Special to The Globe E
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Gen. Robert
Avery, veteran of the Civil war,
member of the Grand Army, one of
the leaders. of the Loyal Legion, and
who has been militant Republican
since he cast his first vote, in 1860,
announced today that he would take
the, stump in favor of Parker. Gen.
Avery made many speeches against
Bryan in the 1896 campaign. In a
letter to J the Independent Parker
league Gen. Avery wrote:
Il shall be glad to aid in any move
ment for the election of Parker, believ-
ing it to be as much the duty of all
good citizens to do all they can to in
sure his election as it was forty-t three
years ago to draw the sword to sup
press the rebellion and assert the su-
premacy of the law"
Explaining his deterpination to work
for Parker, Avery said:
My chief reason is fear of presi-
dent Roosevelts personality as presi-
dent 1 think a good many older men
of the Republican party are opposed to
this constant talk of war and flourish
ing of big stick by the present ad-
miniStration."

PLURALITY OF VERMONT
REPUBLICANS FALLS OFF
Bell, Their Candidate for Governor, Will Apparently
Have but Little Over $4,000 Leeway-This Reduc-

gave Stickney, Republican, 3S,9S4: Sen
ter, Democrat, 1856. These figures
show slight falling off in the vote of
both parties and indicates the election
of Bell by about $4,000.
Returns from 233 out of 246 cities

GAINESVILLE, Va, Sept 6-The
blue and brown armies We're in fierce
combat when halted by the chief UNI
pire at o'clock this afternoon. Pre-
vious to this the commanders Of the
two forces had spent the time maneu-
vering for position The net result of
the day is that Gen. Grant, who is
charged with forcing back Gen. Bells
main army through Thoroughfare Gap,
has not been able to break the line of
defense established by Gen. Bell dur
ing the early hours of the morning.
The northern half of Gen. Bells de-
fense line is composed of infantry and
artillery Gen. Grant opposed this
force in the extreme north early in the
day, but with no success.
After five companies of the blue
army had been ruled off the field for
attacking In, the open a strong conceal
ed defense. hostilities ceased for nearly
three hours During this time Gen.
Grant swung the bulk of his infantry
and artillery to the south in an effort
to flank Gen. Bells line of infantry on
the right.
Bell is On Hand
Gen. Bell, however, learned of the
movements of his adversary and rush
ed up his reserves to the threatened
point. The two forces came in contact
shortly after o'clock, artillery was
brought into play by the brown army
and rapid-fire guns spoke on both
sides. while volley after volley of mus
ket fire added to the sound of battle
which could be heard through the Vir-
ginia hills for miles.
The battle had proceeded only a
short time when an order from the
umpire was given to cease firing. At
this time the forces were about equal
and the situation was such that a de-
cision from the umpire seemed de-
manded. Instead, recess of fifteen
minutes was given each side to rectify
lines. The First Vermont, portion of
the. Twelfth New York, the Eighth
Massachusetts and the Second Maine
made charge on the blue position
moving over very open ground and un-
der a very heavy fire from the Sew.
enth Virginia. the First Maine and the
First Texas. The brown charging force
was ordered back after sustaining
heavy loss.
The success of the blue army at this
time was but temporary, as an emf
lading fire from the artillery of the
brown troops on the right and left
made 1t impossible for the blues to
hold their own and an order to- fall
back was given.

Secretary A. e. Watson, of the Re-
publican state committee, claims the
state by $4,000 plurality.
Vermont elected a governor and
other state officers, two members of
congress, thirty state senators and one
representative from each city and
town. The Republicans elected their
entire ticket and maintained control
of the legislature by the usual large
majority.
The vote was normal for presiden-
tial year. The state officers elected
are:
Governor, Charles ]. Bell; lieutenant
governor, Charles H. Stearns; treas
urer, John L. Bacon; secretary of
state, Frederick G. Fleetwood; auditor,
Horace A. Graham.

exception of the three Northern coun-
ties, where local issues affected the
normal vote. the complexion of the
legislature was practically unchanged.
This indicates that Senator Redfield

The Democrats have all along held
that it would be victory for them
were the Republican plurality to be
brought down to $4,000.

State Central Committee to
Find Candidate to FIJI
ulnd's Place


Democratic leaders began to gather
in st. Paul last night for the first
meeting of the executive committee OF
the Democratic state central commit
tee, to be held at IL o'clock today al
the Merchants hotel.
The most important matter to come
before the committee will be the SUBJ
stitution of candidate for the su-
preme bench made necessary by the
declination of Congressman John Lind
of Minneapolis. The name of w. S.
Hammond, of ST. James. will not be
presented today.
Three names seem to be foremost in
the talk about the hotels to fill the va
cancy on the committee.
A decided movement has been start
ed in the interest of T. J.. Knox, of
jackson. Mr.. Knox is at present a
member of the state statute revision
commission, and was, during the Lind
administrations member of the rail-
road and warehouse commission He
is lawyer of unusual legal attain
ments and is being seriously consid-
cred for the place. He has given no
lntimation that he desires the place on
the ticket and it is not known definite
ly whether or not he will accept should
1T be rendered to him.

thought, would accept should the COM

that he believed that Mr.. Reynolds
would go on the ticket if he is invited
by the committee. Mr.. Ryan said that
the Duluth lawyer is widely known
throughout the northern part of the
state and that his abilities are beyond
any question
Red Wing Has Candidate
o. M. Hall, a Red Wing Democrat. is
the third man under consideration.
Mr. Hall has been prominent at the
bar and in the politics of his district
for years. The chances for an cleo
ton are considered sufficiently bright
to warrant some little rivalry for the
nomination, but the committeeman ex-
pect to reach an agreement at the
meeting today, and to make a nomina-
ton that the state at large will heart
lily approve
John A. Johnson, candidate Of the
Democratic party for governor, came
up from his home at ST. Peter yester-
day to meet with the committee today.
The situation is even more encour-
aging than it was a week ago. Mr..

The Maxnetic North.

The belief in the constancy of the magnetic compass to the north pole has not the least foundation in fact. At ev. cry different place on the globe it points in a different direction, and only one or two of them are due north. In London, for instance. 1t points to a place aboat IT degrees west of north. Seventy-skx years ago 1t was still further away, be- ing then 24A degrees, or quarter of the way around to the west. In the year 1850 1t pointed Il degrees east. Then 1t began to move north till 1859. when 1t pointed due north. But 1t remained thus only for moment, passing around to its greatest dedection in 160 years. Again 1t turned in 1920, and is still nov Ing nearer the north. It will not reach that point for nearly a century and half, and so 1t will go on backward and AarWard forever.-N. '. HaraA
