CANADIAN CAMPAIGN
LAUNCHED BY PARTIES
TARIFF MAIN ISSUE
CBy Associated Pressl

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct with tariff
questions as the main issue, political
parties of Canada today launched
campaign that will end with the gen
eral election early in December Al
though the election date has not been
announced definitely, it is expected
that formal nominations will be held
November Il. with polling on Decem-
Der 5.
The thirteenth parliament of Can
ada, constituted in 1917, was formally
dissolved yesterday by Lord Byng of
Vimy, governor general. Premier
Mefghen. leader of the conservative
party. issued his election manifesto to
the electorate, empha sizing the tariff
as the most important issue before
the Canadian people. Retention of
the present protective tariff was, the
premier declared, vital to the welfare
of Canadian industry.
Explains Position
Any revision of the tariff down
ward. Mr.. Meighen declared, would
entail surrender advances made as a
self-contained industrial nation and
reversion to a position where depend
ence upon a more favora BILE American
tariff policy would become a national
aspiration
The liberal and progressive parties
already have announced themselves
as in favor of tariff for revenue only
and in the case of the latter, a trend
in the direction of free trade. The
progressive party is made up largely
of western grain growers.
The present campaign is expected
to rival in bitterness that of 1911
when Sir Robert Borden, as leader OF
the conservative party, opposed the
plan of the liberal government oi
that day for a reciprocity agreement
with the United States and was re
turned to power by an Overwhelming
majority. ....-.

TO HIGH FRESHMEN

Tribute was paid James Whitcomb
Riley, Indianas famous poet, at the
freshman chapel, Wednesday morning,
when Rev. ". Mclean Work deliver
ed a short talk to the students of the
freshman class.
Rev. Work emphasized the fact that
Riley was a man who was liked by all
men and that no matter what the con-
ditions were, he always made the
brighter side show first.
James Whitcomb Riley was plain
man, and what's more he was a big
man, outstanding in character and
principles" said Rev. Work.
Rev. Works speech brought out
some of his experience while he was a
reporter on a newspaper. He said
that he had met some of the biggest
men in the country and that he had
found that the biggest, man always
opened up and talked more freely than
the ordinary man. The fact that Riley
was plain man and was always ac-
commoda ting, marks him in the class
with the biggest men in the country,
he declared.
Rev. Work concluded his speech by
adding that he was very glad to come
; before the freshmen to "embarrass"
/ them for while and that he hoped
that he would be invited back again.

GENEVA, oct. Reconsideration of
an amendment to article XVIII of the
covenant of the League of Nations
which would exempt technical treat
les from registration with the secre-
tariat of the league of nations, was
postponed by the assembly of the
league here today.
This action was taken with the un-
derstanding that members of the
league may interpret their obligations
in the meantime, in conformity with
the proposed amendment.
The purpose of this change was to
make article XVIII effective in break
ing up secret treaties through regi-
stration. Lord Robert Cecil, represent
ing the Union of South Africa, object
ed to the proposed exemption of agree
ments of technical character which
had no bearing on political relations
between states from registration.

public is thinking about. Public opi1-
ion was the predominating subject of
the second days program here of the

from conclusions that the in-sweeping
tide of prosperity, which they declare
to be swelled by the readjustment of
abnormal conditions, can be accelerat-
ed to its golden crest by public opin-
ion founded upon sound reasoning.
William Sproule, president of the

his subject the question of how pub
lie opinion can restore railroad credit
and public prosperity. DR.. Henry T.
SuZzalo, president of the University
of Washington, considered the econ
