On the night following the speed and

habitability test should be made by
submerging the Fulton at the bottom

ever made under naval supervision to
determine whether men can live aboard

Cooking utensils as well as reading

Although the Plymouth did not pass
within mile of the submerged Fulton.
several of the submerged party were
awakened by hearing her ploughing
through the water. Prior to retiring
for the night the water.imprlsoned
company had an excellent meal. which
was prepared on board. and after the

The air reservoirs were filed to their
full capacity of forty cubic feet; and
when the Fulton rose to the surface at

ST IH0nAS'S SEMINARY
Collection to he Taken Up in Roman
 Catholic Churches.

By direction of Bishop Tierney a collection for St Thomas's seminary will be taken up in all the churches of the diocese on the third Sunday of Oc- tober. The purpose of the collection is to raise funds for the payment or the debt on the new building which was opened three years ago for the accommodation of diocesan students. A purse of $6.OOO would be a perpetual source of support for one student. In an official letter to the clergy the bish- op says: ''The establishment of this important institution has been made possible by the generosity of the faithful To clear the present indebr- edness and thereby render the progress of the seminary more secure, must certainly find favor with all Catholics, interested as they are in the most complete and effective education of the clergy"

ENRON CdIedonidn:

EDITOR Cdledonidn:
Yes, this is presidential year and
we want a man for candidate for
governor that can draw out the voters
September 6, man that is universally
liked, one who can be approached by
all classes, one who will command
the respect of the laboring class, one
who will know them after election
as well as before. Can Martin, Stan
ton or DeBoer do this any better than
Bell? don't think so. Neither does
any other sober minded man think so.
G. j. Bell of Walden has been before
the public a good many years in
different capacities and he wears the
same size hat that he wore 10 years
ago, and his work has been all right
The board of railroad commissioners
that he was member of few years
ago did more to bring about a reform
in some needed things than has been
done before or since. l was in a
position to know what / am talking
about. G. J. Bell is a man from head
to feet. Make him your choice at the
June convention and his election is
assured. He will give Vermont an
able, efficient and creditable admin
istration-one that the voters of
Vermont will not be ashamed of.
Voters, you will never regret your
action.
The st. Adams Messenger says:
"Let's settle one thing before it is too
late. Who was the original DeBoer
man?" Dear Messenger, that's dead
easy to settle. FRANKLIN COUNTY.
