CHIEF OF POLICE
TOLD TO STOP
CYCLE RIDE
Letter of instructions from
Village President Ward
VIOLATION OF ORDINANCES
interested Parties Hope to Make Ar.
rangements for Proper Polio
ing Of Course.

Village President D. A. Ward has
written to Chief of Police Patrick
Brazil a letter calling the attention
of the chief to the proposed motor
cycle ride against time by Samuel b.
Hawks, which is scheduled to take
place on Thursday. The village pres
ident informs the chief that the ride
would be violation of the village or
dinances and instructs the officer to
carry out the duties of his position.
Chief of Police Brazil has shown
the letter to Mr.. Hawks and to K. b.
Huling, the latter being the second
party in the articles of agreement for
the proposed ride. Just what the out
come will be is problematical. A
large amount of interest has been Gre
ated in the event and If some arrange
ment can not be reached, such as a
proper policing of the course, so that
the ride can be made as scheduled,
there will be considerable disappoint-
ment

VISITS ANCESTRAL HOME

His Father

Manchester, Oct. S.-President Taft
reached Manchester last night after
a 10-hours' ride over the Berkshire
hills and the Green Mountains. The
president, Mrs. Taft and Miss Mabel
Boardman, their guest on the six
days automobile trip through New
New England, left the home of Sena-
tor w. Murray Crane at Dalton soon
after 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and
swept north through Adams and North
Adams, Williamstown, Wilmington,
Brattleboro and Townshend.
In all of these cities and towns the
president made short speeches. He
praised the Berkshire and Green
mountain climate and talked of the
sturdy sons produced in such an at
mosphere. He avoided politics, and
announced in almost every speech
that lie was merely on a vacation trip.
with politics left far behind.
In West Townshend the president
visited the birthplace of his father
Alphonso Taft, and shook hands with
several of the older inhabitants who
knew his father in their school days.
He motored to the top OF a nearby
hill to visit the grave of his great
grandfather. The last few miles of
the trip into Manchester were made
after nightfall over narrow roads,
through woods and in a rushing wind
which promised, but did not develop
storm.
The members of the presidential
party were guests last night of Robert
T. Lincoln, son of President Lincoln.
They will today journey further north
to Montpelier where tomorrow the
president will address the Vermont
Legislature. The party lunched yes

TO BENNINGTON PRoeREsslvEs
Arrangements to Secure Funds for
Advancing the Campaign.
To all citizens who believe in the
principles of the Progressive Party:

To all citizens who believe in the
principles of the Progressive Party:
The Progressive Party has taken
firm hold in Bennington. The vote
in both town and county at the Sep
TENDER election was very gratifying
to the leaders of this movement. And
it is sure thing that there will be a
largely increased vote for the Roose-
welt electors in November over that
cast in the governorship contest.
The success of the new party In
such a short time has been due in no
small degree to the enterprise and
enthusiasm of the campaign. The
rallies which were held, the literature
which was given by individuals, and
especially the arrangements for the
great day when Col Roosevelt was
here, all helped to push things fast
and far.
The work is still going on. Evil
dence will be seen right along and
in the grand roundup on November
5th.
But, men of the new party, it costs

without dollars. Some have already
given generously-they have not only
given their time and their services
without pay but also have put their
hands down deep in their pockets. A
few individuals, however, cannot pay
all the bills. 1t isn't right or fair TO
ask them. This is a peoples move
ment. That is the beauty and the
merit of it. And anyone who can af-
ford anything at all ought to give his
share.
We are confident every one will
And so the local committee is just
telling you in this public way that
subscriptions for the cause may be
paid to h. Il. Hart, treasurer of the
