POLITICS IN WHITE RIVER JUNO
TON.

There was a sudden change in the politi-
cal situation in White River Junction last
week. Voters had been quietly discussing
town matters and talking over the pros
poets of one or another candidate whose
name had been mentioned in connection
with some office but not much interest
had been shown in the matter Tuesday
evening, however, the news spread rapidly
that a petition or demand" had been cir
culated for the election by ballot upon one
ticket, OF the moderator, town clerk. first
constable, seleCtmen, and road commits
sioner, in accordance with section 2,9St of
the Vermont Statutes. 1t was at once sur
missed that under this movement was con-
cealed plot by which certain faction
would carry the election OF their favorites
at the town meeting in March. The eX-
element spread land soon arose a de
mand" of another characteristic calling OF
a union or citizens caucus to nominate 4
non-partisan ticket for town officers, re-
presenting the body of the voters. The
republican and democratic town commit
tees favored the proposition and a call for
| a union caucus to be held at Gates's opera
house Saturday of next week will soon be
| issued.

BETTER TRAIN CONNECTIONS
Commissio ners Trying to Bring about q
Desirable Change.

The members Of the state board Of rail-
road commissioners, f. c. Smith Of st.
Adams, II. w. Bailey of Newbury and
II. s. Bingham of Bennington. had a
hearing at tho Van Ness House Tues
day on the matter Of better connections
between tho Central Vermont railway and
the Rutland railroad at Burlington The
public was represented by Attorney w. L..
Burnap. c. w. Writer'S appeared for the
Central Vermont railway and II. II. Pow
ers and +. II. Button appeared for the
Rutland road. The hearing was delayed
over an hour on account Of tho absence
of Attorney Burnap. who was engaged
in United States Court matters.
When the hearing opened Mr.. Smith
announced that the board had received no
formal complaint about the connections
at burlington but that the matter had
been brought to their personal attention
on numerous occasions. lie said the COM
nissioners had themselves observed the
conditions and believed they could be
remedied. He said the hearing was one
Of investigation and that no unfair order
would be made. AS both roads received
their power to operate from the people,
the people should be reasonably ac-
commodatcd, that is so far as they could
be without loss to the stockholders. He
thought that a proper presentation of tho
facts would lead to a satisfactory ADJUST
ment of the difficulties. Mr.. Smith said
that the commission had asked Mr.. Bur
nap to represent the public.
The only witnesses examined were w. F..
Mullins, superintendent of transporta-
ton for the Central Vermont, and S. w.
Cummings, general passenger agent. Both
witnesses were questioned along the same
lines. The trains which cause the most
dissatisfaction because of poor ccnnec-
tons are those arriving over the Rut-
land road from the south at 4:20 a. m,
ADS p. m, and from the north at 12:0S
p. m. and at 1920 p. m.
The Central Vermont railway has trains
running at nearly the same time as those
over the Rutland road but the trains over
the two roads do not connect with the
exception of the one at 4:25 p. m, and
| it is claimed that great inconvenience is
thereby caused the travelling public, many
persons being left and in many instances
having to pass Sunday in Burlington
when, If proper connections had beer
made. they could have been at theil
destination. The dissatisfaction with tn,
connections at the train due at 4;2j Is du,
to the fact that the Rutland train is al
most always late and the Central Yer
mont trains do not wait. The reason ad
vanced by both Mr.. Mullins and Mr.. Cum
mings for the failure to connect was tn,
fact that they had connections with othe
lines. which would not hold their trains
and if connections were made at Burling
ton other connections would be lost which
would cause inconvenience to n create
| number of passengers than are affected
| by the misconnections at Burlington.
| The hearing was adjourned to som
future time. when the Rutland road ma.
introduce some testimony.
