That Guild Boom

Down in Massachusetts there has
started movement that has for its
purpose the making of Curtis Guild
the next Republican candidate for
governor of the state. AS a boom"
it is more substantial and has be-
hind it sounder reasons than is usu-
ally the case with booms launched
during the heated term.
1t is doubtful if there is in the Bay
State another Republican who could
equal Mr.. Guild in the measure of
his hold upon the confidence and sup
port of the citizens. His popularity
is confined to no section OF the state,
nor for that matter, are his support
ers to be found only within the Re-
publican ranks. His strength Is not
confined within party lines and it is
probably recognition of this fact that
is responsible for the present effort
to accomplish his nomination for the
governorship
Should he be made the party can
didate Republicans would go into the
campaign with a stronger hope of vic
tory than they have done for many a
year. and should the contest lie be
tween Guild and Foss the success of
the former would be little short of
certain.
The plan to make Mr.. Guild the
Republican nominee is therefore an
alluring one to those who wish to
see the party once more triumphant
in Massachusetts, but there well
may be doubt as to his willingness to
accept. He has had all honors of the
Office so that consideration would
have no influence with him, but If he
did consent to enter the campaign 1t
would be solely because of convic
ton it was his duty to his state and
to his party to do so. Montpelier

given the boys and men who desire
the use of their property and the
water therein if proper system of
policing the grounds may be work

selves will make It impossible for
any fellows to abuse the privilege
when once it is restored for the
public use. While everyone who
knows the surrounding country
knows that it is a long way to as
good swimming place as is here
located, many know that the privi-
lege heretofore granted has been
abused until it had to be forbidden.
To bring this matter to head
and see if dozen fellows would be
willing to shoulder this matter for
a few weeks until the boys of the
locality understand that they must
respect the privilege of others, a
meeting IS suggested to be held at
the Y. III. G.. A. at 715 o'clock to
night cnl1aS a later time would be
pref -ah!c to those who are interest
ed
The Y NJ c. A. plans and desires
no authority at all IN this matter,
but is only DESTROYS of securing for
a large number of Interested boys
and men the chance to enjoy good
swim without trespassing and with
out any improper actions on the
part of others who care not for the
privilege. Prompt action on the
part of all who desire to take ad-
vantage of this matter will make
this place available Immediately for
the entire community of boys and
men.

 Necessary.

Mexico City, Mex, Aug. 4.-- Provisional President Huerta has announced that the Mexican gov ernment will not tolerate foreign interference in the domestic dis orders now existing in the coun- try but that the government wlll put down all rebellion shortly.
 ''The Mexican people will fight as a unit against foreign aggres- sion and all factions will forget their quarrels and fight any in- vader,' says Huerat.
 Opponents of the present head of the republic assert that he is talking about foreign inter- ference in a hope of forcing the MeXicans to flock to his banner by an nti-foreign demonstration, but that it will be unsuccess full and that the present head of Mex ico will soon be fleeing to exile.

 It was officially announced few days ago that Huerta had re- called Diaz and ordered him to return to Mexico, but the nephew of former President DiaZ prefer red to continue his juu1ney in spite of the announcement of Inc Japanese government that they did not know why he should come to Japan, which, evidently. is the official manner of informing him and his government that he is not a welcome visitor and may not be received.
 Gen. DiaZ announced here to- day that he was not on mission to try to sell Magdelena bay to Japan for T coaling station and that the present government had ln such intention, but that they 'in welcome the Japanese in M":- icu and are glad to have them core and settle in the land.

It is believed that this automobile run will help greatly in getting road ap- propriatiOnS hereafter. It will also advertise Alaska among those numerous folks who think the territory is all snow and ice.
 SheIdon's car is light one but seems to be ideal for the job it accomplished. 1t certainly has both power and speed. A wash out of a culvert on the road in- side the town limits stopped the car Saturday night.
