I. H. BROWNE CHOSEN
AS COMMITTEEMAN
Rutland Man Secured Coveted Position
as vermont's Member Of National
Democratic Committee.

A telegram was received in the city
to-day from the national Democratic
convention at Denver, Col, announcing
that Thomas H. Browne of Rutland has
been elected national committeeman for
Vermont. James L. Burke of West Rut-
land had been an active can
didate for the Office G. Herbert
Pape Of this city, chairman Of the Yer
mont delegation to the convention, was
last night elected member Of the COM
mittee on credentials OF the convention.
Elisha May OF ST. Johnsbury, another
delegate, was chosen to the committee
on resolutions.
The fight over national committeeman
is told in the following dispatch:
Denver, July 1.-THE meeting of the
Vermont delegation today at the Savoy
developed surprise in the victory Of
Thomas H Browne over James II. Burke
in the fight for national committeeman.
Seventy five ballots were taken. Brown
represents B. B. Smalley, who is accus-
ed of having packed up his grip and
gone to Europe on one other occasion
when he was about to be asked to de-
clare his allegiance to Bryan. The vote
was to 3, one delegate, Evans Of
Waterbury, not voting.
Burke will contest the validity of
the election Of Browne, and carry his
fight to the national committee. Yer
mont men fear that this dissention will
have an unwholesome effect upon the
state Democracy in September when
Mayor Burke will be candidate for
governor. 1t has been the hope of Yer,
mont Democrats to make better show
ing than in other years for its influence
on Bryan's campaign later on. Now
that an internal quarrel has arisen they
fear that Republican success will be
even more overwhelming than usual
The delegation elected these officers:
National committeeman and chairman
of delegation, Thomas H. Browne. Rut-
land; resolutions. Elisha May, st.
bloomsbury; credentials, G. H. Pape.
