ORGANIZING WOMEN.
Miss Carpenter to Take Charge of Bull
Moose Work.

New York, Aug. l3.-Miss Alice Car.
penter of Brookline. Mass. who was the
woman member en- the committee on res.
olutions of the national convention of
the Progressive party at Chicago, reached
New York yesterday and will at onci
take charge of organizing the woman
members of the party in this state. She
has been designated a member of the
provisional state committee. Miss Car
penter and several other women, who are
to be named by the state convention at
Syracuse September >. will become full
members of the state committee. Miss
Carpenter has brought with her a plan
for state organization work, prepared by
the women members of the national com
mittee. The plan advocated at least one
"and advisedly more than one" woman
member of each state or central COM
mittee and of each county committee.
Chairman Hitchkiss of the provisional
committee for New York state said that
a central speakers bureau was to be
established soon with branches in Brook
lyn, Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany and other
places. II is hoped that before the cam
paign is ended meetings will be held in
every hamlet in the state.
Former Lieutenant Governor Timothy
L. Woodruff said at the headquarters
yesterday that he intended to run fof
the assembly in the 10th assembly dis
trict in Kings county this far on the
Progressive ticket.

PREPARING VERMONT SPEECHES.
By Them Roosevelt Hopes to Dent the
Republican Breastworks.

Oyster Bay, \. Y, Aug. l3-Col.
Roosevelt devoted the major portion of
his time yesterday to the preparation of
the speeches that he will deliver in Yer
mont and Massachusetts.
Months ago, when the primary fight
started, the first returns were from
North Dokota, with a plurality for La
Toilette, and it an open secret here
that at the present time the colonel
fears that, as in the primary fight. the
first state returns from Vermont, may
be against him.
At the present moment the chief dc
sire of the Bull Moose of Sycamore Hill
is to beat the Taft state ticket in Yer
mont. There is not much expectation
of this among the leaders of the Roosc-
Welt movement at present, but they are
hoping that the moose call when Roose-
welt visits the Green Mountain state
may bring something like a close fight.
There is no question that Roosevelt
wishes to be returned a winner, through
his representatives in the first fght
His managers believe that this would
give great moral influence to the cam
paign.

EVERYONE DO SOMETHING
To Help Along Barre's Hotel Project,
Because Barre Needs Hotel.

Citizens of Barre express themselves
as very much pleased to know that the
new hotel project is alive, and with the
support Of few more liberal applicants
for stock this hotel will be in the process
of development.
Some are asking Who is to see that
this hotel is built after the stock is sub
scribed? That will be up to you who
buy stock to say who shall have charge
of your money The committee that is
working so hard to see this hotel built is
doing this work for the sake of Barre's
public good and while they all expect to
receive the benefits of this new hotel
they do not. any of them, do this work
with any selfish motive in view. We
all believe that we have long passed that
time when new hotel was needed; we
are up to time when we cannot any
longer do without this new hotel. It's
not a question as to whether it will
pay. just what this seasons reports
from different Vermont hotels that are
in towns not half the size, or as progress
sive. as Barsa, and YOU will find that
they are well patronized and paying.
Then what should we expect a hotel to
be doing in our city, the third largest
city in Vermont? Barre has grown so
fast in her different branches that her
citizens hahdly realize her size, her infn.
enee, her wants and needs.
Let's think seriously on this hotel
proposition and act quickly while all
seem to want the same thing-a new
up -to-date hotel for Barre We are all
busy people here in Barre; most of us
have uses for all the money that we
have and many possibly more At the
same time, your committee believes this
to be of so great an interest that all
should share to some extent their in
terest and good will. with little money
invested in its stock to put Barre onto
the hotel map of New England If all
will take a little personal interest. call
in the support and influence of their
friends and neighbors. this hotel will be
built and managed so that all will feel
pleased to be a part to its public and
financial success.

penses, was l2l to n. Gill was seated
by a vote of l04 to 10 with 23 yotirg
present.
Mr.. Catlin Just before the first roll
call left the seat he had occupied in the
center of the Republican side of the
House and went to his desk far in the
rear. He lifted the desk lid and using
an adjoining chair as repository, re-
moved all of his books and papers and
he left the chamber with tagging steps.
Three-qua rters of an hour later his sue
cessful rival stood before the speaker =
desk and took the oath of office.
The case was bittery fought on both
sides. Representative Anderson Of MIN
nesota, Republican. who conducted the
argument in behalf of Mr.. Catlin, made
spirited defense. He was aided by Rep
resentative Switzer of Ohio. Olmsted of
Pennsylvania, Cooper OF Wisconsin. Me-
Call of Massachusetts, Bartholdt of Mis-
souri, and others. Chairman Hammill Of
the elections committee No. 2, with Rep
resentative Korbly of Indiana, Linthi-
cum of Maryland and Hambli of Mis-
souri,, bore the brunt of the prosecl-
tion.
The charge against Mr. Catlin was
that he and his family had spent Si0,-

Missouri law prohibited an expenditure
of candidates Of more than S665. Other
charges of fraud were made, of all Of
which Mr.. Catlin denied knowledge lie
also denied he knew at the time or any
expenditures made by his father and
brother.

is no suffering as result of these SAM
