An Attempt to Link Slack's Name with
That of Mead

The ST. Johnsbury Republican last
week. formally presented a candidate
from its own town for the lieutenant
governorship, in the person of Leighton
P. Slack. The good words said by the
Republican gifts fellow townsman are
warranted. Mr.. Slack is a progressive
citizen, experienced III legislative matters
and would make an excellent presiding
officer. But does Mr.. Slack intend to tie
up with DIR. Mead? The Republican
yokes them together in an editorial
paragraph. but possibly this does an in
justice to the St. Johnsbury mans can

Modern WOOdmen Meet.
County Convention and School of Instruc-
ton here last Thursday

A county convention of the Modern
Woodmen of America and school of in
struction was held in the Woodmen's hall
on Portland Street last Thursday. Each
camp in Caledonia county was represent
ed by its presiding officer or some elected
delegate to receive instruction in the new
rituals recently supplemented for the one
which has been used. With State Deputy
A. O. Palmer of Burlington as instructor
in the new work il w as exemplifed during
the afternoon session and it was the ex-
preston of nearly every delegate that it
was much better enjoyed than the one
recently laid aside.
The morning session was occupied with
an explanation of the new work by
State Deputy Palmer after which bespoke
for short time upon the success of the
work in this part of the jurisdiction.
This is the first school of instruction to
be held in the New England States by
the organization and was originated by
District Deputy L. A. Kelly who presided
over the meeting during the morning
session. The school of instruction is one
of two held in the second district in Yer
mont, the other one having occurred at
Orleans Wednesday where there was a
large attendance.
The success with which this one was
held assured the district deputy the
need of others at later date and it
is very probable another will be held
about the first of the coming year.
The following camps were represented:
Hardwick, ST. Johnsbury, Lyndonville,
Groton, Craftsbury, Greensboro Bend,
Sheffield, East Corinth. Danville, Ryegate,
South Rvegate, East Burke, East Hard
