1t might be turned to advantage by
the woman's suffragists that several
score Of women attended the city meet
ing in Montpelier last night, when a
vote was taken on the project to bond
the city for new school building, for
the occasion was one of the few when
the members of that sex take enough
interest in such matters to attend public
meetings Their attendance last night
was an indication Of the wrought.up
feelings Of Montpelier over this school
bond question, since it had twice preyi-
ously BEEN voted down. 1t was inevita-
bic that the division Of the voters should
have attracted many women to the one
side or the other.

FAvoRs EARLY ADJOURNMENT
President Urges Members to Adjourn
Congress as Quickly as Possible.

Washington.-President Taft has
asked the leaders of the senate and
house of representatives to have con-
grees adjourn by July l, if there is
any possible way of doing this. Presi-
dent Taft wants congress to adjourn
as quickly as possible now. So en-
phatic was the presidents plea for an
early adjournment that the leaders
have begun a vigorous campaign.
Representative John Dwight of New
York, Republican whip, has charge
OF the early adjournment committee
in the house Vice-President Sherman
has been campaigning for celebrity in
the senate.
A sweeping investigation of Alas
kan affairs will be strongly urged be-
fore the session ends and this, it is
feared, will embody one of the mat
tiers which will stretch the session be-
yond the point where President Taft
wants it to adjourn.
