Emory S. Harris, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, returned
yesterday from Burlington where he
went to meet other members of the
committee and make plans for the
canvass. Mr.. Harris is quoted by
the Burlington Free Press as saying
I'VE intend to do our best this fall.
We shall put up the biggest fight we
have in us. We think our prospects
are exceedingly bright this year. We
shall make the most of them. We do
not know yet whom the national COM
mittee will send to help us out, but
We know they will be good men,
Dates and other details have not been
arranged"
1t is of interest to note that the
present Card of Instruction to Voters
is now headed by the Freeman's Oath,
whereby the voters are reminded that
they have sworn that when they cast
their vote they will do it for the best
| interests of the state without fear or
favor of any man." This Is the re-
suit of six years of struggle upon the
part of the Hon. NJ. j. Hapgood of
Peru, the measure having been de-
feated heretofore on account of his
successful opposition TO the increase
of salary of the state officers. This
action is especially appropriate for
Vermont since this oath was the first
thing ever printed In this nation and
the press used is now in the state
historical room at Montpelier.

Advice To Boys and Girls.

Save your pennies and send them
TO the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies
dimes or dollars.
Why?
Because it wishes to encourage the
children to be frugal and to have a
little bank account of their own, ev
en- though the initial deposit is the
smallest possible sum.
Children who commence an &C.
count on a penny, a nickel. OF a dime

OF the most effectively presented of
which was Neidilnger's familiar "Sere-
made" Miss Fftzhugh's enunciation
both in English and Italian is clear
and distinct, and her singing OF the
pronounced coloratura order.
Possessing all that inherent theatric
acumen of her race, with the modih-
cation of artistic training, Miss Fitz-
hugh gave several readings, both with
and without musical accompaniment,
which were dramatically appealing,
her versatility being manifested in her
humorous selections which were Civ
en- with fine theatric effect. In her ne
gro dialect presentments she was in,
imitable.
Miss Fitzhugh travels alone and in
an interesting and tactful little speech
stated her belief in the capabilities OF
the individual to dominate all physical
and racial handicaps and the ability
of her race to rise above forced condi.
tons, stating that the rag-time style
of music should be discarded as vel
as the rag-time department.
The program included an interesting
talk on Race Progression" by w. H
Dennis, a reading by Mrs. Bessie Kel
