THE CANADIAN ELECTION
The American people will view witfti
genuine regret the result of the eh?c
tiona in Canada h? ki last Thursday.
Not only has th? Lauripr govern
ment bee beaten at th poll*, but
e mphatic majority of 4.' Conservatives
reversing the preaent Liberal major
?ty of 4o ?n no room for doubt
that the Canadian voters were dis
?atiafiMi in every way with the pres
ent control of affairs.
The American people were interest
ed in one issue only before the Can
adian public, th<t reciprocity agree
ment, which , projected by President
Taft and paiweil through Congress af
ter a Ion* and wearisome special
?esaion was the primary cause of the
Canadian Pramier'a appeal to the
people at thia time.
TUtrv is, however, the beat of evi
dence available to show that Reci
procity was a minor factor in the
result (that is the Reciprocity idea
by itself), it was the injection into
that part by the political element of
our own country of the intention to
make such an agreement the means
of annexation to us that caused the
trouble.
The patriotic Canadian resented
this at once, its was natural, and the
managers of the Conservatives' cam
paign took prompt advantage of the
idea and forced the doubtful voter
to their way of thinking.
What mi?( a nation think when the
Speaker of our National House, al
most second in prestige in the Gov
ernment to the President himself, in
a public m?-t<ing says, "Reciprocity
is a step towards Annexation."?
Wbat would happen U> a State Min
ister of any of the Governments of
Kurope who would make public men
tion of an issue pending before his
country iu this manner? He would
lose his political head! ' Verily,"
said the grt*t Tallerand, "this is
worse than a crime, it's a blunder,"
Mr. Champ Clark is more to blame
for the failure of Reciprocity in Can
ada, than the whole Laurier Ministry.!
This issue, as before stated (with
the id a of Annexation tacked on for
sentiment* was one cause that de
feated tht Liberals, but apart from
that, the Prime Minister's advocacy
of a Canadian Navy v which should
be an independent navy) contributed
largely to his own defeat. Mr. Laur
ier did not want the Navy as an ad
junct to the Mother Country (the
scheme whub has been adopted by
the Commonwealths of Australia and
New Zealand; but it w-aa to be a
Navy for Canada aloue.
He offended those in the Dominion
who maintained their love for the
"Old Lion" and those of his own im
mediate following, the French Canad
^ lan, who had no sympathy with the
scheme at all. He lost accordingly
the votes of both. In Lauriers' strong
hold, the Province of Quebec, the
Nationalist leader Bourassa fought
the present Government on minor
point* of policy, avowedly an advoca*
of Reciprocity himself, he drew votes
from the Liberal following on issues
not connected with either the navy
or reciprocity policies.
We may therefore conclude that
thorough organization on the Con
servatives' part and a shrewd plac
ing of the various issues where the
voter was most sensitive, added to
the probable fact that the country as
a whole wanted a change of govern
ment after a ?ixte?n-year rule, brough
collectively, the downfall of Laurier.
It was not Reciprocity alone that ac
complished the result.
for our own country. It can be well
maintained by sober and intelligent
thinkers that the blow given the reci
procity idea by this election will be
far reaching, k will shelve, for years
t<i conitf. the idea of a better and free/
interchange of commerce between the
two nations, allied alike in blood and
kindred interests.
We, in America, had become to re
gard Reciprocity as a name to con
jure with. If Reciprocity with Can
ada, why not with Mexico and South
I America? The first accomplished and
found an advantage to the people,
the idea would become a fixed fac
tor in politics ami would kvid grad
ually to the opening up of better traf
fic relations between all nations and
the final disappearance of that "fet
ich", Protection, which has burdened
our land for over half a century.
Our President, we are told, is op
timistic and says, "we are still doing
busincas at the old stand." Thin la
very well said, but the fact remains
that the little wedge we tried to drive
for the betterment of all our people
and along progressive lines of thought
has failed in Its mission, and we can
say somewhat as Pitt said after Aus
terlitz. "Fold up the map. W'e shajl
not need it again for twenty years."
