The committee session was marked
by extreme bitterness of feeling. Once
the lie was passed and blows seemed
Imminent. Mr.. Bryan from first to
last was the central figure in the pro-
ceedings and the fight precipitated at
the very moment the committee was
called to order lasted throughout the
day.
So much time was devoted to the
contested seats in the committee that
the important matters of choosing a
convention city, fixing the time of the
gathering and adopting a form of call
to include the @'permissive primary"
plan of selecting delegates went over.
Baltimore stood out well to the fore
Of all her competitors. The repre-
sentatives of that city displayed a

Palmer said that although he had been
thrown out of the committee it would
not affect his loyalty to his party in
any way.
Mr.. Bryan, arraying himself against
some of his friends of old, including
National Chairman Norman E. Mack
and Senator William J. Stone of Mis-
souri,. inveighed bitterly against Col

Fish and Game Laws.

An act to eodify and amend the
fish and game laws has been intro
duced in the legislature, the pro-
visions of which it is understood
have the approval of Commissioner
j. w. Titcomb. Vermont sportsmen
are of course interested in the meas
ure, and there seems to be general
impression that it's passage would
unnecessary further fish and game
make Legislation for some time to
come.
Local fishermen have been some
what exercised over what they allege
10 in many instances, the illegal
posting of trout streams Brooks
stocked and unstocked. and brooks
not stocked annually. are posted,
and the tramping fisherman facing
these terbiiding signs. not knowing
under what conditions they are put
up without consulting the town
clerk, turns away with much bitter
ness aud an empty fish basket.
But this bill contains provision
which, it is considered, would clear
the situation somewhat. 1t reads:
"A person who maintains poster
prohibiting fishing for more than
one year after said waters were last
stocked by him shall be fined ten
dollars for each poster so maintained.
Commissioner Titcomb fears the
overcrowding of deer hunting
grounds and under this act deer may
be shot from November to Novem
her .25 This proposed change is not
unreasonable considering local CON
ditions. for forty hunters were
counted in the Long hill neiRhb"r-
hood in one day last week, and
doubtless similar conditions prevail
in other parts of the state.
