VERMONT TYPICAL
AMERICAN STATE
Said President Roosevelt In Addressing
18th. Vermont Infantry in the
White House.

Washington, Oct 2O-T know Yer
mont well. / do not want TO exalt one
State above its fellows but II ] were
Fasked TO pick out the typical American
States Where we see the old American
spirit illustrated at It's best we would
surely have to include Vermont.
Thus declared President Roosevelt in
addressing yesterday one hundred mem
btrs of the Thirteenth Vermont in
fantry, who with their wives have been
visiting the Gettysburg battlefield and
are now on their way home. The Presi-
dent received them in the east room
Of the White House. In bis address
he said in parts
1T is very real pleasure 10 greet
you. No member Of Stannard's brig
ade needs more than the mention Of
that fact as passport for entry TO
the White House. ] was at Gettysburg

your historic brigade stood az the time
OF the great charge OF Piekett's Vir-
ginians.
81 have always maintained that the
best citizens in peace was the man
who made a good soldier in war for
the same qualities that made him q
soldier when the country called for
soldiership, make him good citizen
in the days Of peace.
"All that I, as President, have been
striving 10 DO is to apply practically
the principles upon which you men
here have acted ! wish to see this
government able 20 hold its head aloft
in the presentce of the outside world;
wish TO see it able to withstand any
movement Of aggression made against
it, and in return scrupulously careful
10 treat all other nations with the JUS
tice and good feeling which we demand
that one individual shall show another.
hold that the international obliga-
tions Of nationas should be approached
in precisely the same spirit in whien
we approach the ordinary duties Of in.
divduals as among themselves. A
man has not business to suffer imposi-
ton; he is not man il he submits 10
insult and wrong; and neither is he
a man ii he inflicts wrong upon or in
suits anyone else | hope to see the
conduct OF the United States toward
other powers always modelled on that
principle.
1--WE must do our duty abroad but
even more important is it to do our
duty at home; and we can do our duty
at home only If we show ourselves
true to the principles which this gov
ernment was founded TO uphold. You
men of the big war, when you went to
battle each one of you took great
interest in the charcter of the man
alongside him, your ranks. It was no
concern of yours whether he was far
mer, wage worker or banker; tnat
did not make any difference. What
you wanted TO know was whether he
would stay put, whether he was a.
man and would show himself such in
camp or hattie; and son would
have despised equally the man VINO
looked down ON another because he
less means or had to work
with his hands, and the man who hat
ed another because he possessed more
or did not nave to work with
his hands.
chat is the true American principle
and It must be applied in civil life
just as you applied it in military life.

e1Nat1 AAVA1N3 CNts -Ns

Redfeld Proctor, which was temporarily
filed by the appointment OF John w.
Stewart of Middlebury by Governor
Fletcher d. Proctor.

Leary of Burlington presented Vernon
A. Bullard Of Burlington, Democrat, in
opposition. In the Senate, Page was
nominated by Lewis Of Lamoille county,
while Kennedy Of Chittenden county
named Rullard
Speaker Cheney, in nominating Page,
stated that snice Fletcher D. Proctor had
announced that he would not be eandi-
date for the senatorship, the choice of
large majority of the people was un-
doubtedly for Page. He then went on to
relate the remarkable business success
of the Hyde Park man, and his public
service in Vermont, closing with these
words.
Having made good in all Of these po-
sitions Of trust, and being to-day still
in perfect health, as aggressive as ever,
powerful and diplomatic | feel that If
elected to the Senate he win give good
account Of his stewardship and will come
to be recognized as one of the strong
men of that body"

choice Of a successor to Senator Dilling
ham was taken up. In the House Sena-
tor Dillingham; was nominated to succeed
himself by Boyee of Waterbury, and

sented Elisha May Of his town. Hunt
ley of Washington county mad the pleas
ure Of nominating Dillingham; in the
Senate, and Wright of Grand Isle, the
only other Democrat in that body besides
Kennedy, named Elisha May.
The most extended remarks in nominat-
ing Dillingham; were made by his fellow
townsman, Boyce, Of Waterbury. He
said in part:
In politics he is an ardent Republi-
can, always working for the best inter-
ests Of the party, and as he earnestly
believes, the best interests of the entire
country. In private life he has been
model son, husband and father, and one
whom it is indeed privilege to call a
friend.
$50 great has always been the conf
dence in his ability and integrity in the
community where he has lived, that
measure was as good as carried, if it
was known that it was indorsed by
him
"Such confidence could only be secured
by the loftiest kind of character, and
emphasize the fact that this mans whole
life, both public and private, has been
az pure and clean as the thousands Of
springs that gush from yonder noun
tainside, and whose sparkling drops re-
feet Gods sunshine no more truly than
do this mans acts, the thoughts with

to the County Jail To-day,

county court he having been bound over
in Justice J. X. Fullertons court in
Waterbury this morning, after being
arraigDed on the charge Of assault with
intent to rob and being armed with a
dangerous weapon.
On Strongs person was a diary which
for the date of October IA had the
following entry: 81 want to die and
don't care what becomes of me-" 1t
is generally thought that he is out of
his head. Some people in Waterbury
believe that Strong fred the Randall
barns in Waterbury Sunday night and
that he was also concerned in the rob-
berry Of the store of Charles Keene that
same night during the excitement Of
the fire. The robbery was discovered
yesterday, but as Mr.. Keene is away
il was impossible to determine the
amount stolen.
Waterbury, Oct. 2o--G. B. Evans, ,
well-known business man and promi-
nent Democrat, was attacked in his
home last night by Fred Strong, man
Of so years, who has twice been COM
mitted to the State hospital as vic
time of the morphine habit and twice
discharged from there as cured.
Strong, who has been about town
selling essences, walked into Mr.. Evans
house last night at 1880 and asked fol
change for $20-bill. Catching Evans
of his guard, Strong struck him with
sling shot made of woman's stock
ing with a stone in it the size Of a
goose egg. Mr. Evans although SIS
years old grappled vigorously with his
assailant and called for help. Passers-
by came to the rescue and Strong was
finally knocked out.
Mr., Evans had two lacerated wounds
on his head and Strong was we'll bat
tered up before subdued. He was

probably be taken to county jail to
await the action of the grand jury.
II apears that Strong is well ed
ucated man and that he taught hgh
school in the West for 13 years. His
wife has relatives in Waitsfeld and he
was first committed to the State hos
pital from Berlin in October, 1908, as
q morphine fiend, and discharged from
there as cured in February, 1904. He
was again committed to the asylum
for the same cause September 20, 1906,
and again discharged as cured January
Z, 1907. His expenses at the asylum
were paid by his friends. 1t is under
stood that he has tried to commit sui

vas and Monday in conversation with
DR.. d. D. Grout, superintendent of the
State hospital appeared to be well.
Mr.. Evans was delegate to the ma
tional democratic convention at Dem

latter win not prove serious, it is be-
lieved.
