NEW HONOR FOR SENATOR Dill.
T,INGHAM
(From the Barre Times.)

When william p. Dillingham; of Water
bury was sent from Vermont to the OPP
per branch of the United States federal
assembly in 1907 to fill out the unexp PRED
term of the late Senator Justin s. Merrill
It was said that he would be a credit to
the state and to the nation, because he
was recognized to be a worker. That this
prophecy is coming true Is more evident
as the sessions Of Congress pass. BY his
close attention to his committee assign
ments Senator Dillingham; Is making Il
place for himself among the leaders of
that body. HIS greatest prominence in
recent sessions has been perhaps in con-
necton with the committee on immigra-
ton. the work of which is taken on con-
siderable prominence because of the
great problems that are now facing the
nation. The close study OF this question
has given Senator Dillingham; thorough
understanding NJ the situation. and that
has now sbeen recognized by his election
as chairman of the commission which was
authorized by the recent Congress to in
vestigate conditions relating to imn1i-
grafton and make report to the next
Congress. This investigation will neces-
sarily be quite exhaustive and the mem
bers Of the commission will probably he
occupied during tho greater part of the
summer In studying conditions a the
great ports of entry IN this country and
those European ports, from which come
the greatest streams of immigrants.
Vermonters are proud Of the honor that
has thus been conferred on Their Junior
senator and feel that it Is entirely de-
served,

tifying to the events prior to the shoot
ing said he heard Rayner say to Mr..

that he was wanted by the police.
