1t has web feet, it alights in trees TO
rest after long flights. 1t is closely
AIMED to the pelican in conformation
and habits. 1t is an expert diver and
swims with such swiftness under wa

The cormorant swims very low in
water and is not often seen by the

tail feathers support him and he makes
an awkward appearance. In the breed

| to be held at Bennington and Barre on

/ ed to nominate Chester f. 0rdway OF
| proctorsville and John Spargo of Old
Bennington in their respective districts.
The convention adopted a platform
which praises the party's national nom
inees and pays a glowing tribute to the
work OF Congressman Victor L. Berger
of Wisconsin. All political parties are
declared to be representative of eco
nomic interests. The Republican and
Democratic parties are declared to be I'M.

of the laboring masses. 1t is also
claimed that the Socialist party is the
only party whose program upon the trust
question is not destructive. The con
structive feature of the Socialist pro-
gram is most emphasized.
The platform demands for this state
equal suffrage for both sexes; the initia-
tive. referendum and recall; abolition of
child labor and of night work for wom
en-; better legislation for the insurance
of working people against accidents and
disease; abolition of the poll tax and
educational reforms.
The convention also adopted by mani-
nous vote a statement reported by the
committee on platform, dealing with the
subject of religion. 1t is intended to use
this extensively in the campaign as al
leaHet, cspecldllN bHhVlig 'hS N"1hoiic
voters of the state. The statement
shows that the party is entirely neutral
in its attitude toward all creeds and
sects. taking its stand upon the funda-
mental principle laid down in the consti-
tuition OF the United States.
The principal change in the constitu-
tion of the party makes the state com
mittee elected by the state convention,
and therefore to hold office for two years.
The Office of state chairman is made Il
permanent feature of the constitution,
the incumbent of the office being a
member of the state committee and OF
the national committee. John Spargo of
Old Bennington was elected to this posi- |
tion. The other members of the state
committee are Fred Suitor, Barre; w. II. |

Cuero Mines in Cuba
ASSAILANTS DRIVEN BACK
There Were No Casualties Among Amer
lean Troops, and 1t Is Not Known if
Insurgents Lost Any--Interven-
tion Feared in Havana.

Santiago. Cuba. June l0.-A company
of United States marines, commanded by
Captain Edward B. Manwaring, which
was engaged in guarding the FL Cuero
mines, was attacked to-day by force
of insurgents, who were repulsed after
considerable firing. There were no cas-
lualties among the marines. The loss of
the insurgents is not known.
The force of insurgents burned some
cane fields on the sugar plantations of
Hatillo. A detachment of volunteers
was attacked by the insurgents three
miles from here, and several of the reb
els are reported to have been injured.
Havana, Cuba, June l0.-The popular
impression is that the incoming of the
American warships under command of
Rear Admiral 0sterhaus means speedy
intervention by the United States. OFF,
cials, however, unanimously scout the
idea of Intervention, regarding the send
ing of the ships as friendly act on the
part of the United States. They deplore
that Washington is misled by exaggerat-
ed reports into the belief that racial
war is about to break out.
