CARD PLAYING ON TRAINS.
Case That Might Be Of Interest to
Tourists in Switzerland.

Lausanne correspondence Pail Mall Gazette.
A case of International interest. espe-
cially to those travelling on the continent,
has just been decided by the high court
Of justice here.
In an International train on the Goth
art. line, between Pellinzona and Lucerne,
two barristers and solicitor were play
ing cards in the restaurant car.
The railway officials asked them re-
peatedly to cease playing. which eventu-
ally they did. Presently, however. they
began again. and then the authorities
fined them 6 francs each for disobedience
of orders.
The fine was paid. but the three law
yers appealed against it, taking the case
to the high court here, arguing that the
railway officials had exceeded their au-
thority by filming them.
The high court, however confirmed the
fine and supported the railway officials
on the ground that the travelling public
must conform to the regulations of the
railway.
1t also added that any special regula-
tons which the railway authorities might
lay down on particular occasions must
also be obeyed by the public; otherwise
there could be no discipline.

One of the kilograms to which Judge
Gibson refers was dated Brattleboro,
March q, and was published in the
Montpelier Journal yesterday. 1t read as
follows
During the past few days there have
been sent out a large number of post
card ballots. signed by G. c. Dixon, ed
itor of the Deerfield Valley Times of
Wilmington, and bearing the names of
Taft. Roosevelt and LaFolette and Har-
mon. Underwood, Clark and Wilson.
The circular accompanying the bal
lots requests that the recipient indi-
cate his presidential preference by a
cross and further says that the voter
need not sign his name unless he so de-
sires.
1T is known that in many instances
two cards were mailed at the same
time to the same man. The cards are
all postmarked Brattleboro and the bal
lot is said to be directed by f. w. Glib
son and c. II. Thompson, managers of
the Roosevelt campaign in this section
During the past few days represen-
tatives of the Roosevelt men have been
on the streets here passing out the
cards but in each case unless a man
agreed to vote for Roosevelt he was not
given a card. 1t is also alleged that
care has been taken to mail cards only
to known Democrats and Roosevelt sup
porters.
THE result of the post card ballot I'M
der the circumstances should be unani-
mously for Roosevelt, as no one not a
Roosevelt supporter and not a Demo-
crat has been allowed to vote. The
Taft forces have been watching the stu
alton and while their plans are not given
out 1t Is said they have taken steps to
discount any effect the made-to- order
Roosevelt ballot may have"

The Republican and Democratic town
committees met last evening and signed
an agreement whereby 1t Is hoped to
prevent a person voting in both the
Republican and Democratic caucuses.
1t Is as follows:
In view of more or less scandal that
has heretofore resulted from the conduct
of both parties in Brattleboro by reason
of persons voting in both Republican and
Democratic caucuses, the committees of
both parties deem 1t right and prudent
to make arrangements to protect against
any possible happening OF that kind this
year, so it is arranged that each caucus
of each party will keep list of all per-
sons voting. and undertake in that
way to protect against any person
voting in both Democratic and Re-
publican caucuses. At the Republican
caucus next Saturday evening. a list will
be taken of all persons voting and at
the Democratic caucus to elect delegates.
when held. a like list will be kept and
II effort is made on the part OF any
voter to vote at both caucuses, a public
exposure will be forthcoming.

FIGHT FOR DELEGATES
Taft and Roosevelt Forces Line
Up Tomorrow Night

Republican Caucus in Festival Hall viii
Be a Test Of Strengthened. J. G. Estey
States His Position.
That the Republican caucus in Festival
hall tomorrow night for the election of
delegates and alternates to the district
and state conventions will outstrip its
predecessors in point of interest and
enthusiasm is a foregone conclusion. The
Taft men will be there and the Roose-
welt men will be there and both sides
will be out to win. The Roosevelt men
have been active the past week, and
they claim that there is a large following
in Brattleboro for T. r., but surface
indications are that a Taft delegation
will be elected. Representatives of both
factions had a run-together last night
to discuss the situation and make plans
for the caucus.
The caucus will be called at 7.30
o'clock. Its object is to elect IL delegates
and IL alternates to the district conven-
ton in Montpelier Tuesday, April 8, and
the same number of delegates to the
state convention in Montpelier the fol-
lowing day. At these conventions dele
gates will be elected to attend the Re-
publican national convention in Chicago
June IS, when a candidate for the presi-
dency will be nominated.
A fact which may not be generally
understood and which the voters should
not lose sight of is that of Col. j. Gray
Estey of this town is a candidate for
delegate at large from Vermont to the
national convention, on a Taft ticket
Some of the Roosevelt men have tried to
induce Col. Estey to state that he would
support their candidate in case the state
| convention declared its preference fol-
the man from oyster Bay, but Col Estey
declares that he will go as a Taft dele
gate or not at all His position is stated
| in the following letter received last night;

The Phoenix also received last night
the following letter from Judge E. w.
Gibson, a leader of the Roosevelt forces
in Brattleboro
Editor of The Vermont Phoenix:
| have read several special kilograms
sent out from Brattleboro to various
daily papers in this state stating in sub
stance that | am instrumental in secur-
ing a presidential postal card vote in
this county; that representatives of
Roosevelt men have been on the streets
passing out the cards to those who
would agree to vote for Roosevelt and
that care was taken to mail the cards
only to known Democrats and Roose-
welt supporters that the canvass is not
a fair one.
These statements are so absurd and
false that in the interest of decent
journalism L desire to make state
ment of the facts. l suggested this can
vass. in the absence of a primary. that
we may fairly know the choice of the
people.
The lists from which the postal cards
were addressed were made up, not by
a Roosevelt man, with the exception of
the list for one town. The person who
made them did not know the party af
filiations, had no personal acquaintance
with any choice for President. The lists
were absolutely fair and impartial.
That any attempt was made to select
Roosevelt men to whom to mail the
cards or that unfair methods have
been used, is absolutely false. Any
statement to the contrary sent out for
the purpose of forestalling the effect of
the canvass and misleading the voters,
smacks of dirty politics. Evidently the
machine is driven to the desperate tao
tics which it would not hesitate to
adopt in order to win.
And by the way, who sent out these
kilograms? Every newspaper man in
town denies authorship. Who sent them
out, | repeat? Was it at the behest of
the local machine? Let us have an
answer.
Very truly.
