A TAFT AND SHERMAN FLAG.
~ Was unhrled Saturday Evening
WIN Speeches BY Barber and Hooker.

In the presence ~ 1000 or more PEG
: nc Taft and sherman nag, bearlnl
pictures and names Of the republican
national standard,bearers MAS an
Infled over Main street at o 'cloeI
saturday evening. Music was fur
nlshed by the First Regiment baud and
,he,a We're speeches by Herbert u
barber, republican candidate for town
representative, and James Il, Hooker
chairman OF the brattleboro Republi,
can league, In absolute fairness il
must be admitted that there was com.
pnratively little enthusiasm, and a
strange feature Of the gathering was
that the names of Taft aud sherman
were not mentioned once during the
proceedings.
The band played Tho star spangled
Banner as the flag was thrown 10 the
breeze and there was cheering by the
crowd. Then Mr.. Barber mounted a
temporary platform in front of Crosby
block and spoke for IL or 20 minutes
on the issues of the local representa-.
tive campaign AS he viewed them. The
speaker said that one Of the most ery,
ing needs of the hour was legislation
looking toward the prevention of dou.
Die taxation and he said that IL elect,
cd he should do all In his power 10 Sc.
cure such legislation. He also be.
loved that the railroad and other pub,
hc service corporations of the state
should be obliged 20 stand their fair
share OF taxation. but in his opinion
the corporations could not be made to
pay this share unless the legislature
passed law providing for the estab.
lishment OF public service commission
with authority 10 regulate telephone
and railroad rates. Mr.. Barber put
himself on record as opposed 10 the
present state highway law by which
the large towns like Brattleboro con.
tribute In taxation more than they re.
ceive in state highway revenue. Fur.
thermore, he said he believed in max.
ing corporations pay for what they
get; There has been considerable talk |
OF late about street railway connection |
with Massachusetts, and il was Mr.. |
Barber s opinion that no trolley cor. |
poratlon should be given charter to
operate in this town unless il agreed TO |
stand the expense Of removing the
edge on Vernon street back of the de. |
rot. In closing Mr.. Barber said that |
ne had been considering all these is.
sues privately for years and that his
treat interest in them was what i'm.
'elled him TO allow his name TO be used
S q town representative candidate.
The next speaker was Mr.. Hooker.
10 man, he said, was more intimate
ricnd of NJ. J. Moran than he but in
presidential year. when the question
( electing United States senators was
oming up before the legislature. il
'ould never do for Brattleboro to be
epresented by democrat no matter
ow able man he might be. More. /,
yer. Mr.. Hooker thought il would be J
kelly to affect Vermont IS majority for !

George Il. Durham closed the cere. !
onies by calling for three cheers for /

from certain figures that We're given

the additional weight of the St. Vim
