Taft to withdraw succeeds in gaining
any volume. It is said these same men
in the interest of party harmony may
ask Colonel Roosevelt also to withdraw

pendent nomination and permit IA COM
promise selection of some man agreeable
10 both factions of the party. 1t Is the
desire Of the promoters of the scheme
that n decision shall be reached before
August 5, when the Roosevelt faction
plans to hold a convention in Chicago.
The circulation of petitions. 1t was de-
clared to-day, would start within a week,
the movement to begin spontaneously In
every State. Tho authors Of the plan ex-
pect to offer to every republican voter
n chance to express his opinion Of Mr..
Taft's candidacy, either hy signing the
petition or rejecting It. The movement
is in the hands OF several well-known
members of Congress. aided by many OF
the extreme Roosevelt republicans The
enlistment of the national progressive or
ganzation in the movement has been
sought and II was stated to-day that Sen
ator Dixon's organization was willing to
cooperate.
In the circulation of the anti-Taft petit
tons. effort Will be made to get them
signed by organization republicans ant
others who have stood with the President
as well as by citizens who have occupied
neutral ground. There Will be no speca
effort made to get progressive republi
can signatures as K is believed that tC
co,fine the petition to that faction would
encompass the defeat of the movement.
The sponsors Of the plan say one of Its
first results woul be to let Mr. Taft know
II there are any considerable number oi
regular republicans who believe he should
step aside in the interest of harmony.

VERMONT CROPS
IN NEED OF RAIN
Hay Never Better and Hot Wealth.

in Curing It.

Montpelier, July S.--1f the present hot
weather continues another week, crops
will begin to suffer severely. The hay
crop was never better and conditions have
been the best possible for Its cutting and
curing. but nearly every other crop will
suffer unless there IL rain.
Potatoes are thin and the potato bugs
were never more numerous or active.
Other crops are still holding their own
but will need rain within week or 10
days to prevent stunting or destroying
them.
County Game Warden j. A. Chaplin Of
Middlesex said to-day that the streams
In Middlesex and vicinity are drying up
fast and will soon reach the point where
the fish will begin to suffer from lack Of
running water.
He finds trout, particularly OF large

are to suffer from lack of water later
it is well that few are being caught.
