The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1904-07-07
THE CONVENT

The hall was decorated with flags,
in simple but effective manner, with
the coat of arms of the State in a
conspicuous place at the rear. An
efficient corps of ushers seated the
delegates whose places were reserved
by counties commencing alphabetically
from the front of the hall. Admis-
sion of visitors was by tickets and
lons before the opening of the pro-
ceedings the galleries, and the body
of the hall were completely filled.
The convention was called to order
by Thad. M. Chapman OF Middlebury,
chairman OF the State committee, and
prayer was offered by Rev. Guy @.
Lamson of Montpelier. The call was
read by Alfred e. Watson, secretary
OF the committee. Representative ID
]. Foster was designated as president
of the convention, e. III. Deavitt of
Montpelier secretary, W. ]. Bigelow
retaries. The roll of the secretary
was made the roll OF the convention.
Representative Foster made short
speech, recalling the history of the
Republican party, in concise and
effective manner. Referring to the
present campaign, the name of Roose-
welt brought forth loud applause from
delegates and spectators.
The committee en- resolutions.
named by the State committee was
appointed as follows: Addison
county, George Wood; Bennington,
o. M. Barber; Caledonia, Norman B.
Hall; Uhittenden, G. W. Bailey;

The night before the convention, at
the Pavilion, was like the meeting of
Sunday school body, or Y. M. O.
A. gathering, compared with the
fast and furious crowds that storned
the capital in June, 1902 When,
however, the New York express came
in from the north. bringing the west
side delegates, office, corridors, piazzas
and sidewalk filled up and there were
the scenes of the conventional State
political convention. A yellow rib
bon from which dangled a tiny bell
marked the benchmen of the man from
Walden, and blue badge bearing the
name of J. A. DeBoer designated the
following of the young Hollander
who in Albany, N. Y, began life as
an American newsboy and grew up in
the front rank of true American cit
izenship. The Stanton men bore no
insignia OF their preference, bat Mr.
Stanton walked among the people,
conspicuous in stature and in plain
COStunc.
The sharps'' were busy evolving.
or trying to evolve from the confu-
sion of tongues the real facts of the
situation, as to the standing OF the
three men who, willing or unwilling,
were candidates for the first honor of
the convention, the nomination to the
governorship. But the facts were
stuck fast in the mass of delegates and
refused to materialize. This situation
gave opportunity for hope to rise ON
exulting wing" and the hopes of the
bell wearers early in the evening, got
boost upwards from the meeting of
the Wlndham county delegates, who
lined up, 36 for Bell, for DeBoer, 8
for Stanton. and later Caledonia
county gave her favorite son the solid
vote of its delegation. Here the
process of evolution stopped. In the
other twelve counties chaos and con-
lecture reigned. The delegates as
body and visiting statesmen smoked
and visited and swapped guesses till
midnight, while the anxious ones,
in their headquarters, received such
advices as their out-runners were able
to uring from the lines torn ing for
battle on the morrow-and then went
to bed, leaving the situation to the
pickets. The morning brought no
material change, no clearing of the
skies, and at the appointed hour the
crowds, led by the Montpelier Mill
tary Band, adjourned the contest to
the grmory.

REPORT RESENTED
A Democrat Feels Hurt by
BriStOw's Findings
he Wants to Know Who Of the Repre-
sentatives Have Been Involved In
Postoffice Scandal.

Washington, Jan. 4.-With the reas-
sembling of congress today after re-
cess, the chaplain of the house prayed
that war between Russia and Japan
might be averted by a peaceful adjust
ment Of their differences.
y privileged resolution offered by
Mr.. Hay (democraD recited that GER
tain statements contained in the Bris-
tow postoffice report reflected upon the
membership of the house. 1t provided
fer an investigation by Il committee
to be appointed by the speaker. a
point of order was made against the

above charges, and
Whereas, on rage 145 of said report
it is charged that members of congress

statute, Beavers made contracts with
members of congress for the rental of
promises either in their own names, or
the names of their agents or some MEM

Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For Time.

It's easy to understand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doc

facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience

FINALLY one day Il severe and almost

time I have had absolutely no heart
palpitatiOn except on one or two nc-
casions when 1 tried a small quantitv
of coffee which caused severe irrita-

Three-Quarters Of a Million.

Des Moines. Jan. A fire gutted
the northwest end of the state capi-
tol today causing a loss of half mil
lion dollars. The chamber of the house
of representatives is a charred mass
of debris and cannot be repaired in
time for the approaching session of the
legislature.
Tho fire. which started about 10
o'clock this morning was not eXtin-
guisaed until o'clock this afternoon
The supposition is that the fire started
either from a lighted candle careless
ly left burning or from an electric
light wire. The fire originated in D
shaft in the committee room and
spread upward and around the ceiling
of the house chamber.
The fire department was unable to
fight the flames effectively on account
of the height of the building and the
elevation of the capitol site.
The only thing possible was IA cut
off the passage of the flames. The
valuable volumes of the states library
LOCATED near the fire were removed and
the state offices were hastily emDtied.
The funds in the state treasurer s
office were loaded on a wagon and
carried to down town bank for de-
posit Governor Cummins laid aside
gubernatorial dignity and clad in rub
her boots and coat WAS lighting the
fire.
The capitol building is one OF the
most beautiful buildings in the state 1t
was erected at a cost OF s3.OG0.000. The
state capitol commission had just COM
pleted the restoration and repair OF
the building at a cost of S125.000. most
of which had been expended in the
chamber which is ruined.
! Estimates on the loss are VARYING
/ Governor Cummins estimates it a
100000. but the majority of the est-
mates place the loss at from $500. .OOC
! TO 100000.
