Montpelier, W., Sept. 1.-The first
important test of political strength
ing this year will be made in Yer
mont. Tuesday, when the first state
election will be held. National is
sues have been presented, and the
effect upon the Republican and Dem

week, will be watched with inter

Chairman l.. c. Williams, OF the

will be slightly above $4,000. The
Democratic vote will be from $4,000
to 10000 and the Progressives will

owned it held up, did she place the
hat on the box and walk over 10 the
river and jump in, or was it dropped
out of an automobile, picked up by
someone and laid on the box These
and other theories were suggested to
him, but the real reason why the hat
