And They Are the Only Ones
in Municipal Campaign
UP 10 THE PRESENT TIME
Mayor Robins Is the Only Candidate for
Mayor--There Are Few Stragglers
Trying for Ward Positions
Montpelier Conditions

With the city caucuases but week
away, one would naturally expect some
talk Of candidates, but there isn't any.
This is due in large measure to the
lack of them. No name has yet been
brought forward in opposition to re-
nomination Of Mayor Robins, and II
looks now as If lie would bo the only
candidate in the field this spring.
For city clerk and treasurer, James
Mackay win probably receive the undi-
vided support Of the caucus, and the
same holds as to first constable M. b,
Nichols and second constable James r.
Snnh. A. G. Fay, who has served
one year as assessor, will also probably
be renominated Mr.. Fay was a good
man in the position the past year, and
with the experience gained will be even
more valuable to the city the coming
season.
In ward |, the name of Alex. Gordon
will be presented for renominatiom to
the board Of school commissioners.
In ward 2, William AIexander's name
will be presented as q candidate for
alderman at the caucus, and there will
probably be other candidates,
In ward 8, L. r. Hutchinson, the
present school commissioner, will stand
for denomination. and so far no name
has been put forward in opposition.
In ward 4, where there is usually
multiplicity Of candidates, Alderman
Thurston SENS to be having it all his
he would stand for reelection, and the
same il true as to Alderman Campbell
in ward 8. In this latter ward school
commissioner is to be chosen. Freeman
w. Cilley has been mentioned for the
place.
There may be other candidates for
city honors, but The Times has not been
able to find them The caucuses are
week away, however, and there Is plenty
of time for others to enter the field If
they choose to.
The only political activity IN the city
appears to be among the license advo-
Gates They are wagilg an active cam
paig for license another year. while
tile mo" advocates are doing nothing,
and If there il no contest on city officers
at the polls the chances are the city will

have been holding meetings regularly

Office again has caused number of
capable men to be mentioned for the
citizens nomination, among them being
Charles ID Mather, a retired merchant,
Fred L. Laird. an attorney. and Frank

OF this number, Mr.. Mather positively
declines TO run for the Office and is,
therefore, out of the question. Mr

CROCHET TIES MUCH WORN.
Article Of Adornrent That Any Girl
Can Make.

Crochet ties have by no means lost
their popularity. and girls are 40"
making them for their own adorn-
meni They look neat and smart for
school wear or with simple tailor
gowns. Blues and reds are the favO-
rite shades. One OF the most attrac'
tive patterns Is made In the following
way: Choose an ounce Of crochet silk
and a No. 3 steel hook. Make a chain
OF IL stitches for the width OF the tie.
then turn, miss four chain stitches,
work double one into the nth stitch.
then three chains. one treble and one
double stitch. then a chain into the
same stitch. Now miss three chain
stitches. make one double chain. three
chains. one treble and one double
chain into the same stitch. Repeat
this arrangement Of stitches from the
beginning after the Is chain until
there are three patterns in a row.
For the second row turn. make
three chains, one double chain into
the chain loop Of the preceding row,
three chains. one treble and one
double chain into the same loop. iheh
repeat the stitches to the end OF this
row.
The third row Is crocheted as FOL
lows: Turn and make three chains
and repeat the second row direcuons'
Work six or more inches or the he
for one-half OF the neck. then increase
the width by working three extra
chain stitches and one double crochet
into the last large pattern stitch OF
the preceding row. Now turn and Gro

aud one double crochet at the end, oi
the row: then turn again and WORK
four patterns in the same way WORK
two rows without increasing. and then
begin to increase until you have nine
patterns in a row. IT will take ten
inches of the wide part for each half

mony saws the least she can get along
with for her clothing for a year Is
$4,000. Her necessities further re-
quire two new automobiles each year
and with these and the ordinary living
expenses In these times Of high prices
she finds that she can just scrape
through on $4,000 a year. Mrs.
Gould. who was an actress and prob
ably before her marriage never earn
ed more than $4,000 a wear in her lie.
now ascertairs that by the most pain
, full economy just thirty times as much
is required to maintain her in what
she calls her station Of life.
The Judge who has the case under
consideration. INDUCED himself in
some sarcasm in his comments on
these demands He remarked that the
fact that Mr.. Gould's income is ascer-
tanned to be 100000 a year. is no rea-
son WHY Mrs. Gould should not con
I, trive 10 exist OH less than One-fourth
OF his income. Therefore. he relent-
lessly cuts down the lady's allowance
TO the pitiful ptttance of $4,000 a
year and tells her in effect that she
must live on that or 20 without
clothes or food or automobiles. which
ever OF those necessities may impress
her at least urgent.
There is some suggestion in the fact
that a few days ago The News Leader
received from a Virginia woman LEI

year has maintained herself. husband

that none of them has gone hungry
or ragged and the children have been

certainly is respectable and free
from the tongue of scandal. She Is

zers who, We have not tle least doubt
will be valuable to their State and
their country and credits to their
