the errors. His "a for the outward
Journey in the afternoon was almost
never bettered at Ekwanok and if net
ted him the first five holes in success
sion. Eight of the nine holes were
played in par and one, the third was
better than par.
Travers in the meantime was hav-
Ii ing plenty Of trouble with his drives
and the first, second and fifth holes
were lost largely because of having to
play second shots from the rough. The
recent title holder came back with
four par holes after the fifth and was
better than par at the 10th, but it was
too late and the match soon ended in
a pair of fours at the 18th. Ouimet
was six up and five to play.
After the match was ended the gal
lery of over 1000 persons gathered
around the first tee and r. c. Watson
of New York, president of the Nation

Mr.. Watson added that this was one

that the regular state corn show was
! to be replaced by the first exposition
ever held in New England given over
entirely to boys and girls interest has
increased by leaps and bounds.

gumented by the distribution Of very

the arrangements have no purpose in
mind other than the encouragement to
be given all school and home agricul-
tural and industrial pursuits in which
boys and girls are engaged. And

is hoped that all such interest in the
state will be given new impetus
and that school officials and parents
will come to approve Of such work be-
ing taught and extended over the
state.
The response from school officials to
cooperate in the undertaking has
been very general and many schools
plan special demonstrations of their
work along vocational lines.

uals and institutions. The age limit

spectively.

GREENE RE.NoMINATED
Unanimous Choice Of First District
Congressional Convention. Dale
Wins in Second District.


With 205 ou, Of 260 delegates rep
resented and under circumstances
which inspired repeated outbursts Of
enthusiasm and applause Frank l..
Green Of ST. Adams was unanimously
nominated for Congress in the first
district convention held in Burlington
Tuesday.
Congressman Greene stepped
trifle out Of routine in his speech Of
acceptance and gave an interesting
account of the situation OF Republi-
can congressman under the thumb OF
a Democratic majority. Mr.. Greene
said:
when we come back into power
as we certainly will cloud applause)
we shall know exactly the sort of
hymn to give out for the Democrats
to sing (laughter). Two months ago
there was absolutely no question as
to the return of the Republican major
ity to Congress.
To-day the Democrats are trying to
charge everything to the war. As to
canal tolls, when ! came to reach a
decision ! went into Statuary hall and
asked the heroic figure Of Ethan Allen
what he should do If any one pro-
posed to him giving back to Great
Britain something 81 that belonged to us
without asking whether il were right
or wrong and old Ethan got down off
his pedestal and | had to run for my
life.
"The things to remember in this
falls campaign are tariff, tolls, trusts
and treaties. | wish we could have
another Boston tea party and throw
them all overheard" Loud and re-
newed applause followed Mr.. Greene's
speech.
Harvey r. Kingsley of Rutland, pre-
sided and compared the Republican
party to the humble but useful carpet
tack, not safe to trample or sit down
upon.
j. &. Page cf Bristol, was secretary
and the old district committee was re-
elected on nomination Of committee
Of Howard Clark Of Addi-
son, John H. Hicks Of Bennington, c.
II. Darling Of Chittenden, f. w.
Steele Of Franklin. II. j. O'Neil Of
Grand Isle, Dir. j. M. Hamilton of Rut-
land, and Charles l.. Hayford Of La
nloille.
Mr.. Greene was placed in nomina-
tion by John T. Gushing, editor of the
st. Albans Messenger, who referred
10 the candidates efforts for the
New Vermont" He predicted that
-he Republican party would show no
sight of departing from the safe and
pleasant paths of victory. A demon
'tration Of cheers and applause greet
d the candidate after the delegates
lad cast one ballot ard Mr.. Greene
vas presented by Mr.. Cushing and
Smith y. Waite of Hyde Park.
Many delegates expressed their be-
ief that if Mr.. Greene makes as good
n impression on the stump as he did
n the convention the success of the
Republican ticket in the first district
would be assured.
In the second district convention
eld at White River Junction on
tuesday,, Porter H. Dale Of Island
'ond, was nominated for member of
congress on the 2lst ballot, thereby
efeating Alexander Dunnett of ST.
ohnsbury and John w. Gordon Of

GARDNER SHOWS
UNITED STATES
UKEQU|PPED
FOR WAR
Congressman Severely
Scores Wilson Policy
T0ward National
Defense

Washin gtOn. Dec. 1U.-ReDrcscn-
tativc Gardner addressed the House
today on his resolution for investiga-
tion of the preparedness of the ma
ton for war Gardner spoke of the
importance Of his bill introduced in
the last congress with emphasis. A
large portion of his speech Mr., Gard
ner devoted TO an analysis of Presi-
dent Wilson's reference to national
defense in his annual address to con-
gress Tuesday. He declared the
president had set up 'bogy man OF
straw" and that if war were to break
out today it would be found our coast
defcnses have not sufficient ammu-
milton for an hours fighting.
We must depend in every time
of national peril upon citiZenry
trained and accustomed to arms,
says the president, said Gardner,
but how are we to get enough citi-
zenry, as he calls us ordinary peo-
pie? Does the president realize that
there are only 10000 militiamen in
this whole nation? Does he under
stand that $4,000 of them did not
y
inspection? Does he know that 81
900 did not appear at the annual en-
campment? Is he aware that $1,000
or nearly half Of this citiZenry-
never appeared at the rifle range
during the whole course of last
year
Where is TINS citizcnry to get the
weapons of war? According to the
chief of staff we are short BIG field
guns and 1,322.3S4 rounds Of am
tia in time of war. Last year Cen
eral Wood asked for enough guns and
ammunition to bring the United
States " to the standard of Bul-
garia. That immodcst demand was
gently but firmly rejected.
Il will lnot say that we have only
enough field artillery ammunition to
last for a single day battle if all
our guns were engaged but l will
say that such is the statement which
has been made to me by one of the
highest officers in the United States
army. l do not. however, hesitate to
assert that if war were to break out
today it would be found that our
coast defenses have not sufficient
ammunition for an hours fighting.
The chief of staff tells us that the
ammunition fer the coast defense
'mortars would last one-half hour and
