Montreal, Sept. 21.-—“There is no
doubt that we have been decisively
defeated,” declared Sir Wilfrid Laur-
ler, early in the evening at Quebec to
a group of friends who had gatherod
with him to hear the returns.
“I gladly lay down the Premiership,
burden which' I have carried tor
fifteen years. We believed that
making the reciprocity arrangement
we had done something which would
be greatly to the benefit of the people
of Canada.
“The electors have declared other
wise and I bow to their decision. I
regret that we have been unable to
carry reciprocity, which I still be
lieve would have promoted the ma
terial advancement of Canada and
would have promoted tbe growing
friendship between the United States
and Great Britain. However, the
country hns spoken. We must bow
to the inevitable and I cheerfully do
so.”
