Montreal Can, Sept 2L The Lan rier government and reciprocity suf fered an overwhelming defeat in tbe Canadian elections held today. - By a veritable political landslide the Liberal majority of 43 was swept away and tbe Conservative party se cured one of the heaviest majorities, upwards of 50, than any Canadian party has ever had. ' Seven cabinet ministers who had served with Pre mier were among the defeated candi dates. ' , ' ' The Liberals lost ground in practi cally every province of the Dominion. small. : Where tbe Conservatives won Where they won their majorities were their majorities were tremendous. On tario, the leading province of Canada, declared almost unanimously against the administration and reciprocity. Robert L. Borden, leader of the Conservative party, will shortly be come Prime Minister of Canada. Hej will be supported in Parliament by a working majority of members far more than ample for his purposes. Tbe government defeat means that the Fielding-Knox reciprocity agree ment, ratified by the American con gress in extra session, will not be in troduced when the twelfth Parliament assembles next month and that a re vised basis of trade with the United States looking to closer commercial relations, will not be possible in the immediate future. The Conservatives are committed to a policy of trade ex pansion within the Empire and a clos ed door against the United States. Although re-elected in two constit uencies in Uuebec, tbe defeat of the Liberals also means the retirement from public life of Sir Wilfrid Lau rier, who for nearly two decades has directed the destinies of the Domin ion.

For me it is a great disappointment. I had hoped it would be put through to prove the correctness of my judg ment that it would be a good thing for both countries.
