Bryan Visit. Vermont.

William Jennings Bryan OF Nebraska,
the noted Democrat, spoke last week at
four different places in Vermont-White
River Junction, st. Johnsbury, Burlington
and Barre, visiting these points in the
order named. His talk at each place was
on the subject Of 1.-THE Average Man." and
was nom political.
He arrived at White River Junction
Wednesday, coming from Lowell, Mass,
accompanied by few political friends,
including George Fred Williams OF Mas
sachusetts. He was met by several hun
dred persons at the station and was cor
daily greeted, although there were no
marked demonstrations OF enthusiasm.
In the afternoon at Gates opera house, he
was introduced to an audience that filled
the auditorium, which has a seating ca
pacity Of about 1000. Mr.. Bryan held the
closest attention of his large audience, ex-
hibting his usual brilliant oratorical
powers. Many people came by train
while Others drove to town to see and hear
him.
A party from st. Johnsbury met Mr.
Bryan at the junction and escorted him tC
st. Johnsbury, where he spoke twice
wednesday evening, once in Music hal
and once in the opera house, both being
well filled. Mr.. Williams also spoke a
both halls. As Mr.. Bryan was beinl
driven to the station Thursday morning
a bolt holding the whiffietrees broke, let
ting them drop on the horses heels. TIL,
horses began to kick and attempted to rur
but the driver kept them in hand ant
stopped them near the station, no harm
being done. Mr.. Bryan retained his sea
until the danger had passed.
On his way to Burlington, Mr.. Brya,
stopped briefly at Morrisville, where full,
800 people were waiting. Mr.. Bryan wa
enthusiastically greeted. He addresse,
his remarks at first particularly to tn
school children, about 800 being present
He compared the educational advantage
Of the children Of this country with thos
OF many countries he had visited, showin
the superior privileges enjoyed by Ameri
can pupils. He also alluded to the evil
caused by trusts. Although scheduled t
speak only five minutes he occupied te
minutes in his address.
At Burlington Thursday afternoon MI
Bryan addressed an assem- blage OF abou
700 hearers in The Strong theatre. Tn
attendance at the meeting was not wha
had been expected and of those present
3 large number were from out Of town.
From Burlington,' Mr.. Bryan proceede
: to Barre, where he spoke at the oper
: house to about 1900 people. He went fror

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT.

1t has been reported in Washington
that Vermont Republicans oppose
third term for President Roosevelt.
We doubt the correctness OF this
report. Our conclusion, from what
we see and hear, is that at the present
time the Republicans of Vermont are
almost unit in their desire that
President Roosevelt should again
lead If he will. They pay more than
usual attention, however, to his early,
ott-repeated and most decided declara-
ton that under no conditions will
he run again.
Still hoping that something may
cause him to revoke that announce
ment in way that is fair and honor
able, they are beginning to consider
who their choice would be, In the
event that the president is distinctly
out of it. OF those mentioned, Taft,
Hughes, Fairbanks, Shaw and Foraker
take the lead. Vermonters might be
expected to look with favor upon
Fairbanks or Shaw, because OF theil
connection, through birth or family
with this state, but no feeling OF this
kind prevails. Taft probably leads
at the present time, but it is peculiar
sign that whereas our people swea
by Roosevelt and would gladly pu
him to the front again, the conviction
that he is working hard to have TAT
named as his successor tends to driv,
support away from the latter. On

Another Hideous Bennington Crime.

A child less than four years old was
criminally assaulted and then murdered al
North Bennington Sunday night. The
victim was Ethel Mahan, daughter OF Jer-
man Mahan, a carpenter. The alleged as

brother OF the child's father. Sunday
evening the Mahan family, accompanied
by Alfred Hunt, son-i law OF Jerman
Mahan, and Alfred Mahan. Jerman's
brother, went fishing in North Benning-
ton pond. Shortly after five, Alfred Ma
han went back to the house for lunch.
The little girl, who was playing about the
house, b, gged to be allowed to go down
to the pond, and finally her mother con-
sented. The child went to the pond with
Alfred Mahan, and after she had been
there some time her father told her to 20
back to the house. Alfred Mahan accom-
panied the child through the woods back
to the house.
When the fishing party returned home
there was no trace of little Ethel. Search
was made and the body was found about
40 rods from the barn, hidden in a clumI
iof bushes. The child's throat had be en-
cut and there were evidences of criminal
| assault.

was the last person seen with her, was ar
