HOTEL DAY.
Wednesday, June 20, Set Aside For 1t
in Barre.

You are asked by the hotel committee
| to set aside Wednesday, June 26, as
hotel day. At that time there will be
l75 of Barre's citizens working as best
they know how, to get together hotel
fund large enough to build new hotel
that you realize Barre much needs. In
order to keep Barre booming along for
the next ten years, as she has in the past,
we must have one thing that other pro-
gressive cities have, and that one thing
is hotel. How to get at it is the
problem
Last year it was tried: lots of Barre
citizens, who could have helped, held
back; Others took hold literally. This
time our plan is a little different. In
stead of issuing all common stock and
mortgaging for the balance, we are max
ing each share into two kinds of stock,
common and preferred, so that every
purchaser will have stock with an earn
ing power; trying to do without a mort
gage; have Barrels citizens own the hotel
and have interest or dividends coming
back on their stock On this plan we
expect all old subscribers to double their
last year subscriptions for this reason
half OF your stock will return you five
per cent. and your common stock will be
worth more than on the other plan. This
hotel is for your benefit, as much as
for any member of your Board of Trade.
Our plans are the best we know how
TO make to protect your interests and
have you as citizens of Barre and her
outside helpers satisfied that the best
plan has been arrived at. This will mean
a lot of work on your part, possibly
some planning as to Just how much yoT
can give. Let us all have that interest
that encourages us to do all that we
possibly can and to do it right now, this
hotel day. Plans and location Of this
hotel will not be to satisfy any particular
one. The best plan and the best hotel
location that your hotel fund can accom-
modate will be selected. Those having
hotel locations, please send in their bids.
All those who will help the soliciting
of this hotel stock please be at manu-
facturers' rooms at 1880 this evening to
make plans for this hotel day, next
June 26.
At this time there seems to be hotel
vibration in the air. Nearly everyone
wants to know why there is not some
thing being done to get new hotel.
Other smaller cities are having new no
tells; why not Barre? Ten years ago a
modern hotel here would have been a
question as to its supporting itself. We
have now long since passed that stage
Of conditions. To-day there are visitors,
,itizens and travelling men enough wait
ing to fill modern hotel If rightly
managed. We have passed that expert |
mental time without a modern hotel. |
Now let's get together and have what
Barre most needs-a place on the hotel
map OF Vermont.

Chicago, June 20.-"So far as | am
concerned declared Colonel Roosevelt
to his delegates, and advisors in an
address this morning, Il am through. II
YOU are voted down | hope you, the real
and lawful majority of the convention,
will organize as such. and you will do
it if you have the courage and loyalty
of your conviction"
Il am speaking to you" said Colonel
Roosevelt, "as a man to whom some OF
YOU have done the honor to state that
you wish to nominate as president.

appeal to the people. Most of the dele
gates were chosen at dirt primaries by

said, and some of you heard me, that
if the people decided against me | would
have nothing to say, but that if the
people were for me and the politicians
tried to cheat me out of the nomination
| would have great deal to say
II went to the people and | won.
Now the national committee and por-
ton of the convention which is made
majority only by the aid of delegates
not elected but chosen by the national
committee, are trying to cheat me out
of the nomination. They can't do it,
As far as am concerned, il makes
no difference. But il is not me they
are cheating, it is the people, the rank
and file of the Republican party.
Governor Deneen to-day introduced
very moderate resolution in dealing with
the four fragrant steals. Mr.. Deneens
resolution was beaten to-day by fraudu
lent votes which in that resolution were
named by the votes of Texas. Arizona,
Washington and the two fraudulent
votes from California. If these votes
had been changed. the resolution would
Nave been carried.
ITO add insult to injury, the commit
tee on credentials organized by choos
ing as chairman Mr.. Devine, the ma
tional committeeman who had taken
part in the very theft on which he had
passed as a member of the national com
mittee.
"As far as T am concerned, am
through. | hope that tomorrow when
you 90 back to the convention hall you
will at once introduce resolution that
not one of those fraudulently seated
delegates shall vote on any question in
the credentials committee or in the con-
vention.
Don't lie down again if they beat
you by fraudulent votes.
II hope YOU will refuse any longer
to recognize majority thus composed
as having any title in law or morals TO
be called a Republican convention. We
have by fair means elected clear ma
jority Of the delegates, and hope that
you will not permit our opponents, hav-
ing failed by fair means to beat you
by foul means and swindle the people
out of the victory they have won"

creature transformed. Every house of
which Hattie bought did its duty like a
soldier and a gentleman. Nightly Hattie
powdered her neck and arms, performed
sacred rites over her hair and nails,
donned gown so complicated that a
hotel maid had to hook her up the
back. and was ready for her evenings
escort at eight. There wasn't a hat in
a grill room from one end of the Crooked
Cow-path to the other that was more
wildly barbaric than Hattie's, even in

Chicago, June 20.-The long
crash in the Republican ranks came last
night. The Roosevelt forces acting, they
said, under the personal direction of
the colonel himself, began to lay their
plans for independent action in the ma.
tional Republican convention.
As forerunner of the more drastic
action expected in the convention to-day

the Roosevelt contests which had been
scaled down from % to rs.
Colonel Roosevelt last night was in
the midst of series of exciting con-
ferences and was busy figuring on the
loyal delegates whom he could expect
to carry with him out of the conven-
tion or rather into the separate conven-
tion on the convention floor in event
the crisis is reached.
People who talked With the colonel
last night declared there was no longer
any doubt as to his attitude. Convinced
that the credentials committee was
against him and will retain the contest
ed Taft delegates in their seats, Colonel
Roosevelt decided to go no further with
his futile fight in the regular conven-
tion.
Senator Borah of Idaho, it was re.

The Missouri delegation in the con-
vention held a caucus last night for the
purpose, it was reported, of formally

in the convention yesterday, together
with the sudden turn in affairs, was said
to have strengthened their belief that
the time was ripe for bringing forward
a compromise candidate.
