With Roosevelt running Independently It is probable that no candidate will have a majority In the electoral college, In which case the election would bo thrown Into the House of Representatives for the first time since the days of John Qulncy Adams. Allen M. Fletcher has been nominated for the governorship by the Republican party of Vermont. That he Is a man of ability Is conceded nnd he will unques tionably give the state a good business administration. We are ot the opinion, however, that a man more deservi. g of political recognition nnd better fitted to lead a hard fight In the year of a presi dential campaign could have been found. It Is now particularly up to the men who have pushed Mr, Fletcher's candidacy to tnKe oft their coats In what is likely to be the liveliest gubernatorial campaign the state has seen In years. The nomination of Frank E. Howe as lieutenant govern or will be received 'with satisfaction wherever he Is known. Windham county, In which he was reared, gave him prac tically a solid endorsement In the state convention. LAYING WAREHOUSE FOUU (NIDATION Plies Driven at Site of New Crosby Grain Elevator About 25 Men at Work Will Build Sawmill Soon. A force of about 25 men Is making good progress on the basement and foundation for E. Crosby & Co.'s grain elevator and warehouse Just north of the White River Chair company's fac tory on Vernon street. The excavation for the basement Is practically completed and this week oak and chestnut plies have been driven for the foundation of the elevator. The plies were driven about 20 feet, when they struck a hard, substance, either rock or gravel. They were driven by a 2700-pound weight, and on top of each was fastened a 700-pound cap to prevent It. from splitting. The piles will be sawed oft a few feet below the sur face of the ground and concrete piers will be built upon them to support the elevator. The pile driving was done by the Central Vermont Railway company. The main building will be 204 feet long, mill constructed, and will face Vernon street. The elevator will constitute the middle section and will be about 100 feet high, having a frontage of 56 feet nnd a depth of 42 feet. The section south of the elevator will be 100 feet long nnd three stories high and will be used for a storehouse. The north section will con tain the olllce and will be adapted to making poultry feeds requiring special machinery. It will be the same height as tho south section, and nil three sections will be the same width, 42 feet. The building will have an asbestos exterior. Running diagonally from the south end of tho front part a wing three stories high will extend In n northwesterly di rection. This wing will contain a build ing 120 feet long by 42 feet wide, which will be used for storing sacked grain. The Irregular shaped section between this building and the point where tho wing Joins the front part also will be used for storage purposes. Beginning at the southeast comer a Central Vermont spur track runs north past the elevator and another runs northwest past the wing. The former track tins n capacity of six freight cars and the latter a capacity of seven freight crs. A shed will be provided for receiv ing baled hay from farmers for re-shlp-ment, nnd n cotton warehouse Is con templated. The grain elevator will hn a capacity of-00,000 bushels, which Is ,000 bushels larger thnn tho present elevator on Bridge street. Three mills for grinding corn, onts and other grain will bo Instal led, and 20 electric motors and various automatic devices have been provided for. A sawmill will be constructed on the premises soon, to facilitate the work on tho buildings. G. W. Sc C. A. Lane of Exeter. N. H., are the mill architects. J. C. Pellett Is the superintendent' and Fred I.. Chnm bcrlln Is the head carpenter. Crosby & Co. expect to move Into the new plant Sept. 1. Although It Is farther away from the business section of the village than Is the present plant, this will not work to the disadvantage of patrons, as Cros by & Co, will have a store "up town" and will run automobile trucks. The July Woman's Home Companion. An Interesting feature of the July Woman's Home Companion Is nn article entitled "The Fatnl Penny" by Mary Heaton Vorse, In which tho author re ports many startling facts about the dangers that children undergo who buy cheap candy, cheap Ico cream, and other Impure sweets sold to youngsters for one cent. In the same number nppcar tho letters descriptive of vacations which -won priz es In the "Real Vacation" contest. Other Interesting contributions to the July Companion are; "file Splrltunl Mes sage of Naturo," a sermon by Dr. Charles E. Jefferson pf Broadway Tabernacle; "The Friendly Summer Trees" by Frank A. AVaugli of the Massachusetts Agricul tural College; "Tempting Hot-Weather Dishes' 1v Fannlo Merrltt Farmer; "Summer Time nooks" by Jeanetto L.

The Republican state convention In session In Burlington yesterday nomi nated the following state ticket; For governor, Allen M. Fletcher of Caven dish; for lieutenant governor, Frank E. Howe of Bennington; for state auditor, Horace r . Graham or t rartsbury; for Allen M. Fletcher. treasuier, Edward H. Deavltt of Mont peller; for secretary of state, Guy W. Bailey of Essex. The vote for governor was: Joseph A. DeBoer had 150, A. M. Fletcher had 440, The nomination was made unanimous. The first ballot for candidate for lieu tenant governor was: Total vote, 566; Max Powell, 13S; Millard Barnes, 165; Frank E. Howe, 263. There being no choice a second ballot was taken. Be fore the result of the second ballot had been declared, Warner of Vergennes r:ct:3tcd U;o vcte because one or more delegates who -went out for dinner were denied votes when they returned and a third ballot was ordered. The- unofficial figures for this ballot, however were: M. F. Barnes, 228; Frank E. Howe, 281; Max Powell, 2. Mr. Powell had with drawn his name, however. The third ballot resulted as follows: Total votes, 552; Barnes, 248; Howe, 301; scattering, 3. And Mr. Howe was declared the nominee. .Chairman Fleetwood delivered nn ad dress In which he .spoke particularly of progressive legislation enacted In the state In recent years. At the conclu sion of Mr. 'Fleetwood's address, the temporary organization was made the permanent organization. Chairman L. B. Johnson read the plat form and It -was endorsed by the con vention. The platform neither favors nor op poses a preferential primary for state officers, but recommends "some practi cal system that will express the will of the people." The platform favors greater publicity for campaign contributions, a worklngmen's compensation law, more money for rural schools and the con servation of natural resources and op poses the recall of Judges. President Taft's name was loudly cheered. Hon. F. A. Howland of Montpeller presented the name of Hon. Joseph A. DeBoer ns candidate for governor, and W. L. Haven of Chester presented the name of Allen M. Fletcher. Mr. DeBoer's namo was seconded by John W. Gordon of Barre and Roger W. Hulburd of Hyde Park, the latter say ing: "History will never record that Jo seph A. DeBoer ever bought or begged the governorship of Vermont." Mr. Fletcher's name was seconded by Allen Martin of Essex and others, In cluding H. G. Barber of Brattleboro. The following were nominated for presidential electors: R. W. Hurlburd of Hyde Park, E. R. Morse of Proctor. Leighton P. Slack of St. Johnsbury, and Walter H. Crockett of Montpeller. The old Republican .state committee was re-elected by acclamation. H. G. Barber Is the member from Windham county. The opposition against E. H. Deavltt of Montpeller for state treasurer was surprisingly strong. He received 299 votes to 231 for Walter Scott of Bran don, The convention was uproarious and mirthful and many of the speakers were Jeered and Jollied. Dr. Havens, who presented Mr. Fletcher's name, was a good deal of a Joke. The finest speech of the day was, made by Roger Hurlburd In seconding DeBoer. F. II. Babbitt of Rockingham seconded Frank E. Howe for lieutenant governor In an effective speech. BRATTLEBORO PERSONAL. Mr. Messer, formerly manager of Pine Grove Springs hotel, called on friends In town Tuesday.
