Owing to the numerous exhibits IN

Gus work entailed in placing them in

view are said by the agricultural ex-
perts of Purdue, TO surpaSs any exhi-
bitiOn of this nature ever held in the
northern part OF the state. There is
an excellent variety in all departments
and To the layman IT appears that
every exhibit should prove a prize
taker.
OF course IL IS inevitable that there
should be some crowding; this IS ow-

il was estimated that more than 1000
pieces OF fancy work, table doilies,
cloths. quilts. bedspreads and every
manner of crocheted and embroidered
work were displayed IN the hall. The
walls were covered with the work and
a number Of large racks were crowd

The exhibition exceeds the eXpecta-

as great as the entire population Oh

Think for a moment OF the prob
lem which the New York Legislature
has to solve for the people of New
York City and the other great cent
ers of the state The last census

New York only 1913 per cent had nat

Think of the problems which the
Legislature of Massachusetts has TO
solve with its numerous manufact-
urng towns filed to n large extent
with non-Englsh speaking races. In
considering this do not forget that in
1910 in Fall River only 1873 per cent.
OF the inhabitants had native born
parents: that in Lowell only 1873 be-
longed to that class. Ought the states
FIRST mentioned to have the right to
dictate to New York her policy, or to
Massachusetts her policy? Can it be
justified eunically or politically?
The entire population of the nine
states which have mentioned is on
ly a little more than seven and half
millions of people-less by nearly one
and a half millions than the popula.
ton OF New York-and yet YOU will
see that those nine states would, up
on the question of the ratification of
the proposed amendment have nine
times the voting power of the great
Empire State which has grave prob
lens of its own to solve.

general government really has no in

is represented in Congress by Sena-

the States. Some OF the States in the
exercise OF their sovereign rights
have determined that women shall
vote in such elections: others in The
exercise OF the same sovereign pow

ment
This office at the request OF the
state committee of the progressive
party has kept in as close touch as
was possible with the Hon. Chas. A.

purpose OF ascertaining whether Mr..
Prouty would allow his name to be
presented in our party primaries as
a candidate for nominotion on
straight progressive party ticket for
the office of United States senator
from Vermont.
This Office has consistently and
strictly adhered to the view that
such consent was a necessary pre-
requisite TO support for Mr.. Prouty
by members of the progressive party
We are now able to announce that
he has given the consent as Is indi-
Gated by a letter from him to this

gram from you asking whether |

litical happenings in Vermont and
dsliked TO speak without further in
formation. Upon returning to Wash

of March 25 proposing the same ques-
tion and urging an immediate reply.

taking place in a political way in our

which / should most highly appreci-

The whole matter is now in the
