GIBSON A FACTOR.
Local Candidate for Senator Will Have
Considerable Influence in Convention.

Windham county politics have devel-
oned into a mixed situation this week,
and nobody is sure of what the outcome
of the county convention at New1ane
July 7 will be, says the local correspond
emit of the Springfield Republican IN M his
last Sundays letter. Judge Ernest w.
Gibson of Brattleboro is to large extent
the dominant factor Just now IN matters
political in the county by reason OF MS
victory over Selectman William IL. Vm-
ton in the Brattleboro caucus Tuesday, IN
his candidacy for the county senatorshlp
from the south district. Judge Gibson
carried the caucus by SO votes, although
he had the combined opposition Of the
strong political leaders in BrattleDoro,
and although his opponent, MI. xnton,
is man of exceptional strength WIN Ihe
voters ordinarily. The defeated slde mas ma
intimated that its defeat was due TO tne
fact that the caucus was calied carrier
than usual and before it had fully organ,
;zad IFS forces. while Judge Gibson had
his followers lined up far in advance OF
the caucus. 1t is but natural that Judge
Gibson should have wanted the caucus
held before the departure of Company y
of which he formerly was captain, IoI
pine Plains. N. Y. No one ought TO nnna
fanlt with that, because the caucus onSht

Sporting Notes.

Tommy Guiheen is playing ball with the
Portsmouth, Va, team, and has been ever
since he left Lynn two weeks ago.
The morning attraction on the island
tomorrow will be a ball game between the
Brattleboro Athletics and Winchester
team. The game will be called at 1880.
Hinsdale was defeated at Keene Satur-
day by score of ii to 10 in a thinning
game The features were the pitching of
Sweeny and the batting of young Delphy
and Brooks.
Manager O. j. Rowe of the Brattleboro
Athletics, has arranged for ball game
tomorrow morning with the strong team
from Winchester, n. IL. The game will
begin promptly at 10 o'clock. A base run
ming contest will take place, open for any
member of the opposing teams. A cash
prize will be awarded to the winner. The
Athletics will be pitted against the Bel
lows Falls aggregation in the afternoon,
at Barber Park, Bellows Falls.

Vinton would make a strong senator, anc
had he announced his candidacy independ
emily of his friends the final figures might
have told a different story
1t is known that in several towns dele
gates favorable to Mr.. Vinton were elect
ed, and in view of a possible clash be
tween the Brattleboro and Bellows Falls
delegations, which are the largest deega-
| tons IN the county, numbering 20 and IL
respectively, rumor has gained currency
on the street that Mr.. Vinton might de-
eide to go into the convention independ.
emily, but the rumor is not verified The
situation is somewhat peculiar. j. w.
Melendy of South Londonderry wants to
be sheriff. A. IL. Thompson of Bellows
Falls, in the north district, is the present
sheriff, and he has served but two years
According to precedent Sheriff Thompson
is entitled to two years more, and Mr.
Melendy already has served in that ca
pacity. Consequently Bellows Falls will
strongly oppose Mr. Melendy, and it is
not likely that the Bellows Falls delega-
ton will support Judge Gibson's candi-
dacy until it is satisfied that the Brattle-
boro contingent will not oppose Mr..
Thompson. The results of the caucuses
in the various towns showed that Mr..
Melendy had worked up his candidacy to
greater extent than was generally
known. His candidacy was an issue in
several towns. He was unfortunate in his
own town, which went against him. In
Newfane it was found that there were
more ballots cast than there were voters,
and even after some of the delegates had
been elected it was decided to begin all
over again and delegates favorable to Mr..
were elected.
The attitude of the Bellows Falls dele
CATION with respect to Judge Gibson's can
didacy may also be affected by the Brat
tleboro delegations choice for state at
torney. Bellows Falls will present the
name of Charles III. Williams for that |
office. If the Brattleboro dele
gates should favor Mr.. Piper the Bellows
Falls delegates would be ready, to cast
heir strength for some one besides Judge
Gibson for senator. These are some OF
he things which are responsible for the
,umor that Mr.. Vinton may decide to
stay in the fight.
The names of DR.. George II. Gorham of
Bellows Falls and L. W. Bush of Brook
inc have already been announced as can
lidates for the senatorship from the north
district Within two or three days two
,ther names have been suggested, those
f George A. Weston of Bellows Falls and
frederick L. Houghton of Putney.. Mr.
Ioughton has represented Putney IN the
legislature with ability. The question OF
he choice of an assistant judge from the :
outh district also has come in for a
hare of discussion. Newfane elected del
gates favorable to d. A. Benson of that
own. but it is understood that Mr.. Ben
ON will make no canvass for the office. |

ono sunnort in the convention. Judge |
rank Worden of Halifax, who has held |
he office a good number of years, is a
and;date for denomination. His home

import his candidacy, and thus far no {

,sted itself. Is

Editor of Reformer:-
In Offering myself at the solicitation Of
many friends as candidate for town rep
resentative in the state legislature of 1908,
l feel that perhaps this community should
at present be represented by farmer,
since so many of the other professions, es-
pecially that of the law, have so recently
enjoyed the position. l can assure my fell
low citizens, if they are disposed to honor
me with this appointment, that without
partizan influence, no effort on my part
will be spared to secure such legislation as
will conduce to the best interests of the
community in which we live, and of the
town of which we are Justly proud.

Fiji islanders Sugar Cane Dance.

A very curious and exceedingly clev- CT dance may be witnessed in Fiji call ed by the natives "the sugar cane meke," or sugar cane dance. It rep resents the growth of the sugar cane. In the first figure the dancers squat low on the ground. shake their heads, shut their eyes and inurmur slowly and softly an unintelligible sentence. Gradually they all stand up together, growing taller and taller, and as they grow" they wave their arms and tremble all over from ankle to head, like the tall, tasseled cane waving In the wind, and still they keep on chant ing louder and louder. The last fig ure represents q series of combats meant to symbolize the exactions of the chiefs, who compel the "kaisi," willing and unwilling. to come and cut their crops.-London Standard.

Those Were the Happy Days" the
 vaudeville sketch that won for How
 ard and North both fame and for
 tune, has a worthy successor in Back to- Wellington" which these talented comedians will present as a | special feature at the Jacques next

 known to local vaudeville goers from their successes in the unique sketch in which George and Ed, for
 merly schoolboy chums, meet in front of the theater, George still rustic, unexpectedly encounters his comrade 1 of yore as a veteran snowman. Many were the laughs that Howard and
 North created with this vehicle Now they have a continuation of their
 memorable success, in Back to Vel lington," and while the act is still | new its success has been just as great as its predecessor The head liner next week will be "The Ange- lus,' announcement of the engage
 ment of which has already created
 widespread interest among vaude- yille patrons. This is a splendidly staged singing act, presented by five
 artists, four of whom compose the famous Village Choir, presented as a
 vaudeville feature for several years by Glover Ware. The bill at the
 week is replete with amusement and interest. The programme contains
 Buster Brown and Tige, Leslie Leigh and company, Yamamoto Brothers,
 Gray and Graham, Finlay and Burke,
 Ed Morton, the Govt Trio and new electrographic numbers. Buster will
 present the $10 gold piece for the
