lows:
Montpelier, Oct. Is, 1872
Hon. C. P. Smith. Burlington. VT.
Dear Sir: Some time ago you mentioned
to me the needs of an institution for the
care and upbringng Of destitute YER
mont children.
You said that my predecessor in office,
the late Governor Fletcher d. Proctor,
was so deeply interested in this home
that he gave directions for the prepara-
ton Of a codicil to his will laying down
certain conditions and In the event OF
their fulfillment providing for gift to
this Home for Destitute Children Of
twenty-five thousand dollars You further
said that although the untimely death of
Governor Proctor prevented the COM
pletion of the codicil and left 1t of no
effect at law. Mrs. Proctor and her family
desired to carry out the gift subject to
the conditions which Governor Proctor
had outlined. namely: That the securing
OF the gift should depend upon the rails
ing of a like amount on or before the
first day of January. 1914; that the home
shall continue to offer equal opportunity
for the reception Of children from all
parts OF the State of Vermont, and that
II shall maintain as substantial feature
of its work an Infants department for
the reception and care OF small infants.
Now In view OF these facts. taking
into account what you have told me of
the work and of Governor Proctor's ap-
proya, and keen interest In 1t. feel
strongly that this sift should be secured.
And in order that the work toward re.
curing II may he hurried to accomplish
ment before the time limit has expired,
take Measure In sending You as trustee
NJ the permanent fund of the Home for
Destitute Children one thousand dollars
which ia perhaps your institutions pro.

customary for the Governor OF Vermont

With best wishes,
Very sincerely yours.

Democratic Committeeman.
Democratic interests centers on the
national committeeman and few peo-
pie have much idea as to what the
situation is. There seems to be a
vague idea that Duis, Wilson and
Bruegger are leading, but If is rather
intangible.
In the southern part of the state
Perry has made a good showing. In
several counties Mclean of Fargo
ranks up we'll.
Ben Whitehead of williston is said
to be running better than the other
candidates in the western part OF the
state, not high man in any counties
but getting a good vote in almost all
of them. One of his supporters de-
clared this afternoon that Whitehead
would have better statewide run
than any other candidate.
Claims Bruegger Ahead.
State Chairman MtApthur said to
The Forum just before going to press
that forty-two our OF sixty precincts
in Cass county had given John
Bruegger majority over the other
candidates for democratic national
committeeman in this county.

The Taft vote is negligible in some
counties. In some he gets only about
