" Following the applaime which greet ed Mr. l'loctur at the close of his ml driss came the tight over the nomina tion for lieutenaut-giiveriiur. The first speaker to rie was .1. L. Martin of this town who placed in nomination, nmid cheers, the name of ,I,,lm H. Mcr ritield of Newfane. Mr. Martin told of how he had been cautioned by the candidate not to say anything "too strong," but he ndded that if he was allowed to state the truth he had no bounds. In closing he characterized Mr. Merrifield as "n nmn for whom no republican, no democrat, or no 'seces sionist' can hesitate to vote." After Mr. Martin followed H. R Klin ii of Springfield, who nominated lieiirge F. Leland of that town. 'Aiy man in Krattlehoro," suid Mr. Flinu. "can make n better nominating speech than nny other man in crmout. J he people of that town are used to the business. In fact, I am informed on good authority that the art of making noimnating speeches ami speeches of acceptance is taught in the public schools there." After the roar which greeted these remarks had subsided Mr. 1-linn went on to say that Windsor county would give a larger majority to Proctor than any other county in the state, nnd for that reason the name of Leland should be second on the ticket. The uaine of George II. Prouty of Newport was placed in nomination by Z. M. Mansur of that town. "We don't raise angels up in northern Vermont," said Mr. Mansur, "but we raise men. What was needed, in his opinion, was a business man as a running mate to the head of the ticket. For the delegation of Bennington county F. (.'. Archibald of Manchester seconded the nomination of Mr. Mer rifield, while in behalf of the Windsor county delegates H. II. t'ushman of Rochester seconded Mr. Leland 's nomi nation. II. S. Bingham announced that a portion of the Bennington county del pinition was for Leland. W. J. Smith of Sheffield seconded the nomination of Mr. Proutv in behalf of the (. aledomn county delegation. A number of other seconds were made, Mr. aierrineni re ceiving support from Caledonia, Wash ington, Orange nnd Lamoille counties. Balloting began nt 1 1 .30 with J. L. Martin, E. B. Flinn, 7.. M.

PLATFORM ADOPTED BY BEPUBLICANS At the State Convention In Montpelier Wed nesday. The republicans of Vermont, by their dele- .- l.l.wl h UnnM,.iuf gates in convenrion nM,rii"'iru . i June 20, 1906, in open convention u m- dare: . . ,. . Fir8! That we heartily ana corai.m.v c.i- dorse the splendid administration of 1 resi dent Theodore Roosevelt, and we commend the president as a fearless cnanipion oi u.e welfare of the people. He has without fear fnvor. uncovered and pumsnea tnose gum; of malfeasance in public service; he has zealously assailed the violators of the fed eral statutes; he has promoted friendly re lations with other nations oi tne eann aim gained for us a front rank in the world's diplomacy; he has encouraged wise and help ful legislation and has shown his determina tion to -continue to promote protection of home industries, commercial expansion nnd other national policies that have helped the nierican ' people to enjoy prosperity and progress without a parallel in the annals of national development. Second We commend tne anminiairnimn of Governor Charles J. Bell, and renew our expression of hearty appreciation of the high ly creditable services is congress of United States Senators Redfteld Proctor and Wil liam P. Dillingham and Congressmen Kit tredge Haskins and David J. Foster. Third We note with satisfaction the po litical, financial and civic progress made, since the adoption of our last platform, by the legislature of 1904. it proviaeo. ior n thorough and non-partisan investigation of all our public institutions, nnd adopted efficient and economical methods of administration of the state's affairs; it provided that accounts for public service should be itemized; au thorized the state auditor to prevent un reasonable disbursements; restricted state institutions to the use of one-twelfth of their appropriation monthly f provided penalties for the acceptance of a commission on nny pur chases of supplies, required quarterly finan cial statements by the officers of our pub lic institutions; required county clerks to make statements of all fees received; regu lated child labor; limited municipal indebt edness; and otherwise legislated wisely and well. , Wre pledge ourselves to continue our et forts to safeguard the expenditure of the state's funds in every way that it can be done consistent with the liberal care of the weak, the oppressed and the unfortunate whose careful protection is our first duty. Fourth W'e congratulate the state that the last session of the legislature took a for ward step in behalf of the education of our children by laying the foundation for a per manent common school fund by setting apart $240,000, which is now invested and the income thereof forever dedicated to the use of the common schools. W'e recommend still further advancement in the education of onr children and especial ly urge the coming legislature to use its best efforts to adopt some means whereby the per centage of illiteracy shall be materially re duced. W'e recommend that the teachers of the rural portions of the state at least be better qualified and better paid. Let there be a more rigid enforcemnt of existing laws and a general raising of the standard of education. W'e advise that consideration be given to the expediency of establishing a sys tem of mannal training schools. p;f,h We endorse the action of that leg islature in doubling the appropriation for the deaf, blind, and feeble-minded. W'e con- I.llllluillc Park. urilulile lb nrrtlille cummlHee for having wad lis tiil otnsidi-rstluu the moral and .li)iml llan t Hie liiiualea of our lain iiinimti.un, and urn. thai III leg islature III dialing I"'" in.lllulluit make lhal ruiiaidvrallua armuunl, Wkiht uri llial eroiinniy In aiud,iun U sec ond iml) li lb "'"!

Whatever there waa of slr nraa and error In the management of those Instilullona has been laid open lo Ihe pub lie and remedied, and we know that al Ihe present time there Is n hospital for Ihe care of all elaaaes of l " t Inmatea are belter cared for than SI Waterbury; that In no stale prison Is Ihe discipline better than at Windsor; and that In no secondary penal Institution do better conditions pre vail Ihsn at Rutland: while Ihe return re ceived by Ihe stale f ir Ha convict Isbor Is not equalled, class for class.

We be lieve it is not prudent to entirely abollah Ihe system for Ihe reason that to meet Ihe re quirements of all towns and cities In Ihe state It would ii-eitte the establishment of a larger number of new i-ouria with sal aried officers. We crge the attention of the legislature to the detail of these matters that remedy of the evils and Improvements in procedure may be brought about. We par ticularly demand that Ihe law relating to misdemeanors shall not be affected by the ilMani-e "f the roininitting court from Ihe hou.e of corrertlon. Kighth W'e believe that the purity ot the caucus should be fully protected by sim ple legislative iii.aniires, nnd we recommend surh endorsements to the present law as wiil modify the manner lu which the voter any nnnnn.-e his political preference. Xiiith -We deplore both unequal and double taxation as being unjust and In vio lation of the spirit of the constitutions! re- tiiiircments lh.it each person and corporation shall contribute his proportion towards Ihe expeno of government. e recouiineiiu tint such measures he .acinptcil ny tne nexi legislature as will relieve us of those evils. Tenth We rejoi.e that under the local option law the great majority of tne peo- pie of Vermont have nmrinued to demon-j str.ite their enduring devotion to the sound principles of temperance and sobriety. This law should not be repealed but should be given a furtner trial. Eleventh We recognize that our hlgn ways are primarily for the conduct of the business affairs of the people of the state. and we pledge our adherence to progress in their improvement. In their methods of construction nr.d in the rontinusnce of state appropriation therefor. vie recognize mat utuler the present law some oi me luimi .u the elate are wasted in Ill-directed tempor ary repairs and upon portions of highwayl that are not thoroughfares: we, therefore. recommend that the legislature provide some ineaus for the better supervision of the ex penditure of this fund and the establish ment of lines of highways upon which the same is to be expended that thereby there mav be an increase in the yearly aggre gate of permanently improved highways. Twelflh We recommend that the next legislature give careful attention fo the ad visability of re-organizing our judiciary sys tem. Thirteenth W'e re-ommend a onifnnn sys tem of municipal accounting. Fourteenth That our penal institutions mav be made more reformatory, we demand that suitable facilities lie afforded for the education of the Inmates and every oppor tunity given them to become and remain better men and women. Fifteenth We are in hearty sympathy with the great battle being fought by the republican party in behalf of the people against the evils of rrbstea, favoritism and discrimination in inter-city commerce. we necessary to safeguard legislation as may be necessary to safeguard our people against evils in commerce within the state. Sixteenth We rejoice that steps have al ready been taken by our state in the im portant question of forest preservation. W'e believe the future of our commonwealth de pends in no sni.il! way upon the replanting of onr waste lands with trees. W'e believe the state should recognize this fact nnd that further provision should be made to induce private capital to take up this great work. W'e request onr senators and representatives congress to urge the passage of tne White Mt. Forest Reservation hill, and fur ther to seek national aid toward reforesting the water sheds in our state which benefit the streams of our commonwealths. Seventeenth We believe that the time has come when our people should adopt methodical measures to draw attention to the attractions of our state as a resort, and w recommend legislative action to this end. Eighteenth The republicans of ermont have this day nominated for the highest of fice within the gift of the people a man of marked executive ability and progressive ness in public service as in private enter prise, a believer in the application of thor ough business principles and methods to the affairs of our commonwealth, an advo cate of broad and statesmanlike policies for our state, and a champion of a Greater Ver mont. Our entire ticket represents the ag gressive younger republicanism of our state, every candidate standing for a clean, ener getic and efficient public service. With such a leader and such a state ticket, standing ior the broadest and most progressive policies, we appeal to the electorate of Vermont. MIGHT INJTJBB BBATTLEBOBO. Removal of County Bulldinga to This Town Not Advisable. ( Editor of The Reformer: I noticed a paragraph in your excellent paper referring to some future happy day when the county seat would be removed from Xewfane to Brattleboro. This subject lias been pretty thoroughly discussed of late years, although there ia one phnse of the question that has been some what neglected, nnd that is the possinie in jury resulting to your own town in the event such a change is accomplished. Everyone who has ever advocated sucn a change has, of course, declared that it would be a great thing for Brattleboro, what ever it might be for the towns northwest. There is a possibility, however, mat tne removal of the county buildings from New fane to Brattleboro might work injury to the latter as well as to the former town, because of the fact that the prosperity of a community is dependent to no small degree upon the prosperity of people in territory tributary to it. The truth of this proposi tion will stand the test of investigation. If the towns up the West River valley decline in wealth and population, how long will it be until signs of commercial decadence are noticable in Brattleboro f If any one doubts the Importance to Brattleboro of the trade from the towns along this beautitui valley, let him, from some vantage point of observation on the platform ot the railroad station at Brattleboro almost any day at about 5.30 n. m. take note of the arms full of goods carried by non-residenta aboard the West River train which leaves at 5.45 p. m. and his doubts will be dissipated: yet such trade is but a small portion of what is done by freight and express. Brattleboro has exceedingly bright pros pects, but her position among prosperous Xew England cities of the future will not ne attained by dealing a death blow to a neigh boring town. Kespeetfully, F. A. DeWitt. Xewfane, Vt., June 20, 1906. The sincerest tribute that can be paid to superiority is imitation.

Board of Trado Announces Members to Servs in Various Departments, The director of the Hruttlelioro lloiird of trade held a meeting Satur day evening and took up many matter of luiHirtuui'e. It was decided to tuiike the teiuHirnry hendipinrtcr of the board in the old town agency room of the town hall building and a telephone will be Installed there at once. Suit able permanent cpiartcm have not yd been found. The board took up the mutter of the reported increase of Are inaurnnce rates, and called Bailiff John Gnlvin before the meeting to find out just what the village lacks in the re quirements of the New England Insur ance exchange. The matter was finally referred to the e nittee tin Insurance and taxation. The question of having an advertising agreement was referred to a committee on mercantile affairs, and the matter of having a telephone booth installed in the local station wa referred to the committee on postal, telegraph and telephone service. It was also voted to have the by-laws, committees and list of n hers pub lished in pamphlet form and a copy given each member.

Dartmouth Team Had Little Trouble in Beating Athletics Saturday. Ellis's delivery held little that was enigmatical to the Dartmouth "med ics" Saturday afternoon, and the ease with which they straightened his bend ers into bingles allowed them to win the game bv a score of W to 6. The contest was called at the end of thcj9VHt(MIU ji.i the score been kept by seventh inning on account of the rain, j ),",,,. the visitors would have been win- The local pitcher was hardly up to his usual form or else his usual form was not shapely enough to entrance the vis itors. In' the first inning the Dart mouth boys scored three runs on rive clean singles, and throughout the game thev were able to connect when hits meant runs. "Bob" Trenilall, who played right field for the "medics" after the fourth inning, won his D by pasting the leather over the right field billboard for a home run the first time he came to bat. Later lie drew a base on balls from Ellis and scored another tallv for the visitors. Although the fielding of the Athlet ics was good, considering the damp field, the boys did not play with the vim they have been displaying, and on several occasions were guilty of dopy base running. Davis worked his Lnjoie optic for all it was worth and connect ed safely with the ball four times out of four times up. George Sehildmiller, formerly a resident of this town, caught for Dartmoutli and incidentally showed his ability as a willow wieldcr.
