Springfield has a real daughter of
the American Revolution in the per-
son Of Miss Sarah Clark Bingham.
The fact that there are only two
or three "real daughters" now living
in Vermont makes this interesting
woman person of wider interest
than the limits of her own family
and town.
Sarah Clark Bingham was born in
Rockingham near the Springfield
line, on Parker hill, December II,
1910.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution have recently verified the
revolutionary ancestry OF Miss Bing-
ham and she will soon receive from
the national organization in Wash
ington the gold souvenir spoon to
which all such persons are entitled.

Specializing as to Proctor's Platform

The Island Pond Herald has lei
the cat out of the bag. Many of us
have been wondering why Colonel
Proctor did not talk, everybody else
does. 1t was question whether he
was afflicted with the prohibition
microbe or some malignant bacteria,
but now it is all plain, he hasn't any
thing to talk about-no opinions.
The Herald says:
"Some are still amusing trIcnI-
selves by hooting for Mr.. Proctor'S
platform, The platform OF the Re-
publican party adopted by the June
convention will be his platform of
course"
If the convention says local option,
weekly payments and abolition of
the death penalty that will be Col.
Proctor's belief. Per contra should
the convention declare for prohibi-
ton, monthly payments and favor
exhuming Mary Rogers and hang
ing her again, all the same that
would be Col. Proctor's belief.

the Jamestown appropriation bill, SAID
Representative Maynard to-day. = rc sl
would think that the great majority OF
southern members were opposed to the
appropriation. Such is not the case. For
instance, | see it published In Rich
mond paper that Bartlett, of Georgia,
n member Of the Committee on Industrial
Arts and ExposItions, opposed the bill
and signed the minority report. rs
matter of fact, Bartlett is Responsible
for many Of the items in the bill. He
was our friend on the committee and
helped lis get several things we might
otherwise have lost, as the Items IN
some instances. were placed in the bill
by only one vote.
Representative Lamb said to-day that
an Overwhelming majority Of the Demo-
Gratis would. vote for the bill Ile has
talked with nearly all of them on the
subject, and Is confident that they have
not misled them. He mentioned twelve
opponents OF the bill. who had promised
him that they would not vote against the
appropriation although they could not
col:scientiously vote for It.
III is well assured that there will not be
scrio,,g, active opposition 10 tho
bill from the Democratic side, should
1t come to vote in the House. Those
Democrats who arc not for the appro-
rrlation will refrain from voting as
