The Rutland Daily News says:
The showing is a most gratifying one in
every respect and one of which the taxpayers
of the state have every reason to be proud.
Few states in the union are SO judiciousy
managed and have so small an amount of OBJ
legations to meet as Vermont. Its conserva-
tism in matter of state expenditures and its
ability to pay are equaled by very few COM
monwealths.
The st. Johnsbury Republican says:
Nermonters have reason to congratulate
themselves over the states satisfactory hnan-
cial condition We have said it before, but it
is true enough to bear frequent repeating, that
no state in the union has more capable state
treasurer than Vermont His unanimous re-
nomination at the recent state convention
shows that this fact is generally understood
and appreciated.

speeches. The convention held here
two years before was one Of the most

room in the capitol shortly after
o'clock all save three of the q mem

presided and Secretary Zeno Host sat
near him to keep the record. The
first matter considered was that of the
date OF the convention. 1t soon be
came apparent that an early date vas
most suitable to a majority and Com
mitteeman Dr.. w. r. Sarles of Sparta
offered a motion to formally set the
date at July 16. At this point it was
suggested by one of the Milwaukee
members that the question of place
end hall accommodations might have
to do with when the convention could
be held, and the representatives Of thu
two cities were invited to address the
committee. The first speaker was II.
B. Watrous, secretary of the Milwau-
kee Commercial club. He spoke
briefly, simply stating that Milwaukee,
now as always, was anxious to enter
tain the convention and was equipped
with hotels not equaled in the state
outside of that city. He said the eX-
position building could be had on Au-
gust st, but only up to 6 o'clock p. m.
Of the second day. This would cost
5000. The same hall could also be Sc
cured for the daytimes of August 1913
to August 1920 for $3.50. 1t could not

July.

ton, signed by Mayor Groves for the
