Clear Lake Times (Rep.): The
phenomenal run of Albert F. Foster
was a great surprise to everyone.
and Senator Buckman, who felt so
sure of the nomination by large
majority. has squeezed through by:
a paltry 80 votes Sherburne alone
could have easily given Foster these
extra votes, bnt many thought he
was waging a hopeless fight end 80

democratic congressman from the

it would be a fitting rebuke. !

MAN AND MONEY MISSING

Peter Wright, who for the last
three months has been employed at
the restaurant of Lynch & jerks at
White River Junction, has been
missing since early Monday morn
ing. AT late hour Sunday night
he went to the restaurant, gathered
the books, and took what cash was
on hand, about $I5o, under pre-
text of going over to West Lebanon
and settling with Mr.. Lynch. He
was seen at the railroad station about
s.3o II. n, Monday, and since then
there are no traces of him.
A few entertain the theory that
he may have met with foul play on
his way to West Lebanon and his
body thrown into the Connecticut
but the general Impression at pres
ept is that he has left for parts IN
known.
Wright is about IS wears old.
heavily built, with Il florid complex
ion and grayish eyes. He came
here from Claremont, N. H., or Vi

Clement a Candidate &?

>" The probability that Clement will
be candidate for governor is dis
concerning outlook for the McCul-
logh organs which had in their own
: columns arranged political matters
for the summer and were simply
waiting for the usual ratification at
the polls next September. Things
are changed in day. The McCul-
loughites and most of the supporters
of the machine couldn't by any twist
of the Imagination assign any rea-
son why Clement should reappear in
the field, and there has been an unan-
iimous and anxious interrogation as
to "what is to be gained by it,"
Whatever the outcome, Vermont
will be gamer for contest that is
likely to shake the state to its
boundaries and even to have a little
excitement to share with New
Hampshire and Maine. The domi.
mating forces of the Republican
party in Vermont have delayed
much too long in yielding in the
slightest degree to the popular de-
mand for some change in the liquo,
law, and now when a revolt comes
the free use OF money perhaps ca n
not avert violent overturn, par
tial housekeeping. Again. Yer
mont would be better for more stir
ring times in politics, with every
one interested, for three-cornerec
fight with no mortgage on the gov
ernor's chair.
