the board has not yet considered the re-
que:st--Fomorrow night the board will
make the appointments; and II is expected
TO stand by the Dorney gang as usual.
The list filed by the Hessians is as fol-
lows:

Possibly Bryan and Mitchell.

Although John Mitchell, as president Of

usually been too busy to deny rumors that

his western friends are surprised that he has

near enough to sting him. The cry Of Bryan
and Mitchell has been heard In many sec
lions and there are indications that while
Mitchell has not made and will not make any
effort TO assist in the spreading OF tins cry
he will not attempt to check it. This being
the situation, 1t is only fair TO assume
the same friends say, that his boom IS tne
result Of full laid plans. No labor leader IS
more favoraby known 10 the country gen
orally than Mitchell and his champions de-
clare that he would be as strong with Inc
people outside the union ranks as among

William J. Bryan S position is rapid
" developing into that of repfesen-
tative of the people against the Special
Interests; il, in fact, it is not already
secure as such. In letter to the treas
urer of the committee in charge of his
reception in Madison Square garden
Aug. 80 Mr.. Bryan says: "The commit
tee must see to it that no money is ac-
cepted from questionable sources. The
republicans have failed to pass any
effective law in regard to campaign
contributions. and this will be good
rebuke to them, and will foreshadow
the adoption of such policy by our
next campaign committee. " If this
utterance is significant Of the course
the democratic party intends to pur-
sue there will be mueh to commend it

The announcement that Secretary Of
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw and 9TH
er national party leaders may come to
Vermont later to speak in the cam
paign gives ground for belief that the
state machine-tenders are frightened at
the strength the fusion movement
is developing. Mr.. Clement, in his
speech Monday evening, predicted that
the regular republican leaders would
feel the necessity of securing aid from
some of the partys "star perform
ers" to keep Vermont Gin line" this
fall. The time is coming, however,
when the people of the state will no
longer be fooled by the adroit argu-
ment of outsiders. Vermonters are be-
ginning to realize that there are such
things as state issues, that there is
something more important than roll
ing up "splendid majority for the
Grand Old Party"

To Make penatured Alcohol.

The New England Alcohol Refining com
pany has been incorporated in New YORK
to take over the United States Alcohol Re-
fning company of South NorwaiK, conn.
The new company has capital stock OF
500. 900. On account of the new federal
legislation the local concern will discon'
tinue the manufacture Of wood alcohol and
will make denatured grain alcohol. Secre-
tary Otto P Kaufman says that the present
city water is unsuitable for use in the manu-
facture of denatured alcohol, and that the
continuance of the company in this city IS
dependent upon the municipal installation OF
filtration system In case proper water
is supplied, the local plant will be enlarged
at an expense of about $4,000, and a
separate plant will be established for the
utilization of the byproducts of the com
pany.

Mrs. William Ellis Corey, wife of the
president of the United States steel cor

ond district court of Nevada Monday. The
case was submitted without argument and
the jury took but one ballot.
Mrs Corey was given the custody of her
IS years old son, Allan Corey. She drove
at once to her home in Riverside avenue
where she says she will continue to reside.
No evidence was submitted by the defense
and there was no argument. The question
of almony was not introduced Mrs. Corey
made an interesting admission, however,
touching upon this phase of the case, stat
ing that in May, 1906, several weeks be-
fore her petition for divorce was filed, she
negotiated through her attorneys financial
settlement with her husband.
