Hallux Sept. Tl . Tlie liberal
threat to defeat Robert L. Borden
leader of the conservHt.es destined
to be next prem'er or Canada was
nearly consrmmated. At noon with
six polling places unheard from Bor-
den's plurality was only 43.
Montreal. Sept. '2 The Laurier
government anil reciprocity suffered
an overwhelming defeat In the Can-
adian elections yesterday.
Hy a political landslide the liber-
al majority of 43 was syept away and
the conservative party secured ono
or the heavies majorities upwards
of 5" that any Canadian party has
ver had. Seven cabinet minister
who had served with Premier I.aur-
ier were anions the defeated tan-
dldates. The liberals lost ground In practi-
cally every province ot the dominion.
Where they won their majorities
wero small. Where the conservatives
won their majorities were tremen-
dous. Ontario the leading province
of Canada declared almost unani-
mously against the administration
and reciprocity
Hubert L. Borden leader of the
conservative party will shortly be-
come prime minister of Canada. He
will he supported In parliament by a
working majority of members far
more than ample for his pursues.
The government defeat means that
that I'iehiiiigKnox reciprocity gr-
ment ratified by the American con
gress Inextra session will nto be in-
troduced when the twelfth parlia-
ment assembles next 'month and
that a revised basis of trade with
the I'nlied States l-xiklng to elo&er
commercial relations wIH not be pos-
sible In the immediate future.
The conservatives are committed
to a policy of trado expansion within
tho empire and a closed door against
)he I'nlied States.
' Although re-elected in two constit-
uencies In Quebec the defeat of the
liberal party also means the retire-
ftiant from public lile of Sir Wilfred
Laurler who for nearly two decades
tas directed the destinies of the Do-
minion. Severe I' times during the
bitter campaign which preceded to-
day's elections the venerable premier
said that defeat of his patty at the
polls meant an end to his careers
that he would never consent to lead
a minority In opposition to a con.
(ervative government
A liberal membtrhlp of 53 from
Quebec was cut down to 3fi. which
taken alone seriously threatened the
supremacy of the party. Hut It was
In Ontario that the conservatives
won llieir greatest victories. Spur-
red on by appeals to patriotism and
the cry thai reciprocity was the en-
tering wedge for annexation the con-
servatives swept nearly everything
before them.

PLOTTERS

Madison Wis. Sept. 22. In a bit-
ter editorial in his magazine Senator
LaFollette who is a presidential can-
didate .demands the retirement of
the "plotters" who sought to oust Dr.
Wiley.
He says the "charges against Wiley
were flimsy and absurd; a pretext
to get the vigilant honest -jhiet chem-
ist which collapsed under the first
Lroadside ot pubhcil). Solicitor Me-
Cube must go. He is a menace to
the department and public good. Sec-
retary Wilson may bu forced to re-
tire. It would be a sorry perversion
of justice to drop Wilson and keep
Wickersham who connived with the
McCabe crowd in recommending con-
dign punishment for Wiley.".

BIG ESTATE
S INVOLVED
Wr. L. Harris of Talihina was ap-
pointed guardian of the Sage minors
who own land to the value of nearly
$;t00i.n) in Grady county yesterday
and his appointment ends one of the
longest and most bitterly fought
guardianship contest In the history
of the county. Property and damages
to the amount of about $ 11000 has
been involved in law suits for the
past twelve years.
The Sage minors reside with their
mother Mrs. Carrie Sage in Le Flore
county and there has been a legal
war on in the matter of their guar-
dianship for the past twelve years.
There are four minors In the family
of seven children.
Clay Donovan was appointed by
the father of the children as guar-
dian of their estate. Mrs. Carrie
Page mother of the children was
appointed the guardian of the chil-
dren's property from the eastern part
01 the state and both guardians trans-
acted business as legal guardian.
Two sets of lease papers were exe-
cuted in the leasing of the lands and
property interests have resolved
themselves into a great legal tangle
as a result of this double gaurdian-
ship. The land of the Sage minors lies
south four miles from Ninnekah and
there are lOurt acres in the tract.
Most of the land is in a state of cul-
tivation and it is valued in the enigh
borhood of J30t)ao.
According to a law passed by the
state legislature the guardianship
may be transferred to the county in
which the minors live. The Sage min-
or affairs were transferred to Le
Flore county and the difficulties
were ended by the appointment ot a
new guardian.
R. E. Davenport is the attorney for
the mother of the children.

case argued this morning being rep-
resented by Attorney E. Hamilton.
