leading Men Of the Granite
State Say War Secretary

ONLY MAN TO NOMINATE
An Interesting Account Of the
Presidential Sentiment
in Vermont.

MONTPELIER, VT, Apr. e.
Political sentiment in Montpeiier. the
capital city OF Vermont, may be taxi
en- as representative Of the feeling
OF the Republicans in that state.
Yermont's delegates at large TO
Chicago remain to be chosen. Two
of the four win probably be Senator
William P. Dillingham;, OF Waterbury
and Frank Greene, editor OF the ST
Adams Messenger. who the re-
naming two viii be Is an open ques-
ton.
Probably Taft has no warmer ad-
mirer In the state than Joseph A.
De Boer Mr.. De Boer is president
of the National Life Insurance Com
pany. He is not an active politician,
but he is fearless and forcible when
ever he delivers an utterance on mat
ters OF public moment. or Taft's
candidacy he said:
Whenever a man who is for an
other candidate asks me why my
preference is for Taft, ask him to
contrast the accomplishments OF the
men in the field-thelr public SER
vices. Mr.. Taft has done things; he
has done big things, and everything
he has attempted he has carried
through successfully with credit to
his country, as well as to himself.
He is the ideal man, the man whom
we want and need In the White House
for the next four years, and longer,
If he will take the office. vermonts
vote in Chicago. should say, will be
for Mr.. Taft. The delegates may be
depended upon to reflect the desires
of the Republicans of Vermont. My
opinion is that the state will be over
whelmingly for Taft before the con-
vontlon convenes.'
Impetus has been given the Taft
In Vermont by the results
in Massachusetts, and the evidence
that the secretary OF war VIII have
at least three-fourths OF the entire
New England delegation at Chicago.
The sentimental value OF the Taft
successes in Massachusetts. the sure
ty that New Hampshire and Maine
will be for him, together with Com
nectlcUt and probably Rhode Island,
has discounted whatever advantage
might have had month ago.
This point was brought out by ]. w.
Brock. president OF the Montpelier
Savings Bank & Trust Company.

CANDY Market
IS UP-T0.DATE
Handsome Equipment of Lat
est Design is Installed at
Much Expense.

The Central Meat Market on Main
street. owned and operated by John
p. Candy, has undergone Improve
ments OF an attractive and substantial
nature, and is market pleasing 10
the eye as well as quite satisfactory
to the haste. The appearance Is most
inviting.
Installed are two hne refrfgerators
one for retail and the other for
whole beeves. a large and conyen-
let meat rack has ,tbeen put In and
there are new counters with marble
tops. which are arranged SO as to af-
ford convenience and c0nduee clean
Iiness. Among the articles OF new
equipment Is also a cutter for boiled
hams and fried beef which properly
slices such meats.
The interior finish of the market
is Of fine quarter sawed oak, which
gives the placc> a rich appearance.
Altogether the improvements have
materially added to the place and
such transformation has been made
as to cause an to admire the market
The Cincinnati Butchers Supply
Company, of Cincinnati, installed the
improvements at cost OF a large
sum to Mr.. Candy. but wen worth
the price as shown by. their up-to-
dateness.
Mr.. Candy has been in the busis
ness rs years, starting at a time when
ice boxes were unknown here. He
has been successful at an times and
1t Is fitting that his market should be
among the best in the country. as it
IS now since the improvements have

Portland, August -(special)-There was a time when thought Birmingham A hilly city but that was before l saw Portland, Ore.
 The people out here are building on hillsides so steep that they make Carl Seals home at Mountain Terrace, or the Fullenwider place in Niazuma or any other of Birmingham's South Highland lots look as level as a billiard table.
 They don't seem to want big lots most of them being only 100 feet deep and larger ones are more trouble to keep up. Inst so they can get a picturesque set ting for their house and a glorious view over the valley is all they seem to re- quire in a home site.
 I saw one house with flight of over a hundred steps leading up to the front yard.
 The streets of Portland's highlands are rather poorly kept compared with Bir- mingham, but the yards themselves are beauties. The standard price of lots from one to two miles out from the center or town is $5C a front foot for lots lOo rect deep. without street Improvements.

Open Shop and Fair Treatment.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 My long residence in Birmingham dur ing it's earlier struggle for establishment and my then participation in efforts for it's upbuilding, together with present in terests of material character that have here, prompt me to ask the prlVi- leee of saving a few words to the readers of The Age-Herald regarding the miners strike now in progress in this district
 It is well known to this people as well as to those of the entire south that l am and always have been an advocate Tor the open shop, and, years ago, urged with all the earnestness of my being the adoption of that policy as the only one that could insure industrial peace to this district or to the south Nothing has ever occurred from that day to this to change that opinion but rather I have been more and more confirmed in its wisdom and righteousness. The reasons for this po- sition are very plain and simple. The south has been and is in need of capital and labor for the development of US rnGtchless resources, and it has urgently sought for both and to both it has prom ised fair treatment or a square deal Now that kind of treatment is an impos- sibility under the closed shop policy.
 That policy is unjust to capital because it places it under burdens and conditions of dictation that takes out of the hands of it's owners such management ana con trol as Is requisite for it's protection and adequate earnings, while it is worse to

SOME WEEK END GOSSIP
 FROM THE STATE CAPITAL
By HERVEY w. LAIRD.

1 company has never failed to contribute liberally to every enterprise of this kind.
 Good Rail Fences.
 MT. Smith has taken the position that good country roads as feeders to the fah lines are in most every case of more i value to the communities than short lines of railroads with poor dirt highways to reach them In other words, MT Smith has frequently indicated that he would rather contribute to a good pike road than to q rail line that would traverse a country not sufficiently developed to sup port it.
 The Good Roads association of the state is actively engaged in pushing this question among all the counties, and the county and district organizations are themselves getting busy to provide for the best results between now and the first of the year.
 If is anticipated that there will be no difficulty in passing the Overton amend ment for the building and maintenance or roads by the state. Senator Overton mas brought about a thorough organization through district and county suborganiza- lions and is reaching the people with nersonal addresses. and intelligent litera- ture.
 Urquhart Suggested.
 There is this much Of interest during the week of politics, and that is that friends of W. E. Urquhart have begun 10 talk of him as a probable candidate TOT lieutenant governor. MT. urquharl IS member of the legislature from Jehersoh county. and his work in that body was such as to attract to him favorable mo- tice. He is also the grand master or the Odd Fellows of Alabama ana ieau- ing member of the Methodist churen.
 &I.oA tn hart should become candidate he Wouia have n large support from North Ala hama. where he has spent most or HIS life Ills father was one of the most De- loved preachers of the Alabama con ference. and for several years was cd itor of the Alabama Christian Advocate MT TTrouhart married in Middle Alapa- ma. which would also give nm more oi less strength in that section ANaed eo these sources of influence is the lac. thai he has several years of successful law practice behind him and is prop erty owner of more or less extent In Birmingham.
 Overton Talk.
 The only other man that mas peen prominently mentioned in connection xvitb the office of lieutenant governor IS Senator John w. Overton of Randolph, who Is known as the apostle or gooo roads. MT Overton has never agreed .o discuss himself in this attitude, but II IS pretty generally understood that ne mas a great many friends who are going to insist that he make the race for the po- sition. ., It is also thought that possibly several other men not now mentioned Will seek the office, for strange to say, II is very attractive one, though unaecoiilpa- nied by salary except when the iesisia marked importance outside of the pos sibility of the demise of the governor IS the presidency of the senate. Lieutenant Governor Gray won the fight for the ap- pointment of commissions by the lieu tenant governor, and in the future this will make the office of deputy executlVe one of more importance than it was here- tofore supposed to be.

time that the movement out of Alabama had begun? I am quite sure that if any financial aid is required to bring this about 1t can readily be had, and as this is now a settled issue why should not this movement be demanded by the state authorities? The plan adopted by the miners organization of paying what are called "strike benefits" Is another de- moralizing feature of that organization. Every state in this union recognizes the menace to society that comes from idle ness and strike benefits are simply q premium on idleness and constitutes the menace under which this district is at present placed
 It should not be within the power or any set of men on earth, by combination or otherwise, to stop the wheels Of pusi- ness arbitrarily and where that is done or attempted the law of conspiracy should apply There Is no difference in princi- ple between a hold-up on the highway and a forced demand on an employe to terms that entail a loss or prevent him from employing whom he will
 There is need of going back to first principles and Birmingham has too bright a future to permit any set of men to ever temporarily retard it's progress.
 The south stands only on the threshold of it's possibilities but those possibilities can never be attained under restrictive policies or oppressive policies, whether in the domain of politics or in the field Of industry, and every friends of the south .bo,,Id fee1 called on to combat such policies wherever and whenever they may appear.
