Brattleboro, Nov "A young buck
deer jumped in front of Maj. Linn d.
Taylor's automobile Tuesday night as
he was driving towards Newfane from
Townshend with Frank +. Howe and
Congressman Porter II. Dale. who had
addressed a rally in Townshend The
party had reached point short dis
tance south of Salmon Hole ridge
when the animal suddenly appeared,
attracted by the lights of the machine.
Mai. Taylor did his best to stop the
machine, but as the deer sprang aside
the left wheel and spring struck the
animal and ran over him
He was evidently badly injured.
There was no knife of sufficient size
and strength in the party with which
the animal might be put out of his
misery, so they lifted him into the ton
neau, where he occupied a place OF
honor with the two distinguished sons
OF Vermont and rode in state to New
fame
There they aroused Game Warden
George p. Alexander and gave the
animal into his keeping. Mr.. AleXan-

and disposed of the carcass for SO.
Trere will be a game supper in New
fame in the near future.

One Kind Of Citizens

New York, Nov. 4.-Theodore Roose
velt, speaking at a mass-meeting in
Cooper union last night, denounced
the policies of the Wilson administra-
tion and urged his audience to put in
the presidential chair the clean and
upright justice OF the supreme court,
and fearless former governor of New

been that of man Straightforward in
his thought and courageous in his ac-
tiOns, who cannot be controlled to do
what is wrong and who will do what
is right no matter what influences
may be brought against him" The
former president broke away from his
speech which he had perpared in ad-
vance, to say what he thought of the
so-called "hyphenates." He declared
that although Washington and Lin
coin were OK English blood, they were
both Americans through and through
No American can be a good Ameri-
can on a fifty-fifty basis" said Mr.
Roosevelt. There is no room in this

Mr.. Roosevelt, in referring to Sec
retary of war Bakers's recent alleged
comparison of Washingons soldiers
