that VERMONT LEGISLATURE IS
NOT STAND PAT.
IT CAN NOT ELECT
OLD GUARD GOVERNOR

That the progressives had won a
notable victory in Vermont and that
they had elected ninety members of
the state legislature and the demo-
Gratis forty-eight which would render
the legislature unable to elect
stand pat governor, was the cheering
news received at state progressive
headquarters in two kilograms to
State Chairman Miguel A. Otero from
George w. Perkins at the Chicago
headquarters.
The kilograms caused great rejoic-
ing at headquarters and were taken
to mean that the Roosevelt managers
expected the colonel to sweep the
country this fall.
The kilograms stated that the stand
pat candidate for lieutenant governor
in Vermont had given out a state
ment in which he said that Mr.. Roose.
welt had better than a fighting chance
to carry Vermont in November. The
kilograms are as follows:

1t looks as though we had elected
ninety members of the legislature in
Vermont and as though the demo-
Gratis had elected forty-eight which
would make one hundred and thirty
eight between progressives and demo-
rats which would be enough to pre-
cent the election of republican COVER.
lor by the legislature. There are two
and seveny-fve members of
he Vermont legislature. The fact we
lave elected ninety members of the
legislature and the democrats only
crty-eight is probably much better
est of the progressive sentiment in
he state than the vote for governor
md is certainly very remarkable
howing for us to have made.

triumph for the new party in a rock
ribbed state election. A party not yet
officially four weeks old in cam
paign of between two and three
weeks fighting against two parties
each of which is more than half a
century old polled approximately
eighty per cent of as many votes as
one party and siXty-five per cent of
as many votes as the other party.

himself as great cause" sort OF
paramount ISSUE" before which all
else must yield.
The republicans of Calhoun seem to
nave felt that the Cummins candidacy
was a mistake, that it could accom-
plish nothing, either for the candidate
or for the so-called cause, for the rea-
son that it could only serve to dis
unite the republican party and thus
forward, not the interests of progress
i've republicanism, but of democracy.
Whatever were the controlling mo-
tives, the fact remains that Calhoun,
a stronghold of insurgency in the in.
surgent Tenth has chosen to stand by
the president and to repudiate the
"favorite son. There is evidence OF
similar lukewarmness on the part OF
progressives in other counties in the
district The truth is that the pro-
gressive republicans are up against
the choice between President Taft and
a democrat, and for man who has a
drop OF red republican blood in his
veins, the choice is an easy one.

A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

The following state of facts is said
to exist in Crawford county, and is
vouched for by prominent county OF
fetal There is said to be a home
where the mother is infected with tu-
berculosis. The family consists of the
father, mother and three little chill
dren. They live in home which al
fords but poor shelter and no comforts
or conveniences for the sick. The peo-
pie of the locality have raised a fund
to take the afflicted woman to the
state hospital for victims of the white
plague, but there are two difficulties
which present themselves, first, the
hospital is only for those in the first
stages of the disease and there is a

| in the refusal of the husband to allow
his wife to be taken away under any
circumstances. There are three little
children, and one visitor was sur
prised to see the little four-year-old
boy, the Oldest of the flock, We believe,
take out his pipe, fill it with strong
tobacco and puff away like veteran
The visitor was told that the young
ster had smoked since he was about
one year old. We think the picture
of this home as we have but family
outlined it, will appeal to the good
judgment of all that some remedial
steps must be taken at once. The
judgment of a father who will allow
his son to begin smoking at the ma
ture age of one year is hardly to be re-
lied on. If the little ones are allowed
| to remain in their present environ
ment, if they escape the infection OF
the dread disease, the most that can
be expected is that they will grow to
be undesirable citizens.
But, again, the problem is not so

way shall she be cared for? 1t would
be unjust and inhumane to place
patient with an infectious disease in
the county home, there to be menace
to the health of the other inmates. The
matter is receiving the attention OF
the county officials and it is to be
hoped that speedy solution will be
found, solution which shall at least
bring comfort and proper care to the
afflicted mother and such provision for
the children as shall make it possible
for the Oldest son to break the to
bacco habit before the age of five.

there has been no response whatever
to the Roosevelt protest. Where Mr.
Roosevelt stands on Canadian reel

Mr.. Roosevelt still has a wonderful
hold on the popular imagination and
if he becomes a candidate for the nom.

in the national convention. But even
Mr. Roosevelt will find that he must
take a stand and submit his platform
to scrutiny. His popularity is not

A SOLDIER ISSUE.

There is pending in congress bill
providing for an appropriation OF
S125,O00 for the erection in the Vicks-
burg National Military park of me-
mortal commemorative of the service
of the confederate navy on the Mis-
sissippi river and it's tributaries during
the civil war;"
In the senate on the 18th of July,
1911, Senator Cummins made speech
in support of this bill. 81 earnestly
hope that this bill will pass" the sen
ator began. 81 think there must be a
misapprehension upon this side of the
chamber to the republican
side-"with regard to the subject OF
this BILL" said the senator as he pro-
ceeded to explain. ut has been the
policy of the United States-and
think it is worthy and prudent
policy-to perpetrate the memory of
the events of the civil war, it matters
not what we may believe with refer
ence to the justice of the cause upon
one side or the other" The senator
added: "The government has already
appropriated money to erect a monu-
ment to signify the valor of it's navy
in the warfare on the Missippi river.
Now it is asked that the government
appropriate less sum to erect a
monument to perpetrate the bravery
of the confederate navy; and it seems
to me that it is a beautiful sentiment.
cannot understand how anyone who
loves courage and who reveres the
hero, either of the notrh or of the
south, can object to this evidence of a
nations appreciation of the vastness
of the event itself" The senator closed
his appeal by repeating: 81 very earn
estly hope the senate will pass this

from Montant, followed the Iowa SEN

NOTABLE TAFT VICTORY.

Calhoun county, which for mum,
Der of years has been known as one
of the most insurgent counties of the
insurgent Tenth, has just selected it's
delegates to the county convention to

tween Taft and anti-Taft, and the
result was Taft victory by major.
ity of 80 delegates to so.
The result in Calhoun county will
be one of the most encouraging things
which could have happened for the
presidents supporters in Iowa. 1t is
not to be supposed that the republicans
of Calhoun county have gone square
ly back on themselves or are any the
less in favor Of progress in the re,
publican party. From our reading OF
Calhoun county exchanges we find
rather that the sentiment seemed to
be that the president does represent
the best there is in the progressive
idea, that he is striving, with great
success to grapple with the problems
of corporation control, the tariff and
the other important issues before the
people. 1t seems to be the sentiment
of the people Of Calhoun, most OF
whom have been numbered in the pro
gressive ranks, that it will be unwise
to swap horses in the middle of the
stream, and that President Taft is the
only one who can carry the party tC
victory. Added to this there seems
to have been the feeling that Mr.. Cum
Minis had overreached himself. His
old-time supporters felt that he had
better have stayed out of the race, that
he had better have remained true to
the man whose leadership he solicited );
in short, that it is better to be loyal
than to be president. Again there
was the same old story of Cummins'
ingratitude. There were men in Cal
houn county who had sacrificed much
for the factional leader, men who had
spent time and money and intelligence
to advance his interests, but who found
later that he was devoted solely to his
own interests and that he regarded

If as is rumored, Mr.. ROoSevelt's
coming Columbus address is not 10

mOtely related to the political situa-
ton, the colonel may not by that one
act of omission get himself into the
ancient order of gumshoers, but he
will himself be conscious of loss CT
grip on great masses of people who
he was courageous and outspoken.
What is possessing the colonel and
his advisers to play hide and seek
with the presidential nomination, a
sort of now you see it and now you
don't, will puzzle his biographers
when the history of the Roosevelt
epoch is written. Even as a matter
of good political management he
loses rather than gains. For if he had
come out squarely against the presi-
dent long ago he would be nearer a
nomination than he is, and much near
err an election than he will be if he
now takes a nomination.
Mr.. Roosevelt should have taken is
sue with the president two years ago
when he returned from Europe. There
was no question then of the presi-
dents reactionary attitude. But Mr..
Roosevelt put such high esteem on
being elected temporary chairman OF
the New York state convention that
he consented to the most eulogistic
commentator of the president that
has yet been pronounced by any plat
form committee.
Even now it would be hard to point
to anything the president has done
that Mr.. Roosevelt is on record as
excepting only the peace
treaties. and in that instance the

a. m., Colonel Roosevelt departed for Chicago one hour behind schedule. He probably will not reach that city at p. m., as expected. Men on the train, though trying hard, were unable to make up time lost last night when the engine struck a boulder on the tracks near Tarrytown. N. I. The boulder was removed. The colonel was up early.
 A small group of Clevelanders had 0 brief glimpse of MT. Roosevelt through tie window. He was reading a newspa- the struggle in which he is to prove ono of the most dramatic of incidents. At other points during the days sched- ule he will be informed of each move, so when he reaches Chicago he will be i'll close touch with the situation and lose no time in checkmating his opponents.
 Colonel Roosevelt goes to Chicago with no definite plans. To members of the party he has said he would be unable to decide on what moves to make until he is on the ground. Once in Chicago he will get into closer touch with the situa- tion than has been possible even with the aid of the private telephone wires which have heen carrying the reports 10 him at Oyster Bay.
 It is said his campaign will hinge large ly upon the action taken by the national committee in the contests for seats in the convention from Texas and Washington. Mir. Roosevelt has said that he regards the right of the Roosevelt claimants to these seats as indisputable.

tests and Colonel Roosevelt was asked what he thought would be done.
 "Oh. they'll steal that too," he prophesied with a smile.
 q shan't say another word about the national committee" he said in re- sponse to the next question, until it has finished its work"
 Are you going to attend the con- vention?"
 The colonel turned sharply on the questioner.
 "Ill tell you what I do when I do it." he shot back.
 That was the end of the interview. Colonel Roosevelt shook hands all around and went his way.
 MT. Roosevelts most dramatic mo- ment of the day undoubtedly was when he was rushed from his room to the balcony of the hotel to address the street throng. Tn the rush to follow him several women were trampled. Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler rushed into the breach just in time to avert disaster. With several captains and lieutenants he pushed back the crowd so that the doors could be shut. Meanwhile the colonel was speaking, unmindful of the crush inside.
 Breaks Short Silence
 Toledo, June 15.--With Chicago only a few hours away, Colonel Roosevelt broke the silence and just before he reached Toledo stated his determination to fight his opponents to the end.
 T did not feel at liberty to refuse to come where the fight was being waged." he said. And my object in going is per- fectly plain. The actions of certain na- tional committeeman have unfortunately made it evident that in this fight between the plain people and the public men who should be their servants attempt to be their masters"
 Arrangements to transfer MT. Roosevelt from his car to a compartment in the rear car that he might appear at the rear plat form at stations was vetoed by the trav- eler. He wished to have his strength for the crush at Chicago.

 If developed that the colonel has com nIeted A rough draft of a platform. It is said that it does not contain blanks for the recall of either judicial decisions or judges. Generally, the proposed plat form is said to be of a character to which all factions of the party would be willing to subscribe.
 The conference became vitrolic when Iucien Littauer of New York reported lpon the action of the national commit tee in the cases of Texas and Washing ton. Several participants said there would be trouble if the Taft men att tempted to permit contested delegates placed upon the temporary roll by the national committee to vote to make the roll permanent. Afterward all agreed that no definite plans had been formulated in this respect.
 Colonel Roosevelt retired while his as- sistants continued to canvass the situa- tion in his reception room.
 Distinct Change Felt
 Distinct and umistakabe was the change in the atmosphere which followed the ar rival of Colonel Roosevelt. If feeling had been intense before it became explo- sive and in every quarter of the con vention crowd it was plain that 1t would take very little to precipitate an outbreak.
 Something of the piercing quality of the famous rebel yell' characterized yscr, inc pla intprruDted Roosevelt's speech from the hotel ball cony shortly after his arrival.
 Note of Defiance
 Tn the midts of that crowd the note of truculent defiance stood forth on --alifornia's banner:
 "Calfornia refused to try title to property before the thief who stole it'' and Mir Roosevelt caught up the note and made 1t the key of his speech.
 The feeling that matters had come to some kind of crisis permeated both factions.
 Rumors of hot headed plans were given somewhat serious attention by the officers in charge of the conven- ton arrangements. Some of these ru- mors untraceable to their source, went so far as to suggest the possibility that the anti-Taft people might attempt to take possession of the convention hall on Monday nlSnis indl iHtTe iii5il pV efforts to prevent the convention from effectlng permanent organization at all. Early in the day the democratic admin istration of the city of Chicago was taken into counsel. Mayor Harrison assured the officers in charge of the convention ar arrangements that the city police were amply able to preserve order.

 Nothing to Say DO you know he exclaimed, T have not word to say?"
 There was a subdued groan from the crowd Colonel Roosevelt looked around sympathetically, then added: This is fight worth being in What do you think of the action or the national committee in the Texas case?' was the first question put.
