QUEBEC IS PIVOTAL POINT Question of Canadian Nary In That Province and Local Scandal In Alberta Complicate Political Situation OTTAWA. OnU pt. IT. The -eral elections of Canada, which will b held nest Thursday, ere expected to be decisive on Canada's attitude toward reciprocity between that country and the United States, and en the contin uance In power of the Liberal party under the leadership of Sir Wilfrid Laurler. The American Congress haa already ratified the reciprocity agree ment, and. after a protracted deadlock In the Canadian Parliament, the ques tion of Canada's ratification was at last referred to the Judgment of the people. The elections occur simultaneously In all of the ten provinces which make up trie lutnlnln of Canada. The elections are for the popular branch of the Dominion Government, the House of Commons, consisting of ::i mem hers, elected by ballot for five years. The strength of the two parties.

To de feat the government the Conservative opposition must make a gain of 11 seats while to carry on the government and organise the House they must make gains of at least It. Kir Wilfrid Laurler. now 70 years old. haa been premier of the Iomlnlon more than IS years, since June. 16. when his party, the Liberals, defeated the ConserratlTes under fir Charles Tup per. Baru known to Canadian politics as "the old war horse of Cumberland." from the name of hla first constit uency. In his native province of Nova Pentla. fir Wilfrid la a French-Canadian, and hla xwn province. Quebec, with Ita overwhelming French popula tion, haa always given him strong; sup port. Traasaettea "Parely ealaesa." Mr Wilfrid haa toured five of the nine Canadian provlncee during the campaign and everywhere he has main tained that the reciprocity agreement . i ipttntaclloB and was m pu"".' " that the loyalty of Canada was not to be trafficked for any trade advantages. The Conservative opposition has been under the leadership of Robert Laird Borden, of Hallfaa. who first chal lenged the reciprocity pact before the Canadian Parliament and afterwards Married the contest before the people. The grounds for this opposition are two fold. On the one hand the Conserva tives are high protectionists and they . -ontend that the present agreement Is but an entering wedge, while on the other hand they contend that trade lin ear such a pact would create a com munity of Interest between the United states and Canada which could not but wenken the British connection, and would eventually bring about the an nexation of Canada to the Lnlted states. During the campaign on the stump and In the newspapers the utterances of President Tsft that "Canada la at Ihe parting of the ways." and that the lie Mrrttn Canada to the Empire was slla-ht as to be almost Imperceptible, have been used to prove that the Cnlted States hss ulterior designs on her Canadian neighbor, while the an nexationist sentiments attributed to some American public men and news papers have arou.ed the cry that reci procity is the forerunner of annexa Uon. Flafct Ceatera aa Qaefcee. The French-Canadian Province of Quebec la considered the pivotal point In this content, as It was prior to the time Sir vi:frid Laurler came to power. In 1 the Conservatives car ried only 1 of the i seata. In 100 they had only seven, while In 1 and 1S they carried 11 seats. Since lo the political complexion has rhsoged In the French province. In 111 the government adopted the navy bill, by which It was decided to establish a Canadian navy, to be under the control of the Canadian govern ment In tlmea of peace, and to become part of the British navy In time of war This was opposed by both the regular Conservatives, who proposed a large cash contribution Instead, and by the French Conservatives and Nation alists, who opposed any move that would bring Canada Into any of the fore gn wars of the British Empire, t nder the leadership of Henri Boo rassa. who Is especially effective aa aa orator when spesklng French, the en thuilssm of French-Canadians haa been aroused to a high pitch by ap nea's to there to show themselves the equals of their English-speaking fel-low-cltlsens In all thlnga.

Grnla Growers Faver Pact. The pralrte provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are the cen tera where the reciprocity campaign had Its warmest support at the outset. I L. Borden, the Opposition leader, paid a visit to the three provinces while Sir Wilfrid Laurler was In Lon don at the coronation. While at every meeting the Grain Growers' Association presented memorials in favor of reci procity. Borden maintained that It was not a good thing either from the eco nomic or political standpoint for In Manitoba, only two constituen cies elected government supporters In 190S. one 01 anese was Dmnaon. where Clifford Slfton waa elected by a small majority.

The racea wera called off In the afternoon owlna; to the muddy condition of the track, but all the prize-winning atock and horses paraded. All prises were awarded yesterday. The exhlblta this year were exceptional. The majority of the entries will be re moved to the fairs at Puyallup. North Yakima. Aberdeen and Walla Walla. About 100 harness and running horsea were shipped yesterday to other tracka In Washington and Oregon. As no other fair leto be held thle week and because many faat horsea are atlU at the fair grounds, a race programme will be held Tuesday afternoon. Only two days of racing were enjoyed last week and even then the track was In aa extremely heavy condition. The racea Tuesday were decided upon due to aa earnest request from the race enthusiasts in thla city. adoption, and that territory hnnil lp Part.r ftimned almost from the outset of his work In Congress. Perhaps the most remark able of all hla forenslo achievements waa hla defeat of the big river and harbor appropriation bill which was regarded aa a political "grab" measure during- the McKlnley administration. President McKlnley did not favor the bill. II contained so many appropria tions '.interest to the localities that they sl..ed that It waa foreseen that the President's veto Inevitably would cause animosity In many districts, and lta total waa so large that to have permitted It to remain on the statutes would have been to subject the admln- stration to tne charge of extrava gance. Mr. Carter, always a strong administration supporter. began a apeech against It at 10:30 o'clock at night and talked continuously until the day following, when the session of Congress expired at noon. Aa a lieutenant of Senator Aldrtch, the Re publican leader of the Senate for many years, he also did notable work. Other Honors fa Store. At one time Mr. Carter waa men tioned as a possible successor to Judge Moody of the United States Supreme Court and it la aald President Taft had considered htm for Secretary of the Interior, to succeed Klchard A. Bal llnger. Among the men auggeated as a. possible head of the Republican Na tional committee for the campaign of 1912 the ex-Senator's name had been mentioned. I lta defeat by a Democrat for re election to the Senate caused Mr. Car ters retirement from that body March 4 last. President Taft then named him a member of the International commis sion. He framed and fought for cod aervation legislation, opposed extrava gance in Irrigation projects, and cam paigned for the Taft Canadian reci procity bill. Mr. Carter waa close to the heads of at least three Republican administra tions. President Harrison made him Commissioner of the General Land Of fice and It la aaid recognized that de feat In the second campaign waa in no way traceable to Mr. Carter'a cam paign methods. President McKlnley appreciated his work In many ways in addition to his service in relieving him from embarrassment In the River and Harbor bill affair. Mr. Carter's first term In' the Senate ended with . the apeecn that killed the bill and Mr. McKlnley appointed him to the posi tion as head of the St. Louis Federal World's Fair Commission. As the rep resentative of the present Administra tion, it is said, he recently made a tour of the West, observing political con ditions, and Washington politicians de clare that he reported, among other things, that Oregon would aend a Taft delegation to the next National Repub lican, convention.
