lory, yet the county is apparently safe for ONeal. It is stated by his followers that Bankhead will poll more votes for senator than both of the other aspirants; in fact. the statement of MT. White in the convention in Montgomery that it was "war to the knife and the knife to the hilt," has, it is believed, seriously damaged him. even in the amendist ranks, many thoughtful men saying that the expression was entirely out of place A few of the amendists are trying to promote the candidacy of MT. Knox, in the hope that he and Senator Bankhead will so much divide the anti vote as to assure the success of MT. White.
 The voters of the county are enthusi- astic in their support of Reuben F. kolb for commissioner of agriculture. For secretary of state. Cyrus Brown is in the lead, and Frank Julian will carry the county for railroad commissioner. AS to the other candidates for state of fcers. it is not easy to forecast the result.
 In county matters the race for probate judge between the present occupant of that office, F. J. Dean. and the present sheriff, J. F. Irwin, will he very close. W. c. Crumpton appears to have the best of R. H. Riggs in the race for state senator. For representative, E. c. Page Is opposed by J. M. Foshee. the latter will be remembered as the only member of the last constitutional convention who refused to sign that document. Notwith- standing this. it will be remembered that that instrument is the fundamental law of the state. As to the choice of the people for the other county offices. it is difficult to determine at this date. s l. Tisdale, the present circuit clerk, Is being opposed by G. w. Salter, Jr., editor of the Courant. There are four in the race for sheriff. but as to this office it is not easy to forecast results.

WILL SUPPORT CENTRAL VERMONT
Brattleboro Citizens Adopt Resolution to
That Effect.

Brattleboro, Nov. r. At meeting OF
the citizens of Brattleboro held yester.
day in Festival hall, a resolution was
passed pledging the support Of the
tCwnspeople toward securing the char.
ter which the Central Vermont railroad
seeks and which will enable that road
to parallel the Boston & Maine between
Brattlcboro and Windsor. The resolu-
ton included the condition that such a
charter must safeguard the rights of
the Boston s Maine railroad in this
town.
The resolution was practically identi-
ca with one adopted at q citizens meet
ing Monday, when Boston & Maine Of
ticials announced authoritatively that
their road would build a track between
South Vernon and Brattleboro to par
allel the Central Vermont rather than
the Boston & Maine.
At the meeting held yesterday Vice
President L. II. Fitzhugh of the Central
Vermont. General Manager George G.
Jones and c. w. Writers and Judge
H. II. Powers were present. Mr.. Fitz-
hugh and the two attorneys explained
the necessity of securing such char
ter as they ask II the Boston 4 Maine
is granted a charter to build between
South Vernon and Brattleboro.
The officials explained that under the
present traffic arrangement with the
Boston & Maine, whereby the Boston s
Maine road pays a rental for the use
Of the tracks Of the Central Vermont
between this place and South Vernon
ami the Central Vermont pays a re-
aiprocil rental between Brattleboro and
Windsor, the Boston & Maine road ought
to be satisfied The Central Vermont
officials say that if the Boston & Maine
build their own road between Brattle-
boro and South Vernon they win also
get around the IA miles from Windsor
to White River Junction which will
mean that the Central Vermont loses
anv revenue from traffic arrangement
The Central Vermont officials acknowl-
edged that the Boston & Maine had the
New England end Of the Grand Trunk
system BY the throat and asked that
Brattleboro people lend their aid to
safeguard the Central Vermont interests
80 far as is consistent and honorable.
