"The superstition about IL wO'ks

cases it is against any room that IL

enough to resist nearly all other popu-

thirteen case arises for their considea-

shown to n room having that number.
In great number of hotels the rooms
numbered 10 are used for storage rooms
Or linen closets and the like, though In

to get out Of the trouble as far as the
guests are concerned, but some extra
sensitive persons will notice the jump
and fight shy of II as we'll, for they can
see IL the numbering was properly car

fatal or unfortunate number. In my
hotel there Is Il Room 13, and, assure
you. it Is Oftener vacant than occupied.

responsibilities in the Philippines
growing out of the war with Spain,
that Vermont will rebuke the admin
istration and its policy. 1t Is there
fore the duty of every Vermonter to
go to the polls and rebuke those who
make such claims.
4. The prosperity of the farmers and
the general contentment which today
charact.rizes the greater portion OF
Vermont's population must not be al
lowed to result in an apathy that will
keep the voters from the polls. The
fierce battle that will be waged in
other states needs the encouragement
Of decisive Vermont victory. One
man who stays away from the polls
in Vermont may keep two away in
New York and Ohio. One vote in
Vermont may mean two in Indiana
and Illinois.
5. The word has gone out from the
headquarters Of the opposition that
every effort must be made to cut down
the normal Republican majority in
Vermont, and that all Democrats and
so-called anti-imperialists must vote
for the Democratic ticket at the state
election to accomplish this result. TO
offset this movement, no Republican
or Democrat, who is not deluded by
the false cry of Imperialism, which is
simply campaign bogie, should fail
to do his duty on Sept. 4th. Let Ver-
mont then sound clear note that
will be heard all over the country and
bring good cheer to the forces that are
contending everywhere for the ma
tion's honor and well.being both at
home and abroad.

VOTE RIGHT
The Importance Of the Vote
Of Vermont
HON. JOHN BARRETT
Makes a Final Appeal to the
25OOO Readers of the Barre
Telegram.

Portland, Maine, Aug. 80. - After
completing three weeks campaign
tour in Vermont and before beginning
brief period of similar work in
Maine, it is my humble desire to sup
plement my remarks before numerous
audiences with few observations
relative to the Importance of Yer
mont's vote in the coming state elec-
tion.
While the meetings which l had the
honor of addressing were more than
satisfactory in attendance and inter-
est, and while the managers of the
of the state campaign are bending all
their enegies to roll up large repub.
lican majority, it may not be out of
place for me to say final word direct
to the voters through the columns Of
the Vermont papers. Possibly the
matter appeals to me with special
emphasis because in recent trip to
the Central West and other strategic
points in the national campaign, l
have noted the unusual and wide
spread concern in the result of the
Vermont election, and because ia
my mail are letters from all parts of
country urging that Vermont repub-
lcans shall be impressed with the
necessity of going to the polls to
score a victory whose moral effect
will be felt everywhere.
Without any purpose of intruding
my own views, but with sincere
hope of contributing in limited way
to the success of the party which
would maintain national honor and
prestige abroad as we'll as material
prosperity at home, l submit this
hasty communication. Summed up
in few paragraphs, my points are
these.
/. There has been no time since
the civil war when Vermont'S vote
counted for more in it's moral inhu-
ence than it will count at the coming
state election.
=. Throughout the country Yer
mont's expression of opinion on great
national issues has exceptional weight
because the people know that the Yer
mont conscience is quick to follow the
right and to condem the wrong, and
that there is library in every Ner-
mont town, and church in every vii
lage to keep that conscience sensitive
and responsive.
3. 1t has been announced by those
leaders, who would have the United
States shirk her unavoidable moral

Wilbur and Robert Wilobur brothers
of the deceased and James Geake and
Ernest O. Palmer his brother-in- n-law.
There was large attendance. TIE

VERMONT OLD HOME week.

Montpelier, Aug. 30.-A movement
to adopt the "Old Home Week" GUS
tom, inaugurated by Gov. Rollins of
New Hampshire, is on foot in this
state. 1t is thought that next year
Vermont will have a celebration. Gov.
Smith, in speaking of the movement,
says
"Vermonters should be only too
glad to- follow the excellent lead OF
their sister states of Maine aud New
Hampshire in holding an old Home
Week. Vermont's population holds
stationary, largely because her sons
have sought their fortunes outside
the state. Every one of these native
Vermonters will be glad to come back
to the old Home celebration, and we
will rejoice over their return.
The matter has been brought to
my official attention, but l have been
watching the successes,in New Hamp-
shire especially, and the experimental
stage has passed. l favor most heart
lily the idea, and every loyal Vernon
ter will help to make it SUCCESS.
I'll should think the state would 90
we'll to appropriate reasonable
amount to make sold Home Week
effective.
II never attended any of these
gatherings, but 1 should think 1t
would be well to have a general plan
in every county, with the more elao-
crate celebrations in the larger towns
and cities. The smaller towns could
join and yet have home reunion of
their own.
'1t is peetty late to have one this
wear, as sufficient notice could hardly
be sent to distant Nermonters. Next
year hope and believe we shall have
o happy "Old Home Week"
