stances. But with this strong under
current of anti-Taft sentiment can
Taft leaders claim all they now hold to
be theirs? We think not. AS to his
known strength he has of 542 delegates
elected 267, and other candidates have
pleged POT, while 68 are uninstructed
and 46 contested. The lead gained by
Taft at the very outset is still held but
the strength of the lead is waning.
Of 126 delegates elected in one week
Taft only got SO while other candidates
got 76 pledged delegates and IA were
uninstructed. Early Taft press reports
claimed 'fthe solid SOUTH" later, the
solid west" then "solid New En-
gland. :" These figures were put out as
a result of "a straw vote made at the
time. If the straw vote then showed
so great Taft strength and the actual
strength later developed waning of
this support one would naturally ex-
pect the sentiment was slowly but
surely changing.

presidential nomination was manifested
at the republican state convention Of
New Hampshire. held in Concord yes

the Taft men who attempted to force
preferential resolutions for their candi-

incident which brought out the burst
of Hughes sentiment was the most not
able feature of quite remarkable con-
vention. Curiously enough, too, the
hidden spring was touched by Taft

who had been put forward as the
spokesman of that wing of the con

A Good Thing and Nothing
To Pay

Just see what DR.. Greene offers to
do for all weak and suffering people.
He is the most successful living
specialist in curing nervous and chronic
diseases. His unparalleled offer to
consult with anyone, free of charge, by
letter correspondence is doing wonder
full good. If you have any complaint
which you do not thoroughly under
stand, and which you would like cured,
write the Doctor letter stating just
how you feel and what symptoms
trouble you. He will answer it, giving
complete description of your case,
explaining the meaning of every
symptom, and telling how you can
surely get well and strong. He gives
most careful attention to each letter,
and explains your case so thoroughly
that you understand exactly what ails
you. All this costs you nothing, you
have no doctors fees to pay, and you
don't have to leave your home. The
Doctor makes speciality of treating
patients through letter correspondence,
and they nearly always get we'll. He
is the discoverer of that wonderful
medicine, DR.. Greene's Ne,.vura blood
and nerve remedy. Write to him at
his Office, "a Temple Place. Boston.
Mass, and you will undoubtedly be
made strong and we'll.

Once more we are compelled to re-
mind our readers that there is new
postal law in vogue. We have received
a letter from Mr.. Lawshe, third assist
ant postmaster general, giving addi-
tional evidence that he is very much
IN earnest in his determination to en-
force the new regulations governing
second-class mail matter and arrearage
subscriptions. With Mr.. Lawshe's let
ter was copy Of the new postal laws,
and discussion to some length of the
railing. Among other things in this
discussion we read: GAS a matter of
law, an expired subscription is no sub
scription at all, and the Postmaster
General is under no obligation what
ever to recognize it as a subscription,
or so regard a list composed solely or
partly of such subscriptions. If the
subscriber does not renew his sub
scription, then he is not subscriber,
and strictly the publisher has no legal
right to include him in the list of sub
scribers for a single day after the term
for which the subscription is paid has
passed."
Thus it is argued that list not paid
in advance is not legitimate list and
not entitled to the special privileges OF
the second class of postage
The Monitor is doing it's utmost te
bring it's list to comply with the ruling
and as fast as subscriptions expire will
mail notices to each subscriber, notify
ing him of the expiration of his sub
scription, with a request to renew. L
renewal is not made however the pa
per must be stopped under the new
law. or the publisher is liable.

Smith stable. He stated at the time
that someone would be after the team
on Monday. No one appeared and Mr..
Foster has not been seen or heard from
since, so far as is known. A telephone
message from his office stated that
they know nothing as to his where
abouts but were anxious to locate him.
No steps have been taken to find him,
pending the investigation of his books.
Mr.. Foster is about IS years of age and
married. He has had good reputa-
ton, so far as can be learned. The
village meeting comes tomorrow and
the auditors are examining the books.
1t is regarded as possible that, if there
prove to be irregularities in his books,
Mr.. Foster might have left Hardwick

Words and Music by Rev. Josiah Poeton.
A copy of a new song, ooh, the Sol
der Boy Is Coming Home to Mother, "
words and music by Rev. Josiah Poeton
of Irasburg, has come to hand and is
said by musicians to be very good
piece of music The words are:
Sad and lone with heavy heart,
Sits the mother of the boy in blue;
Down her cheeks the tear drops start
For love of soldier true,
For his name has been reported with
the missing,
Where the boys fell thick and fast;
But while she weeps, on his knee he
creeps,
In answer to the bugle blast.
Oh, the soldier boy is coming home to
mother,
See his eyes so keen and his step so gay
And he hopes to find beside her yet
another
With golden hair beside the gray:
How they'll run with joy when he
comes safe returning.
And the house will ring with merry
songs of glee;
1 think there'll be a wedding on the
morrow,
When ne comes home to ssmother and
Marie.
Sad they sit in twilight cold
| The mother and the sweetheart true
Mourning thus their soldier bold
Their long missing boy in blue.
But from prison he'd escaped and lived
in hiding;
And now strong and hearty.as of
yOre
With eager hands at the door he stands
Our soldier boy is home once more.

In spite Of the fact that the Taft or
ganization is strongly and thoroughly
developed throughout the United States
and at every state convention does the
talking, the resolution presenting and
the work, with the result that Taft's
name is before every convention and
therefore much talked bout
in the papers, conservative
summing up Of the situation reveals
the fact that Taft's support is not as
strong as it was few weeks ago. If
Hughes, Cannon, Knox, Fairbanks, La
Toilette and others had organizations
0ne-half as strong as that of Taft's
the general public would read more
about them as a result Of their press
bureaus. AS it is, not another candi-
date but Taft mas a press organization
that amounts to anything, unless we
might except the Knox organization.
Hughes forces have no organization or
method of spreading the news of his
support whatever, except by general
press report, and much of the real
enthusiasm for him has probably been
withheld as in the case of the New
Hampshire convention. Taft leaders
claim the New Hampshire delegation,
and many other votes where Taft's res
loutions were turned down by strong
votes and the question is, will he get
them? New Hampshire turned down
his resolutions by vote of 763 to Is.
