ROOSEVELT COMING
Probably VIII Address St. Johns
bury Voters in the Afternoon
of Wednesday, Aug. 2S.

The progressive move in St.
Johnsbury is showing signs of new
activity, the members of the third
party having organized a progressive
club, decide to nominate a candidate
for town representative and have
been assured by Charles H. Thomp-
son of Brattleboro, the state mana
ger OF the Roosevelt cause, that the
Big Bull Moose will address the
voters of st. Johnsbury while max,
ing his tour through Vermont. The
time of his speech here is not def
nitely fixed but it is hoped to get
him to come here by train from Bur-
hngton Wednesday forenoon, August
2S, and after his speech here whisk
him by automobile to Barre and
then allow him to go on according
to his original schedule. That
schedule is as follows: Speak in
Rutland the morning of August 27,
that afternoon at the Addison Coun-
ty fair in Middlebury and that eve
ming in Burlington; Thursday morn
ing in Barre, afternoon in White
River Junction and evening in Brat
tleboro.
Desert the Republicans
DR.. w. J. Aldrich, who is the coun-
ty representative of the progressive
organization has been sending letters
to the voters in all towns in this sec
tion urging them to nominate can
didates for town representative be-
cause they believe they will prevent
a popular choice for governor |
and they want enough progressive
men in the house to elect the pro-
gressive state ticket. Believing it
was not consistent for him to hold |
the position of republican town COM
and work against that |
party he has resigned as republican |
committeeman and has been follow
ed in the same course by e. P. Ham
ilton. So the only member Of the |
republican town committee elected |
this spring is J. M. Cady, who has
issued the call for the republican |
caucus.
A Progressive Club
The progressives met Saturday
evening and organized the Progress
sive Club of St. Johnsbury. There
were % men present and theyrelect-
ed the following officers President, |
DR.. w. J. Aldrich; vice presidents, |
secretary and treasurer, John Rick I
aby; advisory board. Robert L. |
French, R. G. Cheney and D. P. I
Celley.
They plan to hold a caucus Thurs
day evening to nominate a candi-
date for town representative. They /
would like to nominate DR.. w. J. |
Aldrich but he hesitates about ac-
cepting the position and Robert E. !
French and Henry Cheney are being
discussed as possible candidates.
The p~ogressives held a meeting
in Grand Army Hall last evening
which was addressed by DR.. J. H.
Blodgett of Bellows Falls.

WHERE MONEY went
Franklin to Be Asked to Tell What He
Did With 1t.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 3.-Various
sums of money received by Bert H.
Franklin, while engaged as a detec-
tive for the Mcnamara defense were
expected to be inquired into when the
trial of Clarence S. Darrow, the Chi
cago lawyer, accused of jury bribing
was resumed at 1870 o'clock this af-
ternoon after two day recess.
Chief Counsel Earl Rogers began
the cross examination of Franklin late
Friday afternoon and had questioned
the witness as to several amounts re-
ceived by him from Mcnamara de-
fense attorneys when adjournment
came.
1t was stated today that the sub
poenas for Job Hartman and Le-
compte Davis were issued at the re-
quest of the district attorney about
three weeks ago. Hartman had been
in Chicago for several weeks and
through a strange coincidence, he was
present in court for the first time Fri
day when Franklin brought his name
into his story of the alleged bribery
of George n. Lockwood. A few mo-
ments afterward he was served with
subpoena to appear as a witness for

IOWA VOTES TODAY.
state Wide Primaries in Progress in
the Hawkeye State.

Des Moines, June 3.-State wide pri-
maries are in progress in Iowa today,
in which Republican, Democrat and
other parties will choose nominees for
United States senator, congressman in
the eleven districts, governor and a
full set of state, county and township
officers. The polls opened at o'clock
in the cities and early reports indicat-
ed that a fair vote would be registered.
The senatorial contest overshadowed
all other contests in today'S voting.
Senator Kenyon, who is opposed by
former Senator Lafayette Young, edf-
tor of the Des Moines Capital, for the
Republican nomination, was prepared
to make a vigorous fight to retain his
seat in the senate while the DeS
Moines editor was confident he would
be returned to the position he held for
five months following the death OF the
late Senator Jonathan DOlliver.
The real battle-ground appears to be
Des Moines, and according to leaders
on both sides the result in POLK coun-
ty and Des Moines probably will de-
termine the result in the state at
large. Except in one or two districts
it was said there was little likelihood
of changes in the personnel of the
Iowa delegation in congress. The most
interest centers in the Sixth district,
where Congressman Nate Kendall is
opposed by H. B. Allfree OF Newton,
in the Fourth, where Congressman G.
n. Faughen IS opposed py state sen
ator Henry L. Adams, and in the
Eleventh where Congressman e. h.
Hubbard is opposed by George c.
Scott of Sioux City.
In the gubernatorial contest, there
was nothing to indicate early today,
the probable victor. All three Repub-
Ecan candidates, George W. Clark,
present lieutenant governor; Perry G..
Holden, formerly of Ames, agricultural
college and State Senator A. V. Proud
fit, of Indianola were confident of sue
cess and their managers made opti-
mistfc claims.
E. G. Dunn of Mason City and John
T. Hamilton of Cedar Rapids are the
Democratic candidates for governor.
