WHO ARE TO SIT IN OUR
NEXT LEGISLATURE?

As the time approaches for the nam
ing Of candidates for our next legisla-
ture il is well TO discuss the matter as
fully as possible.
No other matter so greatly affects
our interests at large as the making Of
clean, wholesome laws and the whole
matter lies upon the principle upon
which we shall elect our representa-
tives for the House and Senate.
The principle upon which they of
late years have been elected to large
extent should be eliminated so far as
possible, which is that the bare fact
Of a previous experience is disquali-
fcation-the members being elected
largely on account Of its being their
turn" Hence the piling up Of mass
Of useless laws and the giving Of the
so-called influences an open field for
operations

AS member of ten years standing
| have met and become acquainted
with the character Of the legislators
for the last score Of years and | am
going to take the liberty without hav-
ing consulted with any Of the parties
concerned to mention the names Of
those now voters in Bennington Coun-
ty and whom ! have been conversant
with as a brother member, who, as
think, would best serve the interests
of the state, but who will not, them
selves, put themselves forward as can
didates. Let us do it for them.
First and foremost of all and as
believe one of the very best in the
state | desire to mention the name Of
A. G. Orvis Of Manchester, who keeps
himself thoroughly posted and whom
no influence of any nature whatever
can turn from what he thinks his duty.
Next ! would mention John G. Flynn
of.Dorset, who, although he has often
opposed me, | really believe con
scientious and thoroughly competent
person suitable for legislative posi-
ton.
Have the people Of Manchester these
last ten or more years realized in the
least, that there has been living among
them a person who has repeatedly, as
a member from town upon the other
side of the mountain, the town of
Weston, proved himself exceptionally
competent as a member of the House
Of Representatives, in fact one among
hundred, | refer to Alden +. Bryant. |
Last, but not least, mentioned last
largely because Of his residing in my
own town, the name Of George L.
Richardson of Peru. Every one ac-
quainted with him knows well his gen
eral intelligence-especial those who
have stopped with him as his guest at
the Lodge" whose seclusion has ever
given to him exceptional opportunity |
to study the interests Of the state,
which he so carefully and effectively |
fostered as a member Of the House.
Simply "he has it in him." For the
south end of the county-would say
let them run their own machine, ex-
cept in regard to the Court House, but
! would mention particularly the name
of Collins NJ. Graves.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
WEAK BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills OF Manchester People

As one weak link weakens chain,
so many weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final break
ing down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gener-
ally when their activity is lessened,
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come, and there
is an ever-increasing tendency to-
wards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's
disease. When the kidneys fail there
is no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys.
No need to take the statement Of
someone living far away as audience.
Here is case right in this locality.
John Stuart, Hampton, N. Y. says:
my back was sore and lame and my
kidneys were disordered. One box Of

required TO rid me Of the trouble"

 Yet Exhausted

New York, March 19.--J. P. Morgan who arrived here today from Liverpool on the steamship Philadelphia reiterated the denial that a new credit against American securities, said to have been mobilized in London, had been arranged by him for the entente allies
 He said he knew of no contemplated new loan to the allies and asserted that the last loan was not exhausted As to the reported mobilizing in London of American securities held in Great Britain and France MT. Morgan said:
 CT understand they expect to handle these securities as they have been doing in the past, so that it will not hurt the market" The financier refused te discuss his mission abroad and also de- cined to talk of a second appearance as witness before the Thompson leg islative committee to testify as to the affairs of the Interborough Rapid Tran sit company. T know nothing about it." he asserted
 Asked as to what impressions he had gathered while in Europe as to the progress of the war:
 q am not a military man; hence cannot discuss that question. l did not observe, however, any signs of weak ening.''
 Mr. Morgan sailed from New York on February 2, and it then was reported he had gone abroad in connection with a new French loan. This report was de- ned. Later reports from abroad were that his mission had to do with American securities.
 Mr. Morgan was accompanied by Mrs. Morgan on the trip.
