SHELDON--SOCIALIST.
Topeka Minister Made Honorary
President Canadian League.

Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon has been
elected honorary president of the Ca
madam Socialist league, and he has ac-
cepted the office. The honor was con-
ferred upon him as a result of the So
cialistic articles which he published in
the Sheldon edition of the Capital.
The Canadian Socialist league is not
a political organization but is rather
educational in its character. 1t is ma
tional in its scope, taking in all of Can
ada. When he was notified of his cleo
ton Mr. Sheldon wrote to the officials
of the league, giving his definition of
socialism and asking if it coincided with
that of the league. On being informed
that it did he accepted the Office con-
ferred upon him

city is being favorably mentioned as a
candidate for Senator from this coun-
ty. Mr.. Morse is we'll and favorably
known and he would make a popular
candidate if he should decide to enter
the race.-l'arre Daily Times.
All that our esteemed contemporary
says is true. There is no better man
than W. +. Morse for Senator, in the
county. But does not the Times
know that Montpelier has made up
the slate and his name is not on it?
After the editor of the Times has be-
come more familiar with the politics
of the county he will know better than
suggest any one against the wishes of
the ring. Barre is patted on the back
when it's votes are wanted, but two
Montpelier men are elected to office to
one from Barre. 1t always has been
thus and it is high treason this year
to suggest change. Then too Wal
ter Il. Morse is a man who thinks and
acts and votes as he believes is right.

A Way to Solve Vexing Problem.

Thateve difficult question, "Where
to go for vacation?" again confronts
Us, and most perplexing problem it
is. Northern New England, without
a doubt, offers greater variety,of va
cation places, including, lake, noun
tain and seashore resorts than any
other section of the country.
The hotels of this region have no
equal. The methods for amusement
and recreation include everything that
is desired, and the easiness by which
the tourist can reach his abiding place
is feature which alone speaks for
itself.
A perusal of the "New Summer Re-
sort and Tour Book" just issued by
the Boston & Maine railroad. will
help amazingly in selecting your sum
mer outing place. The book has list
OF thousand summer hotels and
boarding houses, together with maps,
routes, rates and stage connections,
and is sent to any address free, upon
application to the General Passenger
Department of the Boston & Maine

before you talk vacation.

ORANGE COUNTY POLITICS.
Randolph man writes to the Free
Press on the Situation.

Randolph May 9.--County politics
are becoming more absorbing mat
ter for consideration daily.
The contest which will be watched
most largely here is that of the west
side senatorship. 1t has been eight
years since Randolph, which is con-
sidered the strongest republican town
in the county, has had a representa-
tive in the state senate, SO her claim
on the office this year seems a strong
one.
Much interest is already aroused by
the rivalry for the place between two
announced candidates here, Col. Robert
J. Kimball and Hon. Wm> B. Wall.
The former has been life long Re-
publican and he has been sent by the
town as delegate to one or more of
the Republican State Congressional
or county conventions at every cleo
tion since 1886: has served as vice
president of the State Republican
League and also of the Republican
Club of Randolph. Ten years ago he
was elected town representative and
Mr.. Wall served his town we'll as
representative two years ago. lie is
well known throughout the state and
is the present efficient state high
way commissioner.
Chester Dickey of Washington and
George w. Flasg of Braintree are
also mentioned as candidates, and will
find many supporters in their own
towns, which have not been repre-
sented for years in the Senate, but the
chances favor Randolph man for the
coming session.
Charles f. Smith of Topsham will
probably have Il "walkover" as sena-
tor from the east side, where he is
deservedly popular. For many years
he has served faithfully as sheriff and
deputy sheriff and has proven himself
a man of ability and good Judgment
There will be a lively controversy
on the east side over the states attor-
neyship unless all signs fail, the can
didates being Raymond w. Smith of
Wells River and David Conant of
Bradford. The former is in the lead
at present, it is said, and in view of
the fact that he is the oldest in prac.
tice and had numerous supporters two
years ago, although he was then the
defeated candidate, it is pred'ctc
that his turn will come this year.
Should there be change i'm the
Randolph district, where William II.
Nichols has served as Judge for long
time, it is thought that Hon. n. l..
Boyden and Hon. j. ID. Dennison
would both enter the field as candi.
dates, but neither intends to start u
contest and Judge Nichols will prob
ably continue in the office.
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-05-12

The Ways and Means committee
propose to have a hearing on the

great advance in white paper during
the past six months. The duty on for

The American Newspaper Association
is behind this movement. White pa
per on which newspapers are printed,
has almost doubled within the past
year. Unless there is a change and a
material reduction in the cost of pa
per the day for cheap reading for the
people will soon be passed.

A Randolph special to the St. AL
bans Messenger says:
sit is quite likely, however, that
the contest for the west side state
senatorship will prove quite as absorb.
ing in Randolph, which has two an
nounced candidates for the office
Col. Robert j. Kimball and Hon.
William B. Wall. Both men are de-
servidly popular with their townsmen
and each will have warm advocates.
Both have been honored with the
office of repreSentativc-Mr. Kimball
in 1890 and Mr.. Wall two years ago.
Mr.. Kimball has been lifelong Re-
publican who has represented the
town as delegate to one or more of
the Republican state, congressional or
county conventions at every election
for tho past Is years.
In an open letter to the Republi.
cans of the town, published in the
Herald and News of this week, he
gives his record as member of that
party, answers an attack upon his
citizenship made because he spends
portion of the year in New York,
and states that for more than 100
years continuously his family has had
a home in Randolph.
Mr.. Wall is the present efficient
state highway commissioner and has a
wide acquaintanceship throughout
the state. Both are men of recog.
nized ability and either would serve
