Men of this generation recognize in
William P Dillingham; the man most
fitted to take up in the United States
Senate the duties and responsibilities

The probibitory law is beginning
to be no respecter of persons. Gov

cited before Judge Rowell to show
cause why the property they own

There were lots of politics at the
Van Ness House at Burlington on
the occasion of the Fish and Game
League meeting. 1t is good while
ahead but if the people of the state
want real Vermonter, real man,
whose whole life has been devoted to
the welfare of his state, one who is
by long experience and successful
business training prominently fitted
to make the state one of the best
governors she ever had, they will not
nominate any of the active candi.

We are unable to determine
whether Gov. Smiths proclamation
designating Thursday, Nov. 80, as
Thanksgiving day, is a pastel in

scapes in our excellency's brain are
dotted with signs reading "Expan-
slon."- Brattleboro Phoenix.

meeting of the members of the Fish
and Game league at Burlington was
the absence of the candidates for
state and other offices, and of allu
sions OF a political character. There
were present of course a number of
ex governors, congressman and
others who had held or were still
holding office, but having HAD honors
heaped upon them time and again
until satisfied, they wore that look
OF contentment that is worn by all
who can say, II have had enough,
please put me upon the retired list. :"
