Williams Makes Statement.
Judge Frank C. Williams of New
port, chairman of the state republican |
committee, states unequivocally that |
the political dispatch sent out to Mont
pelier a few days ago to the effect !
that the committee was bending every |
effort in the governorship contest now
on toward a certain candidacy for the
United States senate, was absolutely
false. This is not at all unexpected.
The state committee is now, and
ever has been, devoted entirely to the
success of the republican ticket after
it is nominated, and does not attempt
to dictate the nominations made. 1t
leaves the nominations to the republic
cans and it simply officiates as
a campaign committee for the election
of the nominees. Rutland News.
It's Different You Know.
Orleans county is being flooded with
Fleetwood literature, including that
wonderful article of the 700 letters
with its results, and other clippings
from the Montpelier Journal, North
field News and other papers opposed
to DR.. Mead Nothing shows from
whence these articles came or who is
behind them. The peculiar part of
it is that Fleetwood has positively
stated that he is putting no money into
his canvass, and that for spreading
literature after much the same fashion
Lieut.. Gov. Mead has been severely
criticised by the Fleetwood papers.
| Evidently that which is wrong for
Mead to do, is all right for Fleetwood,
which is why we refer to the subject
and ask the question, why is it?"-

| Tribute to Mrs. Gilman and WiIloughby.
Hundreds of people scattered all over
the country have learned with sincere
regret of the death of Mrs. Ellen Gill
man, who for % years conducted with
her husband, H. H. Gilman, the popu-
| lar Willoughby Lake tavern in the
town of WestmOre. This hotel, situat-
ed on the most beautiful body of water
in Vermont, was a restful resort,
where the guests were provided with
all the comforts of a country home,
and they always went from it, after
stays of greater or less duration, feel
ing that value received, and more, too,
could be written opposite the modest
outlay recorded in the personal cash
account. Mrs. Gilman, by her skill in
the culinary department and her super
vision of every detail connected with
the management of the hotel, coupled
with her attention to her guests, made
this hostelry unique among all country
hotels the writer has ever visited. -

A Wise Gift,
The philanthropy of T. N. Vail, Of
Lyndonville, was never more wisely
directed than when he endowed a two
year course in practical agriculture al
the Lyndon Institute and made il
easily available for the average ambi
tious Vermont boy that wanted tt
learn to be scientific farmer.
The improvement of agricultural
conditions, the development of special
lied and intensive farming along the
most modern lines of scientific prog
ress, is one of the greatest of tn,
tasks falling to the present generation
of Vermonters. The old haphazart
days when natures always generous
bounty was enough and to spare for
sparse population inhabiting a grea
continent have gone by forever. TIL
, question Of producing sufficient foo
, supply and at a price people ca
afford to pay is one of the most vita
issues confronting us today. State
like Vermont, that are so rich i
: opportunities for agricultural develop
ment and profit, must take up tn
. work in earnest, not only on thei
: own account as matter of immediat
L self-interest, but because they hav
got to help feed the nation.-St. A
