at 1920 a. m. and adopted the report
of the committee on credentials, which
sustained tie state central com
mittee in every particular. Then
the temporary organization was
made permanent with Cannon in the
chair, and he told the delegates to
curb their enthusiasm, so that bust
ness could Ee expeditiously transacted.
The resolutions committee reported
and its report was promptly adopted
and then, after much cheering and
demonstration, the candidates for gov
ernor We're put before the convention.
The expedition desired, however, was
wanting, as fifteen ballots failed to
name a candidate and at 1928 p. III.
the convention adjourned to 10 q. III.

When nominations for state officers
were called for the following were
named: Frank o. LowdeE, by Alder

35l %; Hamlin, 121; Warner, 40;
Sherman, 81; necessary to choice, 752.

ventiOn for this or that candidate the
ballots showed no material change for
some time. Finally on the fourteenth
ballot the vote gave Yates 1924 and
Lowden 1926 3-22. Deneen's vote
ranged between $50 and 3S6 all the
time, while there was no difference
worth noting in the other votes.

THE BR )WNLOW BILL.

There is a bill now pending in
Congress which is of considerable in
terest to Vermonters because it has
to do with the permanent roads idea,
which is becoming more firmly fixed
in Vermont every year. The bill
probably has no Likelihood of ever be-
coming law and probably ought not
to. but, nevertheless, it is interesting to
see how the agitation for good roads
has at last secured something of a
hold on Congress. The measure is
known as the Brownlow Bill in the
House, having been presented by the
gentleman from Tennessee. and was
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Gallinger of New Hampshire. 1t
appropriates 1924, 600, 600 as national
aid for the building OF permanent
wagon roads. The sum is distributed
among the States according to popu-
lation, but no State is to receive less
than $3.50, 900. The money is appro-
priated only upon condition that each
State raise sum equal to that which
it is to receive under the BILL money
from the two sources to be put togeth.
er and expended for building perma-
nent roads.
1t Is claimed that the bill would
result in the building of from 100 to
500 miles of the best road in each
State Vermont would receive under
the act $3.50, 900, provided she raised
q like sum to put with it. That is a
large sum to think of as going into
permanent roads in Vermont, but un.
doubtedly, if the State could have the
roads the money would build, it would
be a great benefit. There Is enough
need of new roads in Vermont. II
would be great thing to have better.
But without going into the question
very deeply few questions might be
asked that would have some bearing
on the advisability Of the passage or
defeat OF the above bill. Would 1t be

DEATH OF CRAZY EMERY.

Death has removed from the north
country one of its characters in tho
demise of West" Emery, who was
known all over this section and Yer
mont and whose poetry, scrawled in a
hand that was once businesslike and
characteristic, has been posted in
every country postoffice roundabout.
The old fellow was in the habit Of
tramping about from place to place,
selling his poems and pictures from
door to door. sleeping wherever some
kind farmer would take him in and
eating where he could find like hos
pitality. There were few who ever
turned the man away, among the north
country people, for everyone was &C.
quainted with his history, and there
were few hearts that did not beat with
sympathy for the old fellow. who was
once the brightest and most promising
of young men. The unfortunate man
was found unconscious in the road
above Waterford by the rural delivery
carrier and was conveyed to Littleton
where he died. In his last illness he
was attended by Littleton physi-
clan. Not long ago Lisbon resident
provided 800 to be used in burying
the dead man, and in accordance with
his expressed wish he was taken to
Lisbon. In his youth, Emery attended
school in Lisbon and was called the
brightest scholar in the town. There
are those who tell of an early affair
where some women crossed his path
and spoiled his life. At any rate, his
brilliant intellect was clouded and for
thirty years or more the appellation
crazy" had been applied to him. He
was perfectly harmless. and the lonely
housewife in the isolated country
never felt any fear when his tall,
stopped form darkened the door. 1t
was only Crazy Emery" who
needed little humoring, lunch and
kind word to be sent on his way.
The man felt evidently that his poet
ry, samples of which he would pres
ent in payment, was enough. This
poetry was wilt', filled with harmless
nonsense, but once in while con-
tanned CLEAN Of sanity. He died as
he had lived Ion the road. Brad
