ROUTE NEEDS GREATER IMPROVE
MENT.

large number of automobile acct.
dents have been recorded during the sea
son on the main road between Barre and
St. Johnsbury, and most of them have
been due in large measure to the narrow
ness of the highway in certain places.
Here and there the highway has been
widened in the process of permanent
work, and again it narrows down into a
country road scarcely more than the
width of carriage or automobile, while
the edges of the highways are not clear
" defined at all, the vehicle being Just
as likely to slump off into a depression
as to remain on the level of the road
1t is rather hazardous to negotiate a
passing of two vehicles on these narrow
stretches OF highway in broad daylight;
it is extremely dangerous to try TO pass
at night. And vet this Barre-St. Johns
bury route is one of the most Travelled
highways in Vermont, lying as it does
between two of the principal points in
the eastern part of the state and being,
as well, one of the chief routes of motor

The Buffalo Commercial Describes the
Book Thus:

"'Harp of the North is collec-
ton of verses by Arthur Went
worth Hewitt. They express in
welI-written poesy the authors
conception of the dashing of cold
sea waves against bleak towers
and rocks, love bearing winds
over sheep pastures and mill
streams, and run the gamut of
fancy, now bright and now NOR
bid"

The Cincinnati Times-Star Says:

"Singularly musical are the verses
of Arthur Wentworth Hewitt in
Harp of the North There are
songs of love, of the soul and of
nature, all of marked lyric quail
ity and lofty in sentiment

"Blue Hills Beyond the Green
is perhaps the simplest bit of
verse in the book, yet it has the
charm of touching with sympathy
and delicacy of coloring an expe-
rience common to all.
Perhaps the Seven Songs of
Evening show best the authors
power of description.
These sonnets have all the mys-
terry of light and shadow, silence
and sound which belongs to an

Passages from The Bells of
Eternity remind strongly of Poe's
masterpiece, The Bells"

The Hartford Courant with a Refer
ence to Sir Walter Scott SAYS:

"Mr. Hewitt reminds us a little
of the great Scotch poet and nov
elist. He sets in simple effective
measure some mythical legends of
wraiths and ghosts. The Gawky'
and The Shepherds Daughter are
merry and even humorous pas
torals."

PRESIDENT WILSON
 DISCUSSES PLANS
 FOR THE PLATFORM
Chief Executive Preparing
 Draft of Platform, Which Will Be Completed Soon After G. o. P. Convention
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Chicago, June 6.-(Special)- )-The re- port out of Washington that William G.. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, will resign his cabinet position and accept the chairmanship of the democratic national committee, is generally accepted as true by republican politicians at present so deeply involved with the complexities of the situation.
 It has been believed for sometime that Mr. McAdoo has desired a broader field over which to stretch his wings, and it is thought probable that the President s consent that he resign and manage the ensuing campaign of the party was ob- tained through his own insistence.
 If the reports are true, MT. McAdoo will resign as soon as the executive com fnittee meets in St. Louis and elects him chairman.
 The pre-convention democratic gossip is further to the effect that ex-Governor Martin H. Gynn of New York will be temporary chairman of the convention, and as such will deliver the keynote address. Senator Ollie James of Ken lucky is slated for the permanent, chair manship and Sentor Stone of Missouri for the chairmanship of the committee on resolutions.

BURTON WAS TURNED DOWN

Who is he?" chorushed the prosres sives.
 Theodore E. Burton of Ohio,' Smoo' replied.
 For a moment there was silence. Then Governor Johnson sprang from his chail and began walking back and forth across the room, but saying nothing. Another of the progressives finally spoke.
 "Xou have expressed the real vital diff ference between the republican and pro- gressve parties in their methods of se- lecting candidates for the presidency he said. You would name man who car pick up the scattering vote of factions here and there. We want a candidate who is a national figure and can draw from all sections of the country, and un til we can agree upon such a man all talk of a compromise is futile.'
 Just then Charles D. Hilles came in He exchanged pleasantries with the pro- gressives and a few minutes later the old guard trio withdrew without further discussion Of candidates

BULL MOOSE HEADS !. CONFIDENT ACTION CAN BE POSTPONED Final Pre-Convention Con- ference Held by Commit
 teemen at Chicago
 

Chicago, June 6.-A final -conven- tion conference of progressive national committeeman. state chairmen and del- egation chairmen was held tonight Chairman Murdock of the national committee and many of the leaders made speeches urging that no nomina- tions be made by the convention until Friday. Enthusiastic applause was given Chairman Murdock and the con- ferees left confident that precipitats ts action in the convention could be pre- vented.
 Chairman Murdock said after the conference that after tomorrow's pre- liminaries he was sure the platform would be considered most of Thursday and nominations not reached until Friday.
 It was also decided to postpone open ing of tomorrow's session from Il o'clock until noon.
 George W. Perkins tonight reiter- ated his opinion that the progressive convention would not nominate a can didate until there had been time for full conference.
 We said last January" declared MT Perkins, speaking for the progressive national committee that we would have proper exchange of views with republican leaders before we attempted to nominate a candidate. Simple cour- tesy requires us to give opportunity for an exchange of views before a nomination is attempted"
 At the meeting the conferees, al- most to a man, leaped to their feet and enthusiastically applauded Mur- docks speech advocating orderly, tenn perate and deliberate conduct of the convention. A discordant note came later, however, when Prof Albert Bushnell Hart of Massachusetts urged the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt on the opening day if the delegates were so disposed and entirely in dis regard of the republican convention action
 MT. Perkins, who had planned to ad dress the conference, was unable to at tend. but William Hamlin Childs oi Brooklyn, Elon R. Hooker of New Yorl, and many others strongly urged against precipitate action
 MT. Childs counselled that the pro- sressives give the republicans every opportunity to negotiate for harmon ious action upon candidates. He also said that if it was evident that the republicans were acting unfairly, the progressves should then proceed He pointed out that the progressives could act much quicker than the republicans because of their apparent unity upon single presidential candidate.
 Chairman Murdock urged the chair men to use their influence with their delegations to insure ordinary and or dinarily" convention procedure He said the progressives should hold their meetings, as far as procedure was con- cerned upon nominations as if they were in some city other than Chicago and far removed from the republicans
 Similar sentiments were expresses by MT. Hooker, who declared MT Roosevelt's strength was growing hourly in republican ranks.

BUT ONE EIGHT

St. Louis, June GA sharp fight-the only one visible on the skyline of the coming democratic national convention is anticipated by national committeeman over an effort that is to be made to write into the partys platform an equal suffrage plank. National Chairman Mo Combs said today he had been advised that the safe suffragist host that is to wage fight for the suffrage plank at the republican convention, would appear in force at the St. Louis convention.
 Members of the committee on resolu- tions coming from suffragist states will, in all probability, the leaders say, make a fight for the incorporation of a suf- frage plank. National committeeman agree that the women suffragist leaders will be given every opportunity to make their pleas to the platform committee. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt president of the American Woman Suffrage associa- tion, with representatives from several women's organizations, are to attend the convention.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-07

democratic congressional committee, par ticipated in the discussion.
 The President, who is preparing a draft of the platform, will not complete his work until after the republican conven- tion. The tone of the document will be influenced by the action of the Chicago convention.
 Peace and prosperity will be the key note of the platform and special reference will be made to the preparedness meas ures adopted and proposed by the admin istration In the legislative achievements of the administration, chief attention will be paid to the tariff, currency, the Alas kan railroad and trade commission bills and mention will be made of the pending tariff commission, Philippines and rural credits bills.
 Senator Stone, who is slated for chair man of the platform committee, is ex- pected to confer with the President soon. Secretary Lansing will cooperate with them in the final drafting of the plank dealing with foreign affairs.
 The President received telegram to- day from James A. Bailey, chairman of the democratic managing committee of Cook county, Illinois, saying the repub- lican convention had been welcomed to Chicago by the election of the entire judi cial ticket of the democratic party in Cook county by a majority of more than 25,000.
