HASN'T PLEDGED
VERMONT TO TAFT
Although Governor Mead Expects That
the Delegates Will Be Solid for
the denomination Of the
President.

Rutland, March 2.-That Vermont will
be represented by a solid Taft delegation
at the coming national Republican con
vention is the confident expectation OF
Governor John A. Mead, as expressed in
an interview yesterday. That he had
given any pledge to that effect, however,
or that he feels himself in any position
to do so, was denied as plainly as words
could convey.
"Since my recent visit to Washing.
/ ton" Governor Mead said, sit has been
stated that while at luncheon with Pres.
ident Taft | pledged to him the vote
of the Vermont delegation As matter
| of fact, there was no conversation on
the subject between the president and
myself. On the day when | was his
guest at luncheon, | made formal call
of few minutes in the morning, as is
customary. At the luncheon there were
present several guests besides myself, all
of us strangers to each other, and while
Mr.. Taft was present there was no OPP
portunity for any conversation such as
might have led to discussion of Yer.
mont's attitude.
My conversation was almost wholly
with Mr.. Hllles, the president S secretary
and with Pnstmaster-G General Hitchcock.
Talking with Mr. Ililles, did go so far
as to express the opinion that the senti-
ment of Vermont Republicans is very
largely in favor of Mr.. Taft's renomina-
tion, and that the entire delegation of
the state in the national convention IL
likely to be composed of Taft men.
MY preference is for Taft, and going

90, it will be with firm conviction that
the best interests of the Republican
party and of the country in general will
be subserved by the denomination of our
present national executive. That he viii
be renominated and reelected is some
thing that | expect with confidence. At
any rate, it is my expectation that Yer
mont will do her share in the effort for
such an outcome OF the campaign.
expect this because, while it is by no
means certain who win compose the
state delegation TO the national Republi-
can convention, it is fact that every
man regarded as possible delegate-at
large or district delegate is strongly in
favor of Mr. Taft, so far as | am
advised.
AT the same time, unless good politi-
cal common sense fails to rule in the
state convention, the delegation will go

WELL DONE, DELTUN.

The town of Delton has bounded in
to prominence as a pioneer in goOO
roads building. At the recent election
the people of the town voted to bond
the baiiwick for $4,000 to improve
the public highways. The county
will contribute like sum by issuing
bonds for $4,000 and the state from
year to year VIII contribute its share,
the amount depending upon the sum
al hand for distribution to the coun-
ties. DeIton will have $4,000 to use
on good roads this year and this means
great advancement in road building.
Delton is the first town in the state to
issue bonds and no doubt the example
will be followed by other sections of
the commonwealth. The interest to
be paid on the bonds of the town and
county has been raised by private sub
scription so that there is on additional
burden besides the principal which
runs through term of ten years. The
roads to be improved are main travel
ed highways across the town between
KilbOurn, Delton and Baraboo, that is
the roads past the Kerfoot
place, the Marshall farm, towards
Reedsburg and Mansion.
The roads will be built at once and
the cost TO the tax payers will be $3.50
on each 81 900 valuation on town bonds
and six cents on each 81 900 of county
bonds. The vote on the proposition
was Ill for, and 81 against, showing
that it was a popular step to take.
Much credit is due to Judge r. D..
Marshall of Madison, w. S. Marshall
and others in the town who contrib.
uted time and money to bring the
campaign to successful issue and the
whole county, state and other states
will profit thereby. With macadam
roads between Baraboo and Kilbourn,
the summer visitors to the pretty re-
sorts in this vicinity will be one glad
proce ssion. 1t was a public spirited
move on the part of Delton and the in
creased property values along the way
will amply pay the residents for the
effort they have made.

lection and when officer Buckley ar
rived he called for help and soon Chief
of Police Pelton, the sheriff and other
officers appeared. The railroad tramps
were ready to arbitate and they were
advised by the chief of police that it
would not be healthy for them to get
