THIS IS WAR DAY
At STATE CAPITOL
Gov. Graham Before Joint
Assembly Urged Appro-
priatiOn of Million
EXPECT MONEY WILL
BE VOTED TOMORROW
That Part of His Address Pertaining to
Military Department and the Duty of
the Hour Struck Responsive Chord
in the Legislative Body.
Especial to The Reformer.l
MONTPELIER, March p


This is war day at the capitol.
Gov. Graham s address to the legis-
lature was the big event of the after
noon. The full membership of the house
1and senate was present in the Joint as
sembly and the galleries were crowded
with interested spectators.
When the Governor came to the point
where he advocated an appropriation Of
at least 81 100000 as war emergency
fund there was an enthusiastic demon
stration, and his plea for Vermont to do
her part, and for those who stay at home
to help-the farmer by increasing his
acreage and the mechanic by increasing
his hours-a responsive chord was
struck.
The governor s remarks in regard to
state tax, date of adjournment and 9th
er subjects We're followed intently, but
not with the fervor which characterized
the reception Of that part of his address
pertaining to the military department
and the duty Of the hour.
The talk in the corridors is ringing
with patriotism. 1t is believed that the
Sl,000,0G0 which the governor asked
for viii be voted promptly, probably to-
morrow night.
The action Of the executive commit
tee of State Board of Public Safety here
Yesterday is heartily approved. 4 meet
ing of the full committee of 30 prOmi-
nent men has been called FOR Friday
afternoon at o'clock in the reception
room of the state house
(The governor S address is printed in
full on page 6 OF The Reformer.)
