The vote for governor was: Joseph A.

The nomination was made unanimous
The first ballot for candidate for lieu
tenant governor was: Total vote, 566; ;
Max Powell, 1873; Millard Barnes, 165;
Frank e. Howe. 1853. There being no
choice a second ballot was taken. Be-
fore the result of the second ballot had
been declared, Warner of Vergennes
..ctc5ted TIE vote because one or more
delegates who went out for dinner were
denied votes when they returned and a
third ballot was ordered The unofficial
figures for this ballot, however were:
NJ. F. Barnes, 22S; Frank E. Howe, PSI;
Max Powell, 2. Mr.. Powell had with
drawn his name, however. The third
ballot resulted as follows: Total votes
552; Barnes, 24S; Howe, 301 scattering,
8. And Mr.. Howe was declared the
nominee.
Chairman Fleetwood delivered an ad-
dress in which he spoke particularly OF
progressive legislation enacted in the
state in recent years. At the conclu-
sion of Mr.. F1eetwood's address, the
temporary organzat ation was made the
permanent organization.
Chairman L. b. Johnson read the plat
form and 1t was endorsed by the con-
vention.
The platform neither favors nor op-
poses a preferential primary for state
officers, but recommends some practi-
cal system that will express the will of
the people" The platform favors greater
publicity for campaign contributions, a
workingmen's compensation law, more
money for rural schools and the con-
servation of natural resources and op-
hn Of I'd
President Taft's name was loudly
cheered.
Hon. F. A. Howland of Montpelier
presented the name of Hon. Joseph A
DeBoer as candidate for governor, and
w. L. Haven of Chester presented the
name of Allen NJ. Fletcher.
Mr.. DeBoer's name was seconded by
John w. Gordon of Barre and Roger w.
Hulburd of Hyde Park, the latter say
ing: History will never record that Jo-
seph A. DeBoer ever bought or begged
the governorship of Vermont"
Mr.. F1etchers name was seconded by
Allen Martin of Essex and others, in
cluding H. G. Barber of Bratteboro
The following were nominated for
presidential electors: r. w. Hurlburd Of
Hyde Park. e. r. Morse of Proctor.
Leighton P. Slack of ST. Johnsbury, and
Walter Fl. Crockett of Montpelier.
The old Republican state committee
was reelected by acclamation Fl. G.
Barber is the member from Windham
county.
The opposition against f. II. Deavitt
of Montpelier for state treasurer was
surprisingly strong. He received 299
votes to 231 for Walter Scott of Bran
don.
The convention was uproarious and
mrthful and many Of the speakers were
jeered and jollied. DIR. Havens, who
presented Mr.. F1etcher's name, was a
good deal Of a joke. The finest speech
of the day was made by Roger Hurlburd
in seconding DeBoer. F. H. Babbitt of
Rockingham seconded Frank f. Howe for
lieutenant governor in an effective
speech.

The July Woman's Home Companion.

An interesting feature of the July
Woman's Home Companion is an article
entitled 1.-THE Fatal Penny by Mary
Heaton Worse, in which the author re-
ports many startling facts about the
dangers that children undergo who buy
cheap candy, cheap ice cream, and
other impure sweets sold to youngsters
for one cent.
In the same number appear the letters
descriptive of vacations which won priZ-
es in the Real Vacation" contest.
Other interesting contributions to the
July Companion are: The Spiritual Mes
sage of Nature" a sermon by DR. Charles
r. Jefferson of Broadway Tabernacle;
THE Friendly Summer Trees" by Frank

Allen NJ. Fletcher has been nominated
for the governorship by the Republican
party of Vermont That he is a man of
ability is conceded and he will unques-
tionably give the state a good business
administration. We are of the opinion,
however, that a man more deservh < of
political recognition and better fitted to
lead a hard fight in the year of a presi-
Dental campaign could have been found
1t is now particularly up to the men who
have pushed Mr.. F1etcher's candidacy to
take off their coats in what is likely to be
the liveliest gubernatoral campaign the
state has seen in years. The nomina tion
of Frank E. Howe as lieutenant govern
or will be received with satisfaction
wherever he is known. Windham county
in which he was reared, gave him prac-
tically a solid endorsement in the state
convention.

Piles Driven at Site of New Crosby
Grain EIevator-About 25 Men at Work
will Build SawmIl Soon.


Grain Eievator-About rs Men at Work
will Build sawmIl Soon.
force of about 25 men Is making
good progress on the basement and
foundation for e. Crosby & Co.'s grain
elevator and warehouse just north Of
the White River Chair company's fac
tory on Vernon street. The excavati ton
for the basement Is practically completed
and this week oak and chestnut piles
have been driven for the foundation of the
elevator The piles were driven about 20
feet, when they struck a hard substance,
either rock or gravel. They were driv ell
by a 27OO- pound weight. and on top of
each was fastened a 700 pound cap to
prevent it. from splitting. The piles Will
be sawed off a few feet below the sur
face of the ground and concrete piers
will be built upon them to support the
elevator The pile driving was done by
the Central Vermont Railway company.
The main building will be 204 feet long,
mill constructed, and will face Vernon
street. The elevator will constitute the
middle section and will be about 100
feet high, having a frontage of 56 feet
and a depth of AZ feet. The section south
of the elevator will be 100 feet long and
three stories high and will be used for
a storehouse. The north section will con-
tain the Office and will be adapted to
making poultry feeds requiring special
machinery. 1t will be the same height as
the south section, and all three sections
will be the same width, AZ feet. The
building will have an asbestos exterior
Running diagonally from the south end
OF the front part wing three stores
high will extend in a northwesterly di-
rection This wing will contain build
ing 120 feet long by AZ feet wide, which
will be used for storing sacked grain.
The irregular shaped section between
this building and the point where the
wing joins the front part also will be
used for storage purposes.
Beginning at the southeast conner d
Central Vermont spur track runs north
past the elevator and another runs
northwest past the wing. The former
track has a capacity of six freight cars
and the latter capacity of seven freight
crs. A shed will be provided for receIv-
ing baled hay from farmers for re-ship-
ment, and a cotton warehouse Is con-
templated.
The grain elevator will ha a capacity
of 10000 bushels. which is 1000 bushels
larger than the present elevator on
Bridge street. Three mills for grinding
corn, oats and other grain will be install
led, and 20 electric motors and various
automatic devices have been provided
for. A sawmill will be constructed on the
premises soon, to facilitate the work on
the buildings.

JURY FRAMES NEW
INDICTMENTS FOR
THE ALLEN CHIEFS
Relatives Cannot Be Held
for Aiding Outlaws in
Certain Case.

HILLSVILLE, Va, March 27.-All in
dictments against the Allen clan are
being redrawn and new ones brought
today. The special grand jury will
finish its work late this afternoon.
In his charge to the jury, Judge sta
pies brought out strongly the fact that
under the Virginia law near relatives
cannot be indicted for assisting the
fugitives II they knew nothing of the
tragedy before it took place.
There was talk Of bringing an indct-
ment against John S. Mosby, jr, OF
Washington, the son of the civil war
hero, who Is down here for a New York
newspaper. 1t is said he will join the
Aliens to get personal interviews with
the principals In the Carroll county
tragedy.
The Commonwealth OF Virginia will
not compromise with the Allen gang;
either the murderers will be taken alive
and brought before the bar Of justice
to answer for the Ave murders in Judge
Massle's courtroom, or they will be
taken dead.
This was made clear here today by
