President Mckinley has honored
several Vermonters the past week by
his appointments. On the special
commission to carry into effect rec
iprocity provisions of the tariff bill
he has appointed as chairman, John
A. Kasson of Iowa. Mr.. Kasson is
a native of Charlotte, was gradu-
ated from the University OF Vermont
in 1912 and has received the degree
OF LII. D. from that institution. He
has been minister to both Germany
and Austria and held many diplo.
matte positions.
Hon. Frank {. Partridge OF Proc
tor has been appointed consul-general
at Tangier, Morocco, where he will
be the only representative of the
United States and have quasi-diplo-
matte powers. Mr.. Partridge was
solicitor in the state department for
many years and has also been minis
ter to Venezuela. His health will not
permit him to hold his new office
long and he will only serve through
the winter. Mr.. Partridge is one of
the brightest young men in Vermont
and well qualified for his position.
The consular appointments also
include that of Hon. Julian Phelps of
Iowa to be consul at Creefeld, Ger

thusiastic Vermonter and who fire.
quently visits his native state, has
been leading member of the Iowa

it looks now that il Boss Platt in
sisted on his determination to run
the politics of New York that he
would simply play into Tammany's
hands. The New York World has
conducted house to house canvass
and one-third of the voters of Greater
New York have expressed their pref.

their chances have played their best
