CLOSING RALLY At
BURLINGTON LAST
EVENING
Leslie N. Shaw and Henry C.
Ide the Speakers
D. J. FOSTER IN THE CHAIR
Elk. Secretary Of the Treasury Says
Bryan Once in White House
Would be Dictator
D. J. FOSTER IN THE CHAIR

Burlington, Aug. 2S.-The closing
rally of the republican campaign in
Burlington was held last night in the
Strong theatre, Congressman Foster
presided and the speakers were ex-
Secretary Leslie NJ. Shaw and eX-Gov.
Henry c. Ide of st. Johnsbury. Mr..
Shaw said in part:
The platform of our opponents
asks the question and the thrice nomi-
mated for presidential honors iterates
and reiterates it: Shall the people
rule? OF course they shall and do,
Does the democratic party have diff
ferent method by which the people
shall express their sovereign power
than has the republican party Did
democratic voters have more voice at
Denver than republican voters had at
Chicago?
Il submit that it i'll becomes a man
who brooks no opposition in his dom
ination of political party to ask the
question Shall the people rule?" IL
is another example OF stop, thief If
the matchless orator and ambitious
leader of the opposition party were
once seated in the White House there
would be no further use for Congress
or court. governor or justice of the
peace
i"Shall the people rule? Verify they
shall They had something to say
in November, 1896. They were more
emphatic in November, 1900 and they
will be vocal in November 1908. The
interrogatOry raises no issue unless
our opponents intend to change the
method by which the people shall
rule This seems to be their purpose
They demand the election of United
States senator by direct vote and ex-
pressly declare that this shall be the
gateway to other national reforms
BY this | understand they mean ulti
mately so TO amend the constitution
as to provide for the initiative and re.
ferendum. This opinion was empha
sized by the fact that the nominee OF
the party who wrote the platform al
Denver demanded such a provision In
tthe constitution OF Oklahoma.
THE fathers created representative
government, and not pure democracy
While Jefferson and his compatriots
declared that governments derive
their power from the consent of the
governed, they very well understand
that the people would be unable tC
legislate wisely at the polls They
knew from history. as we know from
experience, that intelligent ant
thoughtful communities are ever ant
anon swept by waves of sentiment
They therefore, provided several me
thods by which the people might be
safeguarded against these. One o.
the safeguards is the Senate, the men
bers of which are chosen by oath
bound members of the legislature sub
ject to impeachment. 1t was the de
liberate intention of the fathers tC
protect the people against hastily ex
Ipressed and considered sentiments as
distinguished from carefully thought
out and formulated convictions.
THE direct primary law, election
of United States senator's by direc
vote of the people, and initiative anC
referendum, though peacefully ant
unanimously adopted, spell nothing. o
revolution in our form of govern
lment."

ONLY ONE SITE SUITABLE
Government May Condemn Property
at Brattleboro for Postoffice

Brattleboro, Aug. 2S.-James p.
Low, site agent for the treasury de-
partment at Washington. was in Brat
tleboro yesterday looking up the mat.
ter of site for the government build
ing which will be erected here. About
80 members OF the board OF trade
were hastily assembled last night to
talk with Mr.. Low. Mr. Low looked
up a variety OF matters concerning
the project. 1t was definitely an
nounced that the site would have to
be on a corner.
Mr.. Low practically decided to re-
port that none of the sites on which
bids were made is available and that
the only available site is at the corner
of Main and Grove streets, where the
residences of DR.. Charles s. Pratt and
Charles H. Thompson are situated.
He will also report that the price
charged for the two lots which is
practically $4,000, is exhorbitant and
will recommend that the property be
taken by condemnation proceedings.
The assessed valuation Of the proper
ty is less than $4,000.

PARDON FOR VAN scHAIcK
Captain Of llIFated Slocum Expects
Release Within Year.

Poughkeepsie, Aug. 2S.-Captain
Van Setback, who commanded the
i'll fated General Slocum, was SEN
fenced to serve ten years in Sing
Sing after the accident in the East
River, in which so many lives were
lost, expects to be pardoned within a
year.
Van Schaick runs between Stony
Point and Ossining on the prison
steamer Bristol. The vessel is un-
dergoing repairs at Marvel's ship
yard in Newburgh.
The captain is surprisingly cheer.
full. He is not obliged to wear the
conspicuous prison garb, and has
practically no work to do. He runs
back and forth on the Bristol because
his advice on river matters is some
prison authorities, believing that the
open air will keep him In good health
are giving him every possible oppor-
tunity to be out of doors.
Every day the Bristol sails from

Stony Point with load of convict
workmen Captain Van Schaick is al
ways on board. The prisoners take
lunches with them and remain away
from Sing Sing all day. Captain Van
Schaick has served about six months
of his sentence and due to his age, he
ranks as "trusty."

MONTPELIER is FORTUNATE
Nomination Of DeBoer for Represen
tative a Wise Action

After prophesying victory for the
national, state and county republican
tickets, Mr. DeBoer, the republican
nominee for representative from Mont
pelier, who poke at the rally on
state issues on Friday evening, said,
And as to your representative, your
choice shall be my choice; but If 1t
should chance TO fall on me l should
prefer to have 1t fall heavily. II
elected l will give you my best ser
vice and promise you that it will be
thoughtful, honest and sincere"
The republicans of this city are ex-
lceedingly fortunate this year in hav-
ing such a man as Mr. DeBoer willing
and public spirited enough to become
a candidate for representative in the
face of the tremendous responsibility
and work that is attached to the pre-
sidency of large insurance company
like the National Life. Such men as
he will be needed by our legislature
this fall and his presence in the
House will be power that will re-
fleet honor upon the city that sent
him.
In some cities of the country the
people would be suspicious in cleo
Ting q man at the head of big insur-
ance company to legislature which
was to discuss questions of state con-
Itrol in connection with corporations
and the question OF taxation. In
Montpelier 1t is different for the deal
ings are with a man in whom the
whole city and state has the most
explicit confidence recognizing in Mr.
DeBoer man possessed with rare
combination of intellect and character
the like of which is seldom found in
one man. AT the rally he was frank
with reference to his stand, He said
that there was a difference in kinds OF
corporations, there were national
banks the principal service of which
was to keep business running nicely
in the place in which located, there
were savings banks the service of
which was to furnish form of invest
ment for small savers, there were mu-
Itual companies like the one with
which he was connected. the earnings
of which eventually came back to the
policy holders who were the real own
lers. Mr. DeBoer stated that he was
willing that all corporations should
be allowed to show up their kind and
service to the community and then be
taxed and that he believed the cor
Iporations should bear their just bur
den of taxation.
AS to the laboring man, he stated
that he realized that the stability OF
all things rested primarily upon the
man who worked with his hands and
that as far as a just and proper divi
sion of earnings, or results from labor
were concerned, he was the laborinl
mans friend
The above statements are from
man in whom everyone has confidence

GOVERNOR GENERALS WIFE
Lady Northcote Of Australia Was Yer

Sydney, N. s. W., Aug. 26.-Lady

governor general of Australia, played
an important part in the welcome to
The officers of the Yankee feet, has
had singularly romantic career In
the various ''peerages" and standard
works of reference the name of her
family will be looked for in vain. She
Is everywhere described merely as
Alice, adopted daughter of the Can
adam Lord Mount-Stephen," and no
other information is vouchsafed
concerning her parentage.
This is due to the fact that her
childhood, spent in Canada, was very
far from happy. She was the Gin
derella in a clergyman's family, the
divine in question and his wife hail
ing from Vermont, where their daugh
ter Alice was born
In some way the late Lady Mount
lStephen became acquainted with the
girl, took fancy to her, and finding
out that her life was not precisely
rose colored she induced her to spend
more or less time with Lord Mount
lStephen and herself.
Alice's parents raised objections TO
this, declaring that it resulted in her
lhousework being left undone, where.
upon Lady MountStephen started by
providing servant TO take the girls
place in the clergyman's family and
ultimately made an arrangement
with him to adopt the girl altogether
on the understanding that his wife
and the remainder of the family re-
nounced all further connection and re.
lationship with her.
1t is believed that the terms made
were of a financial character. AT
any rate it resulted in the severance
of all Alice's ties with her family and
her regular adoption by Lord and the
late Lady Mount-Stephen who settled
"a large fortune upon her when she
married Lord Northcote. She is a
very good looking, immensely gener
Ious and universally popular woman.

FRED L. HAMILTON DEAD
End Came Yesterday at His Desk at
Addison County Fair

Middlebury, Aug. 2S.-Fred l.. Ham
ilton of Salisbury, clerk of the house
Of representatives, secretary OF the
Addison County Fair association and
one of the best known men in Yer.
mont, died suddenly of heart disease
at his desk on the fair grounds here
yesterday.
Mr.. Hamilton had been in poor
health for some time and only a few
days ago left his bed, after severe
attack OF illness, TO attend to his du-
ties in connection with the fair. He
was one of the moving spirits in the
society and great part of the detail
work in connection with the annual
exhibitions had fallen upon his
shoulders for years. In the early
morning he left his home in Sails
bury as usual and presented himself
at his Office on the fair grounds.
Shortly after 8 o'clock he suddenly
became Ill and was carried by friends
to the open air where he appeared to
revive sufficiently to go back to his
desk. Those persons in the room had
turned about other business for the
moment when Mr.. Hamilton was
heard to groan, his head fell forward
on his table and the end had come.
John Il. Weeks, president of the fair
association, and long a friend and CO.
worker of Mr.. Hamilton, had assisted
him in the attack of illness and had
just gone outside the Office when he
I'D 80 10 faf Inf
ed away and for a moment II was
feared that the shock might be fatal
TO him also.
There were probably $1,000 people
on the fair grounds at the time and
the news of the death of Mr.. Hamil.
ton, who was immensely popular in
the county, cast gloom upon the
great assemblage of holiday makers
that no amount of amusement attrac'
tions could dispel.
Fred l.. Hamilton was born in Sal
isbury December |, 1866, was educa.
ted at Beeman Academy and POUCH
keepsie Business College and by oc-
cupation was a farmer and man OF
business affairs. He was agent for
the well known estate of Columbus
Smith at Salisbury. In politics a
Republican he had held various posi-
lions of trust in the party organiza
ton and served in town Offices OF
various kinds. He became second
assistant clerk of The house of repre-.
sentatives in 1896, first assistant
clerk in 1898, and served as such at
each session thereafter until 1906
when he was made clerk. He had a
long experience with legislatures and
wide acquaintance with men and
was most efficient in his office as
clerk. He is survived by a widow one
small daughter and a sister
