LAKE MoREY, VI.
Nav 5, 1908.


In spite of the cold rains, heavy
winds, sleet and snow, nature is
doing her level best to cheer the
heart and please the eye. Feath-
cred songsters MARBLE faint sweet
notes of welcome to the delicate
blossoms that are courageously
pushing their way through the leaves
and underground that carpet the
roadside and woods. Swallows
cut graceful figures over the heads
of wild ducks that skim the water
of the lake every day.
Fishing is great at this season.
not much craft needed to land the
innocents. A good deal of every
day bustling life is heard echoing
from the new buildings at the foot
of the lake, in fact, rumor says
there are a good many people dom
iciled here already.
Gen. and Mrs. Gilmore visited
their cottage this week. They eX-
pect to come next week to remain
for the season.
Mrs. Moore was at her home,
"Cliff Null" Saturday.
We expect some good work done
on the highway this week by com
missioner Lufkin. There is plenty
of room for improvement on the
west side of the lake road, and
we believe he will be the man to
know just how to fix it.
The Pierces are at the Glen Falls
House for the season. The public
opening will be June lst. Ac-
commodations for fishing or pleas
ure parties can be given after May
10th. A stock of confectionery
with cigars, etc, will be on hand,
also. after the above date.

The Register Up in ARMS

The Wheeling Register is unalter-
ably opposed to prohibition in this
state and is really bitter over the
fact that one branch of the legisla-
ture voted for measure, introduced
by a member OF its own party. 1t
takes to task member of the house
CT delegates from its own county in
the following manner, which shows
its attitude toward the man. who in
troduced the measure, though it does
not name him:
so far as in him lies he has voted
to ruin hundreds of Ohio county citi-
gems who voted for him and to do in
calculable damage to the business in
terests of the city. And what good
does such short-sighted policy do?
Prohibition is impossible. He advo-
Gates bootleg brigade to distribute
rotgut surreptitiously and thus offers
a premium on violations of law. At
the same time he votes to increase
the taxes Of the community by cut
ting on the sources Of revenue from
Licensees"
The Register adds that 1t is a craze
which is sure to end in a return TO
saner and safer methods of control
ling the liquor traffic.

United States Senate for Taft.

UIuteu StateS senate Tor Taft.
Practically one-half of the sixty
Republican members of the United
States Senate are in favor of the
nomination of Secretary Taft for the
Presidency, according to poll COM
pleted by the Washington Post.
Twenty-nine of the Senators, dis
tributed from Maine to California,
declared a preference for the Score
tary of War in answer to the follow
ing question: What candidate dc
you individually prefer today as the
nominee of the Republican party for
the Presidency"
Nineteen expressed themselves as
in favor of other candidates. Five
voted for Senator Knox, like mum.
Der for Vice President Fairbanks, two
for Speaker Cannon, two for Cover.
nor Hughes, two for Senator La Fol.
lette, two for Senator Foraker, and
one for President Roosevelt. Most
of those interviewed gave their pref.
erence on condition that 1t should
not be made public except in an ag.
gregate statement. Ten were non
committal, even though they. were
told their views. would not be made
public. Twotwere absent.
The pool was begun the morning
after the announcement by the gov
ernor of New York Of his candidacy,
and the Senator's who declared for
him said the announcement would
not strengthen his candidacy.
To give the vote by states would
be violation of confidence. A vote
by geographical sections, however,
reveals the identity of no particular
Senator, and expresses the trend of
political sentiment in those sections.
In every section Of the country. ex-
GLIDING the Southern States, which
have no Republican representative
in the Senate, and the Middle West
ern States east of the Mississippi
river, where the favorite sons pre-!
dominate, Secretary Taft received
more votes than any other candidate.
