Thomas H. Brown, the Democratic
national committeeman for Vermont,
still thinks that Mayor Gaynor has a
fair chance of being nominated at
the Baltimore convention, so he tells
New York interviewer, AS to YER
mont's choice, he has not been able
to find capitalization of sentiment for
any one Democratic candidate; no
one seems to have lead over the
other.
The Vermont delegation will
doubtless go to the national conven-
ton uninstructed, in accordance with
the uaual policy of the party here.
Committeeman Brown would like to
see yermont's votes go to Governor
Foss, and he, talks very much as
though they would be at his disposal
II he wanted them.

Woodstock, VT. April 8. 1912

THE Greater Vermont Associa-
ton - starts off with enthusiasm and
earnestness, and all parts of the
state were represented at the meet
ing held at Montpelier last week:
There was much business-like talk
from the sixty or more delegates and
on the whole it was promising and
concerted effort to boom the Green
Mountain state.
Secretary of State Bailey spoke
of the publicity work done by his
department., which demonstrates very
plainly the prodtand importance of
wide advertising in a campaign Of
development. 1t is vermont's loss
that it has been SO long neglected.

Dixon Claims Vermont for
Roosevelt.

Senator Dixon, Colonel Roosevelt's
campaign manager, comes to YER
mont with ferocious flourish Of
guns and much accusing speech. He
says IS
I'VE have won Vermont by fair
means and we do not propose to have
the state stolen from us nor have the
tactics practiced there that were
practiced in Indiana and New York
city"
Senator Dixon is after the boodlers
and ballot box suffers in these parts
andshe is going to see that there is
no more political burglary. The
Taft folks are desperate, he says,
and will stop at nothing.
Considering the claims of the Taft
folks that they had the, state nailed
down for their candidate, Manager
Dixon ought to be satisfied with q
share of the delegates, and incident
ally giving the enemy the surprise
and scare of their lives. II the Taft
folks have really won. it is. fair to
suppose it is by sheer force of num-
berB. The states time-honored regu-
larity is q hard thing to upset.

What Makes a Savings
BankSafe I?

The man or woman who thinks Of
making deposit of his or her little
savings, oftentimes his or her all,
naturally does some hard thinking
with reference to the matter Of safety.
There are great many financial
institutions which parade at the head
Of their announcements a long list
of distinguished names, names which
are an ornament, and names Of men
whose association with any Savings
Bank ought to make a bank worthy
of Condolences.
Depositors should not be deceived
by these names, The names Of
General So-and-So and Hon. So
and-So and Col. So-and-So do not
add to the safety OF the bank, If they
belong To that class of directors who
do not direct. ...Ss ~
In this connection the. Hyde Park
Savings Bank has a word to say. 1t
is a matter, Of common knowledge
that the managers OF this bank have
given to its investments much. cal e;-i
full consideration and scrutiay that
IN its more, than twenty-three years
Of existence It has newer lost a.
dollar by ii poor note IA 'fecotd.per.
haps unparalleled i'm the history iof
banks. NOT only. do its. managers
scrutinize with painstaking care
every detail connected with its
Investments, but l,the aresults show
that those Investments ARE made
conservatiyely and with ardetermina-
zion that safety rather than high rates

principle of the Bank. ~ -rsts N.

In an interview. at Bethel Thurs
day, Wallace Batchelder, one of the
three members Of the New England
Roosevelt committee, and chairman
of the Vermont Roosevelt committee.
made statement regarding the visit
of Senator Dixon. and party to Yer
mont. 1t was the Senator's request
that such Roosevelt supporters as
could be reached in time be asked
TO conference in Bethel to meet the
Senator and other men, and this was
held as arranged. '''s-
sit developed thatthe only purpose
of Senator Dixon and his companions
in coming to Vermont was to make
plain to Roosevelt supporters that
they are the militia against the reg
ulars and to give such suggestions
as they could tosthe Vermont Roose-
welt committee TO assist in preventing
the machine from snatching the
victory from Roosevelt supporters at
the state and district conversions
next week, by the continued giving
out by the Taft maohinesof claims
that are wholly untrue, that Taft has
carried the state and, thereby hoping
to influence uninstructed delegates

Taft majority in estate convention
will be 100, he declares, with q Taft
margin in the district conventions,
although it is admitted that on the
east side this margin will be small.
The returns show that the Taft
strength is much more pronounced
on the west side of the state than in

The notable exception in the sec

Owing to the large number of UNI

GAS CAUSED DEATH OF THREE.
Not Triple Murder, as Suspected,
Officials Decide.

Nowata, Okla, Feb. 5.-Harvey
Hurst, his wife, and Elsie Adams, 16
years old, who lived with them, whose
bodies were found in the ruins of the
Hurst home, at Delaware, a small
town near here, Saturday night, were
not murdered, according to Nowata
county officials, but were the victims
of accidental asphyxiation.
The presence of a small wound in
Mrs. Hursts head indicated that all
three might have been killed and the
house fired in an attempt to cover the
crime. This evening county officials,
who viewed the bodies and the prem
ises, concluded that flames from an
overturned gas stove had overcome
the family and that escaping gas had
subsequently been ignited by a lamp
and had partially destroyed the
dwelling. Officials say the wound in
Mrs. Hurst's head was caused by a
fall.

CHARLESTON-NORFOLK RATES
Government Alleges Excessive
Charges by Coast Line Road.

Washington, Feb. "a petition
was filed by the United States to-
day, with the Interstate commerce
commission, against the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company, COM
planning that the through passenger
rate between Norfolk, Va, and Char
lesion, S. c., of $10.55, is excessive
and unreasonable on the ground that
it is more than the sum of the local
rates. The same complaint alleges
that the corresponding rate between
Norfolk and Savannah, Ca, of
s13.45, is similarly excessive.
The government intervenes be-
cause of instances in which men trav-
cling for the navy department were
subjected to the alleged overcharge.
The petitioner asks the commission
to order the establishment of a
through one way rate of not more
than 1910 between Norfolk and
Charleston, and not more than
$3.50 between Norfolk and Sa-
vannah, these sums being declared
to be the aggregate of the local rates
now in effect between the cities
