reciprocity between that country and
the United States, and en the contin

with Ita overwhelming French popula

Mr Wilfrid haa toured five of the
nine Canadian provlncee during the
campaign and everywhere he has main
tained that the reciprocity agreement

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

nexationist sentiments attributed to
some American public men and news
papers have arou.ed the cry that reci

In 111 the government adopted the
navy bill, by which It was decided to
establish a Canadian navy, to be under

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.
