BARRE FOR De B0ER
AND PLUMLEY
There Was Little Opposition to the
Former and None to the Latter
Failed to Instruct for
Frank Z. Howe.

Delegations favorable to DeBoer foi
in Congress were elected at the Barri
Republican caucus in Miles hall last
evening, and another delegation favorine
Frank ]. Martin for judge of probate
W. j. Clapp for assistant judge and j
Ward Carver for states attorney was
elected to go to the county convention
An effort to pledge the state delegation
for Frank Il. Howe of Bennington for
lieutenant governor failed.
+. G. Rowland was chairman of the
convention and A. A. Sargent secretary
After the Hat had been passed to pay
the rent of the hall for the caucus and
of the opera house for a previous eau
Gus, the caucus elected the following
Plumley delegates to the second district
convention: j. Ward Carver, c. NJ. Will
ley, A. NJ. Rossi, B. II. Wells, James
Mutch, B. w. Hooker, Frank +. Cave,
+. r. Davis, w. j. Clapp and j. w. Cor
don; alternates, Douglass Barclay,
Thomas Nichols. John Robins, Joseph
Calcagni, Alex. Gordon. A. B. Curtis,
|. Il. Springer, w. +. Beck, S. Rizzi and
Il. l.. Scott.
When it came to election OF the state
convention delegates, William Wishart
moved that the delegation be not in.
stTucted, which motion was opposed by
j. r. Mari, who moved to amend by
electing the delegation named with in.
structions to vote for DeBoer MI.
Wishart later said he wanted it known
that Barre wasn't unanimous for DeBoer,
but all the same he would withdraw
his motion; and still later, after a mo-
tion to ballot had been carried. MIR. Wish
art moved that inasmuch as there was
only the single Del3oer ticket before the
caucus the secretary be instructed to
east one ballot for the ticket. Ii was
done. The delegates are as follows;
John w. Gordon, r. g. Robinson, Richard
Grigg, S. Hollister Jackson. s. d. Allen,
r. A. Hoar and c. H. Wishart; alter
mates, James F. Marr, Donald w Smith,
+. Il. Langley, II. G.. Woodruff Paul BIZ
anchi, N. j. Phelps and Alex. Gordon.
At this point A. S. Martin moved that
the delegation be instructed to work for
he nomination of Frank T. Howe for
ieutenant governor j. p. Mari and s
1ollister jackson, while expressing their
warm regard for Mr. Howe thought il
would be unwise to tie up the delegation
or any candidate for lieutenant gov
,rnor. William Wishart thought to be
consistent in supporting a Washington
ounty man for governor they should
upport former Washington county
nan for lieutenant governor. The mo-
ion to instruct failed by vote of 10
o %.
