PLAN TO ORGANIZE
BUILDING LOAN ASSN.
Directors of Barre Board of Trade Last
Night Took Definite Steps Toward
that Consummation--Ther
Are Few in the State.

Definite steps toward organizing a
building loan association in Barre Were
taken last night at a meeting OF the di-
rectors of the Board of Trade. when the
special committee appointed to consider
the project was instructed to secure a
charter for loan organization which
will probably be designated as the Barre
Building Loan association, The chair
man of the committee is Rev. J. b. Rear
don, pastor OF the Universalist church.
and Rufus q. Robinson and James +.
Higgins constitute the other members.
The chairman stated this morning that
a move would be made at once to secure
charter from the legislature. II is
hoped to have the shares distributed by
January l and the association doing bus
iness by that time.
Tho action last night is the outcome
Of an agitation which reached its first
head about three months ago when G..
NJ. Brownell of Burlington, a figure long
identified with the successful association
III the Queen city. addressed a gathering
of business men on the project in this
city At that time comment on his sre-
marks seemed to boil down into sent-
ment favorable to the organization of
an association. Since then the directors
of the Board of Trade, through the in
vestigations and observations OF its
special committee. have kept informed
Of the workings OF the building system
in other cities and the decision to launch
a similar project here is not the result
Of snappy Judgment or hasty view of
local conditions.
At the present time there are only
three places in Vermont which can boast
Of loan associations Of this nature. They
are Burlington, Essex Junction and
springfield. The plan has been favor
lbly discussed in Brattleboro and it is
not improbable that it will soon become
/ reality in the West river town. But
ocal believers in the association idea
nope that Barre will be fourth in the
ist. Building loan IDEAS which the
BOARD hope to put into practice when the
,hares are issued will be announced as
oon as the charter is secured.

edy. The woman and the children were
seen going into the quarry enclosure.

Used to Advantage.

At the Chicago convention, the
Roosevelt delegates and .sympathizers
were struck forcibly with one fact.
That is that the best seats, both in
the delegate and spectator sections,
were given to Taft delegates and sup
porters.. The committee on arrange
ments was Taft committee and saw
to it that the presidents friends re-
ceived the best.
Opposition to Taft and enthusiasm
for the Colonel was effectively damp
ened by the seating of large Taft del
egations directly in front of the
speakers stand and then scattering
other Taft delegations through the
Progressives. They were so arrang-
ed that whenever any Roosevelt
demonstration broke, the Taft sup
porters were always handy with
jeers and cries of "sit down." .
A large platform was built back
of the speaker and press stands and
was used for seating of special
guests. Few seats in this platform
were available for Roosevelt ,sympa-
thizers. and Taft speakers were al
ways sure of support at their backs
if they did not get it out in front.
On the contrary Roosevelt speakers
were not always given a fair hear,
ing.
It was also noticeable. that Taft
delegates and officials were given
preference in the general seats.
Those given the Minnesota delega-
ton were far back in the house, but
a few Taft. supporters from Minneso-
ia were able to get good seats on
the platform through friends who
were Taft supporters.
These are little things but they are
straws that show the direction of the
Taft influence. Every possible i'm
pediment, parliamentary and other
wise, was thrown in front of the
Roosevelt supporters.
