COMMISSIONER PROUTY'S POSITION
MADE CLEAR.

There has been so much rumor concern
ing the intention OF Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Charles A. Prouty TO re-
tire from that work and return to his

that he intended to become candidate
for United States senator to succeed
William P. Dillingham;, that the follow
ing from the Newport Express and
Standard, apparently authorized, is very
instructive:
"As the home paper of the Hon.
Charles A. Prouty of the interstate COM
merce commission, we are authorized to
state that the report now current that
he is soon to resign his position and
return to his old home in Newport Il
mistake. The report grew out of II
remark made by him at recent meeting
of the Vermont association in Wash
ington. d. c., and which was not intend
ed to convey the meaning that has been
attached to it. Mr.. Pronty will serve
out his full term Oh the commission. AS
