BORDEN'S REPLIES
WINNIPEG, Man., June 25. R. L.
Borden, leader of the conservative
party In Canada, with his lieutenants,
is In Southern Alberta this week to
continue a campaign against reci
procity with the United States. In
Manitoba and Saskatchewan he found
the farmers mostly favoring ratifica
tion of the agreement.
His first speaking place In Alberta
was MacLeod, where he received a
memorial from the United Farmers of
Alberta representing the feeling of 46
branches. They desired the obstruc
tion to the pact on the part of Bor
den's supporters In the Canadian
parliament to cease. They desired
reciprocity aa a step toward free
trade in agricultural Implements and
machinery with the United States.
Similar memorials were presented by
armors In other regions visited by
r. Borden.
Mr. Borden, however, replied to all
these memorials. The sober second
thought of Canada, he said, had dis
approved of the $dproclty pact, Mr.
'Tate, member of parliament, told Mr.
Borden that although eastern people
might not agree with their views, vet
people of Saskatchewan and Alberta
as a whole were in favor of reciproc
ity with the United States.
