fled that he built a spur track, dock and
other things as the outcome of an agree
ment he had with the road and that the

provements in the interest OF the Green
Mountain Marble company, successors to
the Columbian concern. without having
paid anything for them,
! Mr. Jarvis denied that he had made Il
price OF $3.50 year to Mr. Underhill as
had been claimed. In support of the de-
PENDANTS claim that the general manager

general.
Mr.. Childs of Brattlcboro remarked
that If Mr.. Sentor was elected as at
torney-g general he hoped he would re-
sign or would see that the Office was
abolished.
Mr.. Senter, in reply to this, stated
that the office of attorney general rs
all right and ought to work for tho
public good but he did not think that
the peaceful commonwealth of Yer
mont ought to pay $40 600 for detec-
tive service in n year and he sharply
criticized an administration that would
allow such bills to go through. Mr..
Senter remarked that one of the rea-
SONS why Mr.. Howe did not want to
run for governor again was that he
did not consider himself financially
able. He proposed that a committee
be appointed to raise a campaign fund
of at least $1,000 and that the voters
show that they were willing to sup
port their candidate by going down in
their pockets,
The motion was put that such a
committee be appointed and tho same
was carried The committee was then
appointed, one member from each
county.
The nominations for State commit
tee were made and new committee
was elected as announced above.

was yet undecided as to whether the
action of the convention was deliber-
ate and for the best good of the par
". But how, he added, can demo-
crat refuse to do what such conven-
tlon has directed? He was fearful
that 1t might be said. and said with
some justification, that he had wanted
the nomination all the time Mr..
Howe concluded with the statement.
