Things Have Changed"

The withdrawal Of Dr.. Webb
from the gubernatorial race and the
"forcing" of Colonel Fletcher Proc
tor into the field opens the campain
in earnest and from now on lots of
fun may be expected from the on
lockers. Our esteemed contempo-
rary the Vermont Phoenix, INDUCES
in misleading statements when it
says that Windham county Republi-
cans to the tune of 90 to 1 have
been or are now clamoring for
"some good Vermonter to vote for. y
The truth of the matter is that Gen.
Mccullough, at least until the with
drawal of Colonel Webb, could have
controlled Windham county eau
cuses. Since the advent of Colonel
Proctor, however, things have
changed, and many who had pre-
viously sworn their allegiance to
General Mccullough, have now
been lashed into line by the machine
and are staunch supporters of Proc
tor. Great is the house of Proctor.

CHIEF JUDGE TAFT DEAD

The Hon. Russell S. Taft, chief
Judge Of the supreme court of Yer
mont, died at his home in Burling-
ton Saturday morning. having been
i'll since early in March. His last
public appearance was in attend
ance upon the March term of su-
p,eme court at Montpelier, where
he remained but brief time and
where he was taken i'll.
The immediate cause Of his death
was due to fatty degeneration Of
the heart.
Judge Taft was selectman of
the town of Burlington, IS6l-4; al
derman, 1860; states attorney
Chittenden county, 1925; state
senator, 1866; registrar of pro-
bate, ISo3-7o; lieutenant governor,
1921 on ticket with Julius Con-
verse; city representative, 1880.
In 1850, and when serving as city
representative, he was elected asso-
ciate judge of the supreme court OF
Vermont, serving in such capacity
until the resignation of Chief Judge
Ross, January IL, 1899, to accept
an appointment as United States
senator, when he was appointed to
fill the vacancy thus accustomed.

The Mortified News notes an in
teresting feature Of the governorship
contest:
"Thcre is too the growing knowl-
edge that cx-Gov. Smith is doing all
in his power to defeat Gen. McCul-
Tough, when there ought not to be Il
more grateful man on the face of the
earth tor political favor in the
withdrawal of Gen. Mccullough
from the contest four years ago."
1t is a pleasure to know that the
ex-governor, who was very COM
mon sort of an executive, is still in
the ring and that he is busy electing
governor this year. The state
does not seem to get along without
him or get away from him, but at
the same time his zeal is something
of handicap to any candidate.

prepared to give. The abuse is of
long standing. During E. {. Smiths

to HIM urgently on the subject, after
which there was better behavior for

SOUTH PoMFRET,
The LIBRARY BUILDING.

That South Pomfret is TO have the
new library building to be given BY
Hon. Ira A. Abbott, of Haverhill,
Mass, is now practically decided.
Mr.. Abbott, who is brother of
Austin E: Abbott Of Woodstock,
was born in Barnard, but his early
associations were in Pomfret and
here he went to school, having been
Il pupil of Capt. H. N. Bruce.
His desire is, naturally, that the
library should be located in this
village, and in such a matter the
town is likely to acquiesce very
iheerfully: The terms of Mr.: Ab-
bott's proposition have not yet been
made known to any one, but 1t Is
safe to say that the gift win be a
handsome one and that the building
will be an ornament to the town and
great addition to it's educational
interests.
All that is vet known of MIR. Alb
bolts plans has come through cor
respondence with Capt. Bruce and
others here. One of his suggestions
is, whether 1t would be practicable
to permit Barnard people to use the
library's books on condition that
the town has share in its man
agenent and bears part of the ex-
pense of its support. He also sug-
gests that if there should be library
buildil g here, tablet containing
the name Of Pomlret's soldiers could
be PLACED in it.
There is much interest in Mr.. Alb
bolts proposed gift, and when he
comes here on his annual vacation
the details of his plans will be made
known.
