SENATOR J. N. CAMDEN
Who Will Be Nominated For the Short Term Senatorshp BY
Tremendous Majority is One Of the Most Extensive
Farmers in Kentucky, and One Of the AbIest
Men in Public Life.
He is at Washington vaiany Aiding the Administration in Putting
Through Anti Trust Legislation Leaving His Campaign
to Be Conducted BY Every Loyal Democrat.

For the first time in more than a
generation Kentucky now has prac
tical, every day farmer as one of its
repre- sentatives in the United States
Senate. AT the same time he is one OF
the most elegant, brilliantly educated
and able men in the State. Senator
Camden, of Vers lilies, Woodford coun-
ty, Kentucky, is now filling the unex-
pired term of the late Senator Bradley,
by appointment of the Governor. but,
uncer the law, his appointment only
exte nds to the November election,
although there Is but two and half
months of the unexpired term left after
the election.
Upon the death of Senator Bradley

the duty of appointing his successor de
volved upon the Governor. The ap
pointment of J. N. Camden to that ex-
allied position was inevitable because,
not only in recognition of the splendid
ability he possessed for the position,
but no Democrat in the State surpassed
him in party loyalty. and none probably
equaled the incalculable services rem
dered the Democratic party in the cam
{, paign of 1910. Senator Camden laid
aside his tremendous private affairs
and gave his personal attention and
more money to the campaign fund than
any single individual in Kentucky in
the battle to regain Democratic control
of the State in 1910. He was the Chair
man of the State Democratic Campaign
Committee which conducted the fight,
and Kentucky rewarded his immeas.
urable services to the party by return
ing the handsome majority of 81 900 for
the Democracy. Hence, 1t was that
his appointment to the vacancy in the
United States Senate was forthwith
made. The Democracy of the State
can not repay him. Yet, we are amazed
that two Democrats are opposing him
+, for the nomination as the Democratic
candidate for the remainder of the short
term, which is only two and one. half
months after the November election.
On what theory can any thinking
Democrat cast his vote against Senator
Camden1 1t can not be said that in
point of transcendent ability either
Col. Young or d. H. Smith are his
|superiors. 1t can not be said that
either of those gentlemen in point of
moral worth or fitness for the eminent
POSITION surpass him. For the sake of
Srgument place them on the same
Name in those particulars, then any
onest, grateful, thinking Democrat
ould and must choose him because of
Ae eminent party service rendered by
Ip In the memorable campaign of

NJ pretend to possess such claims

>red as has Senator Camden. All
goe are high-toned, elegant gentle-
IN. but when 1t comes to scrutinizing
-. with the view of arriving at the
1oAl choice of the Democracy, every
Narration leads TO the election of
1otor Camden.

LIEUT. MAIeNE ARRESTED
Correspondent Held in Vera Cruz for
Violating Regulations

Washington, May 11.-First Lieut..
Charels Maigne. U. S. A., retired,
who went on the Moro Castle as
war correspondent, has been placed
under arrest in Vera Cruz by order
of Gen. Funston for violating the
regulations prohibiting Offices from
publishing military news without the
consent of the Secretary of War and
of a majority of the correspondents
attached to the command in question.
Leaving Vera Cruz without permits
sion from the military authorities,
he penetrated the Federal lines and
went to Cordoba on a returning
refugee train. and thence to the head
quarters of Gen. Mass at Soledad.
Lieut. Maigne was treated with
what he called surprising courtesy"
and interviewed Gov. Mass in re-
gard to the present situation and the
possible solution of Mexicos politi-
cal problems.
He went to Mexico as a correspon-
dent under the auspices of the navy.
After his departure from the United
States the army regulations in re-
gard to war correspondents were pro-
mulgated, and when Admiral Flet-
cher turned over the government of
Vera Cruz to Gen. Funston these reg
ulations went into effect there. Lieut.
Maigne possibly was not informed OF
the fact, but this would not excuse
him for going beyond American
lines or entering those of Cen

Alleged Theft Gave Local 0tilc-
ers the Slip
WAS AT HOGAH's LIVERY
Saw Officers on the Way to
Identity Stolen Property and
Disappeared

An alleged horsethief made a clean
getaway" here Monday evening but
he left the horse which he is charged
with having stolen in Greenfield
about a week ago.
Early In the evening a short,
stockily built young man appeared at
the Hogan livery stable on Main
street with a horse and roadcart. lie
stated that he wished the horse put
up for tho night and he also asked
permission TO sleep in the Office over
night The horse was put in a stall
and the man went into the office and
stretched himself out upon the bed.
Tho proprietor OF the stable inn
mediately identified the horse as the
animal which had been reported to
the authorities here as having been
stolen in Greenfield, Mass. about a
week ago. Shortly after the theft
Chief of Police Brazil had requested
Mr.. Hogan TO be on the lookout for
tho horse and as soon as he set eyes
on the animal brought in by the
chunky young man, the proprleto. at
once notified the chief
Accompanied by officer Richard
Hurley, Chief OF Police Brazil at
once proceeded to the stable to take
a look at the horse. AS the officers
passed the window of the livery
stable office they came into view of
the squarely constructed young man
lying upon the bed and he quietly
stole through the door and out into
the night.

NORTH BENNINGTON II. S.
Institution Has Been Granted College
Entrance Certificate

Word has been received from Sec
rotary Frank w. Nicholson of the
New England college entrance board,
that the North Bennington high
school is granted the college en-
trance certificate privilege. The stand
ing OF the nine students now in diff
ferent colleges, all of whom are do
ing satisfactory, and in several cases,
highly creditabe work, has had
much to do in giving to the school
this prestige.
Principal Murdoch of the North Ad
ans normal school states that the
graduates of the high school, who
have taken courses there have in no
case taken rank below the first
third. He also says that if those era
duates who have taken college work
have taken as high a rank as those
who have taken normal courses, the
school has reason to be proud of its
graduates. OF the present senior
class of ten, three expect to enter col
lege and three are planning to take
normal courses.

exist. The senior member of the firIn'
Alex c. LaMarre. has been in bust
ness here for 80 years, and Edmond
LaFranchise has been associated with
him for 80 years. Like all success
full retail enterprises, it had a small
beginning. but through the untirinS
efforts and integrity OF the men who
comprised the firm, the store has
come to be known as one OF the best
in its line between Albany and Mon
treal II has carried q large stock OF
high-grade goods and has established
trade that in some respects has no
equal in the state of Vermont.
Mr.. LaMa-re has not been in the
best OF health for nearly two years,
and the management of the business
has devolvod upon his partner who
has come to realize that he. too. was
carrying more of load that should
come to a man at the end OF three dc
cacos of close application to business
Fc.. this reason the partners realized
that II was time for them 10 get out
Of tho treadmill.
Mr.. LaMarre opened a cigar and to-
bacco store nearly 40 years ago in
what was known as the Noyce block,
which stood near the site of the pre-
sent store. Later the business OF ST.
neon Sibley on the corne,, now occu-
pied by the Bennington county saw
ings bank and the Bennington county
national bank, was purchased. The
business was for a time located in
the Putnam house block on South
street and was moved to the present
location in the opera house block 20
years ago.
During their long business career
in town. Messrs. LaMarre and
LaFsanchise have made an enviable
record as business men Of Benning'
ton. They have carried alrge stock,
they have always stood behind every
article that passed over their coun'
tiers and the atmosphere of the store
has always been characterized by
courtesy and desire to please Gus
toners.
Mr.. Patterson, who has purchased
the store. has been in the grocery
business in Bennington for 20 years
and should therefore be thoroughly
acquainted with the wants of the pub
lie and should be qualified BY exper-
fence to meet the demands. He will
endeavor to maintain the high stan
dard for excellence that has been car.
ried by the former proprietors.
While residents of Bennington will
regret that Messrs. LaMarre and La
Franchise are retiring from active
business and while they will be pleas
ed to know that the change does not
necessarily mean their removal from
the community, at the same time they
will be glad to know that the bust
ness has come into the possession OF
such well-known and respected citi
zen as Nj. Patterson. While the new
proprietors plans are not definitely
established a portion if not all of the
present force of employees will be re
tanned.

That We Desire No War With
Mexico

New York. May l2.-New York join
ed the nation yesterday in memorial
izing with simple dignity the heroism
OF the 10 bluejackets and marines
who gave their lives al Vera Cruz. AS
the most impressive funeral pageant
since the time OF the Spanish war,
started on its solemn route from the
Battery to the Brooklyn navy-yard, Il
was as II the pulse OF the city was
suspended. and ove- the commercial
section Of the city there fell reyer-
entail hush. In the throngs, which
numbered more than 100000, East
side and West-side. peace Americans
and immigrants-New Yorks poly
glot population-stood shoulder to
shoulder in a community Of grief.
In the line Of mourners that follow
ed the artillery caissons bearing the
dead we're the chiefs OF state and ci-
~ government. and many distinguish
ed men OF nearly every calling; but
every eye in the throngs tina. lined
the way turned first to the carriage
where President Wilson rode, close
behind the last funeral ca. The
president came from Washington dur
ing Sunday night. and was with the
procession from the time II left the
Battery until the squad of marines
fired their parting volleys over the
fag-draped collins at the Brooklyn
navy-ya.d and the navy bugler sound
ed the taps" that proclaimed the end
of the ceremony
On the stand with the president az
| the navy-yard were mothers, sisters
and widows of the dead sailors and
marines. but in all the throng of
mourners none seemed more deeply
touched by the spirit of the day than
the man whose word sent the lads of
the navy to fight for their country's
honor at Vera Cruz. And to the pre-
sident was left the privilege OF volc.
ing the nations grief and the nation S
belief that those who died in the per.
Torrance of duty had done for their
country a service not to be measured
by their individual deeds. THE feel
ing that is uppermost." he said lis
one of profound grief, aud yet there
is mixed with that grief a profound
pride that they should have gone as
they did, and II | may say 1t out OF
my heart. a touch of envy OF those
who were permitted so quietly, so no
bly,, to do their duty"
The head of the nation looked out
over the thousands massed about the
collins on the parade ground and his
voice shook with emotion as he de
clared his creed I'VE have gone
down to Mexico" he said, ito serve
mankind If we can find out a way
We do not want to fight the Mexi
cans. We want to serve the Next
cans" There was a wisful note in
his voice as he added: II never was
under fire, but fancy there are some
things just as hard to do as to go un
der fire. | fancy that it is just as
hard to do your duty when men are
sneering at you as when they are
shooting at you When they shoot al
you they can only take your natural
life: when they sheer at you they can
wound your heart"
