bard's Point, a beautiful strip OF land
on the east side of North Hero Island

Canada After the revolution it was
granted to Ethan Allen and Samuel
Herrick by Governor Chittenden of
this State and it was the stopping
place and camping grounds of the
Mohawk. Iroquois and other Indian

CANDIDATES LINING UP
THREE OF BARRE'S "FAY0RITE
SONS, WOULD LIKE TO CAP
TURE SENATORIAL SEAT

As County POlitlal Pot Begins TO Boil
the Granite City Presents a List OF
Candidates for Various Offices, all
OF Whom Are "PrOminentIy Men,
toned" BY Themselves and Others.
The county political pot is beginning
to boil brisllly and the candidates are
looking after their fences. The date
for the county convention has not
been set yet, but Chairman J. A.
Winch, of Mortified. will call a meet
ing of the county committee in a
short time to decide on the date and
place. G.. o. Stratton is the local
member of the committee and he stat
ed yesterday that he had received no
notice of a meeting as yet.
The first on the lost are the Sena-
tors. BY unwritten law, Barre and
Montpelier alternate on the third
Senator, the Granite City being entitled
to one of the seats this year The
present enumbents are f. NJ. Cory
of this city, e. w. Huhtley of DuX-
bury and Warren e. Bliss of Calais.
Barre has three candidates for her
seat namely, John Dillon, Richard
A. Hoar and John W. Gordon. Hor-
ace w. Lyford, of Warren has been
named for the west side and Harry
Daniels of East Montpelier for the
east side. The three Barre men are
strong in their city and will have to
fight it out for choice. Messrs. Lyford
and Daniels represented their respec-
tive towns in the House at the last
session and will probably go to the
upper branch this fall.
Side Judge l.. R. Wells has not
yet announced his intention as to his
seat Side Judge Clapp has had but
one term and will probably run again.
If Judge Wells does not hold his place
Judge Clapp would move to the right
side of the bench and George H. Dale
of Waterbury will be candidate for
his place.
States Attorney Benjamin Gates
has been urged by his friends to run
again, for a third term, but is not
yet ready to make an announcement.
Barre is on the warpath for this place
also, having four "favorite sons who
are seeking the nomination. j. Ward
Carver, the city attorney, NJ. NJ.
Gordon, William f. Wishart and Earle
Davis are mentioned as aspirants for
the office.
Sheriff Frank II. Tracy has had
three terms and will undoubtedly run
again. There will probably be no op-
position to him. Probate Judge f. j..
Martin is unapposed and will succeed
himself without doubt.
Harry C. Whitehill, editor of the
Waterbury Record, bailiff at present,
can have it all his own way, If he
wants the job, as this office has
never been a bone of very strenuous
contention.

suffering eyes to the sympathetic
face and means:
But, Mama Dey, you tell me all
the time that it will be all right bye

That's the trouble. That little
gnarled and twisted backbone
should be all right sometime. But
it never don't. .
Perhaps, just perhaps, II Della

the pain might go away.
But there is no one to see that
she gets this attention. The Home

And has this poor little sufferer
no relatives, no friends who might
look after her?
Relatives, yes. Friends, no.
Every Sunday while Della writhes
and sobs in pain her uncle arises
before his congregation. and

to help the weak and lowly, but he
himself fails to helpThis poor, suf-

Who is this man? He is J. Smith,

Della lived with her uncle when
her mama and papa first went

but the cousin liked to go out in
the evenings and couldn't think of
staying at home just because of

So Della was turned over to kind
charity, and she went to the Or

PERSONALTR|UMPH
FORV|OLA ALLEN

A large audience which assem-
bled to witness the performance OF
the white Sister" in the Auditor
fun theater last night saw a pro-
duction well worthy of their sup
port and came away with a clear
cut and lasting impression of Viola
Aliens abilities as an actress. AS
Sister Giovanni her appearance
was in the nature of personal
triumph, and those who were there
to witness it will long remember
the pathetic figure of the little Sis
ter who, in spite of her great love,
remained true to the church. Some
how, no matter what your demon
nation. you feel that it was the
only right thing for her to do.
Miss Allen has surrounded her
self with a very capable company.
The work of Henry Stanford as
Captain Severi. the lover, was COM
mendable. and his railing against
the tyrrany of the church in the
second act was not oyerdone.
James O'Neill as Monsignori Sara
cinesca was dignified and atural,
and Minnie Dale's portrayal of the
Countess Chiaramonte was exceed
tngly good.

AS the day of the election of the
fifteen official charter commission
ers approaches, The Press believes
that it is to the best interests of all
the citizens to take very active inter
est in the men to be chosen to write
the charter.
Only men known to be in sym
pathy with the right kind of COM
mission form of government should
be selected to serve on the charter
commission. The commission plan
that Spokane inaugurates should be
the most progressive in the country
The rights of the people should be
protected. as well as giving a form
of government under which public
business can be expeditiously and
economically cared for. Every pro-
vision for an easy reference to the
people of all public mea assures should
be provided. also an opportunity for
the people to easily initiate needed
legislation when the officials at the
head of the government decline to
give the same. There should be an
effective, workable recall that can
be invoked against dishonest or in
competent officials, and a system of
preferential voting to defeat ma
chine control of elections.
The five candidates representing
organized labor on the first or orig
inal revisionists' ticket have pledged
themselves to stand for these things
and progressive charter along all
lines. They say that enough assur-
ances have been received from some
of the other candidates on that ticket
to insure that the original 3 will
give US the right kind of a charter
If they are elected.
There are other good men in the
race; not on the first ticket, but it
seems that it would be dangerous
at this moment for the working peo-
pie and ordinary citizens to divide
their strength and thus get men on
the charter committee whose views
along the lines of progressive gov
eminent are not what is desired
While there may be some men on
the ticket of Is that are not likely
personally. the best plan is to vote
1t straight and take no chances of
disa because of a division Of
strength.

MUST DEFEND ON
WATER WAGON

Judge Carey, in the superior
court, has ruled that the court can
not compel Arthur D. Jones to let
the city Of Spokane supply water to
the people of the Cannondale sec
ton through his mains. This means
that the people Of that district must
depend on the water wagon until
water mains can be laid in that dis
trict.
At meeting of the CannondaIe
Improvement club, held last night,
the judges of the court were de-
nounced for sending the case to an
outside judge. e8
A resolution was adopted calling
upon all people of that section of
the city to vote against Gordon G..

Jones, who refused to give the peo-

Comptroller Justice Morrow, to
whom the mayor referred the prep

which is to be submitted in the city
councils Monday night, consulted a
number of legal lights this after
noon. They opposed the proposed
law. but most of the lawyers
thought a prison penalty might be
attached for violations instead of a

that any woman wearing in public

long be subject to arrest and fine.
