Democratic Rally.

Over one hundred people attended the
Democratic rally at Seaver's hall last
night. to listen to the address of Har.
land B. Howe, the Democratic candi-
date for governor. The Barton band
was in attendance and certainly did
themselves proud in the several selec-
tions which they rendered before the
introduction of the speaker. Cornelius
Buckley introduced Mr.. Howe in few
well-chosen words. Mr.. Howe's ad-
dress was along the same lines as the
one he gave at Orleans at the Demo-
cratic county convention held there
short time since. Mr.. Howe says he is
a LaFollette Republican and Wood
row Wilson Democrat, that if he lived
in New York where Tammany has run
things too long, he would be Repub-
lican but that in Vermont where the
Republicans have run things for sixty
one years, he is Democrat. He
insists that the Republicans stole one
of the planks of the Democratic party
in 1912 in relation to taxation of
special interests and railroads and
increased the states income thereby
over $4,000. He finds much fault in
the Increase in state expenses in the
past four years and in the large num-
ber of political Offices created for
politicians. Mr.. Howe's address was
straight to the point, from the start,
yet there was absolutely no mud
singing. 1t was an able and forceful
argument and was we'll received.

Infantile Paralysis Patients.

Miss Harriet Austin, who has opened
a private sanitarium at her home on
Church street, for the treatment of
infantile paralysis patients, is meeting
with much success.
Miss Austin, a trained nurse, is
deserving of no small amount of praise
for her work, which she took upon
herself for no monetary reasons but as
a philanthropical work. Her first
patients were the little Anderson boy
and the Ash boy and since their going
there, marked improvement in both
of these children may be seen and
prospects seem to be very bright for
both these unfortunate children. Since
then a number of other children have
been sent to the Miss Austin and at
the present time she is attending to
ten patients, some of the coming daily
to her home, while others remain there
all the time. In cases where the
parents have not been able to contrib
ute toward the care of their children,
Miss Austin has come forward and
taken the matter wholly into her own
hands, although there have already
been some minor contributions and we
understand that subscription is now
being circulated to raise considerable
sum for this work, and certainly there
can be be no more deserving cause
than this. Parents whose children
have had the dreaded misfortune te
suffer from this most terrible disease,
should consult Miss Austin. 1t is very
likely that some measure of relief
may be afforded these unfortunate chill.
dren, and certainly no child could be
placed where they could have as gooo
care and attention as Miss Austin is
giving them. A few people of her sort
in every community go very far toward
making it worth while for US to live il
such place.
