment of a two-thirds majority vas
archaic and undemocratic, and ought
to be abolished. He had declared that
when any candidate received a ma
joritN of the votes he was entitled to
he then nominated by reclamation.
1T was not the duty of Clark, as a
candidate for president, to refuse to
accept the votes of the duly elected
delegates of any sovereign state, and
no one knew that better than Mr..
Bryan. His pretext was puerile, and
palpably false.
Il stand for progressive laws. and I
defy Mr.. Bryan or any one else to
h contrary. But ] resent the
treatment handed out to Mr.. Clark at
Baltimore"

FIGURING ON TIL. RESULT.

Those who look with complainant
assurance on the election of President
raft and who feel assured that the
bird party movement will only he a
flash in the pan" need to get down
% actual figures. The threatened
danger Of democratic policies nut
into effect is far greater han is gem
orally supposed. OF course any es-
innate of the strength of the two
factions of the republican party in
any state is rank guesswork. Not
even the Vote between the Taft n
Roosevelt forces in the ~pre-conven-
ton primaries can be used for an
intelligent basis for the alignment
has changed. especially in the east
ern states since the Chicago conven-
ton. But some deductions Fan he
made that are at least interesting.
In the six strong Roosevelt states
of Minnesota. Iowa. PENNSYLVANIA.
West Virginia, California and Illi-
nois there are n hundred thirteen
electoral votes. The figures below
are those of the presidential election
four years ago-the last time the
party strength was recorded. In
round thousands tho vote in Mime
sofa for Bryan was 100. 900; for Taft,
$4,000. Now if the democrats poll
the full party strength and the two
republican factions have candidates
for presidential electors in the field,
and the republican vote We're evenly
divided between these two. it would
give the democrats n majority over
either of fifteen thousand. Putting it
~~~St,o -.o,. 1,- --r,II;,o. T.-<:-
would only have to poll forty-fve
per cent of the republican vote to
defeat the party and cleo, demo-
cratic electors.
What is true of Minnesota is true
of the other five states, the only diff
ference being in the percentages re-
auired to defeat both sets of repub-
lican electors. The vote in Iowa for
Bryan was 100000; for Taft. 275,000.
In this state if one faction polled
thirty per cent of the republican
vote the democratic electors would
be elected. In Pennsylvania Bryan
polled $4,000 votes; Taft. $4,000.
a little more than thirty per cent
polled by the third party will give the
democrats the electoral vote of that
state. In West Virginia Bryan
polled ILL., 900 votes: Taft, $4,000.
a change of twenty rel cent will
give that state to the democrats. In
California Bryan polled 10000 votes;
Taft. 214.0G0. A change of a little
more than forty per cen will turn
that state over to the democrats. In
Illinois Bryan polled 100000 votes:
Taft, 100000. A change of thirty
per cent will give that states cleo
toral vote TO the democrats.
With the two factions of the re-
publican party arrayed against each
other in these states it is not inn
probable that the weaker one will be
able to secure the percentage OF
votes indicated, thus leaving the
democrats with the electoral vote.
When to these conditions are added
the facts that in 1908 Taft carried
Missouri over Bryan by 72a; Mary
land by 6o4; Delaware by 3,0+3, and
Nevada by 437. and that these -four
states have thirty-two electors tbs
LANCER TO the republican party is
apparent.
1t looks like fifty cent wheat was
almost an assured fact.

Senator Bristow.s History.

Senator Bristow was conversing with
a party of Kansas politicians. Stories
We're being told by the different men

of Independence day, when he was
discussing the troops under CORVALLIS

''Blanc's wife, o know, whenever

would wake up her husband and say:
"'Oh. John, there are burglars
downstairs! Don't you hear them .
Oh, what shall we do?'
"But Blanc hit at last upon an idea
hat he thought would compose his
wife permanently.
Look here he said. you can rest
assured those noises aren't burglars.
Burglars work in absolute silence. You
never hear a sound from Them"
Senator Bristow smiled.
And now" he said. Mrs. Blanc
wakes her husband up in a blue panic
whenever there's no noise"

POLICE FIGHT
STRIKE MOB
Men Dragged from Bridges
and Thrown in River.

Hackcnsack, y. J., May 22.-Two
hundred of The invading army Of strik-
ers from Bloomfield and Passaic, who
have terrorized the laborers of Lynd-
hurst and Rutherford, swooped down
upon rutherford and Woodbridge, but
the police were ready for them.
In Rutherford the police used their
clubs freely when the strangers began
cal laborers, and the horde was driven
across the Passaic river. They pulled
a negro driver from a wagon, but he
laid out three of the strikers before he
made his exit. Three men were drag
ged from a dredge and thrown into the
river in the meadows.
The mayor Of Woodbridge phoned to
Sheriff Conklin for deputies. Several
armed men were hurriedly sent to that
town. Those rescued fifteen local Ia
borers who were surrounded by the
strikers. The invaders threatened to
enter Hackensack 800 strong.
Chief Of Police Dunn says the invad
ers, who are anxious to create a state
strike. will get a warm reception II
they come here. The deputies In
Lyndhurst have been informed, and
each was given a double barreled shot
gun to be used in case Of anticipated
trouble when work is resumed on the
plant of the New York and New Jersey
Brick company.
Sheriff Conklin IS in touch with q
large number of deputies who can be
put on duty in a very short time. The
authorities in the several municipal.
ties where the police forces are small
fear serious trouble before this inya-
sion of strikers Is stopped.
