FOR CONGRESSMAN, 1ST DISTRICT
A Correspondent Endorses the Candi-
dacy of Hon. H. 5. Peck.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
EX-Mayor Hamilton s. Peck is a long
time citizen of this city and has always
been an ardent and consis tent republican;
no man has had to watch him to see how
he was going TO vote and no one will
question his ability or fitness. He mas al
ways been Interested in the citys welfare
Our people have not forgotten that dur
ing the first year of his mayoralty, sole y
through MS efforts the extensive business
of the Shepard & Morse Lumber company
was retained in Burlington. \ controVcr-
sy grew up between this company ana the
Central Vermont Railroad company which
owned the land on which the mills were
situated The rent for several years had
been 1920 annually. The railroad COM
pany then raised ii to $3.50 and the um-
Der company were preparing to remove
from the city. Mr.. Peck secured AN anil
cable adjustment of this matter 10y 4ug-
costing among other things that the lum-
Der company remove their dr. house on
the railroad land to their own land in tho
rear of their mill. After spending much
time in correspondence and visitins both
President Smith and Mr.. otis Shepard, he
brought about the settlement of the dl1h-
Guilty and thus secured the retention of
this very valuable enterprise. one can
readily see by Il mere statement of the
fact that had this company removed It's
business it would have been very disas-
trous to burlington.
The purchase of the water plant tIom
the railroad company was brought about
largely through Mr.. PoChs efforts thus
getting public dock for the City's use and
esta blishing u permanent water plant
here. The browning service Mr.. Peck
rendered the city while mayor was the
securing of the Senator Edmunds proper
ty for high school site.
These are a few of the valuable services
he has given the city. What other one of
our citizens has done more? What other
one better deserves the support OF our
peopIe2 1t seems to me tina If BurlinS-
ton Is going to present the name OF one
of her citizens for this high office she
should put forward Il man who is rccog-
nized by every one both In and out OF the
county, as republican of republicans
whose word is as good as his bond, who
is progressive, staunch and true-one who
does not pledge his support to three can
didates for the same office at the same
time. REfU blhCAN'

man is William p. Dillingham;

We are informed by ono who attended
the state mass prohibition convention at
Montpelier that while the deliberations
opened with an attendance of eight, in
the vicinity of thirty delegates were pres
ent at the afternoon session. No one
would willingly detract from the number
OF delegates present at this mass conven-
ton for at most the attendance does not
indicate widespread and all pervading
desire for third political party in Yer
nIlnt.

CONSERVATION in 4 wedding party the 9TH

with the ceremony after he had donned
his vestments owing to the discovery that
the bride-to-be was a divorcee, having a

buke that creates talk, even if it does not
talk and it ought TO be effective.

Canadian Government Enterprise
for the Benefit of Fishermen.
One of the most important schemes
which has occupied the attention of the
Canadian government has been inaugv-
rated this year, viz: the establishment
of refrigerators for the storage of fresh
bait by the government in cooperation
with associations of fishermen along the
coast. Season after season the complaint
arises that bait is scarce precisely when
it is most urgently required, yet such
bait can, as Il rule, be obtained in abund-
ance earlier in the season when the men
are not in need of it, \ parliamentary
appropriation Of $4,000 enabled the de.
partment Of agriculture to remedy the
difficulty. Bait associations were organ
lZed and freezers constructed
Among the more important features
characttrizing the fishermen's bait asso-
Citations are their entirely voluntary nat
ure. the cooperative method of conduct
ing them. the assistance by the Dominion
government to the extent of 50 per cent.
of cost OF building the freezers, and the
payment of a proportion of the cost of
operating the freezers.-Commercia
