to progress under its sway. Its plat
form has the ring of true Republicanism
He paid glowing tribute to William II
Taft, which was received with great ap-
plause, claiming him to be safe, sane and
sensible.
Col Harry Parker of Bradford, chair
man of the committee on resolutions
reported, resolutions as follows which
were unanimously adopted
Resolved, that the republicans of the
second congressional district point with
pride to the record of the national
republican party from the time of Lin
coin to Roosevelt.
Resolved that we unqualhedly ap-
prove the platform of the National
Republican convention, and pledge our
best efforts toward the election in
November of our matchless leaders,
Taft and Sherman.
Resolved, that in Hon. Frank Plumley
of Mortified for representative to the
national house, we have a candidate
whose past record gives assurance of
excellent public service in the future.
The name of Col. Haskins was placed
in nomination by Clark {. Fits of Brat
tleboro in a brilliant speech. He said in
part that a convention never assembled
in Vermont with a weightier duty to
perform than that of today. Existing
conditions demand one who is best quail
fed to fill the position ard while Mr..
Haskins was mature in years, he was in
the prime of vigor; fearless and coura-
geous in supporting the policies he be
lieved to be right, and a tried and true
Republican. The motion was seconded
by Hugh Henry of Chester, Mr.. Tyson of
Strafford, c. A. Calderwood ofSt. Johns
bury and Sherman Evarts of Windsor.
O. S. Annis made the announcement that
Orleans county was divided and would
therefore make no seconding speeches.
Hon. Frank Plumley was nominated
by John Gordon of Barre, who said be-
fore naming another candidate due
praise should be given Col. Haskins for
the good work he had accomplished in
the past. He said our forefathers struck
off the most perfect form of civil govern
ment known; frequent conventions and
no. long terms of Office. He cited the
fact that no President of the United
States had ruled longer than eight years,
and said if cheers sufficed for the head of
a nation the same should hold with
Vermont congressman.
The nomination was seconded by Mr..
Parsons of Island Pond, E. w. Smith OF
Wells River, p N. Granger of Peacham
and H. H. Blanchard of Springfield. The
result of the ballot was,

As Mr.. Plumley entered the hall the CON

Mr.. Plumley spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: For this valued expression
of your confidence and regard, from the
bottom of a deep and grateful heart
thank you.
If your selection should be ratified at
the polls it will bring to me the realiza-
tion of dream of many years.
1t is also to be said that should your
nomination be followed by an election
making me your representative in Con-
gress from this District | pledge to you,
gentlemen of the Convention, and
through you to the people of this district
that | bring to the discharge of the
duties of the high Office desire and a
purpose to give you industry, honesty
and fidelity
shall stand upon the platform of the
Republican party interpreted by my best
Judgment, in accordance with its
principles and the dictates of my con
science.
This is no time nor place for an ex-
tended speech When the state platform
is formulated and we have before us the
national platform as well, there will
then be presented the issues of this cam
paign. l shall be happy then to meet
YOU in your respective localities for their
discussion. Until then permit me to say
that the Republican party of this dis
trict, the state and the country, has a
Just pride in its history of the past,
achievements of the present and sanguine
hopes of the future. From the admins
tration of the immortal Lincoln, saviour
of his country, emancipation, martyr, to
the current administration, there have
been a series of great and striking events
which have commanded the admiration
of the world and not paralleled by any
historic precedent.
From the administration of our peer
less president, Theodore Roosevelt, there
will be no change, but transition only to
the administration of that eminent
jurist, great statesman, trained execu-
tive, and skilled diplomat, William HI.
Taft, by the voice of the people and the
voice of God, the next president of the
United States.

are that this branch of Industry Will

that business will further increase.

est in the history of the company
Coal is one of the principal Indus
tries OF the states. Thousands of men
and boys are. employed in the coal
mines of Maryland, and West Vir-
ginia, and the incomes Of other
thousands are directly derived from
this source.
So promising is the outlook for the
coal business that fears are enter
tafned in, some quarters that there
will be an actual scarcity Of labor
within a few months. These fears
are based largely upon the fact that
when the depression struck the coal
regions the floating population left,
foreigners. as rule. returning TO
their native countries in Europe
Even now some mine operators say
they. could use larger number of
miners.
One of the most encouraging feat
