THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

THE ATTACK ON MR. BRYCE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, May 3. The Westminster Gazette describes the attack on Mr. Bryce as disgraceful. It floes not believe that President Taft had eny political designs, though, he perhaps ■ought to bring Canada under the primary United States. A BLAZING INDISCRETION. Received 5, 5.5 p.m. London, May 5. The Pall Mall Gazette comments on President Taft's "blazing indiscretion" in making Americans ask themselves ■whether Roosevelt is more acceptable for political sobriety. It says, "The President's friends are endeavoring to represent that President Taft only desired that, commercially, Canada and America should be adjuncts to each other. But the dog is not an adjunct of the tail, and President Taft explicitly wrote the treaty which would transfer all important Canadian business to Chicago and New York. It is useless to pretend that President Taft's scheme was anything but a deliberate plot to destroy Canada's economical independence. The credit of its defeat belongs to Canadian patriotism. The humiliation of being duped ie distributed among the Liberal leaders here and in the Dominion."
