In giving $4,000 to the Home for
Destitute children Mrs. Fletcher d.
Proctor has recognized one of the
greatest needs Of the state. The late
Governor Proctor had intended to
include this gift in his will and had
a codicil prepared for the purpose,
but died before 1t was executed. Mrs.
Proctor was under no legal obliga-
ton to carry out the suggestion, but
has done so gladly and deserves the
thanks of the state for aiding in one
OF the great causes Of humanity. the
aiding of unfortunate children to be-
come intelligent and useful citizens.
The one greatest work OF the present
generation is to help the coming gen
Grafton to be wiser and better than
the one now upon the stage Of hui
man activity. and all aid in this great
cause deserves the most sincere con-
sideration.

GRAND TRUNK ACTIVITY
Applies to Legislature for an Entrance
Into Boston.

Boston, Jan. 1.-THE application
made to the Legislature by the
Southern New England railway cor
poration, a part of the Grand Trunk
system, for an entrance into Boston,
has aroused unusual interest Not
content with asking permission TO
construct a road from a point on the
Central Vermont railway in the Con-
necticut valley, across New Hamp-
shire and Middlesex county to BIOS
ton. the Grand Trunk seeks also TO
build line from Blackstone to Bos-
ton, another from Douglas to Worces-
ter, and petitions for authority 70

there has for a long time been talk

Trunk would operate a line OF YES

in direct competition, possibly, with
both out side and Long Island sound
lines. The Central Vermont already
operates a line from New London to
New York.
Before filing it's petition for legis-
lation officials Of the Southern New
England company went before the
port directors, outlined their plans IN

lnces from the directors OF the port
that they will be given an entrance

take the shortest cut to the water

where the port directors could iur'

to show the women hereabouts how
to throw their hats in the ring" Z
Miss Judd was plainly,
prettily dressed and spoke with earnest
ness and eloquence. She is particular

her subject. She said she was not a
militant suffragist, and that there was
no occasion for such in Wisconsin as
as the attitude of the men, she said
they we're "politely non committal.
She claimed the movement was grow

BOTH SIDES CLAIM
VICTORY IN OHIO
Believed State to Be Pivotal in
Political Battle.
PRIMARY HELD TUESDAY
Four Candidates, Republican and DEM
ocratic, Have Spent Week of Al
most Continuous Travel in
Making Campaign.

Columbus, O., May 2O.-Tonight four
presidential candidates, who for more
than week have spent their time in
almost constant travel and speaking,
will end their campaign in this state.
The managers OF each are making
claims of certain victory in the pri-
mary tomorrow.
The state is conceded by most poll
ticians to be the deciding point in the
battle for the presidential nominations
and especially in the fights OF the two
native sons, President Taft and Cover
nor Harmon.
President Taft said at Cleveland last
week that ne considered Ohio the piv-
otal point in the preconvention cam
paign.
Colonel Roosevelt, while insisting
that he will carry the state, said he
could win the nomination even should
he be defeated at the primaries in this
state tomorrow.
No Part of State Neglected.
President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt,
Senator La Toilette, among the Repub-
licans, and numerous other advocates
spent the greater part of last week on
trains, and there has been no section
of the state neglected. Candidates
even spent one day in West Union,
Adams county, unmindful of the fact
that the great majority Of men in the
county had been diSfranchised for
frauds in former elections and were
voteless.
Competition in the Democratic ranks
is scarcely less keen than among the
Republicans. Col. William Jennings
Bryan, backed by National Committee.
man Harvey G. CARRIER, urging voters
to support Gov. Woodrow Wilson OF
New Jersey, to defeat Governor Har.
mon, toured the state just ahead of the
Ohio executive.
Claims Roosevelt Will Win.
Walter f. Brown, Rooseyelt's Ohio
manager, refused to make predictions
on the outcome of Tuesdays primaries,
although the press bureau of the
Roosevelt committee declared ROose-
welt will carry the state by big ma
jority.
Lewis ~. Idly ILL., WIN las L4ohcASOO
President Taft's state campaign, made
the following prediction:
1.-The primary election will be com.
plete vindication of President Taft by
his native state, and an emphatic in
dorsement of his administration.
The manager Of Governor Harmon
predicts his victory, while Democratic
National Committeeman CARRIER pre-
dicted the defeat of Governor Harmon
in practically every one of the Fl Ohio
districts.
No Presidential Primary Law.
Ohio has no presidential preference
primary law, but the primaries to be
held tomorrow are expected, neverthe-
less, to indicate who is favored by the
voter OF the state for the presidential
nominations.
The Republican voters OF one-fourth
of the SO counties will name delegates
to the state convention to be held
here on June 3, when six delegates at
large will be selected.
The ballots will not bear the names
of the presidential candidates, but
workers at the polls no doubt will find
a way to indicate to the voters how
the candidates stand.

In order that the country folks can
