TOO LATE
WOodford Caucus Did Not Com
ply With the Law.

The Democrats of Woodford held
their caucus Tuesday night notknowing
that the law had been changed SO that
it requires caucus nomination for town
representative to befiled Is days before
election instead of y as under the old
law.
The nominations Of the caucus we're
filed with the Woodford town clerk
Tuesday night and today the Republic
can town committee has filed protest.
1t is intended TO take the case before
Judge Munson for ruling. As it has
been ruled in Chittehden county that a
regular party cannot file in a nomi-
nation by signatures the appearance OF
the Woodford candidates on the ballot
depends on Judge MunsoE's ruling.
The Democratic candidate nominated
is Chas |. Wood who represented
Woodford in the Legislature two years
ago. The Republican candidate Is
John Rooney.

LOST IN
WOODFORD
DisagreeabIe Experience of
Harry Mattison.
IN SATURDAYS STORM
Was in the Woods of the DunviIle
Section and Lost His
Bearings.
IN SATURDAYS STORM

Harry Mattison, who is passing the
summer in Woodford, spent two days
with friends at Sucker pond last week,
Saturday morning he left the camp
and to make short cut he struck
across from the old turnpike in Dun
vile for the 'city." A heavy rain
storm with high wind prevailed but
that did not dampen Harry's a;dor for
getting home. There was also dense
fog which made it impossible for him
to keep the trail in the thick under.
brush and heavy foliage of the forest.
Harry wandered and kept going, not
knowing where he would come out.
He began to think of lodging place
for the night but as his clothing was
soaked with ram, and the matches In
his pocket with the birthstone soaked
off, he concluded that the only way
for him to pass the night and keep
warm would be to walk round and
round in circle,
Suddenly thought struck him that
the moss on hardwood trees was found
more protusely on the north side,
Making use OF This theory and know
ing which direction he wished to go,
he pantingly sped on with renewed
hope. The thoughts of Wild animals,
Harry proclaimed, had no terrors for
him.
the moss theory CT anged his course
somewhat, and there we're soon signs
of Nalh which he followed and then
oonverged to distinct path to a
stream of water. Harry reyerently
soliloquized:
Thank God, I'll follow down this
brook and come out somewhere!
| And. he did. within an hour he was IN
| Dunville. and bedgaggled and rain
soaked he then made the long cut
around by the city turnpike, arriving
at the Mt Pleasant House just before,
