started out to help clean up the Demo-

could not stand for the unfortunate
position the organization took In sup
porting Gov Harmon and In allowing
the control Of the party policies to be
dictated by the reaetionary element.
Before the Bay City convention we
formed what we called the Woodrow
Wilson club. The object OF our or.
gantzation was to secure the nomina-
ton Of Woodrow Wilson for president
and also to eliminate the present or.
ganization Of Michigan. as Il did not
represent real democracy. Before the
Democratic state convention, at the
earnest solicitation OF Gov. Ferris. I
started out TO organize the Eleventh
congressional district for Wilson. Mr..
Ferris stated TO me that he was afraid
the District would be lost, because A.
X. Garfield, secretary Of the Demo
cratic state central committee. lived
there. Mr.. Garfield was tally clerk
OF the house In Washington and was
working In the interests. of Mr.. Clark

we sent an instructed delegation for
wilson to the Baltimore convention.

against Mr.. Bryan's resolution which
ultimately resulted in the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson.

upon as an inferior. or is thinking IN
anything else but smiles.
With the evidence OF the physicians
who performed the autopsy upon the
body OF Mrs. Bailey disposed OF hrst
today, Il Is expected that District Az
torney Smith will call az his frst
witnesses Celia Coleman. the Negro
maid In the Carman home. and Frank
Farrell. a wanderer, picked up In
Freeport. II is upon these two wit
nesses that the states case mainly
rests. The defense has clearly indt
Gated that q strenuous attempt will
be made to discount the finding OF Q
dictagraph In the Carman home as
having any connection with the case.
The Coleman girl Is prepared TO tell
q story of Mrs. Carman going through
the kitchen just before the shot was
fred that killed Mrs. Bailey. She was
clad in kimono and appeared TO have
something concealed under her left
arm, according to the maids story.
Immediately after the crash OF glass
at the physicians window and the
firing of the shot, the maid has de-
clared Mrs. Carman rushed back, ad-
monishing her to say nothing OF her
presence outside her room. Farrell
has told story OF seeing woman
creep UP to the window OF DR.. Car
mans office and fire into the room.
Every juror In the box has given
his word that he will give as much
credence to the testimony OF the col
ored maid as he would to that of a
white person. They have also said
that the fact that Mrs. Carman In
stalled a dictagraph In her husband ,
office to spy upon him has not pre1u-
diced them against her. When Juror
Aston was asked what he thought of
the installation OF the mechanical
eavesdropper," he brought a polite
litter from the court room, by an
swering, well. / wouldn't care 10

District Attorney Smith has indi-
Gated that william J. Burns may be
called as q witness. When Counsel
John j. Graham, for the defense,
questioned all prospective Jurors
closely as to what they knew OF this
man Burns" Smith countered by In
Quiring whether they would give
Burns the same consideration as any
other witness that might be called.
All said they would.
Another crush for seats was ex-
pected at the court house today when

are taken the doors will be locked.

but not TO worry about II because =
he were elected and Woodrow Wilson

ment would never control any part

me to wonder why Mr.. Helme made
the statement. Had the governor

deliberately to mislead me? be-
lieve that Mr.. Ferris deliberately
misled Mr.. Helme.

HARTFORD.
Tax of $3.50 Was voted-Ex-Gov. Pin
gree Again Town Clerk.

White River Junction, March 4.-Town
meeting was very largely attended in
spite of the bad condition of roads. A. E.
Watson was reelected moderator, and
ex-Gov. S. f. Pingree, who for about so
years has served as town clerk, was
again reelected. Curtis H. Powers was
again, having served several terms. The
question of whether the town should
have five selectmen this year or the usual
number of three was sharply discussed.
1t was finally voted to have the number
of officials three, and William H. Wallace
was chosen to fill the vacancy on the
board caused by the outgoing selectman,
George H. Fuller. George HI. Savage,
who for about 20 years has served as
lister, was reelected to a position on
that board. George II. Watson was re-
elected town treasurer. The town voted
to appropriate 81 900 for the permanent
improvement of the highways of the
town pursuant to the provisions of No.
~ of the public acts of 1908. The ques-
ton of raising money to pay debts and
current expenses was much debated. In
view of extraordinary expenses such as
the building of the new bridge, etc, a.
few favored a tax of 81 on each dollar
of the grand list. Others wished to place
the rate at 1925. A tax of $3.50 was
finally voted, IS cents of this tax to be
applied on the town debt. Among mo-
tions laid on the table was one relat
ing to the erection of new barn on
the town farm at an expense of s., 900.

After Mayor-Elect Boutwell,
Had Made a Strong
Plea for 1t
SAID HE PROPOSED
SOME IMPROVEMENTS
City Swung into the License
Column by a Small
Majority

Montpelier yesterday returned TO the
"wet" column by vote of III to $50.
A large vote was cast on all questions
and James M. Boutwell, was elected may
or almost unanimously, receiving 1874
votes. On the State House addition, the
vote was, yes l,340; no "a. On the
preferential referendum, there were 504
in favor and 1877 against; on the direct
primary referendum, yes 81, no 1876. On
the question of terminating the Washing
ton county grammar school contract. so
women voters expressed their opposition
and it was the general opinion that it
was their votes which defeated the reso-
luton, there being PA in favor and 232
opposed. Much interest was shown in
the latter matter and several voters con-
tributed speeches on the subject.
After Mayor Boutwell's election, when
the tax question was brought up, he
made so strong plea for 81 tax rate,
instead of the usual $50 rate, that when
it was put to a vote only one dissenting
voice was heard. The new mayor said
he wanted the city to purchase an auto
fire truck, he wanted to improve the POI
lice, fire, water, road and poor depart
ments and to make changes in other mat
tiers, and to do these things would take
money. To vote a $3.50 tax would be
to remain in the same old rut. He was
strongly opposed by some, but when the
question was put the people upheld his
opinion and voted the amount.
The only contest for city Office was in
ward six, where w. NJ. Parker was elect
ed alderman with 96 votes over Z. c..
GitchelI 6s, and George NJ. Felt, 20. The
full list Of officers is as follows; Mayor,
James NJ. Boutwell,; city clerk and city

The sum of $1,000 was appropriated
for highway purposes in excess of the1
amount required by law, Fred L. Laird's
resolution to authorize the making of a
contract for the transportation of public
school children was adopted, and one au-
