they went to Lake Willoughby and pas
sed through West Burke to Lyndonville,
where they visited the farm of T. N.
Vail. Mr.. Vail entertained them for
an hour with music and by showing
them about the estate. He also ex-
pressed his ideas regarding good roads
and said he was opposed to bonding the
State for the construction of trunk
highways.
In the late afternoon the tourists re-
turned to this village for supper at the
Avenue House. After the meal the
company was called to order by w. j.
Bigelow and short addresses were made
by Lieut.. Gov. elect L. P. Slack, State
Highway Commissioner G. w. Gates
and State Fish and Game Commissioner
J. w. Titcomb. An informal discussion
followed. From the trend of the re-
marks it is evident that the members
of the coming Legislature from Gale
donia county will not favor bonding the
State for trunk line highways.
The days pleasure was somewhat
marred by an automobile accident on
the return trip just as the party was
entering this village. The steering
gear on car ownedby Gilman brothers
broke and the machine ran against a
post by the roadside, smashing the
front end badly. 1t came to a standstill
about foot from high embankment.
We hardly think that there will be
much further effort made by the auto.
mobile clubs to extend these investi-
cations into other counties. For it is
very evident from the expression OF
the members in Caledonia County as
above, and the outspoken comments
which we have heard from numerous
other members, and influential citizens
of the State, that this bonding propo
sition does not meet with approval.
1t is indeed becoming evident that the
people of Vermont will take the mat
ter of building their roads into theil
own hands. Nor do we believe they viii
continue the present system of having
one man from the State, together witt
one from each county, decide where Of
how the money or labor should be used
1t is far better to let the people man
age this matter themselves, each towr
selecting those whom they think bes'
fitted to expend this money. This is thu
old New England custom. There is fa
more reason to suppose that the men 81
chosen, being entirely familiar with, anC
having more direct interest in the roads
would know best where the none,
should be expended.
1t might be a good plan to have {
State Road Commissioner to examine
the highways of the State, and report t.
each Legislature, and also hold educa
tional meetings in the different coun
ties. In this way the State and the
towns would work together, and SHOULD
secure the best possible results.

Roosevelt Successful in New York
Contest by 125 Majority.
Ia part of the Associated Press Report.

la part of the Associated Press Report
Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 81. Theodore
Roosevelt rode today on the top wave
of victory, defeating Vice President
Sherman for temporary chairman of
the Republican State convention and
bowling over the old guard in the first
engagement of series of conflicts that
are to come.
After he had named the members of
the three important committees and
the convention had adjourned to meet
tomorrow, he said to the newspaper
mem
Il said FRAGILE, you may recall. You
may quote me on that.
There were 1011 votes cast in the
convention today, of which Roosevelt
received 568, Sherman, 443, majority
Of 125 for the former president. Col.
Roosevelt did not vote, Mr. Sherman
voted for John Doe, and two of the New
York county delegates did not respond
when their names were called.
Col. Roosevelt spoke feelingly of
what President Taft had accomplished
in his administration in his speech as
temporary chairman, saying that the
laws passed reflect high credit upon all
who helped enact them; that they are
IN earnest Tor tne achievement Wnlcn is
yet to come, and that the beneficence
and far-reaching Importance of this
work measure the credit which is right
ly due to the Congress and to our able,
upright and distinguished president,
William Howard Taft.
The spectators and many of the del
egates warmly applauded Mr.. Roose-
velt's declaration for a direct primary
plank.
BOSSES AND LEADERS.
Col. Roosevelt also bitterly assaileC
the bosses, declaring that 1.-THE differ
ence between boss and a leader is
that the leader leads and the hos:
drives. The difference is that the lead
er holds his place by firing the con
science and appealing to the reason Of
his followers, and that the boss holds
his place by crooked and underhand
manipulation.
Thunders of applause greeted the
colonel as he was escorted to the speak
er's stand by Vice President Sherman
and Cornelius V. Collins and it wa!
some time before he could proceed will
his speech.

CLEVELAND, Sept. l9.-At Nash
vile, Tenn. on Oct. Is. 1898, John
Kelly drove the black stallion Direc-
tum 10 the worlds record for l.
year-old trotter OF 2:05 Ia. The next
day the papers Of the country spread
the news broadcast and stated that
the great stallion had set the record
so low that IL would be many years
before II would be eQualed. Since
then many records have been broken
and rebroken, but the 2:e5 IA estao-
lished by Directum has never been
touched by a 4-year-old trotter.
Since the memorable performance
stations that have appeared the most
prominent as 4-year-olds are The
Harvester and Billy Burke. II was
thought that without doubt Ed Geers
would drive a new spike In the rec
ord column and hang the name OF
The Harvester over that Of Directnm,
but time slipped by and the great
son OF Walnut Hall and Notolet was
a 5-year-old before he trotted faster
than the record set by Directum IN
regular contest. During workout
miles Mr.. Geers had driven The Har.
vester seconds faster than 2:O5 Ia,
but for some reason or other the Ulh'
lein colt did not succeed in the task
he was capable OF doing.
Again this year Mr.. Geers seemed
rather reluctant about letting The
Harvester extend himself sufficiently
TO separate Cresceus from the stallion
crown which he wore for several
years. II Is true that The Harvester
trotted fast miles at Detroit and
North Randall, but had 1t been Mr..
Geers' desire The Harvester could
have lowered Cresceus' record OF
2:021-4 at Cleveland with less exer-
ton that was exercised at Fort Erie
when he trotted in 2:02.
