FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and Pub
BENNINGTON, VT, MAY ?, 1912

The result of the primary in Massa-
chusetts has the moral effect of ire
mendously strengthening the cause
of Col. Roosevelt and he now stands
fair show of getting the nomina-
ton. If Senator Crane at the head
of the Massachusetts machine, back
ed by every federal Office holder,
every Republican congressman, prac-
tically every Republican mayor and
over ninety per cent of the state and
local committeeman were unable to
carry Massachusetts, overwhelmingly
for Taft, it shows a popular weakness
in his cause that it is idle to deny
There will be more talk of Hughes
during the next few days.

NO CRIME TO HANG IN EFFleY
Justice Discharges Women Who HUI
INFLATED a NeIghbor.

Allentown, Pa, April 29.-Squire
John Brophy, who deals out justice
in Hanover township on the outskirts
of this city, today sustained the right
of women to hang .neighbor in eff
gy.
Following a quarrel in which a
number of families were arrayed
against Mrs. Mary Brown the latter
was theoretically hanged on a tree in
conspicuous place. The stuffed i'm
age created a sensation and was per-
mitted to hang nearly day before II
was cut down.
Mrs. Brown said the straw woman
did not bear the least resemblance
to her, but she wouldn't stand for
being lynched even by proxy, so she
had warrants issued for a dozen OF
her neighbors.
Following a lively hearing in which
the women nearly came to blows
Squire Brophy said he could not fine
anything in the statutes to prevent
ynchings in eifigy and not only dis
charged the defendants but put The
costs on the prosecutrix.

whitewash report of the grand
jury, and the cold shoulder given
the Federation by Judge Burke.
A petition for a special grand
Jury and a special prosecutor will
be made by the Federation to
some circuit or superior court
judge other than Burke.
The report of the grand jury is
the greatest farce that Chicago
ever knew,
1t heard certain amount of
evidence. One of the things the
people do not yet know is that
the first person to give the grand
jury any evidence at all was Ben
ME Hyman, the gambler.
Yet in its report today the
grand jury did not even take no
tice Of the facts that were pres
ented to it; far less touch upon
the secret testimony of Hyrnan.
It did not mention the assist

Waldron of the Committee of
Fifteen swore came to him and
asked him to ''lay off" any prose-
cution of Dago Frank Lewis and
Al Harris, the South Side dive

Waldron swore he knew had been

COLONEL REGRETTED
 SHORT STAY HERE

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 l feel that the people of Conway are entitled to know how much Col. Roosevelt regrettde his inability to tarry with you longer in Conway. The train was so late that he had for a while thought that he could merely step out to the platform and be intro duced to you, but when he saw what a magnificent crowd had gathered to greet him he was truly sorry that the train pulled out when it did. He was especially delighted with the pretty girls" and the manner in which they were lined up.
 Sincerely yours,
