cause 1--WE are going to win, any
way" he said.
Only once did Col. Roosevelt switch
from national issues to state matter,
and then he urged a conserving of the
water powers. He said the voters should
see that private capital did not get con-
troll of the water powers, but that the
title should remain with the state, and
that those who developed the powers
should pay an annual rental, because the
privileges some day might become i'm
mensely valuable. The fact is that the
state has no control of the water power
privileges. They are already owned by
individuals just as the farms and build
ings and other property are privately
owned, and the only way the state can
own them is to buy them and pay for
them.
Answering the charge that he was
dictatorlal as President he told a story
of how he secured beans for his troops
in Cuba as a means of illustrating his
method in taking the Panama canal
instead of making a mastery report and
then waiting for an academic discussion
upon 1t. Numerous references were
made to his experiences as governor of
New York and as President. After
speaking briefly on the steal" of the
Chicago convention he closed as fol-
lows:
my message to the people of YER
mont is, If you want to support me,
vote the Progressive state ticket next
Tuesday. Failure to do so will play in
to the hands of the Archbolds and the
Penroses.
Il feel certain that we shall get a
large vote for our electors next Novem-
Der People told me 80 everywhere
went Hundreds of old Republicans
came to me and said that they propose
to vote for our electors in November,
but want to remain regular and will
vote the Republican state ticket next
Tuesday.
81 have told them and / want to say
to everybody that this will give aid and
comfort to our opponents. Nobody will
know how they will vote next Novem-
Der, but every foe of the Progressive
party will know how they vote next
| Tuesday.
"a small vote for the Progressive
state ticket will be heralded next Tues
day night all over the country with glee
by our opponents. A big vote for the
Progressive state ticket will put heart
and courage into the Progressives every
| where and cause further CONSERVATION
| in the ranks of the stand patters
Therefore, I hope every friend of mine
| in Vermont will vote the Progressive
| state ticket Tuesday"
The crowd interrupted some of his
| points with applause, and twice wher
he stopped until the whistle of a loco
motive subsidized he caught the crowd
with his reference to the whistle as the
| call of the Bull Moose.
Col Roosevelt was dramatic in his
use of gestures, and in closing he threw
up both hands and shouted Good night
and good luck" and the crowd gave
him a parting cheer and dispersed
| toward Main street, the time then beins
| about $50.

BRATTLEBORO- LOCAL
RAIN SPOILED LABOR DAY PLANS
Outdoor Sports Had to Be Given UP, but
Moving Picture Theatre Was Crowded
Throughout the Day.

The last outdoor holiday of the year,
Labor day, was spoiled for pleasure by
rain. From morning to night the sun
persstently refused to appear from be-
hind the clouds and during the greater
part of the day, except for two hours
in the afternoon, rain was falling. The
management of Island park had planned
for day of sports and thousands of
people were disappointed in not being
able to go outside and enjoy themselves.
At o'clock the rain ceased and the tele-
phone at the park was kept busy while
the girl behind the counter answered
queries as to whether the Northampton
Brattleboro game would be played. At
the same time the Northampton team
was in the Meadow city, having decided
that it was too rainy to play. The last
train that will get here in time for
game leaves there about 1890 o'clock
Many persons came downtown to go to
the game and Main and Elliot streets
were lined with men and youths trying
to decide what to do to kill time"
The Empire theatre on Elliot street
was packed to the doors the minute 1t
opened and all the afternoon 1t was
filed to its capacity. In the evening
fairly good-szed crowd went to the
movies" at the park and many stayed
to watch the wrestling match between
Olson and Columbus which was contest
ed i'm a heavy downpour of rain. The
two and half days of rest from Sat-
urday noon to Tuesday morning was
spoiled by the rain which began to fall
early Sunday morning, although Satur-
day was a fine day.
Railroad men look forward to Labor
day as the busiest day of the year and
their work was made doubly hard this
| year as the annual fit homeward of
summer guests was taking place and
| the trunks and baggage were rain soak
| ed. The travellers were wet and disgrun-
tied and the railroad men themselves
were out Of sorts.
