meeting out of school hours with their
superintendent for some time past to
construct the dainty little things out of
bright colored tissue paper and in each
was placed few sweet wild flowers. To
many sad and lonely people as well as to
the shut.ins these little gifts were most
acceptable and will be treasured long af-
ter the flowers have faded. To the chill
dren themselves the act will be most
beneficial in building into the structure
of their lives kindly consideration for the
aged and unfortunate and in the future
it may be said of their leader, "She
buded better than she knew"

County Politics.
The Pot Will Begin to BoiI before the
Roses Bloom,

kSOscs AhAOOms
The first gun in the local political cam
paign will be fired on June 2 when the re-
publican county convention will be held
in the Armory. The county committee
have called the convention earlier than
usual, so that it will not interfere with
the June term of court and so that far
mers can attend better before they com.
mence their haying. AS this is presden-
tial year and one in which a senator and
congressman will both be chosen, it is
sale to say that the caucuses will be well
attended and that the convention will
be watched with interest.
The interest of the convention will CEN
ter over the election OF two state sena-
tars. st. Johnsbury will ask for one of
these and ought to have one this year,
The two candidates most widely men.
toned at the present time are Alexander
Dunnett and DR.. T. R. Stiles. Neither of
these gentlemen need any introduction to
the voters Of Caledonia county and they
are well equipped for political honors
1t was generally supposed that G. M.
Campbell would be presented by the
Lyndon delegation. but he has with
drawn from the contest in favor of L. B.
Harris, the cashier Of the Lyndonvile
National Bank, who will have the united
support of his town. Judge P. H. Graves
OF Kirby has been mentioned as a
candidate and it may be that some of
the towns in the western or southern
part of the county will have candidates
when the convention meets. DR.. Weeks,
OF Hardwick, who has been favorabIv
mentioned, will not be candidate as be
does not wish to hamper the chances of
his townsman, Walter A. Dutton, for
states attorney.
1t is generally understood that all the
above named gentlemen, who are candi-
dates for state senator, favor the cleo
ton of Gen. Grout for United States
senator. The friends of Senator Ross
feel that as far as st. Johnsbury is con-
cerned it should send to Montpelier a
man who will support his own towns
man for the Senate and they will have
candidate to contest the honors with
Mr.. Dunnett or Dr. Stiles. The GALE
DOMAIN could not find out who their can.
didate would be, but the matter will be
decided in very short time
The only other contest will be over the
nomination of states attorney. St.
Johnsbury has two candidates for the
Office both we'll and favorablv known,
R. W. Simonds and David E. Porter.
The latter has been referee in insolvency
and the former is the junior partner in
the firm of Bates, May and Simonds.
Hardwick will come before the conven-
ton united in its support of one of its
townsman, W. A. Duttou. He is a part
ner of a former states attorney, w. H.
Taylor, and his friends will make
strong fight for him.
1t may be there will be contests for the
other offices, but the CALIFORNIAN has
heard no names mentioned to succeed
the present incumbents and, indeed, there
is no reason for change.
The convention will be called at II
O'Clock and the nominations will be made
Immediately after dinner.
