Meighen, third. Mr.. Meighen him
ser we defeated in Portage la
Frairle, Manitoba, his home district.
Spectacular Defeat.
The fall ofthe Meighen government
with Its high tariff platform, was a
spectacu ar as h defeat of Sir viii,
ir.d Laurier's Liberal administration
IN l9ll on it's policy OF reciprocity
I. with the United States. In yesterdays
election, high tariff as championed by
premier Meighen lost to the, reciproc-
NY program Of Mr.. King. Three prov
Inces, quebec, Nova Scotia and Prince
Edward Island are three solid Liberal
c~ontlngents Ontario regarded as the
fortress of conservatism and protec-
tion, showed d Liberal gain of more
than 20 seats. Seven members of
tne Melgnen government in addition
TO the premier, himself, were defeat
ed. five in Quebec and two in Nova
Scotia.
The new Progressive party. led by
L. A. Crerar Of Manitoba, swept the
western provinces but compared COM
Parauvely few divisions in the east.
This group. originally made up of
farmers. stands for tariff revision
DOWNWARD even more drastic than the
Loera s propose. It's members are
in sympathy with the reciprocity
movement.
Tho Liberal Platform.
The Liberal platform asked that
goods from British countries be given
preferential tariff treatment, and de-
manded that foreign articles be placed
on the free list:
wheat, wheat -four and all prod
ucts Of wheat, the principal articles
OF food. farm implements and ma
ch1nery; farm tractors. mining, flour
and sawmill machinery and repair
parts thereof, rough and dressed lum-
Der; gasoline, illuminating: l%ubricating
and fuel oils; nets, net twines and
fishermen's equipment; cement and
fertilizers.
At yesterdays election. for the first
time in the political history Of Cam
ada women voted on terms Of equal
ity with men,. Miss Macphail, Pro-
gressive, was elected to parliament in
the southeast Grey district of Ontario.
She will be the first woman member
of the house Of commons.

BIG DEMAND FOR
MICHIGAN RYE ON
ACCT RUSS FAILURE
BREAKDOWN CAUSES DEMAND
FOR MICHIGAN CROPS
EXPECTATION

Agricultural breakdown in Russia
has served to materially strengthen
the rye market n this country, and
Michigan, as the leading rye state,
is particularly affected
"The famous Riga district, once
the great export ng rye section OF
Russia, would import rye this year
if they could get it,, said Professor
n. |. Vavilov, of the Bureau of APP
pl ed Botany and Plant Breeding,
Petrograd, during a recent visit at
the Michigan Agricultural college, at
Lansing. ''Cond tions are such in
type of rye from the Riga district of
small acreage was planted, and this
has been seriously damaged by the
drought"
Special interest in Rosen Rye, a
NJ chigan variety which came Origin
ally from Russia and which is now
in great demand as an export rye,
was shown by Professor Vavilov.
Michigan Rosen is being shipped to
Denmark. Germany and other coun-
tries which originally bought ith is
type of rye from the Riga district of
Russia.
There will apparently be strong
demand for American export rye for
some years to come, according to
Prof j. f. Cox, of the M. A. G. farm
crops department. 1t is not likely
that Russi. can make a quick re-
covery agriculturaliy and Michigan
farmers can feel fairly certain that
the pr.ce of rye will continue to be
much nearer the price of wheat than
it was before the war.
