STRENUOUS EFFORTS

a special to the st. Albeus Mes
seuger from Brattleboro dated Aug. 4
says: Notwithstanding G. II. Dav-
enports assertion that he would rath-
er give 81, 600 than be elected Senato'
from Windham county, a tremendous
effort is being made to secure his cleo
tion. Mr.. Davenport was nominated
by the Democratic county convention
at Newfane Tuesday of last week. At
the same time the Democrats endors-
ed NJ. r. Lawrence, of Rockingham,
license, local option man, and one of
the Republican nominees for Senator,
so that Mr. Lawrence is sdre to be
elected. The other Republican nomi-
nee is G. d. Spencer Of Wilmington, a
firm believer in the prohibitory law.
In order to defeat Mr. Spencer and
elect Mr.. Davenport, and thus send
two license, local option Senators to
the Legislature, the local option men
in Brattleboro and Bellows Falls
filed in the county clerks office Sat
urday night certificate of nomination
endorsing the entire Democratic tick
ct. The ticket is styled License,
Local Option Ticket. -

RURAL NAIL DELIVERY.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Figures 3. pre-
pared at the postoffice department
Saturday show the rapid development
of the rural free delivery service un-
der the direction of A. w. Machen,
the able CHIEF of the free delivery
service. These figures show that on
the first of August there were in oper-
alton /, Q25 rural free delivery routes
in the United States. They are distri-
buted through every State and terri
tory and their number is increased
as rapidly as the service can be organ
lied in new fields.
The routes are established in local
tiles in which requestssfor the service
are made. When a request is received
it is referred too an expert in the field,
who visits the locality and goes over
the proposed route. He takes into
consideration the density of popula-
tion, the facilities for transportation
and various other factors and submits
report to the department recomend-
ing the establishment of the route
or advising against it. His recon-
mendation is usually followed and
if it is favorable the service is estab-
lished at once.
There are now in the Office and on
the hands of men i'll the field IL, ,043
petitions for the establishment OF the
service. 1t viii be impossible for the
department to comply with all OF these
requests within the amount OF 81, coo, =
Geo appropriated by Congress, but Mr..
Machen hopes by the end of the cur
rent fiscal year to have in operation
fully 10, 600 rodtes, an increa. OF
fifty per cent over the preseuV num-
Der.
The present service covers abou
300, 600 square miles of territory ard
serves a population of abodt 5000, 600.

ment to extend the delivery service
until practically every family i'll the
