Ing to Barre some time Monday. Az
he became worse. his arm becoming

nosed his case as infantile paralysis.
When It was ascertained that this d.
agnosis was correct. the health officer
In this city was communicated with,
and the above precautions were at once

That the child contracted the disease
while in Barre there is not the shadow
OF doubt, as he was Ill upon his ar
rival here. Whether any Of those who
attended the meeting Of the Salvation

Words Through the Free Press to
Vermont Friends.
Fort Ethan Allen, VT,
August "a. 1917.
To the Editor of tho Free Press:

On the eve Of departure for new fields
Of activity there comes over us a feeling
Of sadness at the prospect OF separation
from my good friends of the State of Ver-
mont. The acquaintance formed in 1894
when was adjutant Of the first garrison
to occupy the post at Fort Ethan Allen.
and renewed twenty years later. In 1914.
is now to be interrupted again for an in
definite period.
There is some consolation for me In the
fact that whatever may betide. the mem
Org Of the unfailing Kindness. courtesy.
and consideration accorded can never be
obliterated, but will remain with me al
ways; and there is also the hope that
when these strenuous times are over
may be- able to come back and be a full
fledged citizen Of the Green Mountain
State.
As am unable to see all my friends in
the short time available I take this means
Of expressing my gratitude and Of say
II ing Goodbye" wishing for all Of them
good health and happiness.
Faithfully yours.

Boise, Idaho.-Senator Borah
was not invited to come into Idaho
to deliver talks in the interest of
the Non-partisan league, w. G.
Scholtz, editor of the Non-partisan
Leader, said Tuesday Of last week.
"Senator Borah spoke before.
the national conference at St. Paul,
but so did many other men in
public life," Scholtz declared.
"But his appearance at St. Paul
did not pledge. the senator to
support the league, or the league
to support. the senator.
"There never has been anything
said between Senator Borah and
the league leaders in the state TO
my knowledge Of series OF talks,
and his appearance here at this
time is matter with which we
have nothing to do. 4
"At the present time there is no
organization within the league that
could pledge support to Senator
Borah, and there will not be until
next summer, when the farmers
convene in their convention.
Scholtz was asked if the league
would support the senator in the
event that he decided to become a
candidate for the senate to succeed
himself.
81 don't know" he replied.
"The members of the league will
have to decide that question next
summer. At the present time we
are supporting no one"
Later Mr.. Scholtz says his atti-
tude toward Senator LaFollette
has been misunderstood.
He declared Friday that he did
not wish to be placed in the posi-
tion of defending the Wisconsin
senator if something of treasona.
BILE nature was uttered by LaFol.
lette at St Paul which he did not
catch.
Scholtz attended the St. Paul
conference of the Non-partisan
league. He insists that he wished
to defend the actions of the organ
lization, rather than those ol
LaFollette.
81 left the meeting before The
/ Wisconsin senator had finished
speaking" said Scholtz. 81 had
to hurry to catch a train If La
4 Toilette did make reasonable
utterances he should be dealt with
accordingly, but | did not hear any
while listening to his talk"
