Representative Gallagher is doing ex-
cellent work at Montpelier. The writer
was in attendance at the legislature last
week and was able to note the work being
done by the represen tatives from Orleans
county and found Mr.. Gallagher to be one
of the hardest workers. He had thor
oughly examined into the various features
of the Russell Cattle commission bill and
finding 1t, as it certainly is, a very de-
fcient measure, put up a hard fight
against it. He succeeded in working up
strong sentiment anita gonistic to it but the
conditions were such that it could not be
killed. Although a Democrat, Mr.. Gal
lagher supports such measures as he be-
lieves to be for the best interests of the
people, irrespective of party lines. On the
license question he is working in harmony
with the other representatives of the
county and in accord with the sentiment
of the repu blicans and of a majority of the
democrats of this county. Mr.. Gallagher
is representing all his people and is faith
full to every trust imposed in him.
