strong bid for position on the
team. Larry of st. Adams, a man of
much experience, Will also try for a
back.
Although tho team will be hatdi-
capped under The new rules they are
confident that with Coach Pike to dir
ect affairs they will put out the best
team that has been turned out on the
Hill in many seasons.
Manager Williams has nearly COM
pleted his schedule, which includes
only the strongest teams in the State
Among teams to be played are the
strong Vermont second team, Yer

has been peculiarly session devoted
to great legislative enterprises and
the full, frank and hearty redemption
of the platform pledges of the Repub-
lican party.
During the 61st Congress the rules
of the House have been so far modi-
fled and lberaized that the Speaker
has no longer arbitrary control of it's
conduct and there is now possible
practical freedom of action by its
members. The railroad bill was made
in the committee of the whole and the
postal deposits bill was framed in a
caucus of Republican Representatives
Whatever may have been the case in
the past it is now true that there is
legislation by the legislators.
Throughout this second session of
Congress, especially, there has come
from the President quiet, insistent,
but persistent force, gently but firm
ly, which at last brought the ultra
radical, the ultra-conservative and the
conservative progressive membership,
which constitutes the great body of
Congress, into harmony and unity of
action productive of the large results
which mark and really believe adorn
the labor of this session.

not where others hesitated he was
reSolute. He is patriot without
question, standing always for the
great policies outlined by the brave
and talented Roosevelt with a heart
that has no false beat with no

His first year of service has been
somewhat clouded and there have
been those who have questioned but

of every true American and the I'M
