MCCULLOUGH DELEGATES

The towns of Bolton and Hunting
ton held caucuses on Wednesday even
ing, and elected delegates to the State
convention instructed for Mccullough.
No other ticket was presented in either
town.
At Essex, in the largest caucus ever
held in that town a Proctor delega-
tion to the State Republican conven-
ton was elected by a vote of 2lS to
1913 for Mccullough. Notwithstanding
the size of the caucus it was conduct
ed in an orderly manner but its re-
suits are somewhat startling and are
not accepted by the Mccullough men
who made a protest and gave notice
that they would appeal to the Repub-
lican State committee for a decision
The features of the caucus that give
it queer look are as follows: An
alleged check list was used but when
the votes were counted there were
twelve more ballots than there were
names checked off on the list
1t was a Proctor caucus from the
start and he and his managers must
be held responsible for the things
done there.
The Proctor men had a busy day.
They were out with teams at five
O'Clock that morning among the farm
ers reporting that General McCul-
Tough was opposed to any change in
the present law for testing cattle for
tuberculosis-an unqualified falsehood
and so got them out in body. The
result was a large attendance and
with the officials of the caucus in
control the above results were accom-
plished.
Republican caucuseS to elect delegates
to the State convention AT Montpelier.
June 10, were held Friday night at Char
lOtte and Richmond. In both towns seven
Mccullough delegates were unanimously
elected. No other tickets We're presented
The Republican caucus at Jericho
to elect delegates to the State, district
and county Republican conventions
was held Thursday evening. 1t was
largely attended and the best of feel
ing prevailed, not vote being cast
against the delegates pledged to sup
port Gen. j. G. Mccullough. The
following resolution was unanimously
passed; Resolved, That it is the sense
of the Republican voters of Jericho
that the delegates to the Republican
State convention be instructed to vote
for Gen j. G. Mccullough for Gov
ernor, first, last and all the time. The
delegates elected are n. V. Willard,
E. G. Fay, f. S. Whitcomb, Jr., and

ALICE OF OLD VINOENNES."

Another enchantingly interesting
story is delighting readers of the Sun
day North American. Alice of Old
Vincennes, by Maurice Thompson is
both thrilling and pathetic, word
picture of the life of the early settlers
in Indiana, which portrays the lights
and shadows of pioneer days with the
skill of the expert. Love making in
those days was apt to be interrupted by
the sudden crack of the rifle and the
pinging of bullet on the door post.
They were stirring days of danger, stern
hardship and frequent tragedies.
Through this border life, with its
shooting affrays and fierce fights, Alice
of Old Nincennes moves like being
from a world of her own. She is
fascinating character to those who com
pare her with the modern girl. And
yet her prototype could be readily found
in those strenuous pioneer days. Here
is a synopsis of the opening chapters of
the book:
Alice RoussillOn is introduced to the
reader. She is described as tall, 1.-THE
girl at play beneath cherry tree with
her foster brother Jean, the hunchback.
They are interrupted by Pere Beret,
the parish priest.
Gaspard Roussillon, the adopted
father of the children,a a stalwart French
immigrant, had taken the two waits
and had given them home. The girl
was of Protestant parentage, but her
guardian, a devout Catholic, had re-
fused to interfere with her religion,
much to the regret of the good priest.
After chiding the children for their
rough play Pere Beret was told that a
quantity of alcoholic liquor had just
reached Vincennes. He made no sign
of approval or disapproval, but as he
sat on the doorsill of his home thinking
of it letter was handed him.
The continuation of the story will lie
/ found in the Sunday North American.
