The Legislature OF 1912

2 he list of the Offences" of Hon.
Allen NJ Fletcher during his admins
t.-tion as governor, SO generously
oIlitted in the st, Adams Messenger S
list Of that officials transgressions,
and supplied in the columns of the
Tribune, has attracted the attention
of the st. Johnsbury Caledonian, and
that esteemed contemporary has been
moved to make-unconsciously, but
nevertheless appreciably--the greatest
tribute yet paid to Governor Fetch
er's service to the state. The Caledon.
ian thinks the legislature of 1912
should be given credit for the meas
ures mentioned as having been pushed
through the legislature under the lead
ership of Mr.. Fletcher as governor.
And that is precisely the credit that
Mr.. Fletcher gives.
From the very outset Mr.. Fletcher
has pronounced the legislature of 1912
one of the most efficient constructive
and faithful general assemblies with
in the memory of the recent genera
ton, and he will doubtless regard it as
high compliment that an opposing
paper should deem the Offences
named deserving enough to be credit
ed to the legislature in question He
has been content to bear the kicks
aimed at him by few inspired news.
papers, but he is generous enough TO
give full credit to the lawmakers who
so faithfully co.operated to do what is
coming at this late day to be recog
nized as a great service for the com.
monwealth. Indeed, the friends OF
Governor Fletcher know that he is de.
termined, no matter what else hap
pens, that the legislature of 1912 shall
receive the credit that it failed to re-
ceive owing to a campaign OF misrep.
resentation so vigorously waged
against his administration and all hav.
ing anything to do with it,

There was stormy time in the
wheat pit during the first Is minutes.
The confusion was so great that num-

brokers plunged through the crowd,

each other by the shoulders to shout
into each others faces.
The uprising assumed more and
more impetus when traders had gain.
ed time to breathe freely, and signs
we're noted that some of the buying of
future deliveries was on European
counts and that exporters were among
the active bidders for cash wheat. At
this stage the market had climbed
more than four cents up from the bot.
tom levels touched at the outset.
Swift advances took place later and
the market jumped to ~ above yes
terday's finish for December and May,
besides virtually off-setting in full the
early declines In the July option. The
cause of the burst of strength at the
last was news that export sales dur.
ing the day had obtained giant pro-
portions, $2,OO0.00O or more, or at the
highest prices obtained from Europe
in weeks. 4"
