AID. MURRAY EXPOSES DEAL IN
18TH WARD FOR GRoGAN
Aid. Carl Murray's exposure. of the
bipartisan deal between Barney
Grogan, Democratic boss of the 18th
ward, and Homer K. Galpin and Aid.
w. J. Healy to elect Barney alder
man by putting John R. Lewis, a
nonentity, into the field against him
as Republican nominee, has aroused
a great deal of discussion west Of the
river.
Murray says the deal is part of a
frame-Up by which followers Of Gro
gan knitted John ]. TOuhy last year
in favor of Aid. Healy. Murray ap-
peals to all decent voters of all par
ties to stand back of Touhy, who is
running independently against Gro
gan this year.
Murray, in a bristling statement,
revealed the information that Lewis
is a roommate of one of BaTney's
baTtenders. Lewis, according to the
statement, was selected as the Gal
pin-Healy STRAW man." The night
before election Grogan and Galpin
ordered the Republican machine cap
.tains to drag out 10 or Is Lewis votes
in each precinct and insure his nom
nation. For this, says Murray, the
Republican captains were promised a
"cut in" on the Grogan campaign
barrel. In conclusion Murray says:

plete domination of the ward by
Grogan and 'Groganism' lies in sup

Perfect Performance


Great aswas the performance Of the Hud-
SON I'm establishing such wonderful marks,
the achievement Of the stock Chalmers
Speedster chassis was all the more wonder
full, particularly because Of its motor piston
displacement Of ia cubic In. This test Of
endurance isconcIusive evidenced the ecOn-
0myOf the small, powerful Chalmers motor.
1898 miles In ~ hOufs-tFat Is approx
mately the distance from Chicago TO Sam
Francisco.
In the first hour the Chalmers covered
SO miles; In the twenty-fourth hour over 81
miles; and for the entire distance the aver
age was 70-1/12 miles per hour.
Any engine that can travel at this terrific
speed day and night for "a hours on day
that averaged 90 degrees In temperature and
without the slightest mishap is certainly an
engine TO marvel at.

CALEDONIA COUNTY.

Mrs. Emma Taplan, wife Of the
Rev. DR.. Edward r. Fairbanks of st.
Johnsbury died Thursday after a long
illness. She was born IN Montpelier
in 1874 and was married &c Derry, NJ.
H. i'm 1852 Following their marri-
age they spent two years abroad. Her
husband was pastor in Chester one
year, going to the Congregational
church in st. Johnsbury Center IN
1868. In 1874 her husband went to
st. Johnsbury and became pastor of
the South Congregational church and
she had since lived there
What Is the Answer?
Several papers are printing a mys-
ferrous story as follows:
sfThe mysterious behavior of two
big and fast automobiles, which speed
through the streets of LyndonvlIle al
most every night shortly after mid
night, has led to much speculation
and certain residents whose susp1-
cions have been aroused are consid-
ering demanding an investigation by
the authorities. They believe that
the automobiles are part of a system
of smuggling Chinese from Canada
into the States. The village IS only
about 35 miles from the Canada line,
and it would not be a difficult matter
to spirit Chinese through there to
some rendezvous whence they might
be taken by other machines or trains
to Boston or New York. The auto
mobiles follow each other closely
through the main street, usually a
little after midnight, and are operat-
ed at high speed. They are touring
cars but the tops and side curtains
conceal any occupants. The suspicion
that Chinese are being brought in ap-
parently rests more on speculation
than anything else, but the appear
ance of big cars has been so fire.
quent and their actions so mysterious
that Lyndonville people are firmly
convinced that something is up"
