The flag raising on Thursday evening
called out a very large gathering from
| this part of the town and surrounding
vicinities, and proved an interesting occa-
/ sion. A large new flag bearing excellent
likenesses of the republican candidates
was raised by twelve veteran voters of
1910 who participated in the old w. III.
Harrison campaign of that day. A large
number who are just coming to voting
age took part in the occasion and follow
| ed the old men in the procession. Inc
names of the veterans of 1910 are Lewis
Nye. Job Guild, James Clement, Dean
Rogers, H. S. Jones, Lewis Ford, l.. ID.
Wilson, r. G. Smith, Hubbard Joslyn,
Eben Durham, Bradley Dewey, and
Milton Fisher. A procession was formed
headed by the Barton Landing cornet
band which marched to the M. E. church,
which was not large enough to accom-
MEDIATE all who desired to hear the speak
| ing The singers gave some very ap-
proprtate songs, and Mrs. H.. w. Bu-
chanan sang the Star Spangled Banner
and was enthusiastically cheered. The
band under the supervision of Capt. >.

n. c. Bates of st. Johnsbury were an
nounced as speakers but Mr.. Ide was
detained on account of sickness In MS
! family. Mr.. Ide's absence was disap-
pointment and necessitated the calling
to the floor of our townsman, Geo. ID.
Blake of the village, who gave plain
and forceful talk upon the claims of the
party prohibitionists, showing that while
they cannot reasonably expect to ac-
complsh any practical good by fighting
their lifelong friends, they might do and
were doing much harm by their separate
political action; he suggested to them
to ask sincerely the question to them
selves whether they might not possibly
oe mistaken in their views when there
were in the republican party more than
ten times as many real working temper
ance men as in this third party, and
urged them to return to the house OF
their friends and help the great repub-
lican party in its constant and sure pro-
gress in temperance and all its other
grand works for the good of our COM
mon country. We feel sure some OF
these former republicans will give can
did thought to these words from one
who is certainly as strong a prohibition
ist as any of them. Mr.. Bates spoke
chiefly on the subject of tariff and pro-
lection, and his remarks were full of in
struction, happy illustrations and strong
arguments in favor of the principles Of
the republican party. Mr.. Bates re
marks were we'll received and heartily
: applauded. The exercises closed by
singing. very large number from thi:
part of the town are enrolled in tn
club and the enthusiasm for Harrison
, and Morton runs high. Con-.
