VERMONT IS FOR TAFT
President Will Have Good Major.
ity Of Delegates
Second District CIose-Extravaqan
Claims by Roosevelt Men-Some Inter-
estIng Brattleboro Rumors.

Although Roosevelt showed up to sur
prising degree in the Republican caucuses
throughout Vermont Saturday, Taft car
red the state at large and the first con-
gressional district without question. and
although the second district is close it is
probable that that district also will show
a Taft majority in the convention, the
most reliable returns giving him a lead of
2S over Roosevelt, not counting nine
doubtful delegates. In the state conven-
tion Taft will lead by $50 or more, ac-
cordng to the Republican state commit
tee. The probabilities are that Vermont
will send a solid delegation of eight to
the Chicago convention to vote for the
denomination of President Taft AT
least six of the eight, four from the state
at large, including Col J. Gray Estey of
Bratteboro, and two from the first dis
trict will be Taft men. The first district
convention will be held in Burlington
next Tuesday and the second district con-
vention in Montpelier the same day. The
state convention will take place the fol-
lowing day in Montpelier
Since the caucuses were held and il be-
came known that the second district was
close there has been much speculation in
Brattleboro as to what Judge +. w. Glib
son intends to do, Mr.. Gibson being the
leader of the Roosevelt forces here and
one of the prominent Roosevelt advocates
in the state. Newspapers in Boston,
SprlHeHelu ana Otner places nave pup
lished columns about the prospect in this
state and have stated that Judge Gibson
was a candidate for governor, and ii
has been asserted that If the Roosevelt
men won in the second district it was
their intention to endeavor to put Judge
Gibson in Congressman Frank Plumley's
seat in Washington.
Judge Gibson SCOTS at these rumors
and says he is not a candidate for any of
the offices mentioned and that they ought
not to be drawn into the fight for presi-
dent He Says he would go to Chicago if
elected a delegate. but that he is not
seeking place on the delegation, because
he does not want to conplicate the situa-
tion with reference to Col. Estey. In
regard to a rumor that Col. Roosevelt
would speak in Montpelier next week,
Judge Gibson says Col. Roosevelt's en-
gagements would not permit him to go
to Montpelier
From the most authoritative sources
the standing of the delegates in the va
rious counties is as follows;

velt's manager, concerning the Vermont
situation, also is somewhat amusing.
Senator Dixon started for Vermont Mon
day after visiting Col. Roosevelt at Sag
amore Hill, and before leaving he said;
We have won Vermont by fair means
and we do not propose to have the state
stolen from us nor have the tactics prac-
ticed there that were practiced in Indi-
ana and New York city. We are going
to see that there is no more political
burglary. The Roosevelt leaders in YER
mont report that they have carried the
state, but that the Taft people are des-
perate and will stop at nothing. 1t Is
about time that the American people
awoke to the despicable methods that
awoke to a realization of the despicable
methods that are being pursued to get
control of the national convention"
Replying to Senator Dixon's remarks
made before starting for Vermont
Chairman F. C. Williams of Newport
of the Republican state committee
mittee gave out a statement Tuesday
night which said, in part: The claim
that the delegates elected to the state
and first district conventions are a ma
jority for Col. Roosevelt is absolutely un-
true and If Senator Dixon does not know
that it is untrue then he has been poorly
informed for if the Roosevelt managers
in the state are not aware that a yery
state and first district conventions are for
President Taft, then they have been very
Negligent, for the use of the telephone a
few hours any time since last Saturday
evening, would convince any one of the
fact, except those who do not wish to be
convinced.
The delegates to the second district
convention are more nearly even. But
President Taft has also the lead in
pledged delegates in that district. Senator
Dixon and the Roosevelt managers in
Vermont insult the delegates elected to
vote for Roosevelt delegates when they
insinuate that they can be bought
know a large number of them personally
and / do not know one who would be
influenced by improper proposals to desert
the man whom they were pledged to sup
port, and | resent for all -Vermonters
such an insinuation."
Judge Gibson gave out last night a
reply to Chairman Williams's remarks
about Senator Dixon. He says Senator
Dixon did not offer insult to the dele
gates. That was discovered" he saws.
by the Taft men for the effect which
1t is hoped it will have. "If the ma
chine feels it is insulted," he says, 1T
can make the best of it, The sad pic
ture at this stage of the game, of the
machine shedding tears over the dele
gates is certainl ludicrous."
ABOUT 100 Roosevelt men met Senator
Joseph M Dixon, chairman of the ma
tional Roosevelt committee, in Bethel
Tuesday Judge Gibson being one Of
them The claims which he put forth
there as to the second convention were as
follows; Caledonia county, Roosevelt "a
delegates, Taft delegates; Essex, Roose-
welt 10, Taft I; Orange, Roosevelt "A, Taft

Vermont appears to stand sorely in need
of statutes like those by which Massacbu-
setts restricts the sale of habit forming
drugs. member of the state board of
pharmacy recently told the Rutland
Medical club that in that small city of
only 1856 inha bitants there are annually
consumed about 400, 900 morphine tablets
eighth, quarter and half grain-100
ounces of morphine in tablet form, and
50 900 tablets of heroin. The gentleman
who made this astounding estimate
should know what he is talking about,
since he himself is a Rutland apothecary.
Hardly one-tenth of the morphine, he
added, is used to fill prescriptions, and
to a certain extent that is encoura ging,
since ii lightens a reproach which, gen.
orally without warrant, is frequently
placed upon physicians. But it follows
that since the doctors are not at fault,
responsibility for these evil conditions
rests the more heavily upon all intelli
gent citizens.-[ Boston Transcript.
If strikes us that druggists might use
little discrimination in selling drugs.
There are some druggists of. the state
who will not sell morphine, laudanum,
etc. except on a physicians prescription.
Il this practice were generally followed
there would be no complaint against such

The savings bank life insurance plan
is working very satisfactorily in Massa-
chusetts, and after a trial of four years
is no longer regarded as an experiment.
There are three banks which conduct in
surance departments, two in Brockton
and one in Pittsfield, cities where a
large majority OF the people are wage
earners of moderate means. The three
banks now have 5063 policyholders car
rying s1,956,04S in policies. The scheme
was inaugurated with the intention to
give the small policyholder life insurance
at as near cost as possible. The policy
issued by any one bank to an indvid-
ual is limited to $500, and no person un-
der 10 years of age can be insured The
saving in cost to the policyholder, as
compared with the cost of industrial in
surance, ranges from II to 80 per cent
on a $3.50 policy, according to the state
actuary. The policyhoder draws divi-
dends every year, the first years divi-
dend being equal to one months pre-
MUM.
