Mr.. Clements Elsctio neerinr Dinner


The Hon. Percival w. Clement, indie
pendent and Clementine candidate for gov
ernor OF Vermont, sought the republican
nomination in a private car and evening
clothes and to the music Of bands and
"ragtime" minstels. He is keeping up his
diverting tours and turns. Tonight he is
going to feed and I'LL 2000 voters at the
Rutland fair grounds. There will be torch
light professions and bands by the score;
and the dinner or supper in the open air
will be or ought to be as pretty as some
pictures. The Green Mountaineer has an
able appetite and no disposition to absent
himself from shows for which somebody
else is good enough or green enough to pay,
He will eat and wonder, But we are afraid
his proviate opinion OF Mr.. Clements wis
dom will not be increased. Somethin for
nothin is a method OF exchange which
the Vermonteys have no objection to profit
ing by, but the siver OF the ''somethin. "

Chairman Led Him Away.
MAN TALKED lNCOHERENTLY
Attempted to Deliver Speech in Behalf
OF Clement-Audience Hooted and
Yelled and Left the Hall-Local
Option Club Onicials Disgust
ed-Much Excitement.

Erattleboro, Aug. 25.-The most specta-
cular incident in the political campaign
up to the present time took place to night
in the Auditorium in this place in the pres
encc of 200 people when the Rev. Sam
Small. the Georgia evangelist, attempted
to speak in behalf of the Clement high IL
cense-local option faction.
Small was the only speaker advertised
for the rally and the crowd had gathered
only to hear his arguments When Small
was introduced by Col. Z. A. Miles he
staggered about the stage and uttered a
few incohercnt remarks. The audience be-
gan to boot and yell and people filed out
of the hall rapidly. Small continued his
rambling talk for three or four minutes
and when about half the people had left
the hall and the remainder were yelling
on all sides, he was led from the stage by
Col. Miles. III the meantime all the Off
Gals of the Local option club seated on
the stage had left In disgust
Just what the matter with Small was no
one is able to state definitely; but that he
was in IA bcfudded condition there is no
doubt. The incident has created no end
of excitement and was the talk about the
street until midnight. The Free Press cor
respondent attempted to interview Small
at the Brooks House late in the evening
but he was still in a dazed condition and
was unable to talk.

of the Denver & Northwestern
railroad to Salt Lake has been let
to De Remer & Olson. This is for the
grading Of the ten miles between Ar
vada and Coal Greek. Colo. Active
work is to begin tomorrow morning,
and the entire ten miles is to be ready
for the rails within sixty days. 1t is
expected that the rails viii be laid by

NJ. Il. Rogers, until recently con-

gineer of the new MOffat road, and VIII

ers was in the engineering department
Of the Denver & Rio Grande. He was
in charge of the standard gauge I'M
prOvements of the Denver & RIO

Tennessee pass, and has the reputation
of being one of the best locating engl-
neers in the country.

sidiary regions that offer cOnsidera bic

Branches Are Planned.
In Colorado several branches have
already been planned. One is from

in the world. Being the shortest route
as well as the most beautiful. it is FIG
ured that the Denver & Northwestern
win be an exceedingly popular pas
senger route. The Importance Of TIM
in the earnings is shown in some de
gree by the record of the Rio Grand
Western last year. The passenge
earnings were S1.066. 3S3.5S. and tn
freight earnings $3.50. 25S.64.
Railroad men see in the advent Of IN
San Pedro and Denver < Northwester

roads. The increased competition
also sure to stimulate the tourist train

Il do not mean to say that the two
interests are in any way antagonistic;
all I mean to assert at the present time
is that it has not yet been found nee
essarv 10 form such a combination for
this purpose.
Mr.. Clark has not become interested
with Gould in the project of building a
road from pittsburg to the Atlantic
seabOard. Anyone that is al all ia
miliar with the plans of Senator Clark
knows that he is not contemplating
such action. Furthermore, there has
been no sale of Salt Ldke-LOs Angeles
stock to Gould, and so far as l know
he has no interest whatever in the
new road.
1.-THE published statement purporting
10 be made by J. Ross Clark was
twisted in such a way as to make it
appear that he knew of a deal with
Gould The truth is that he simply
denied having heard of any combina-
ton of the kind"
