Hartman Dictation Not Wanted.
(St. Johnsbury Caledonian.)

~N-'F
The Odd annual report of the Southern
Pacific railroad has little interest for us
except that it throws sidelight upon
Vermont politics Just at this time. As
almost everyone knows, the president OF
this road is E. H. Hartman who has been
for some time persona non grata at the
White House. In fact, if our memory
serves us correct, he is one of the charter
members of the "Ananias Club" 1t is
also well understood that Mr.. Hartman
is unfriendly to Secretary Taft's ambi-
lions and favors the nomination of Gov.
Hughes. In the list of directors of this
railroad we notice fourth in the list MAX
well Evarts, New York, N. "" and in
the list of general officers Maxwell
Evarts, New York, N. "" appears as
attorney for the corporation. Now this
is the same gentleman that the friends of
Gov. Hughes in this state are urging
should be on our delegation at the repub-
lican national convention. 1t is highly
probable that Mr.. Hartman knows that
Mr.. Evarts is not a resident OF New
York, but distinguished Vermonter and
member of the last legislature where he
served with credit and distinction. Isn't
it fair also to assume that the willy rail-
road magnate knows that this director
and railroad attorney will listen for his
masters voice" while representing his
native state at the convention. The Bel
lows Falls Times thinks the convention
will probably decide that it is better to
choose delegates who have no entanging
alliances, although the alliances are pure
ly in a business way and entirely prop
err" and the Ludlow Tribune, who would
be glad to see their county represented on
the delegation, wonders if Mr.. Evarts
would be an impartial delegate.
Mr.. Evarts has many friends through
out the state who believe he has great
political future and we hope for his own
sake that he will not allow his name to
be used in connection with the Chicago
convention. Vermonters don't want any

The Vermont Anti-Saloon manage

ducing the number of license towns to
the lowest point since local option
went into effect. Its procedure was
very simple. 1t confined its speakers
entirely and it's work largely to small

One Of the longest jury trials in the
history of the Pennsylvania courts came
TO an end Friday when four men were
found guilty in the capitol conspiracy
case. The prosecution of alleged frauds
in the construction OF the state capitol at
Harrisburg was the outcome OF the po-
litical upheaval in Pennsylvania IN 1905.
William II. Berry, who was chosen state
treasurer at that time, showed that the
cost of the building was over three times
the amount of the contract, and the
state claims that there are frauds amount
ing to nearly s5,000,0OO in the furnishings
