MASSACHUSETTS DIVIDED.

Massachusetts is evenly divided be-
tween the President and Col Roosevelt
in the election in the primaries Tues
day of delegates to the Republican ma
tional convention Eighteen district del
egates are for Taft, 10 district dele
gates are for Roosevelt and the latter
in addition received majority of
slightly over 5000 for the eight dele
gates-at large. Voters in addition to
marking the ballots for delegates also
expressed their presidential preference
and on this vote Taft carried the state
by a plurality of 3605. Information has
been sent out from Oyster Bay to the
effect that Colonel Roosevelt renounced
his claim on the eight delegates at large
owing to the preference in favor of
Taft Whether these delegates will go
to the convention and vote for Taft or
Roosevelt appears to be undecided at
the present time.
The supporters of the regular Taft
ticket claim that ex-senator Seiberlich
was responsible for defeating the Taft
ticket. He ran as an indepedent Taft
candidate and hundreds of voters all over
the state invalidated their ballots by
marking the Seiberlich name along with
the eight regular Taft nominees. AS
there were but eight delegates TO be
elected all the tickets marked for nine
were thrown out as defective.

Fellowship Wednesday evening and an
audience which filled the lodgee room
to overflowing was present to enjoy the
evening. The date of the anniversary is

red white and blue streamers, extend

ANOTHER INDUSTRY
Board Of Trade Secures a Last
Block Factory
Fifty Men viii Be Empioyed-WiII
Begin Construction at Once.

An important and valuable industry
has been secured for Brattleboro by the
board of trade. Several New York men
who are experienced in the business
have concluded to locate last block
factory in town. Negotiations have been
carried on for several months between
the board of trade committees and these
parties. 1t appears that this location
located on a portion of the Hunt farm
property adjacent to the Vernon town
line. The owners will require that the
town provide an earth sidewalk from
the end of the street car line at South
Main street to the plant, which can be
done at comparatively small expense,
also that street lights be extended to
that point and water mains be laid The
board of trade has to purchase and con-
tribute the land and provide a sidetrack
except the iron. The town will be asked
to exempt the plant from taxation for
a term of ten years 1t will not be
asked that the land be exempt, simply
the improvements thereon.
The construction of the plant will be-
gin at once, during this month, and
enough of the plant will be completed
by Sept. 1st to begin operations Event
ually the business, when it gets to 60
ing, will employ about so men. 1t is
hoped that there will be a steady in
crease in the business so as to event.
ually employ a much larger number.
The town meeting to be held ON the
exemption question will be called shortly.
Frederic H. Sanford of New York will be
the manager of the plant He will come
here to live at once.

MINE OWNERS FAVOR
LARGER ASSOCIATION
Hope to Extend Scope of Or
ganization to Other Noun
tain States.

AT the call of the committee of five,
consisting of Frank B. Cook. r, q,
Gemmel, Duncan MacVichie, liner Petit
and George II. Dern the metal mine
operators of the state Of Utah met
last evening at the Commercial club
and received the report submitted by
the committee The committee was ap.
pointed at meeting Of the operators
on August 2 for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether or not the Utah oper.
ators would support financially and
morally a state organization for the
purpose of protecting the metal produc"
ing industry and the report recon-
mending such an organization was
adopted UNANIMOUSLY.
There developed at last nights ses-
sion an inclination to make the pro
posed organization more far reaching
than purely a Utah affair and after an
extended discussion il was unanimous
ly decided TO extend the organization in
its membership, activities and Official
composition to all the other western
metal producing states if possible.
For this purpose a committee of three
was appointed, to be known az the nom
ination committee, which VIII CORE
spond with prominent mining men in
Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Arizona and
other states in the effort TO interest
them In an interstate ASSOCIATION. Inc
committee is composed of George E.
Gum, Frank B, Cook and Duncan Mac
Vichie. who will work in conjunction
with the committee of five appointed
on August in outlining as far as pos
sible the details Of an interstate ssso-
cation, should the project meet with
sufficient support from the other
states.
Last night meeting was a large and
enthusiastic ono and all branches of the
Utah metal producing industry were
represented the most prominent men of

SUZZALLO INDORSES
BEAUT|FY|NC PLAN
Famous Educator Thinks Pro-
feSSor Stewards Idea Should
Be Adopted.

Professor Henry Suzzallo OF Columbia
university, who recently attended the
congress In company
with former Governor Brady OF Idaho
sends the following Endorsement OF Pro
tessor Stewards plan for beautifying
Salt Lake city
I certainly favor the plan TO organ
ize chlldren's clubs for the useful
identification OF the city. The
schools cannot begin too early to de-
velop a public spirit In children; and
this plan offers a practical and et-
fectiye start 1 hope the CONNER
cial organizations OF Salt Lake City
and the public schools Will be Wig
orous in enlisting the cooperation
OF the city government and property
holders, so that the children OF each
neighborhood can turn every weedy
lot and parking in their own neigh.
borhood into useful and beautiful
cultivation.
There is not the slightest reason
why Salt Lake should not be made
the most beautiful city in the coun-
try. The commercial clubs might
well appoint director OF clubs to
act in conjunction with the school de-
the children for this work. The chill
dren OF cities need work places as
well as Fairgrounds. and this policy
provides the right kind Of work In
the open air The motive for II will
be OF the best type and the apprecia-
ton Of the public will encourage the
children.
The city ought to pass an anti
weed ordinance if It has not done
SO already. Then the commercial
organizations should get the prop
erty owners to grant the children the
use of their empty lots for tillage.
II the children work In their own
neighborhoods. the property will be
moro readily loaned, dissatisfaction
Of land owners with any mistakes OF
the children will be decreased. and
the children will be near enough
home for their parents TO feel COM
