GREAT CAMBRIDGE FAIR
Which is to Be Held Sept. 5, 6, 7, 8
and 9, 1910

What the the special attractions al
the fair this year," This Is the
question you hear everywhere these
days, and perusal Of fair literature
explains this for while 1t is stated
that there will be special attractions
as usual, yet those features are not
specified or elaborated upon as has
been done in the past. An inquiry Of
the fair management shows that this
was not an oversight. but was entire
ly intentional. The management has
always exercised great care not to
advertise anything which they were
not sure Of having. When the prem.
um lists and other advertising matter
were printed this year, arrangements
had not been completed for special al.
fractions and II was not just certain
what these attractions would be but
contract has now been made with
the firm who has supplied these feat.
ure acts so many years, and this con.
tract calls for more money than the
Cambridge fair ever paid to these
people In any former year. conse.
quently, there will be special attrac.
tons this year, more OF them, every
one entirely different from anything
seen before at Cambridge and better
than ever before.
One of the headlines in Cambridge
fair advertising this year Is u Know
Us, and this surely fits well, for who
does not know the Great Cambridge
fair? In all this part OF the country
II Is the basis for measuring time and
all through the year here people
speak OF events that occurred so long
before. or so long after, the fair. This
is not strange for while the fair Is
not perfection. yet II is admittedly a
model exhibition OF the kind, and not
a year passes but ttat managers OF
other fairs are at Cambridge to see
how Things are managed and 10 learn
how II is that the little village of
Cambridge can hold one OF the largest
and most successful fairs In the great
Empire state.
No part OF the exhibition will be
sighted this year. The agricultural
exhibit will be unusually large IN
every department. Eleven horse ra.
ces are on the boards so that there
viii be racing both forenoon and af.
ternoon OF each day except on Thurs.
day morning when the grand cayal.
cade OF prize stock win take place.
Music viii be furnished by DorlnR's
celebrated band OF Troy, which win
be In attendance each daysof the fair.
Special excursion trains at reduced
rates will run from all points and
with favorable weather there il no
doubt but that the Cambridge fair OF
1910 Will be the largest and the best
exhibition ever held at Cambridge.

plause which greeted the reference or
Chairman DeBoer to the matter OF
hedging about our caucuses and con-
ventions with stronger safeguards,
and the manner in which the plank
demanding the same restrictions as
apply to elections was received showed
plainly that tho paramount issue In
the campaign Is caucus reform. This
subject will be discussed more than
any other during the state campaign

dates who stand on the platform Will

territory outside of cities and of school

Albany Columbia, Rensselaer,. Scho-

among the counties which will have three
supervisory districts each. Saratoga,
Washington and Herkimer counties are
included in the counties which will have
four districts each.
Provision Ia made for the election Of
two school directors In each town at the
general election this year. The school d.

districts will elect tho district superintend-

LIQUOR QUESTION IN POLITICS.

ore of the interesting phases Of po-
litical campaigns like that through
which Vermont has just passed, is the
way In which liquor interests and
temperance sentiment are used TO

speaking of the nomination of a third
party prohibition ticket the Mont
pelier Journal says:
1.-THE prohibition platform demands
the resubmission OF prohibition to the
people by constitutional amendment
The republican platform expresses the
belief that the local option principle
should not be abandoned without a
