vention convened at Woodstock Friday,
June 20, at 10 80 q. M, with H. H. Blanch-
ard Of Springfield as chairman, and Mr..
Moore of Woodstock as secretary. Every
delegate was in his place, and all wore .

of the candidates and their several sup
porters were on the ground the night be-
fore and things began to crystalize right

nation OF q states attorney. Three can
didates were placed in nomination, John
j. Wilson OF Bethel, Edward r. Buck OF

Upon the second ballot, Mr.. Wilson had
81 votes. Mr.. Trainor having with
drawn, Mr.. Buck captured the remainder
of the Votes and the nomination. The
name Of Mr.. Whitman Of South Royalton
had been mentioned as a possible candi-
date, but his name was not presented at
this time.
The usual resolutions were adopted
supporting the Chicago platform, and al
so q resolution on the death of the aged
and venerated Senator Proctor, and w. B.
G. Stickney offered further resolution
favoring the candidacy of John @. Sar-
gent of Ludlow for the Office of attorney
general, which was unanimously carried.
e. A. Thomas was re-nominated for the
Office Of sheriff and j. II. Kiniry for high

The executive committee had selected
Harry E. Parker Of Bradford as presiding
officer, but as he was called away to at
tend the funeral of relative it became
necessary to select q substitute at the
eleventh hour. Hon. V. 1. Spear Of RAN
dolph, who happened to be in town on
other business, was lighted on and
drafted into service. He presided in q
most acceptable manner. Judge White
of Topsham was put in his customary
position of chairman of the committee on
resolutions. The committees report set
forth the issues of the day in ringing
style and was received with great enthu-
siRsm.
In addition to the regular delegation
from STAFFORD, several of her leading citi-
gems appeared for the purpose of booming
the candidacy Of William NJ. Hatch for
senator. As Judge Nolan will make the
third senator Topsham has had since
STAFFORD has had any, it will be seen
that the town will have q strong argu-
ment to put up in Mr.. Hatch's favor in
1910, in case he should then be candi-
date.
The appearance OF Dana H. Morse as q
candidate for assistant Judge was not an
nounced until the night before the con-
vention, and the rapidity with which it
was developed is a strong tribute to Mr..
Morse's popularity.
More delegates were on hand the night
before the convention than on any SINH
lar occasion within the memory OF any
body present. The political atmosphere
was decidedly warm, and the hunted look

The Business Outlook.

The business outlook was never
better than now in this section.
Hattiesburgans are optimistic over
the prospect of an early and COM
plete revival of the lumber industry.
The railroads are increasing the
number and length of their trains as
rapidly as they can secure men and
cars.
Freight traffic is increasing enorm-
ously and the tonnage for the present
year promises to be as large as last
year, despite the fact that it was ex-
ceedingly light for the first six or
seven months.
There has been more farming in the
Hattiesburg trade-territory than ever
before. and the crops are excellent.
Cutover lands have advanced in
price, despite the recent depression,
and standing pine timber is worth
more than formerly.
The banks are sound-sounder in
fact than before the panic-and there
is ample money to finance all legiti'
mate enterprises.
All of these things tend to strength
en- the spirit of optimism that perme
ates all lines of business and extends
to every class of our population.
An excellent fall and winter bust
ness is assured.

The Standard
OILS Ne.o Trial.

Laws, as rule, are not retroactive.
The men controlling one of the great
est corporations in the world, will no
doubt deny the determination of the
government to bring the case to an
other trial, as lawless and indicative;
but since that corporation has been
found guilty in several states of
breaking or violating laws after they
had been. enacted, that plea will find
little sympathy.
There is something radically wrong
In our laws or in their Interpretation
and enforcement. Perhaps the cause
of such wrong lies deeper and must be
looked for in our social conditions.
Wrongs against the person are
either condoned or visited with slight
punishment. whereas wrongs commit
ted against property are dealt with pit
ilessIy. Consequently the very
wealthy man enjoys practical immu-
nifty in the halo which gold imparts to
its possessor. What carefully selected
jury composed of business men could
be found who would send John d.
Rockefeller to Jail for his attractions
of the law? The aureole OF his wealth
was around him when he took the wit
ness stand in the Chicago court room;
its influence was felt by every mar
present, even by the Judge who after
wards imposed the uncollectable fine.
