Aldridge, tor many year Republican boea la tbat county, was beaten lor a aeat io Congress by James 8. Havens, a Demo crat, who ran on a tariff reform platform. The dietrict la normally Hepublican by from 6,000 to 8,000, bat Haveoe was elected by 5,00 plurality. Eugene N. Foss, who was recently elected to Con gress in Massachusetts by a similar over tarn, stamped the district (or Havens. Aldridge was involved to some extent in the recent Insurance bribery revelations and this helped beat him, but the result la not without generil significance. Ol note, also, ia the announced retirement from the Senate at the end ol their pres ent term, ol Senator Aldrich of Rhode Inland, chiel sponsor ol the near tariff, and Senator Hale of Maine. The lormer al leges ill health as the cause. The latter doea not care to make a contest for re election. Mr. Hale predicta that il the Democrats win the next election there will be a Ires trade bill in the next Con gress. Suffraglata Hlaaed President. Responding to tbelr invitation, Presi dent Taft appeared at the national con vention of Woman Suffragists at Wash ington Tbarsday and welcomed tbero. He fell into a short discussion of the issue and indicated plainly bis opposition. When be said that women a a whole were not interested in suffrage and if granted it would be controlled by the "less desirable class" among them, a storm of hisses greeted him. The presi dent smiled and mildly reproved the la dies for hissing. Later, the convention unanimously disavowed the act and ex pressed its regret by letter to Mr. Taft. Tba delegates presented to Congress a monster petition bearing a million signa tures asking for suffrage. They went in decorated automohilee that reacbd al most the length of Pennsylvania avenue.

At the confer ence B. A. Manchester- represented tba Milk PrnH Hera' nninna fmm Mnntnli ' In Hanrlnlnh Inrlnsivj,' wrliilj. Rat hl mmnt : II. O. Barnes and Royalton was repre- j aented by Jaime H. ritacey. More than 60 farmer from as many i different sect iona joined the directors of iue nosniQ co-operanve company in len- Ing the contractor in no uncertain terms tbat last winter's price of milk mast be continued through tbe summer, or milk will be withheld after May 1. A resolution passed unanimously by the directors was: "The Boston price of milk, effective Msy 1 to Sept. 1, most be the same to the farmer aa last winter; all bills must be paid by tbe contractors by tbe 1Mb of tbe month following the one in which tbe milk ia received; a half mill ahall be deducted from each can shipped and paid over to tbe farmers' company, and this shall be a part of tbe Individual contract." Tbis resolution followed a report of the special representatives aent to the meeting. Tbe situation ta sized op aa follows by the New England Homestead, published at Springfield, Mass.: "Not io the his tory of tba milk industry have farmer presented ao unanimous a front as now. Nor have farmers aver ao generally kept accounts of their dairy business as now. They are keeping tab on tbe outgo and income, and are astonlabed to see bow much tbey have been loaing at aelling milk at prices in tbe past. They would have goue bankrupt except for some other revenue from the farm which supports the family and pay milk loaaea. Any number of farmers are ready to open tbeir books and show figures tbat indicate a cost of 4 to 5 cent a quart to make milk aa required fur the Boston market. "A significant feature, if it come to a point of holding back milk after May 1, aa seems probable now, ia that tbe distant territory in northern Vermont, New Hampshire and New York waa out in force at Boston. These representatives were the loudest proclaimers of tbe con tinued price through the aummer, or 'no milk.' Thus, dealera will have no easy task before them to get tbe milk. Here tofore they have gone into the bark terri tory and used those farmers as clubs to beat tbe nearby producers into submis sion. The II. U M. P. C. has forestalled tbat possibility by organizing tbe back cenntry, and all agree the aituation ia mighty uncertain for Boston milk con tractors unlrss they pay tbe same price for milk tbey did last winter. It should be emphasized that farmers are not ask ing tor an increased price over the winter price, but simply tor a maintenance of tbe present price. "All tbe contractors, except the H. P. Hood company, were represented at tbe conference, although they declared it waa a possible violation of the law which esys combinations cannot be made In restraint of trade. -Mr. Hood in renly to a tele phone call declared he did not know iatiftnt I h mMhliff mnA thai h anuM meet tbe producera at 9 o'clock in the evening or at 11 o'clock tbe following day. Not until several of tba 17 Hood territory representatives bad- declared againat auch tyranny waa it finally agreed to atay over and present the aame resolu tion about price and conditions to Mr. Hood, wbo gave the impression that ha would not accede to the farmer' de mands. ."Hystematio arrangements are being made all along tbe line for taking oar of tbe milk after May 1. Separator will be brought into play and calvea and bogs given a show on tbe larm. "Contractors are given just 48 hours to accept tbe farmers' proposition, after which time all negotiations are off, and the a C. M. P. C will take steps to thor oughly systematise tbe placing of milk after May 1. Back In tbe milk atrike ot 1H01 no time waa given farmers to place their milk elsewhere. Now, however, tbey will have 10 days or two weeks to make other arrangements." Randolph High School, ; The first ball game of the season comes " Saturdav.
