COMMERCIAL BODIES UNITE.
Merchants Association and Chamber
of Commerce Consolidate.

The Bellows Falls and North Wal
pole Merchants association in its meet
ing Monday evening voted to affiliate
with the Bellows Falls chamber of com
merce. This question had been under
discussion ever since the organization
of the chamber in January, last year.
AT first there was opposition to it on
the part of several of the members of
the older organization, but this oppo-
sition grew less as the value of the
chamber to this locality was demonstrat-
ed and in the meeting Monday even
ing the vote was unanimous for affilia-
ton. By affiliating with the chamber
members of the Merchants association
viii be relieved of paying dues in both
organizations, as the majority were
members of both, and it is believed
that the greater part of the activities
of the association comes legitimately
under the supervision of the chamber,
as things now exist.

party will have to be some one else than
Mr.. Roosevelt.
That the Progressive leaders take
this view of the situation is considered
certain by the Republicans, because of
the statement of George W. Perkins in
Chicago, that he hoped the Progros-
sives and Republicans would get to-
gether on a candidate and that candi-
date need not necessarily be Roosevelt,
as well as the statement of William
Finn, Bull Moose leader of Pennsyl-

sible candidate, the Republican leaders
do not see why the Progressives can
not accept Mr.. Hughes or some one
else.
