Jacob George Ullcry of Brattleboro,
former newspaper publisher and always
loyal Democrat, is candidate for the
position Of national bank examiner left
vacant by the death of James II. Kelle-
her of Montpelier. 1t is a well-ground-
ed suspicion that Mr.. Ullery is very ia
miliar with the banking business, at
least from the standpoint of the large
depositor. With his large and varied
business experience and natural acumen
he would soon acquire familiarity with
the inside workings of the financial in
situations.

thirty-third degree Mason, one of the
few in this state to receive this Scot
fish Rite degree, Mr.. Haskins was n
well known figure in Vermont life and
man who enjoyed the esteem and
confidence of his fcllowmen to marked
degree. A likable man, with n pleasing
personality, who had the happy facul-
ty of making friends and keeping

Home Team Again Victorious.

The home team pulled off another
victory here Saturday, defeating Lon

better than the score would indicate
The home team made all its runs in the
first two innings and the visitors made
their score in the third. After that
neither team was able to do much at the
bat, but put up fine game in the
field. Moore pitched in the best of
form, allowing but four scattered hits,
walking none and hitting but one. He
deserved shut-out, and but for one
error he would have received it.
Next week the home team will go to
Londonderry, whore a good game is ex-

Pennsylvania, Illinois and Califor-
mia are in the good-natured contest
to see which States will have the hon
or of rolling up the biggest plurality
for Hughes. Each one of these three
States is due to give Hughes up
wards of 100000 plurality, and some
think California will bear off the rec
ord and others think Illinois will wear
the banner-but | lay my money on
the old Keystone State. Pennsylvania
is due to give Hughes somewhere be-
tween quarter of a million and a
half million plurality. When women
get the ballot all over the land,-as
they will, in my judgment, inside of
six years and possibly by 1920,-Penn
sylvania will be able to get up toward
the million mark in rolling up Repub-
llcan pluralities!
Indiana Surely Safe for Hughes
Indiana is just as sure to go fol
Hughes by a good safe plurality as
the full moon is to rise over Monu-
ment Circle in Indianapolis tonight!
The sentiment of the State is with
Hughes and Fairbanks; it is a Pro-
lection State, and, after eight years
of Democratic State government they
are ripe for a change all along the
line,-and, last but least lndiana's
Republican organization is the most
efficient organization any party ever
had in any State in the Union.
I'll set down the other States I've
been in with the pluralities | think
they are likely to turn i'm on election

HUGHES SURE TO WIN
Says Political PrOphet-HOward ID.
Hadley, New York Newspaper
Man, Gives His Opinion Of
Political Trend in State
and Nation.
(By Howard ID. HadleyD

In an earnest effort to ascertain the
political sentiment throughout the
country have travelled over $4,000
miles in the last seven months, through
thirty-four states writing national pol
itics and it is my firm belief that Chas.
Evans Hughes will be elected Presi-
dent of the United States on the 9TH
of November next.
In fact, | am more and more in
clined TO think, as the days go bv,
that President Wilson will be lucky
IL he carries much more than the
solid" South, which. by the way, isn't
as solid as once it was.
1t looks to me as tho Hughes would
get at least 346 electoral votes and
possibly 1856. The only really doubt
full States are Kentucky, Maryland,
Montana, Nevada, Colorado, Okla
homa, Missouri and possibly OHIO, al
though | believe the chances In almost
every one of these States is more or
less in favor of Hughes.
Two weeks ago | thought Ohio
might be very close, but information
which has come to me within the past
three days leads me to believe Hughes
will carry Ohio by upwards of 10000.
New England is solid for Hughes,
although Connecticut for a time gave
the Republican leaders some concern.
Confident of New York
New York | speak of with the ut
most confidence because I've lived In
that States all my life and know poll
teal conditions there from one end
r the State to the other. There is
no chance, no reasonable chance to
keep Hughes plurality In the Empire
State below 100000. Personally | be-
lieve he-will carry it by at least 1885,
OO0 and probably by nearer 100000
Hughes carried New York State twice
as a candidate for Governor under pc
culiarly difficult conditions. - and he
ia much stronger in his home State
now than ever before.
Hughes will carry New Jersey, Will
sons home, by upwards of 10000 plu-
rality. The recent primary elections
in that state demonstrated that the Re-
publicans and Progressives are thor
oughly united in New Jersey, as they
are in practically every State, by the
way.-whereas the Democrats are
woefully weak,-Wilson himself beinP
