Redmond Suggested &.

SSStSu'
The report that Attorney General J.
G. Sargent of Ludlow will not be a
candidate for reelection is causing
several of the legal lights to show
signs Of political fever. F. l.. Fish
of Vergennes is one of the first to be
in the mentioned" class. R. E..
Brown of Burlington is said to be will
ling to be drafted, likewise Warren
r. Austin Of St. Adams. The name

been suggested. Waterbury Record.
Judge Miles Sentences.
Judge w. w. Miles. presiding in
Rutland county court, has sentenced
Henry McTabb, the desperate who
shot Thomas W. Rogers of Brandon in
attempting to rob Mr.. Rogers house

Henry McTabbs in Vermont, if there
are any with such vicious tendencies
as he displayed, take due notice of
the fate of McTabb No. l. If there
is any deterrent il the system of

FOR National Convention.
The news despatch to the Free
Press regarding Vermont politics,
which we published last week gave
the name Of Sen. C. S. Page for the
head of the Vermont delegatiOn to
the national republican convention in
1912 and named T. N. Vail as another
man Vermonters would like to honor
with a position on the delegation.
We understand Sen. Page would
accept the position of chairman if the
Vermonters desire him and there is
little prospect of any opposition to
him.
If Mr.. Vail would accept a pos ton
or the delegation Vermont could not
do better than tender it to him.
While Mr.. Vail has large business in
terests outside of Vermont he is one
of the most loyal supporters of Yer
mont progress, and any thing that will
develop and Uplift the agricultural
interests of Vermonters. to be found
within the borders of the state. His
judgment is OF the best and his sup
port of any man for the head of the
national ticket would be verdict all
Vermonters could safely accept
For the second man on the west side
suggest the name of J. l.. SouthWick
editor of the Burlington Free Press
Mr.. Southwick has been a loyal anC
consistent supporter Of the republican
party for many years and has received
but little recognition from the party
He has never stated to US that hi
desired such a position. but if he doe
the party would make no mistake il
rendering him this slight honor a
reward for his faithful work
Geographical reasons would Sugges
man from the southeastern section
of the state and with the recognitio
given the business and newspaper in
terests of the state in the selection o
the men named above it would seen
fitting to choose a member of tn
legal fraternity for the fourth mar
The names of Clark G. Fits an
Maxwell Evarts suggest themselve
to US. Either one would do the stat
honor in case the voters decided t
select him for the place. These al
only suggestions made to diret
thought to the matter.-St. Johns

virtual disapproval of sending The

Mr.. Vail, from the nature of his
terests, cannot duly and truly re
