T.R. HURT HUGHES
LA TOILETTE SAYS
Was "Greatest Liability
"Avalanche of Money
Also a Big Handicap

Madison. Wis, Dec. declaring
that Hughes's greatest asset was the
conviction that he was bigger than his
hackers and that his greatest liability
was Theodore Roosevelt, Senator Rob
ert NJ. l.. Toilette in his magazine to-
day analyses the election, which, he
said, was a victory of the people over
the parties and of peace over pre-
paredness.
"The President must accept the out
come of this election as clear man
date from the American people to hold
steadfastly to his course against war,
says La Toilette.
Smashed Political Machine
Woodrow Wilson's reelection has
tremendous significance, he adds
First of all, the plain people through
out the country registered their APP
proval of his worthy efforts to keep
this nation out of the maelstrom OF
war. OF even more significance is the
smashing of the great political ma
chimes that have so long dictated ma
tional elections.
"The West reelected Wilson. New
York did not count as of old; New
England did not count; Indiana did not
count; Illinois did not count. The old
line bosses of both parties did not
count. Every precedent was broken
when a President Of the United States
was put in the White House by voters
outside of the great financial and IN
dustrial centres of the nation.
"Mr. Hughes was unfortunate IN his
management and backing. He was un-
doubtedly strongest as n candidate at
the moment of his nomination. He had
the confidence of the people when they
realized that the acceptance OF ms
candidacy by the Republican conven--
ton met with sour faces from the old
Republican guard. The Progressive
masses of the Republican party had
high hopes in his candidacy. II ne
had SO conducted his campaign as TO
give clear, vigorous, plain spoken as
surance to these hopes the outcome
might have been different.
Hurt by Moneys Use
"Mr. Hughes's greatest asset in this
campaign. was the belief that he was
bigger than his hackers, tnat ne coulu
not be used and that he owed no po-
litical debts to agents of special privi-
lege.
His greatest liability land it proved
COSTLY was the support of Roosevelt
the placing of his campaign programme
in the hands of we'll known but DIS
credited Republicans of the old Aid
rich Taft Cannon crowd, and the APP
palling avalanche of money turned
loose upon the country or the eve OF
election in his behalf.
"Wall Street came in behind Hughes
and tried to put him over with money
and lost. Boss Murphy knitted Will
son-and lost. The Rooseveltian jim
goes shouted for Hughes-and lost
Boss Sullivan laid down on wilson
and lost. The munitions makers threw
their power for Hughes-and lost.
Boss Taggart failed as his party nom,
inee in lndiana-and lost. The old
guard politicians stuck their thumbs
into Hughes's campaign-and lost.
There is fine encouragement IN TINS
yrecking of machines in both parties.

ARLIN GTOA BOYS
AFFLICTED With
PARALYSIS
Two Sons Of Representative H. A.
Hulet Victims of Dread Disease
ONE CHILD is SERIOUSLY I'LL
Family Also Anxious Concerning Con.
dtion of little Daughter in Troy
Hospital.

Dr. c. H. Beecher of Burlington,
who was summoned by DR.. G. A. Rus
sell, the local physician, Monday af-
ternoon pronounced the two cases at
the home of Representative II. A. HUI
let of Arlington to be infantile paraly-
sis. The children afflicted are two
boys, II anu IA years old.
A little daughter early last week
was taken to the Samaritan hospital
in Troy apparently suffering from APP
pendicitis. She underwent an opera
tion and the appendix was found TO be
inflamed but not sufficiently to ac-
count for alarming symptoms. The
latest report from the hospital was
that the child was experiencing
trouble with one arm and there is
considerable anxiety lest the number
of known victims of the dread cpl
demic be increased.
The two boys have not been out OF
the state during the present summer
and have seldom left the immediate
vicinity of their home which is about
quarter of mile north of the
SALISBURY line in the town of Airing
ton. DR.. Beecher, when making his ex-
animation Monday, could account for
the cases in only one way, that the
boys have come in contact with chill
dren passing through SALISBURY who
had developed the fever preliminary
to the disease and were therefore car
riers OF the disease. Serum was used
in both cases.
All possible quarantine precautions
| have been taken at the Hulet home
and the family, notwithstanding its
great grief, is exerting every effort to
| protect its neighbors.

CLOSING DAY ON PLAYGROUND
Labor Day, Sept. 4th. Will Close
Summer Activities.

AS previously announced the clos
ing day on the Playground will be
celebrated by the annual automobile
ride, combined with a picnic This is
slight deviation from the usual order
of events, but in view OF the intense
heat of the summer and that possible
danger OF disease contagion through
bringing together a large number OF
people, it was thought advisable by
the committee Of Public Celebrations
to give the children a good time in
quieter and less public way The
plan is to select a nice, shady spot
within reasonable distance from Ben
nington and transport the children
there by automobiles. Each child is
to bring his own lunch. A program
OF entertainment will be provided
which will keep all happy every
minute. Announcements have been
sent to all the children who are regis
tered as Playground members, but all
children who wish to go may do so.
Tickets may be obtained by applica-
tion to the directors any afternoon at
the Playground and the giving out of
tickets will close on Friday as it will
be necessary to know then how many
to plan for.
The Camp Fire girls and Boy Scouts
will have charge of the evening enter.
tainment Many people have signiiied
their interest in these organizations,
but few actually know much about
the ritual and activities. At this
time an opportunity will be afforded
to al lwho care to learn what the
young people are doing and a good
evening entertainment is assured as
well.

UNDER ORDERS
TO BORDER
Vermont Troops to Leave Fort Ethan
Allen When Cars Are Provided
MAY ENTRAIN DURING THE WEEK
Recruiting Stations viii Be Son.
tinued After Men Leave State
For Eagle Pass.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Some 10000
men of Ohio, Vermont and Kentucky
National Guard regiments still held In
state mobilization camps were direct
ed by the war department today to
proceed to the Mexican border. The
department revoked the suspension of
an order for their movement issued
two weeks ago. All the regiments
will go forward to join Gen. Funston's
command as rapidly as transportation
can be supplied. Some units were on
the move tonight.
There remain approximately 49,
600 guardsmen scattered through
many states who are not affected by
today's order.
The original order sending south
ward all troops called into the federal
service was issued by the war depart
ment in order that the divisional units
along the international line might be
filled up and also that those regiments
which were not ready to go in to the
first rush might share in the training
as soon as they could be fully equip
ped. When the railway strike situa-
tion became threatening Gen. Funston
recommended that the whole move
ment be held up as the supply diff
ficulty in case Of a rail tie-up would
be complicated by the addition of 25,-
900 men to his command.
The department now has decided
that the strike situation may continue
unchanged for some time.
Burlington, Aug. 2S.-Adjt Gen. Lee
S. Tillotson stated tonight that he
had received no orders relative to the
moving Of the Vermont troops. II
was stated at Camp Gates that il
would be impossible to entrain for at
least 36 hours as the cars received
are not sufficient to accommodate the
troops.
1t Is expected that the troops will
leave for Eagle Pass by the middle oi
this week. Some of the supplies have
been removed to Essex Junction and
there are several special cars in the
yards now waiting for the order. The
moDlllzatiop camp at the fort will be
abandoned after the troops leave the
state, although the three recruiting
stations will be continued. They are
located at Middlebury, Morrisvilt
and Bennington, each one with an of
fcer and three enlisted men IL
charge.
Capt. Hyland has been feeding tn,
men well. according to reports re
ceived. They have meat at least ono,
day, eggs and other staple foo,
for other meals. Capt. Hyland state
that he has purchased so much foo,
and buys 1t In such quantities that tn
average cost per man is but q cent
q day.
Each man is equipped with 81 ind
vidual articles supplied by the govern
ment. Capt. Hyland expects that tn
troop train will consist OF seven slee
ing cars, two baggage cars and on
kitchen car.
