"Shall the Laurler regime and shall Canada, by giving the gov ernment party of the last 15 years continuance of power, put into effect the reciprocity agreement already ratified by the republic across the border?" Qn the "night before," the leaders of both sides expressed extreme con fidence. The government papers as serted that the liberals will win by 50 majority, thus Increasing their strength for the twelfth parliament's bouse of commons by seven seats. The opposition papers claim an equal majority for the party of Leader Bor den, and point with unequivocal cer talnty to the government's defeat and its realization that defeat Is Im pending.

New York, . Sept. 1 21. The stock market was thrown Into confusion to day by the selling of United States steel stock on an enormous scale. From almost every part of the coun try, orders poured in to sell stock of the billion dollar combine and con' fusion prevailed on the stock ex change floor aa brokers struggled with each other around the steel post to dispose of their holdings. Prices crumbled rapidly. Preferred stock slumped D V4 points to 105 1-4 its lowest price since 1908. Common fell to 58 a loss of four points, its low record since 1909. September 1, preferred sold at 115 and common at 70. During the forenoon transactions in the steel stocks exceeded a total of 650,000 shares. The long slump In United States steel Is generally ascribed to the fear of many investors that dissolution of the corporation may be necessary In order to comply with the federal gov. ernment to views regarding the en forcement of the anti-trust law.

President Taft arose early this morning and en tered upon his fourth day in Michi gan. The program called for every minute of his time from the arrival of his train at 6:40 o'clock until he departed at 1 o'clock for the southern part of the state. The president was greeted at hU car by a reception committee, headed by Senator William Alden Smith. An automobile whirled him to the Kent Country club for breakfast, attended by a large party of leading citizens. Following luncheon, the program Included a run to the Michigan state soldiers home at 9:45 o'clock, a speech there at 10 o'clock, an automobile drive back to the city and a speech at . the open air meeting In Campus square at 11 o'clock. In his address. President Taft de fended his vetoes of the wool, cotton and free list bills at great length. He said: The President's Address, My Fellow Citizens: I am going to tell you in as simple a way as I can. why I vetoed the three tariff bills which congress submitted tp ' me for signature at the closo of this extra session. I called the session to secure the enactment in law of the Canadian reciprocity ireaiy. , -f nn was none on Juiy zx. Tnerearter, tne wooi diu, the free-list bill, and the cotton bill were presented to me for signature. and I returned them, without my ap proval, and explained my reasons for so doing in a special message on each bill. What I say here will be In large part a resume of those messages, with some additional suggestions that the less formal character of this address permits. I am not going to discuss f Via PfltmA htll.
