BENNINGTON. VT. JAN. 4, 1912

The Rutland News is having a
busy time trying to name the Yer
mont delegation to the Republican
national convention to be held in
Chicago next June. Some weeks ago
The News took upon itself as divers
ion the task of suggesting the delega-
ton Of eight from this state. Several
of those whom the News has suggest
ed have publicly stated that they
could not or would not go If they
were elected Consequently The
News has been compelled to draft
new names to fill the gaps in its list
and its latest suggestion is Post
master Collins NJ. Graves of Benning-
ton. The Banner is authorized to
state that Mr.. Graves appreciates the
honor of the proposal, but that he is
not a candidate for the place for two
reasons One reason is that Mr.
Graves does not wish to embarass
other candidates from Bennington
county and the other reason is that
he is federal office holder and could
not go if he were elected.

Standard Press and the first issues

creditable including the best features
Of both. The consolidation is a
happy solution of the newspaper stu
alton in Troy, which has been compli-
Gated and the field crowded. The
death of Mr.. Tucker brought the
Press into the market and enabled
the elimination of one paper News
papers are supported mainly by their
advertising and advertisers are com.
ing more and more to recognize that
the more newspapers in field, the
more ii costs to reach the reading
public. Every live and successful
merchant or business man is regu-
lar advertiser. If he doesn't adver-
tise, he either fails completely or
merely drags along in rut. If there
are several newspapers in field
each of them has some readers that
the others do not have and an adver-
tiser must go into all the papers to
reach all the people in his field. Ma
turally the advertisers are particular
ly interested in newspaper chan yes,
especially in consultations. 1t is
evident that Troy with one morning
paper and three evening papers still
left is amply supplied Troy mer
