and stating that he did not seek endorse

j. G. Jones, recognized leader of the
Rutland Bull Moose contingent, who was
present at the meeting, said that such

ing that hereafter he would affiliate
with the Republican party and did not
desire any endorsement by the Progress
sives. Mr.. Jones could not remember
the phraseology of the letter, but said it
was not regarded as especially import
ant. He understood, however, that the
letter amounted to an elimination of
Prouty as a Progressive candidate for
the United States Senate.
Judge f. w. Gibson of Brattleboro
also admitted that such letter had
been read at the meeting, but was un.
able to remember its exact language.
His impression was. however, that Mr..

should be made of his candidacy for the

Mr.. Callahan said the meeting was a

of organizat ton met with general favor.
There was little doubt, continued the
secretary, that at some time in the near
future, unions embracing all the skilled
trades in the industry would be formed
here. and possibly the common laborers,
if such a move should prove feasible.
AS to the demands union organized

courage was that which inspired the
noble women who suffered, too. The
display Of courage in the field Of every

should learn from the war. Christians
to-day are coming to see that it Is about

of all those who desire to rectify the
wrongs and remove the iniquities that
abound in civil, political and national

and victories are being won.
Greed, selfish ambition and indifference
are some of the battles that must be

battles that are going on in our midst
