GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

At 1926, standard time, or ten
O'Clock, official time, the gavel of
Hon. Fred A. Rowland, Secretary of
State, fell and the lower branch of
the General Assembly of Vermont
cleared for action. Rev. l.. f. Reed
pastor of Bethany church of the capt.
tai city, read from the Scriptures and
offered prayer. Immediately the task
of organizing the House began.
The calling of the roll showed quite
number of members absent. With
no delay the election of speaker was
undertaken. The first gentleman to
receive the recognition of the chair
was the member from Springfield,
Justus Dart, who in a neat, forcible
and we'll toned speech told of the
qualifications of Hon. John H. Merri-
field of Newfane for the office of pre-
siding officer of the House.
f. @. Bundy of st. Johnsbury voic-
ed the cause of the Democrats, nomi-
mating Eli II. Porter of Wilmington
as man thought suitable by the
minority party to preside behind the
speakers desk.

f. p. Adams of Marlborough sec
onded Merrifelds nomination, DR..
Conland braced up Mr.. Bundy's cham
pion and Edward Walker of Benson
did the act for Mr.. Ellis.
When the boxes had been passed and
the white billets sorted and counted,
the Secretary of State proclaimed to
all within the sound of his voice that
John II. Merrifield was to preside over
the destinies of the House for two
years ensuing 1t was splendid trib-
ute to the modest gentleman, who
subsequently stood.blushing at the bar
of the House and as he took the oath
of office, no one doubted the wisdom
of the choice the Representatives had
made, and no mans demeanor better
justified the sobriquet of Homes"
earned in private and official life.
From the ease with which the reg
ular Republicans organized the House
it was plainly evident that they fear
ed no annoyance from the Clement
forces, and unless something happens
later on to dispel this belief the OBJ
server at the morning session can ar
rive at but one conclusion-that the
Clement forces intend to make no at
tempt to thwart the course of events
this afternoon. Shortly after four
O'Clock this afternoon General Nc
CUIIough will be elected Governor of
Vermont Then will come the show
ing of the Clement hands. 1t is no
secret what their course will probably
be-to contest the election.

One of the weakest points i'll the Dem
ocratic arguments, as pointed out by
a prominent Republican recently, is
the fact that, even were the people to
return a Democratic majority to the
national House of representatives, it
would be impossible for the Democrats
to enact any antitrust measure in
accordance with their views. There
is no possibility of the Democrats Sc
curing control of the Senate until at
least two Congresses after the fifty
seventh shall have expired There
fore, the only hope of antitrust leg
islation is in the election of a safe
Republican majority in the House.
With the President and Congress both
Republican, there is reason to antici-
pate that some conservative but effec-
tual, remedy, not destructive of the
trusts, but corrective of trust evils,
will be placed on the statute books.
NJ oreover, with some Democrats still
shouting "16 to ~ others favoring
measures which are essentially social
istic, and still others advocating a
gold standard, there would be no hope
of sensible legislation from that party.

There is manifest certain apathy
in the national campaign which is the
occasion of some anxiety to the Re-
publican leaders. Chairman Babcock,
of the Republican national commit
tee, was recently in Washington and
stated that the only danger to Republi-
can success was in the" stay at home"
vote. He had good grounds for believ-
ing that no votes would be lost to the
party, owing to the conversion of the
voters to Democratic doctrines, but
there was an element of danger in too
great confidence on the part of those
who were reluctant to go to the polls
and vote, except in close campaigns.
The Democrats are considerably wor-
ried at the prospect of the loss of two
votes from Texas.

San Francisco, Dec. 6.-The suicide Of
Mrs. Robert Hemingway, the pretty girl
bride of the weli-known horseman. is the
subject of much conversation among her
friends in this city. She was so young and
so beautiful that her story excited unusual
sympathy. Besides being respondent over
the belief that she had lost her husbands
love. she brooded over the idea that she
had brought him ill-luck.
A few days previous to her death she in
formed Mrs. ]. E. Locke. the wife of the
proprietor of the Knickerbocker apartment
house, that she knew that she was her hus-
bands 'hoodoo.'
She was 50 sensitive that this thought
tortured her. Mrs. Locke tried to laugh her
out of her queer superstition, but without
avail. She was certain that her husband
would never be lucky with her.
She recounted that how only a few days
subsequent to their marriage Hemingway
had lost a gold matchbox set with diamonds
and one Of his horses had been so badly in
jured that It had to be killed.
These mishaps, she believed. she had
brought upon her husband. and the thought
that she was bringing her husband bad
