of this action is not apparent unless Rut-

BRArTLEBoRo, FRIDAY, NOV. 8, lell

Elections will be held in number OF
states Tuesday, Seven of them will elect
governors or other state officers, while the
remainder will choose justices, congress
men, members of the legislature or
MAYORS. While this is regarded as an off
wear considerable national interest centers
in the outcome of the Massachusetts, CUB
ematorial campaign. Eugene n. Foss, who
was elected governor last year by substan'
tial democratic majority, is running
against his associate in office, Louis A.
rockingham, and the fight they are wag-
ing is strenuous. To hear the republican
leaders talk one would wonder how Gov
emor Foss has the nerve to parade about
the commonwealth on the eve of such a
crushing catastrophe as is coming to him.
They say that he is simply big bluff and
that thousands of republicans who voted
for him last year have found this out.
They claim that his brief administration
has been excessively expensive and full OF
mistakes, and that his former popularity
is only hollow mockery, as will be shown
by majority of something like 10000 for
rockingham. On the other hand, the
democratic campaign managers express
sympathy for their deluded republican
friends, and add that unbounded enthusi
assn wherever their candidate appears is
pretty good evidence of what the people
think of him. In their opinion, the issue is
sharply drawn between conservative and
and they profess no fear that
cooperative influence is so strong that it |
can wipe out the margin of $4,000 for Foss

A decision handed down this week 10y
the United States supreme court seems to
ioreshadow complete control OF all the
railroads OF the country by the interstate
commerce commission, The court rules
that hereafter all locomotives, cars and
other equipment used ON any railway
which is a highway of interstate commerce
must comply with the federal safety appli-
nnce act, and in making this ruling the court
holds that cars and equipment of such
even if engaged in transportation within
the confines of state, must be considered
as completely under the jurisdiction of the
federal commission. Members of the inter.
state commerce commission are naturally
much pleased over the decision, believing
that it will prevent further clashes of au.
ihority with state railroad commissions.

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian finds that

Burlington is the one place in the state
where there is genuine competition in the
hotel business. 1t is dull day, apparently,
when the proprietors OF the new Vermont
and the old Van Ness are not putting
through some scheme to cause each other
annoyance. Meanwhile the travelling public
watches the scrap with selfish interest
born of the excellent service which the
controversy engenders.

DeBoer's Attitude.
(Ludlow Tribune.)


The Hon. Joseph A. DeBoer of Mont.
pelier has written a letter announcing
that he is making no campaign, and
does not mean to make any campaign,
for the governorship-a position for
which he has been mentioned by certain
of our contemporaries. But he indi-
Gates that he will take the nomination
if it is urged upon him, since he does
not believe in Sinking a public duty.
There is nothing new about this an
nouncement Of Mr.. DeBoer's position
as to the governorship. If we remem.
Der correctly, he has said this same
thing before, and, when he says he does
not propose to make any effort toward
a nomination, we believe he means what
he says. There is no question of his
ability to fill satisfactorily the first
place within the gift of the voters; but
he has always assumed an Indifferent
attitude in regard to the gubernatorial
nomination in it's relation to himself.
Because of this Indifference on his part,
the people of the state generally have
not been inclined to take his "men-
toned" candidacy seriously We fail
to see how his letter can have any de-
terrent effect on the increasingly strong
sentiment in favor of "the gentleman
from Cavendish,' and the latter s
friends have no reason for being dis
turbed over the latest news from Mont
heller

MANY recent brides have dispensed
with group Of grown.up attendants,
preferring TO surround themselves with
a bevy of children. Perhaps the deflec.
tion from the custom of girl friends
in this capacity is purely selfish one,
especially when the bride has not been
lavishlv dealt with in the matter of
beauty s charms Certainly the presence
of six or even two marvellously dressed
maids detracts from the attention due
the bride herself and if one of the maids
is particularly lovely, the result is far
from satisfactory. All honor and glory
to the bride on this golden day of days,
so essentially her very own. Children
are easily dressed, and there is no com.
plant about having to wear pink when
blue is more becoming, or yellow when
violet is the favorite color. A pink
sash. blue sash. OF a yellow sash looks
well on any dainty little lingerie frock.
At a recent wedding in an old Southern
home. redolent with the traditions of
Colonial DAYS, the little folks of the
bride and groom s family wore the
fluffy berufiled dresses of grandmother
DAYS. Powdered Janice Meredith curls
hung over plump, dimpled shoulders and
black ribbons caught back the powdered |
wigs of the miniature men, dressed in
blue brocade. with buckled shoes and !
lace ruffles. Still another idea worthy
Of emulation was a group of tiny girls |
in shepherdess costume. carrying crooks |
tied with great pink and blue bows, and
wearing lace caps held in with blue
ribbon and pink rosebuds. The bride
who selects children for her wedding |
party usually invites her best chum or |
ler sister to be maid of honor and she
'eldom makes a mistake in creating an
ltosphere of joyous youth about her
day.

Catholic University opened its basket
ball season last night by defeating the
Corcoran Cadets, q to 19. The game
showed that the Brooklanders have the
makings of a good team this season.
The Red and Black team got off to a
good start and led the Soldiers all the
way. At the end of the first half the
landers. When the second half opened
several changes were made in the c. U.
lineup, but this did not seem to weaken
the team in the least, for they continued
to increase their lead until near the end
of the game, when, with about two min
utes to play, the Cadets got going and
Gagged the ball four times in rapid sue
cession. But the Rrooklanders' guards
covered up we'll, and the Cadets were
unable TO get the one basket necessary
versity, Capt Mcdonnell played the best
game, getting five field goals, most %
which were from difficult angles. Giovan-

Of 1910. l take the liberty of using your
paper as medium in arranging a game
with the Vigilants for any Sunday on
their own grounds with the understand
ing that the winners take 65 per cent OF
the gate receipts.
1T is the opinion of all the members
Of last years team, after witnessing Sun
days game, that with one weeks prac-
tice we could trim the mighty Vigilants
and If the manager of the Vigilants de-
sires action please let him come across
with weeks notice and A A. c. will
be Johnny on the spot
With COckrell, Mcbride, Trigger. and
Snowden behind the line the VigiIants
will face one of the best back fields that
can be found among the amateur teams
or this vicinity, and the old stone wall
front line. Gtebel's line plunging would
stop with such a crash that he would
quit, while F. CockreIl and Sutherland

happen.
