The Vermont delegation to the Se-
publican national convention will go m

mont, at the New Willard, last night 1T
has been the custom for years to send an
uninstFucted delegation to the convention.
and we are going 10 observe It this tine,
too.
From what can gather however. .he
sentiment seems equally divided between
Taft and Hughes.
There is a strong sentiment against
Roosevelt being renominated for a third
term, and there are many reasons why he
should not be mentioned in that connec-
tion His methods. in the opinion Of many
people. are not what they should be. and
the idea Of a third term IS not at ali
popular, and has always been looked upon
with great distrust by the American peo-
pie"

Richard Kearton. the ornitholae5st of
England, who has been giving lectures in
this city on bird life. discussed questions
relating TO British politics and diplomacy
with freedom and frankness at the Shore
ham, last night.
Speaking about the Irish home rule
question. Mr. Kearton said:
Every Englishman is tired Of the Ir.sb
question, and they are ready to give the
irish anything just to keep them quiet.
don't know whether home rule is good
Tor them or not II strikes me- It IS not.
II home rule is introduced. the south Of
ireland with simply squeeze the north,
which section Of the country is prosper
Gus and satisfied with the present form Of
government. The people of the south Of
ireland are lazy. and those OF the north
are thrifty. and being in the minority they
would have 20 suffer az the hands Of the
Catholic majority.
The trouble with Ireland is the Catholic
priests have too much 10 say. The peo-
pie are entirely under domination of the
priests. And Just tell me a Catholic
country which is governed by priests that
Is prosperous. After an Irlshman has
been away from Ireland for ten years
say in the United States. and has learned
10 think for himself, and has shaken OF
the yoke Of the priest the Irish priests do
not want him 10 come back 70 Ireland He
will not be as tractable as he was before
ne left his native land 10 carve out his
fortune in America. The religious feel
ing between the north and south OF Ire
land is just as tense to-day as II ever
was Suppose Ireland were TO get home
rule, what would be the next demand
that would be made on England An en-
tirely independent Ireland
What is Germany building such a big
navy for? Is Il for the purpose Of whip
ping England OF 10 dispute the Monroe
Doctrine? There is general impression
among the people in England that En-
peror William is planning an invasion Of
England sooner or later. Every right
thinking Engllshman is. therefore. in
favor Of laying down two men-Of-war 70
every one that is laid down for the
kaiser's navy. That is the only way Eng
land can protect herself against the ag-
gression OF the German Emperor. Where
would America stand In case Of war
between Germany and England? See
what the United States would lose II
Germany were 10 vanquish us The big
trade and commerce between England
and America would fall into the hands
Of the Germans.
There are whole quarters IN London
where not a word OF English IS heard OF
spoken. The Jews say they own ths
city Of London. They go into the tower
and tell the guards there that the Eng
lish have the King, but that they, the
Jews, own the city Of London"
Gov. Hoch. OF Kansas, Is stiu think
ing Of entering the race for United States
Senator against Long and Bristow." said
Charles Il Barclay, a well-knoHn busi-
ness man OF Topeka, at the Arlington.
last night
This will probably surprise some OF the
politicians" continued AIr. Barclay, for
they have been figuring the governor had
abandoned all such ambitions. When he
signed up for forty-four lectures on the
chautauqua platform for this summer at
$50 each, the guess went out that EIoch
had put aside Senatorial thoughts.
But he declared emphatically only a
few days ago that ne had not discarded
them. he said he had been thinking
about it a great deal He says he is
Western man, with Western ideas. and
that when he stops to think about the
Kansas representation in Congress his
lander rises. He said he could not be
ike the narrow contracted Fasteners,
who see the sun rise and set in little old
New York. Gov. Hoch declares he can
not stand for the ideas Of the narrow
minded, sh0rtsghted, self seeking. effete
East
ITO use his own words. Gov. Hoch said
he other day; Z am not satisfied with
)ur representation. Here is the question
If liquor up before Congress. Kansas
should lead in that discussion, but Kan
'as has not a voice lifted Here is this
State with the best beet sugar industry
ls one Of its most vital industrial factors,
Ind yet not a Kansas voice IS lifted.
5everidge and other leading Senators are
ighting for a bank deposit guaranty. and
'et not a Kansas voice is raised. II pro-
'okes me when I stop 70 think of these
hings They get into my system and
simply have 20 come out I have thought
Dver this matter a great deal.
