The Other Months To Dodge Merely
Seems Though Man Dodges The Come Back Sore

Over 125 applications on regular
forms have already been fled, nearly
all of whom should have received this
aid if the appropriation had been SUI
ficient. Applications continue to
come in and inquiries for blanks are
received every few days.
The appropriation must be increas
ed to at least $4,000 year to accom-
plish what was evidently contemplate
ed.
The Board of Trustees of The Yer
mont Soldiers Home is composed OF
eighteen members who reside in all
parts of the State. 1t was evident at
once that the entire board could meet
and pass upon these applications
without entailing a great expense up
on them. Therefore as President OF
the Board | called a special meeting
at Rutland in February, 1911, to see
what could be done to relieve the sit.
uation. At that meeting uniform
blank for applications was adopted
and ii was voted that "The president
and such two other trustees as he
should select be made committee to
matter" l selected Hon. Cassius
Peck of Burlington, and Gen. Levi.
G. Kingsley of Rutland, as the other
two members of the committee with
view that we could hold periodical
meetings at Rutland; but as the ex-
penses of such meetings would come
from our own pocket we concluded TO
do the work by correspondence. 1t
was evident that the appropriation
would not "go around" and we de-
decided to grant applications very
slowly; and only to such cases as
seemed to us specially needy, for fear
we might exhaust the fund and later
be confronted with cases that need
ed xid sorely, and for several quart
ers denied most of the applications,
and at the close of the quarter turn
ed back into the State treasury con-
siderable of q balance. Had the APP
preparation been adequate we should
have used it all.
A very large per cent of the Veter-
ans in the State conceived the idea
that Vermont had voted five dollars
a month to all Veterans" and my desk
was covered with demands to send
me the FIVE dollars a month the
State voted me-" nor have such de-
mands yet ceased to come. In addit-
ion ! have received letters from
Maine. New Hampshire, Massachus-
etts, and Connecticut, asking for the
five dollars Vermont voted to all
who served in her regiments; also
from widows inside and outside of
the State, asing for the five dollars
voted them" Not one, veteran, wi
dow, mayor or selectman, seems to
have spent time to read the Act.
have written each and all of these
long letters explaining the law. My
correspondence in this matter has
been voluminous and burdensome.
1t is too much of strain on a
mans patriotism to perform all the
work performed in this matter the
past two years without rewarding him
by some pecuniary compensation and
trust you will so amend the Act as
to secure for the next man that takes
the burden some pecuniary recogni-
ton.
In very few cases we have grant
ed $40 month; this, of course, has
lessened the number Of s. men.
Six Veterans to whom we were
paying have deceased and their
places on the roll been taken by 9TH
ers.

BIG VOTE IS BEING
CAST ALL OVER
COUNTRY
Vermont Is Possible Exception
to the Rule
VOTE is LIGHT ERE
Aat 2.30 This Afternoon Less Than
1400 Votes Had Been Cast in
Bennington.

Reports from all over the country
indicate a big vote everywhere except
perhaps in Vermont. In this state the
fact that the state and county cleo
tons were held in September con-
fines the November contest TO the
national issue and usually fesults in
light vote.
This is indicated by the vote in
Bennington. Up to 2.30 this after
noon the total vote cast in Benning-
ton was trifie less than 400 while
the September vote was nearly 100.
If this proportion holds throughout
the state the total vote will be about
$4,000 and the candidates who get
$4,000 or more will win.
The fine weather will help some
in the farming towns. But little eff
fort is being made to get out the
vote though the Democrats and Pro-
gressives are doing more than the Re
publcans.

New York, Nov. 5.-Every indica-
tion points TO an exceptionally large
vote in New York State. The wealth
er could not be more favorable and
the rapidity with which the voters re-
ported at the polls during the fore
noon was something unusual even in
a presidential election. Reports
from Massachusetts and Pennsylvan-
ia and other states showed that a
similar condition existed throughout
the east. There has been little dis
order.
Chairman Combs of the democratic
committee gave out number OF
kilograms this morning from the mid
die west indicating an unusually
large democratic vote The republi-
can leaders laughed at his statements
and said that many of the kilograms
must have been filed before the polls
were open.
