of Middlebury's former residents:
Having returned from Europe at the
call of homing instinct which prompt

full residences in the exclusive neighbor-
hood of Jackson and Spruce streets,
Mrs. George H. Martin now finds that
her literary tastes are impelling her to
return to the old world just as urgently
as did her desire to see San Francisco
call her westward year ago.

pied but brief two months, would sat

the soul of a sybarite, so luxurously is
it furnished. but the fact remains that
Pegasus does not fancy the heritage, so
Mrs. Martin will soon be on the wing
again.
The property has been sold to Mr..
and Mrs. Leon Greenebaum and next
week the Martins will vacate to reside

Trenton, Oct. 4:-Now that he has
been declared high man In the re-
publican contest for United States

maries, former Governor e. G.
Stokes, realizing that desperate eff
forts will be made to induce a major
ity of the legislature to ignore the
popular vote, is determined to prose-
cute his campaign vigorously and
continuously until the issue is finally
settled in a joint session of the legis-
lature next winter.
In accordance with this plan
copies of a petition have been sent to
political ~lieutenants of Mr.. Stokes In
every county in the state to be circu-
lated among republican voters with
a view to forcing party candidates to
pledge themselves to abide by the
direct primary results.
AS a prelude to the petition the
following plank from the republican
state platform of 1907 is quoted:
The legislature has passed reso-
l~utions favoring an amendment to
the federal constitution of the cleo
ton of United States senators by
popular vote; and until such amend
ment has been adopted, we favor the
enactment of a law for expression in
some authoritative way by the voter
of his choice for United States sena-
tor"
Then the petition goes on to say:
In accordance with this platform
a law was passed to enable the re-
publican voters to express, in an
