Frigid zephyrs that blew, across thf
seminary campus 'yesterday afternoon
chilled nearly 300 spectators to the mar
row, while the Barre Athletic club won
in its first game of the series with th
Berlin (X. H.) A." C. The .tabulate.!
score recorded a 5 to 2 win for the fast
traveling Barre bunch. The freezing
temperature did not in the least detract
from the zeal of the players, who per
formed as creditably att if -the weather
were more, suitable for baeballr
The game was of added- interest to the
Barre following. du- to the initial ap
pearance in a. Barre uniform of Gay,
the ! young Randolph ' southpaw. , Tlie
rangy youngster has all the earmarks of
' star and yesterday, although a trifle
(wild, held the hard-hitting' New llamp
ishire lads at bay, but four hits being
corraled off his delivery, , v, i
The second inning staged the braefj
of runs scored by his opponents when,!
with' the bases full, a clean single toi
center by Munson produced the counters.
Gay pulled out of this situation by tan
ning McPherson and compelling Bracket t
to hit weakly to second. J-ive innings
caw men on the hit cushion, but the
jxwtsider on each occasion pulled' out
safely. His wildness asssured the Berlin
jlads the first station seven times.
The manager of the visiting team per
mitted Palmer, an old Burlington high
School pitcher, to appear on the hillock.
, JHe passed through the first inning, but
kin the second chapter his desire to rise
jto the dizzy heights rewarded him with
la place on the. bench. Charles Beruicr,
(well known in White mountain summer
baseball circles, took up the reins, when
Jone man had "counted; one man had been
retired and the hassocks were all popu
lated. His start was pyrotechnic. Th
first two ash wielders fell before his
runerring.spitball. The next inning was
Viot so blissful. The Barre chmters con
jcentrated its forces and bombarded for
three registrations. After that the al
leged big leaguer was not a proposition
"of difficult solution. - f
The afternoon's entertainment was in
terspersed with brilliant fielding stunt.
A couple of clever double plays were
executed, one by the Barre lads and the
jother by the visitors. The Berlin outfit
(pulled off its play of double fatality in
Ithe opening session. Davidson was on
first and W. Johnston rapped a seething
grounder to second base territory.' Vauce
scooped the ball, tagging Davis en hit
way to second, and then heaved the ball
to first for the completion of the play,
,The two-ply putout by the local tearn
'Came in the last inning and dispelled all
hopes of the visiting team registering.
Harris, who was batting for Towers, was
ticketed. Vance then rapped a lon,r.
Skier to AlcKenzie. McKenzie backed
lip and made a sensational catch of the
ball, falling backwards after catching the
ball. Harris stood halfway down the
cinder path and slowly trotted back to
first. Oblivious of the ball being re
turned to itch him off first, he was
given the surprise of his existence when
he saw the ball resting in Stuart's hands.
( In the second inning R. Johnston waj
given free transportation to first bass
and took second oij a .wild pitch. He
scored from the muddler lack on .Stuart's
hit to center. With none out, Barre was
unable to count further in this sessiorj.
Vance was passed in the third inning.
Bernier breezed. Wilbur, attempting t
sacrifice, scratched a hit. Pease wa
ticketed, filling the bases. Munson then
was the man of the moment with a
safe crack to center.,, No more scoring.
Davidson, opening the third inning
with a single to center, reached second
when Brackett fumbled W. Johnston's
grounder; Old Man Johnston then
brought the crowd to' its feet with l
three-ply wallop to left center.' .Robert
reached the terminal on "Bill" Stuart's
two-bngger into center. Bernier tight
cned and the next three batters sue
cumbed to the winds. Barre's final count'
er was made in the sixth session. Kute
started it with a two-base hit into the
maple grove and finished the rounds on
W. Johntson's single over third base.
The score: ' .

Notes of the Game.
The Berlin aggregation is undoubtedly
one of the best baseball turnouts that
has been seen in the city this season.
In the Berlin line-up are faces of sev
eral Burlington lads. Munson, the old
St. Michael college pitcher, hails from
the Queen City. Captain Hamilton, the
backstop, was instructed in the elements
of baseball at Burlington high school,
having caught for the school team tw
seasons. Palmer, the southpaw, who
startel yesterday's game, is well known
in the state through his affiliation with
Burlington high school. Powers, the cen
ter fielder, is another former Burlington
high man. Norman, who wanned a place
on the resting settee, is a Chittenden
county product, claiming the metropolis
of the state as his residence.
Brackett, the four-eyed shortstop of
the Berlin aggregation, is said to nave
played of late years on the Massachu
setts Aggies. j
Jack Davidson plaved a 'strong game
at second base for the local nine. He
was a power with the ash, rapping out
three clean hits in the first three sallies
at the plate.
"Bill Stuart played a clever game a
first. He pulled in a couple of difficult
one-handed catches ot wretched throws
He is a great improvement over the
other candidates that have been trying
tneir fortunes with the position this
year.
Fowlie's throwing arm was slightly
out of order yesterday. The iron whip
was unable to locate the pilfering base
runners yesterday.

New . York, Aug. 28. Far and away
the most encouraging information that
has reached Republican headquarters
s'nee the campaign began are the reports
from New York, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
mid other pivotal states, that the third
term candidate and his party are draw
ing almost as many adherents from the
democrats as from the Republicans.
This is said to be particularly true of
New York and if this is even approxi
mately true- it means that President
Taft will carry the Empire state iii No
vember by a substantia! majority, Taft
polled 870,070 votes in flew lorlc in
1908 to Bryan's 667,468, his plurality in
the state being 202,602. Here is a wide
margin, , in favor of the " Republic ns.
Thus far the polls made by the Repub
licans show that the defections to Roose
velt outside of those who weYe prominent
in the Bull Moose movement prior to the
Chicago convention,; have been largely
among the workingmen who are attract
ed by many planks in the platform of
the new party. Bryan polled the larger
part of this vote in his campaigns; an J
it is believed that Roosevelt, rather than
ilson will appeal to them in Novem
ber. . ,
. In Illinois the situation, according ta
Chairman Hilles reports, is improving
every day. I he opposition of the Chi
cago candidate for governor has resulted
in a serious split in the Roosevelt forces,
The Tribune is the mainstay of Colonel
Roosevelt in the middle West, but has
always been a warm supporter of Gov
ernor Deneen; they are supporting Ol.
Roosevelt for president, but Deneen for
the governorship. J he suppport of the
one to a large extent negatives the effect
of the support of the other. ax-Gov
ernor Yates of Illinois stopped here on
his way to campaign for the Kepub
licans in Vermont and supplemented the
statements received bv Chairman Hilles
regarding the brighter outlook in Illinois
He agreed that the refusal of The Trib
une to obey Colonel Roosevelt's order
that Governor Deneen must be punished
with defeat for declining to leave the
Republican party has proved a serious
blow to the cause of the third-term
party in that state.
From Ohio come assurances that for
every Republican vote vthat" Roosevelt
gets Taft will get the rote tff a Harmon
Democrat. Bryan a dictation of W 11-
son's nomination at Baltimore, it is said,
will mean the loes of many a Democratic
vote in Ohio to the Republicans. The
defection of Walter F. Brown to the
third party will, in the Judgment of th
Republican managers, hold in the Repub
lican party many progressive Republi
cans in northern Ohio who have been
fighting Brown for vcars as the boss of
the state. Senator La toilette has con
siderable strength in the northern coun
ties and the weight of his influence will
be thrown against Roosevelt, not only
there but throughout the West.
At the meeting of the advisory com
mittee yesterday, reports were received
from Indiana that the third party rn
that state will run a poor third. Sen
ator Beveridge is admittedly a good deal
stronger outside of the state than in;
he was refused a re-election to the Sen
ate onlv two years afjo. The third party
there is centering its fight on the
"bosses," and Tom Taggart, the most
notorious boss in the state, is a Demo
crat. The expectation is that the third
party may get as many Democratic as
Republican votes for the progressive
Democrats in the state regard Marshall,
the vice-presidential candidate, as any
thing but progressive; be haa denounced
the initiative, referendum and recall and
he and Tom Taggart have been close
allies.

nn8SSwSnSSUS to President Taft in the primaries be
cannot be defeated until Barnes is over
thrown, and still the citizens of that
state are hanging back beet use of party
loyalty.
"My father war a Republican and X
have been a Republican for years. But
when my party badge means more to me
than my country and the stars and
stripes, then my case is confessedly
hopeless. I am first a citizen and tbeu
a party man. Here in Vermont condi
tions are not quite so nasty, perhaps
as elsewhere. I was a delegate to the
Republican state convention in Burling
ton and went there elected by progres
sive men. It was understood by the
men who sent me there that I was tD
assist in forwarding progressive features
in the platform. It had been previously
agreed that 'a primaries plank should
be inserted in the tentative platform,
snd when I reached Burlington I found
it ripped out. I made a row, beeauss
I felt that the Roosevelt men had been
in the majority in the previous conven
tions and that the large majority of the
people favored this plank. The commit
tee was in closed session, and I was
unable to get a hearing. It was be
cause the men in power were afraid theyi
would lose their power if the primary
plank were to be inserted and after
wards fulfilled.
"I told theirf at that timethat if tfu
chance presented itself I would put my
ideas before the, people, lhe time has
now come to oppose these vested inter
ests and by working for the people we
are going to justify our only existence
as a party. I understand that a Barre
audience was enlightened the other night
bout myself, that it waa led to believe
that I am a nobodv. AH right; but 1 am
going to be heard. I am finding that the
woods are full of bull moose.
"It has been said that we have no
ipsues in Vermont, but let me declare
that every word of the national Pro
gressive platform means sometmng to
the people of Vermont and that the doc
ument contains some very live issues U
be applied right here in our own state.
Big business is an octopus that is send
ing its tentacles down into every man,
down into every man's home and his
fireside. Ami the only thing to do wit
big business is to control it. Wlien you
hsve forces that will check the depreda
tions of big moneyed interests, you will
be emancipated. Back of the movement
which aims to furnish these agencies of
combat is a man of bigness and red
blood. I speak of Theodore Roosevelt, j
"I have not time to discuss many
state issues, but take for eximple that
of the tax question. Here is a young!
man who desires to borrow fS.noo for
the purchase of a farm. Xo individual
can lend it to him, because our present
laws discriminate in favor of banks and
loan associations. Eighty per cent, of
bank deposits in this state go out be
yond the borders. Xew York capital
ists are buying up the water power priv
ileges in northern and southern Ver
mont. Something's wrong. Let us our
selves develop that which is rightfully
owned by the people. Here is a state
issue which you may well give due consideration.
"We are to believe in a better Ver
mont, better roads, etc. We have been
believing in the promises of other par
ties, but have they been fulfilled? This
Progressive movement is a crusade, and
t is up to us to act. e must by our
individual votes lay the foundation for
a great and redeemed nation, so thai
our children will rise up and call us
blessed. Think ii these thincs in the
a - i j : . u - n.--1 i i: 1
of next Tuesday.
Bonaparte Counted Taft Out
Former- Attorney-General Bonapart
spoke for nearly an hour along lines
which , tended to emphasize the impor
tance of registering the right kind of
vote at the polls next I uesday. tie said
in part: "Vermont's position as a po
litical barometer for the past 50 years
1 peculiar, but Important. This year
its election should show Taft'e chances
for re-election are no greater than mine.
The men who assisted in his so-called
nomination at Chicago have conceded he
win vacate the White House after
March 4. The lesson was brought homt
fore the convention. Votes for Taft ia
Xovember are votes thrown away; sp
I urge upon you the necessity of voting
Tuesday in a manner that will count.
It is a momentous issue; not many, but
one, which includes many. It will de
cide whether the people of the United
States own themselves and their coun
try, or whether they themselves and the
country are owned by a email number of
men known as bosses, who in turn are
owned by men of wealth. Is it to be a
government of and by and for the peo
ple, or a government of the people, oy
the bosses and for the interests?
I have no aversion to riches. I would
be rich myself if the right opportunity
presented itself. But I am unalterably
opposed to special rights that now gn
with wealth. The Standard Oil Co. and
the American Tobacco Co. have rights
so far as the citizenship of the few men
who control them is concerned, but no
further. According to our American idea,
the people have the right to rule. They
may make mistakes, but it is they who
are to be held accountable for their
errors, and it is they who are to profit
by them. But thev shouldn't be made
to pay for the mistakes of others. It
is a question of whether the people will
make laws to govern their own happi
ness and welfare or delegate this im
portant duty to the few.
"Within a few days Roosevelt has
been attacked by the .Standard Oil Co,,
which he prosecuted while in office. The
issue now is whether the man whom the
oil trust does not want shall become
president. The best recommendation vi
candidate can furnish the people is the
opposition of these big trusts."

plishing its ends. He told of how it
knowingly sold inferior oil in Oklahoma
and of the fearful consequences that re
suited from an explosion caused by the
presence of gasoline in the oil. fie said
that the cases cited were common prop

up the combine s reputation.
Turning to the Democratic partv, Mr.
Bonaparte said: "Here in Vermont th
Democratic party is in a hopeless mi
noritv. Perhaps it is honest, for often
times parties can retain their virtues
only while they are outnumbered by
larger parties. But the machines within
the Democratic ranks are just as per
nicious and dangerous as within the Re
publican fold. It is true that the Dem
ocrats nominated for their president at
Baltimore a good man,, not looked upoa
with favor by the interests. But his
nomination was brought about through
fear of Theodore Roosevelt: With that
candidate, however, they are entitled to
credit for nominating a good man, whi
haa shown himself familiar with ths
fundamentals of good government. It
elected, he will be as a clean collar oii
a dirty shirt, a stool pigeon, and hi
hands will be tied. As nearly as will hi
possible, he ' will be impotent to effect
the deliverance of the people.
"In closing, I ask you to go to your
state election with the intention of prov
ing three things: First, that Taft can
not be re-elected; second, that he doesn't
deserve a re-election ; third, to show that
a change from the Republican to Demo
cratic'rule would be dangerous. You
should vote for the ticket that scares
away the crooks and for the man whom
the crooks are praying will be defeated.
Remember the rule of the people."
