CONVENTION NOTES.
One Of the not able features Of thcconven-
ton was the large delegation OF Greene
Boosters" who came down from Franklin
to rouse enthusiasm for Frank l.. Greene
Of st. Adams for congressman from the
first district to succeed the late d. j.
Foster. Green ribbons were much In
evidence and there was such n large
delegation from Franklin county that the
Rutland county delegates were crowded
off their seats and the latter gentlemen
complained to tho chairman that they
| could not find n place to sit
An Informal meeting of a considerable
| number of delegates 10 the convention
from Franklin and Chittenden counties
was held at the headquarters OF Warren
r. Austin at the Hotel Vermont. Speeches
were made and many assurances OF cordial
and earnest support OF Mr.. Austin's candi-
! dacy for Congress were given.
| There was very little oratorical enor'
put forth IN tho convention and nc
speeches we're made. Business-like
methods married the proceedings and
except for the slight contest over dele
gates the convention was perfectly har
monious.
A curious bit OF alleged poetry was
distributed by the Roosevelt men prio
to the opening Of the convention an'
there was considerable speculation as t.

SUNSET WINGS.

Tonight this sunset spreads two
golden wings,
Cleaving the western sky:
Winged, too, with wind it is, and
winnowings
OF birds, az if the days last hour
in rings
OF strenuous fight must die.
Sun stepped in fire, the homeward
pinions sway
Above the dovecote's tops;
And clouds of startlings, ere they
rest with day,
Sink clamorous like mill waters, at
wild play,
BY turns in every copse.
Each tree, heart deep the wrang-
ling rout receives
Save for the whirr within,
You could not tell the startlings
from the leaves;
Then one great puff Of wings and
the swarm heaves
Away with all its din.

Richmond clubwomen returning
from the biennial at San Francisco
bring glowing accounts of the great
convention and of the hospitality ex-
tended by the club women Of the
coast Indiana was represented by an
enthusiastic delegation of thirty-three
of it's most active club workers, and
the delegation made itself felt. Each
member was distinguished by an 1ndi-
ana badge which brought greetings
from many other visitors.
The presentation by Indiana Of the
name of Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke as a
candidate for the directorate brought
a remarkable demonstration. The dele
cation was unanimous and stood sol
idly behind it's candidate with the re-
suit that Mrs. Clarke, heretofore prac-
tically unknown in national work. ac-
cording to one of the officers of the ell
ection, received 200 more votes than
any other candidate. This was consid
cred noteworthy by the convention,
and Mrs. Clarke was enthusiastically
received when she arose to speak af
ter her election was announced, in re
Spouse to a call from the convention
floor that would not be denied. 1t was
said that Mrs. Clarke made a better
impression than any other of the new
ly elected directors.
The Indiana clubwomen, as a dele
cation, received many courtesies en-
route and during their stay on the
coast. At the close of the convention
the group separated for various sight
seeing xpeditions.-Indianap Star
