William Jennings Bryan for CRITICS
ing his position on extension of the
tariff revision program. IL was the
most remarkable scene in the House
since the beginning of the extra SEES
sion of Congress. Mr.. Underwood
! denounced Mr. Bryans statements as
false, defended his (Underwood's)
attitude as to revision of the iron and
steel tariff schedules, and said Bryan
had placed upon every democratic
member implications unfounded in
fact. He called on his democratic
colleagues on the ways and means
committee for confederation of his at

Mr.. Underwood was backed up in a
similar striking speech by Represen-

pressed his surprise that any demo

OBSERVES sOth BIRTHDAY
John Farnum Celebrates Anniversary
at His Home Wednesday

At the home OF his grandson, c. K.
Farnum on Dewey street, John Far
mum, for the past ten years a resident
of Bennington, yesterday celebrated
his 9Oth anniversary. The occasion
was observed quietly because of his
enfeebled condition. Although the
fight of years is evident Mr..
Farnum enjoys good health and still
retains his happy and cheerful dispos-
ition, taking an active interest in
current happenings, which he dis
cusses in an interesting manner.
Mr.. Farnum was born in the town
of Landgrove, VT, August 2. 1921.
His parents were James and Sarah
Dodge Farnum who removed to that
town from New Hampshire over 100
years ago. When ten years of age
his parents moved to Londonderry,
where he and his brothers and sisters
of whom there were eleven. attended
the public school. AT this time there
were only nine families in London
derry. The town could not boast of
store or mill and the townspeople
were forced to travel to the next ham
let, a distance of three or four miles
to obtain provisions
After leaving school he worked on
his fathers farm, which consisted OF
some 200 acres. In 1912 he married
Tafene Dutton of Windham. Two
sons, Cortese and Frank came to
bless the union. Later he dlscontin-
ued his agricultural pursuits and en-
gagged in the manufacture of chairs
in Londonderry He built up a large
and prosperous business and the pro
duct OF the factory became well
known. In 1912 on the 2nd of Aug
ust the factory was totally destroyed
by fire
Mr. Farnum and his family ther
removed to North Adams, where he
again took up farming, which pursuit
he followed until he took up his res
idence in Bennington ten years ago.
Mr. Farnum has lived through stir
ring and interesting times and La!
lived an active life. He hab seel
many inventions and improvements
perfected He can remember dis
tinctly the early times in Vernon
and can recall some OF the spirite,
conflicts between the Wings and tn,
Democrats He first voted for Johl
Tyler Tor president, but can recall
the animated campaign Of Andrey
Jackson Tor the presidential chair.
