possession of the farm and prides
himself on having one of Bel
trami county's best homesteads.
Mr.. Opsahl, since becoming a
resident of this county, has
been the means of bringing more
actual settlers to the county than
any other person. The Battle
River country and the Rapid
River country has been particu
larly settled by the efforts of
Mr.. Opsahl and many an actual
settler in these parts of the
county will, on the 18th, testify to
this by the vote he will receive in
that part of the county.
Fifteen years ago when the
government survey was made in
this county Mr.. Opsahl was with
the crew and today is in a posi-
ton to locate the old land marks.
His experience in this line, and
which is strengthened on every
trip he makes into that country
together with number of origi.
nal ideas on the development and
drainage of that part of the
state, makes Mr.. Opsahl a prac-
tical and strong man for the
position he seeks at the hands of
the people.
He stands on a good road,
drainage and development of this
part of the state, platform, is a
practical man for the place,
knows the condition of northern
Minnesota as we'll as any man in
the state, and if nominated and
elected will prove an influential
and practical man for the legis.
lature.

With Principal Abbott of the Proctor
High School, president of the State
Teachers association, presiding, the
Fiftv-seventh Annual State Teachers
convention, numbering about five hun
dred delegates, opened in the Congre
gational church at 2:30 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. To permit the delegates
the opportunity of listening to a few
words from Governor Proctor a slight
change was made in the program and
assembled delegates and spoke for TWEEN
ty minutes, his remarks tending to show
that there is new" Vermont and that
during the past decade the State has
experienced an era of progression.
While Governor Proctor acknowledged
that Vermonters were conservative and
conservative to the extreme in many
things he believed that the cause of edu-
cation had not gone backward during
the past quarter of a century and that
with the close of the present General
Assembly some radical change would be
made in the statutes conducive to better
things in the way Of progressive methods
in education. He favored the central
ization of schools and in closing told his
audience to be "of good cheer" as he
believed that better things were in store
for those engaged in education.
Rev. j. d. Shannon, Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of the Village of Mid
dlebury, welcomed the guests and dele
gates of the convention to the town in
an enthusiastic and particularly strong
speech in which he paid glowing tri-
butte to this town, its educational in
stitutions and the character of its citi-
zens. As he extended the freedom of
the municipality to the visitors he was
given a round of applause that was truly
genuine.
The program Of the convention which
will close Saturday forenoon consists
largely of addresses by leading educators,
and discipline and hygiene will be sub
jects coming in for a large share of dis
cussion. The Vermont Schoolmasters
club held its annual banquet at the Addi-
son house last evening. The program
of the convention remains the same as
published by the Register two weeks
ago.
The officers of the State Teachers as
sociation are as follows President, Prin-
cipal Winthrop P. Abbott, Of Proctor;
vice-president, Superintendent Bert E.
Merriam, of Bellows Falls; secretary,
Principal E. G. Ham, of Randolph;
treasurer, Principal E. NJ Roscoe, of

Sound Advice.

The Hon. w. E. Andrews, Auditor Of
the U. S. Treasury, in his great speech
at Abingdon closed his remarks with
the following sound advice to the people
of the Ninth Congressional District:
"Actuated by the highest motives ant
with realizing sense that the eyes Of
the nation were upon them, the republi-
can senators and representatives of the
present congress met their responsible
ties with courage and fidelity, and the
net result of the Fifty-ninth congress
constitutes the record upon which the
republican party stands in this cam
paign.
Will this district send a republican
congressman to the Sixtieth Congress
to aid the President in carrying out
republican policies? l firmly believe it
will.
| take pleasure in testifying concern
ing the splendid services rendered by
Col. Slemp as member of the Ameri-
can congress, and speak with conf
dence as to the earnest desire of the
administration for this return to the
Sixtieth congress to aid the President
and the members of the cabinet in car
rying out republican policies already in
course Of execution.
The interests of the district and Of
the nation demand his reelection not
only because his services are needed in
the future, but also because his defeat
would be heralded by the opposition as
a rebuke to the work already performed
by President Roosevelt and republican
congress. You realize the fact that you
will be able to accomplish more for your
own district by having republican who
is in political sympathy and in good
standing with the administration and
the various departments in Washington.
Your own public welfare supplemented
by the interests Of the nation at large
will surely lead you to FULL discharge
Of duty by re-electing Congressman
Slemp.
