paws Gallagher of Montpelier and Palm

form that after the first inning only one
hit was made of him and this one in the
ninth frame by Levin. although he

two come in the same inning these being
made by Murray and Gallagher in the
eighth, and he did not pass a man.
The fielding of both teams was fast
and snappy, Montpelier doing some
pretty work in the infeld and Bartlett
and Bottggi taking three hard drives in
their territory in the outer garden.
Young Murray, the Massachusetts, school
boy, made two pretty catches at short
stop, while Dole, the new second base.
man on the Montpelier team, made some
nice throws around the infield. Burling
ton also played some snappy ball in the
field. One play of note was executed in
the eighth inning after Murray had dou-
bled and Gallagher beat out an infield
roller, putting Murray on third; Gala.
CHER started to steal second on the first
pitched ball TO Bresnahan, Hamilton
threw the ball as II to catch Gallagher
at second, but Palmer stabbed the ball
and threw it to third, catching Murray
by several feet. IL was a pretty play
and nicely executed.
Bottiggi led both teams at bat, getting
two safe wallops out of three times up, a
single and double, and was thrown out
on an nfeld grounder the third time at
bat. Murray and Dole, the new players
on the Capital city team, also did some
a double, both drives sailing into deep
left.
Denning's home run into the river was
easily the feature OF the afternoon, but
after this swat he couldn't seem to con.
meet with Gallagher's delivery, as he
struck out the next three times up. Fitz-
patrick was the most successful of any
Of the Burlington team TO reach first, be-
ing hit by pitched ball once and work |

Burlington started in the first inning. |
After Maiden had grounded to Dole, !

The Queen city bunch put up howl
several times because they thought that
Gallagher baked when he tried to catch
man off first, but Umpire Burke
couldn't see it that way.
Palmer always frightened when he was

Bottiggi's two-base hit was hard,

Murray made pretty sacrifice fly in
the fourth inning when he caught one
on the nose, driving it into deep right

POLITICAL ADVERTISING
vermonterS Resent Outside
InterferenCeS With Sena-
tOria| Situation!

In an unsigned advertisement, Senator Page
devotes large amount of space to something
that Speaker Champ Clark said at a National
Press Club banquet.
Mr. Clark is the Democratic speaker of a Democratic
House of Representatives, and in 1912 candidate
for the Democratic nomination for president
In another large advertisement, similarly I'M
signed, Senator Page gives valuable space to
article which appeared in the Boston Weekly Bull
letin of Leather and Shoe News some time ago.
This publication is closely identified with the Leather
and Shoe trust and its articles published strictly
business basis
In the same manner diligent friend of Sena-
4 tor Page in Montpelier publishes letter received
I from Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, which refers
in courteous but extremely cautious manner to
: the service of Vermonts junior senator in the ma
tional Senate.
Why should the opinions of Champ Clark in
fuence the decision of Vermont voters as to the
best man to represent them in the United States
: Senate?
What has the national Shoe and Leather trust
to do with Vermont politics?
Since when has it become necessary for Yer
monters to go outside the state and find out what
Senator Lodge wants them to do in relation to
electing United States senator?
The history of all political contests in Vermont has
been that the interference of outsiders with the parc-
ular special affairs of the state has been deeply resented
How do Vermonters like the idea of having
their senators selected by men and forces outside
the state, such as
i Champ Clark Democratic leader?
The Shoe and Leather Trust?
Henry Cabot Lodge?
The history of Vermont radiates with examples of
independence Since the days of Ethan Allen Vermont
have conducted their public affairs according
Z their lights.
Are we to take opinions from Missouri
from the Shoe and Leather Trust, from Massa-
chusetts, or will form our own?
What Vermonters want to know is what Sen
ator Page has done to enttIe him to reelection
WILL SENATOR PAGE ANSWER or will
Champ Clark or Henry Cabot Lodge or the Shoe
and Leather trust answer for him?
Thousands of people in Vermont desire to know
what Senator Page has stood for and what he
has created in the way of progressive construct

senator.

BAKER VIOLATING
OATH OF OFFICE
SAYS WILCOX

Especial Dispatch to West virginian)
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The follow.
ing statement was issued by the Re
publican National committee at Re-
publican headquarters here this even
ing:
"The campaign Of humbug. pretense
and falsehood which has been waged
by the Wilson administration and its
political managers reached its climax
last night with the issuance at the
War Department by Mr.. Baker, Secre-
tary OF War. of his astounding state
fnent charging that some unnamed and
unidentified persons were plotting a
new Mexican outbreak before election
day, for the purpose Of turning the tide
Of sentiment against Wilson.
Immediately after issuing this
charge, Mr.. Baker left Washington and
was not available for questions con
corning II until today. This is the
same Baker who ten days ago in Jer.
Soy City likened the heroes OF &c and
Valley Forge to the bandits of Villa and
Carranza- Having at various times
denied that speech, despite the testi.
tnony Of stenographers who reported
Il, It was to be expected that he would
deny or modify his War Department
statement as soon as he found that It
was not accomplishing what he had
hoped for It. But denial, in fact, was
made for him and without waiting for
his return to his office. It came from
his cabinet colleague, Secretary Lam
sing, who protested that politics was
not thought Of In the matter and Mr..
Baker, on his return to Washington
today, corroborated Mr.. Lansing by
saying that there was not the slight
est political Significance In issuing his
statement of last night.
This statement, ard the comment on
Il OF administration officials today
throw q white light upon the unscrupu.
lous political course Of the Wilson ad
ministration and its managers in this
campaign.
Mr.. Bakers statement said the War
Department had definite information,
confirmed from other sources, that
enemies Of the administrations policy
toward Mexico" had arranged spec
tacular attack on either the American
forces or some part Of the American
border before election day for the pur.
pose quoted. Only one Interpretation
Of that statement was possible and
that was that Mr.. Baker was charg.
ing the political opponents of the vii.
son administration with plotting &C.
tive treason. And It is incredible that
Mr.. Baker had any other purpose in
mind than that when he issued the
statement.
Such a charge would be directly in
line with utterances of Woodrow vii.
9on himself. Repeatedly the Presi
dent has shown himself to be fond of
this vague kind Of denunciation.
He enjoys making charges in broad
general terms which specify nothing
and no one. Especially with regard to
the opposition to his policy toward
MEXICO and his handling Of the Mexi.

Martinsburg, W. Va, had an oppor.
tunity last night to celebrate the re.
turn Of one OF the former West Vir-
gtnians, who has risen to high place
under the Wilson administration -
Secretary OF War Baker.
Mr.. Baker was here for few hours
yesterday, en- route from a speaking
tour in the Middle West to West Vir.
ginia, and, during his short stay was
besieged by newspaper men who en-.
deavored to have him make some
statement or explanation of the speech
made by him in New Jersey. in which
he is alleged to have said that revolu.
tionists were all alike and that the
followers of Villa in Mexico were no
worse In their methods of warfare than
the troops under George Washington
in the Revolutionary War. When ask.
ed whether his remarks had been en-.
dorsed by the President and cabinet,
Mr.. Baker pulled his Mona Lisa smile
which has worked overtime since his
arrival in Washington and ended the
interview.
