Editor Of Montpelier Argus
Dear Sir WIN you please allow a
place in the Argus for what have to
say in regard TO the U, S, senatorial
contest and obliae. So much has been
said in the Argus which has been
copied mostly from other papers about
Senator Page not being OF any account
in Congress, having done nothing in
the eight years he has been there and
other things said about him which
were not very meritorious to say the
least, which were not true as can be
proved by what his colleagues say Of
him in Congress- What has Senator
Page done for Vermont He has a
large business in Hyde Park and EN-.
ploycd a good amount Of help in his
hide and Calfskin business for many
years and has paid the farmers, also
others, large amount Of money for
hides and cafskins here in Vermont
and has paid largely for advertising at
the same time, this is all true What
has Ex-Governor Fletcher, who wants
TO be at this time Senator, done for
Vermont ? His business has mostly
been after office as near as ! can find
out, and at the present time is paying
large amount of money for advertis-
ing to succeed Senator Page in Con
gress, and is doing his best to get it.
Republicans OF Vermont will soon de-
eide this at the primaries. am
pleased to offer as proof what is said
of Senator Page by one of the ablest
Republicans in Congress. Hon. H. C
Lodge, in reply TO letter ! wrote
him for information in regard 10 Sen
ator Pages services in congress, and
ask to have it printed in the Argus, so
that Republicans can know the truth
in regard to Senator Pages services in
Congrsss. Having received this reli-
able information from a source which
cannot well be doubted, it seems now
that Senator Page is entitled to a reelec-
ton to Congress. This is from one
that believes in a square deal in poll.

Respectfully submitted,

to-day to 20 over campaign plans for
the capture of Progressive votes this

the White House sufficient to stay at

hunger of the Presidents campaign
advisers.
With five of the seven Progressive

Mccormick, President Wilson spent
several hours going over the political
situation. cambridge Colby, Of New
York, took the lead in outlining ways
and means for resuscitating the Moose

Optimistic reports, it is understood,

President was assured, the Progress

constitute the balance Of power Most
of these, he said, would 90 for the

Nevertheless. the Administration is
known to be distinctly disappointed in
what is regarded as the "fai lure" OF
the Progressives to rally to the Pres

Congress had little result.

TAMMANY MEN SPLIT
IN 10Th DISTRICT
Shannon, Heading New Club,
Seeks to Regain Leadership.

One of the old-time Tammany dis
trict fights has broken out in the 2Oth
Assembly District, where a new club
was incorporated yesterday in opposi-
ton 10 the Cherokee Club, which has
been the regular organization head
quarters for several years. William
Shannon, the deposed leader of Che dis
trict, is at the head of the new Tam
many Club, and the politicians declare
it means a fight to The finish between
Shannon and the Morris Featherson
faction, which is now in control
through Stephen A. Ruddy, whom it
supported for leader.
This is the first open break of i'm
portance in Tammany ranks since the
DAYS when Mayor Mcclellan and John
II. O'Brien tried to wrest control OF
the wigwam from Charles +. Murphy.
The new Tammany Club has estab-
lished headquarters in East Seventy
ninth Street, near the Cherokee Club,
and its first hostile act was to declare
against Rudy for reelection as leader
and in favor of the denomination OF
Frank Aranow for the Assembly. This
means that there will be a primary
fight in the district. Aranow is a
Shannon man. Some young man who
is popular in the district will be
selected to run against Rudy.
James T. ]. DAILY nominally is IN
charge for Shannon, but the latter IS
the real factor in the fight. Among
the incorporators of the new club are
Hugh Connolly, Barney" German,
"J1Trv" Desmond, Shannon and Daily.
