said he was opposed to drawing
party lines in municipal elections.
The business interests Of the city
would be best subseryed, he thought,
if the business men would get to-
gether and nominate good, pro-
gressiye men for the various offices.
Montpelier could be made one of
the best little cities in the state,
said Mr.. Cough; if the business
men would only exert more en-
thusiasm and work with a greater
degree of unity. He favored a pro-
gresslve and public spirited admin
istration-one willing to give ga
square deal" to all interests.
Ed Rich said he favored nomin-
atlng straight democratic ticket if
sswe had any assurance that the re-
publicans would put up a straight
ticket" He thought that ifa non
partisan ticket was nominated
against democratic ticket, it might
draw enough democratic votes TO
defeat most, if not all Of the latter
ticket.
Mike Malone said he didn't care
what kind of ticket the republl-
cans put up, he was in favor of
straight party ticket.
AT this point DR.. Guyon moved
that the convention proceed to nom-
mate straight democratic city tie
ket. After little further discus
sion his motion was adopted with
out dissenting vote.
Whether a platform should be
adopted before the ticket was nom:-
mated, or vice versa, caused con-
siderable discussion, but it was fin
ally decided to draft and adopt a
platform fret. Upon motion the
chair was directed to appoint q com

Beckstrom, with few republican
spectators, met in "mass" conven-
ton at the city fire station last Sat-
urday night for the purpose of de-
termlning whether democratic or
non partisan city ticket should be
placed in nomination.
The meeting was called to order
by John O'Connor, who stated the
object of the gathering, Mr.. O'Con-
nor was made chairman of the meet
ing and Chas. E. Harris, secretary.
The chair then asked for free ex-
preston of the democrats present as
to the feasibility of placing a party
ticket in the field.
Harris started the discussion by
stating that he was in favor of a
democratic ticket, not that he cared
10 keep party questions before the
people, but because he believed bet
ter results would lie obtained from
a partisan than from a non partisan
administration.
DIR. Beckstrom asked If he could
say few words. The chair replied
that he could if he was democrat,
ant as the Doctor continued to talk,
it was taken for granted that he
had, for the time being at least,
accepted the democratic faith. We
failed to catch the drift of the Doc
tors remarks, but any way they were
short and probably had but little
bearing upon the question before
the meeting.
