Mill BLOW TO REI Avalanche of Comment by Dominion Papers on Election. BENNM WAS COMPLETE Casual Remarks by President Taft Had Effect In Defeating Laurier. Canadian Market Prices Advanced Echoes. Montreal, Sept. 22. That popular post-election puzzle, "How did it hap pen?" has fascinated all Canada to day. "Reciprocity Is reDudlated." states an evening paper in three-Inch type, beneath which, in a cartoon headed "The Archangel Chains the Destroyer," a figure of "anti-reciprocity forces", with, the drawn sword of loyalty, enchains prostrate "recipro city" with a cain of votes. "Yester day's victory was not a triumph of any political party," an editorial de clares. "It was won by a patriotic, coalition of Conservatives and Liber als determined that the dream of a great, imperishable Canada should not be dispelled." Another paper displaying the sev ered heads of the eight defeated Laur- er ministers, Insists that the time had come for a change in government lest the controlling party become, even against its will,' entrenched in graft. Fear of annexation, disagreement with the government's naval and transportation policies and an anxiety est the principle of national develop ment be abandoned was other assign ed causes' for the change which gives the Borden Conservatives a majority of at least 48 In' the new House' of Commons. -. ., , TheJBorden regime will be lnaugu-. rated with even more completeness of Dower than is Indicated by the mere statementof - majority. Of the i 132 Conservative seats but one is held by Nationalist The names of this vie- J ferious leader and , the defeated - one tongue today than - Ifis' that bf esl-ji deni Taft What if any, effect It will have on his political career, or on that of his party, was much discussed.' That his own oft-quoted words, to which were assigned meanings he had said were unintended, have been some of' the most potent weapons against reciprocity, is generally conceded. The parting' of the ways, as synonyms with the "severance of British ties". wrought much destruction to the Laur ier forces. Canadian milling and Industrial stocks generally were strong today with considerable price gains in sev eral Instances. The. tables showing the vote by provinces afforded interesting study for the politicians today. It was not ed that the Conservative gains in the maritime provinces were seven to the government s three. In the grain growing and Western provinces the government increased its representa tion by but one, while the opposition secured four new seats. The two most populous provinces showed the most serious government disaffection. The opposition gained 23 to the govern- , ment's two in Ontario, and 14 to four n Quebec. Deferred elections In four districts are expected to result in four Conservative gains, experience show- ing that under such conditions a ma jority of the electorate prefer their representatives seated on the side of the party in power. The Borden party will soon take up the reins , of government. That Sir Wilfrid Laurier will allow no techni calities to delay the opening of the 12th Parliament Is certain. Today he went to Ottawa from Quebec where last night he received the story of his defeat It is expected that he will retire at the earliest moment consistent with the proper arrangements of the large affairs which have so long been under his control. That his striking figure and strong personality will be missed in public affairs Is certain. The Liberal organs describe the Premier's defeat as little short of a national calamity. . Toronto, Sept 22. 3ir James Whitney, premier of Ontario, wired' his congratulations to R. L. Borden, the premierelect of Canada, today. Considering the possible ' results which hung upon the decision of yes terday," said Sir James; "In my opin ion no such good work was ever done in British America before; and hav ing regard to its effect on the future of. the empire, I doubt if any one day's work in the old country in mo dern times; ever signified so much. "There will be no more attempts by pretending friends of British" in stitutions to encourage policies which would surely tend to -the disintegra tion of the gmplre. I think another effort of yesterday's was our neigh-' bors in the United States may possi bly stop and devote .'five minutes to consider the' fact that there is another country besides their own on this con tinent and one that must be reckoned with seriously. ' "Serious consequences may ensue foru, President Taft who took such pains to congratulate the editors of certain newspapers on the great work . done by hlmiin furthering the gospel of reciprocity." t r i ill So'.
