 The beginning of his association with a leading railroad official Is told succintly:

TOMORROW NIGHTS CAUCUS.

When the Republican voters of Brat
tleboro-farmers, workingmen and all
others-go into the caucus tomorrow
night, which will be their only oppor-
tunity to express their preference as
between President William H. Taft and
Theodore Roosevelt, they should remem-
ber one important fact, that Col. j. Gray
Estey of this town is a candidate for
election in the state convention as a
delegate at large to the convention in
Chicago, where the final choice will be
made, and should consider what that
means Col. Estey is uncompromsngly
for Taft He will not go to Chicago ex-
cept with the distinct understanding
that he shall vote for Taft. 1t is for
the interest of every Republican voter
in Brattleboro to support Col Estey, and
for this reason, among others: Col.
Estey represents the largest manufac-
turing industry in Brattleboro and one
of the largest in the state. The manu-
facturers throughout the country want
President Taft reelected. 1t has been
asserted by some of Mr. Roosevelt's
supporters that President Taft could not
be re- elected If nominated and that the
result WOulu De DemOcratlc preSluent
and panic. This is a campaign bogie,
pure and simple, and should frighten no
one.
Another thing, which the farmers es-
pecially should consider: 1t is being ar
gued that President Taft's policy of reci-
procty with Canada would have been
detrimental to the farmers had it sue
ceeded There is an honest difference of
opinion on that point, but be that as it
may, the fact remains that no one more
heartily commended the Canadian reci-
procity policy than did Theodore Roose-
velt Some extracts from his public
speeches on the subject are given on
another page in this paper.
Clearly, it is the duty of every voter,
in the interest of himself and in the
interest of Brattleboro, to support the
ticket which will support Col Estey.

night will be set aside each week for

a good state in which to spend a vaca-

Brattleboro for that purpose.

WILL BRIDGE THE CONNECTICUT RIVER
Boston Maine Now Plans to Build New Hampshire Side and
to Cross Below Brattteboro Village

An interesting fact in connection with
the proposed railroad development in

morning from the Offices of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
In Boston 1t is that, while the
plans are only tentative, the proposed
double track of the Boston e. Maine
railroad will run through the Brattle-
boro yard to point south of here and
will then cross the river and go down on
the New Hampshire side to UinsJale
where the Ashuelot branch of the Ros.
ton e. Maine crosses the river. This ha q
not been decided upon definitely. hut
that plan will be carried out unless II
develops that it would be for the ad-
vantage of the road to build through
Vernon, which does not seem proba BILE.
The report of an agreement between
the Boston & Maine and General Ver-
mont roads elative to the situation in
Bratteboro, whereby the Boston &
Maine will build through the present
Central Vermont yard and whereby a
union station will be built here is con-
firmed, but is was stated this morning
that the agreement had not been signed
by the two companies. The work of ac-
quiring land on the west side of the
present tracks has been continued this

Col. Roosevelt's aspirations for third
term in the presidency were given So
lar plexus blow in the New York state
primaries this week. The vote in the
coloners own state was generally in the
ratio of to l against him, and as a
result President Taft will be supported
by SO out of the 80 delegates from New
York. The. new primaries system was
operated with great confusion. The
printed ballots in some districts were IA
feet long. Indiana, where ex-senator
Beveridge has been making big fight
for Roosevelt, has elected IS delegates
for Taft and u for the Colonel. The
delegates-at-la large are for Taft, but the
Roosevelt supporters held separate
convention and elected contesting dele
gates. The Roosevelt forces were beat
en- 2 to in the contest for the control
of the state convention in Colorado,
Taft has secured additional delegates this
week in Iowa and Michigan The roll
at the present time shows about 800
delegates for Taft and about So for

Frank l.. Greene of ST. Adams pos
sesses all the requisite qualifications for
maintaining the high standards which
have characterized the services of repre-
sentatives from the First Congressional
district of Vermont in Congress for
years. No man of his years has ap-
preached him in the extent or value of
the services which he has already rem
dered his state AS an editorial writer,
as speaker on the public platform in
dozens of towns, and in great variety
of ways he has labored to solve state
problems and to put Vermont toward the
front of the progressive commonwealths
of the nation, In his personal presence,
in his mental equipment, in his knowl-
edge of the needs of the state. as a
keen student of public affairs generally,
as an untiring worker and a depend
ale man in every situation, he is ideally
fitted for the duties of a representative
in Congress.
