LAUR|ER DIES
OF PARALYSIS
l IN OTTAWA
He. Was Liberal Leader Till His
Death
PREMIER FOR Is YEARS
His Party Suffered Defeat at Polls
When Reciprocity Treaty with
U. S. Was Paramount Issue

Ottawa, Feb. 7.-Sir Wilfrid Laur-
Ter, formerly premier of Canada, died
of paralysis here this afternoon.
Born at St. Lin, p. O., In 1S41, Sir
Wilfrid was the only French-Cana-
dian who was ever premier of Can.
ada, portfolio he held from 1896 TO
1911. His career in politics antedated
the federation of the provinces into
the Dominion OF Canada, 1867. Then
only q few years out OF McGill uni.
versity, he actively opposed this un-
lon But, when 1t had been consum-
mated, he accepted the verdict and
was elected to the provincial Legisla-
ture OF Quebec as liberal in 1871.
Resigning three years later and being
elected to the House OF Commons,
where he took. an active part in the
liberal majority.
After holding the position of minis.
ter of inland revenue for brief per-
iod he was elected from the eastern
division OF Quebec City and 16 years
was identified with the opposition, be-
coming the liberal leader in 1887 and
leading his party to victory in 1896.
After he held the premiership for
Is years his government suffered de-
feat at the polls with the proposed
reciprocity treaty with the United
States as the paramount issue. He
supported this project. Notable
achievements of the Laurier regime
were the granting of preferential
tariff for British products, the gran
ting of autonomy to the provinces Of
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the parti.
cipation of Canada with the British
forces In the South African war, and
the Inauguration of the Grand Trunk
Pacific transcontinental railway
scheme.
He was instrumental in securing
from the British goecfnment ho.ice
to Belgium and. Germany of the de-
nuncnation OF treaties with those
countries which stood in the way of
Canada's new tariff exten:,...y a pre-
ference to the United Kingdom. He
was delegate to Washington in the
interests of better relations between
Canada and the United States and
was member of the joint high com
mission which sat at Quebec in 1898 to
discuss questions affecting jointly
Canada, Great Britain and the United
States.
On three notable occasions he went
to England as representative Of Can
ada, the diamond jubilee of Queen
Victoria and the coronation of King
Edward and King George.
The story of Sir Wilfrid Laurier is
essentially the story of the Canada
that We know today. the story OF the
Dominion.s transition into nationa
greatness. For 15 consecutive years
from 1895 to 1911, he and his liberia
party held almost undisputed sway
These "elder statesmen, of whom
Laurier was the last, found Canada {
colony; they left it nation.
