DO NOT EXPECT GRAHAM

Il Is Believed That He Will Make An.
nouncement TO This Effect Be-
fore Long.

The following Is a communication
to the St Adams Messenger on the
governor situation:

ham was not at the state house to-
day and no statement could be OBJ
tanned at the capitol regarding the
governors intentions In the coming
campaign Governor Graham had
been scheduled TO 60 to Sheldon to-
day TO attend get-together picnic
Of the boards Of trade and similar or
CARNATIONS Of Franklin county, but
owing to heavy rain fall in the north
ern part OF the state the managers of
the affair telephoned to the governor
in Craftsbury this morning not to
make the trip.
Among those who follow the politi-
cal situation closely 1t is fe that
Governor Graham will not be candi-
date for reelection. II is further felt
that he will make an announcement
to this effect before long Throughout
the state the assumption is general
that he will not enter the field and
the political situation is generally be-
ing considered on this basis
The present outlook is that the gov
ernorship nomination contest in the
Republican party will be waged be-
tween Judge Darling, OF Burlington,
and former Lieutenant Governor
4 Howe, OF Bennington. Judge Darling
I has been known to be candidate for
many months. The feeling has been
+ expressed that the Judge looks TO the
Boyernorship as stepping stone to
the United States Senate when va
cancy Is caused in the chair now oc
! cupied by Senator Page. II Is noted
with interest that Mr.. Howe declares
In his statement, made public in Ben
( nington today, that he will not use
the office or his time while holding
the governorship. II elected to 1t, tC
further any future political ambit
lon:.
Il is said that Judge Darling's pro
posed candidacy has not met will
much spontaneous enthusiasm. Som,
students Of the situation declare tha
Mr.. Howe has received many promis
es of support from all sections OF tn,
state and predict that he will make
most formidable candidate agains
tho field
There has been no little specula
ton whether a candidate would com
out OF Lamoille county either In Sec
retaiy of State Fleetwood or Lieuter
ant Governor Hulburd, but clos
friends OF each of these men say tina
} neither will be candidate at thi
time. 1t is recognized that eithe
would make a good contest for tn
: nomination.

THE SCOUT HIKE

About 25 boys, led by Scout Mas
ter H. A. Davies, hiked to Lake Weir
Wednesday morning, leaving Ocala at
$3.50 and arriving at their destination
at 7:30. They walked to Belleview
and rode the rest of the way.
Thursday evening Assistant Scout
Master Patsey Gillen and John
Strunk motored down on their bicy-
cles to visit them. They found all the
boys enjoying themselves except two
or three who looked like Indians and
if touched would holler like them,
too, on account of their intense SUM-
burn.
Most of the boys slept under lean
tos, but the society bunch," not be-
ing satisfied with such a rustic mode
of living, set out to find some better
means of shelter. Ernest Beaton
discovered a usable bath house and
here they put up They christened it
the "Eat More and Sleep Less" hotel,
since they ate more and slept less
than the rest of the boys. As Ernest
had discovered it, he was Immediate
ly chosen proprietor, and as Josselyn
Moorhead got badly sunburned the
first day out and had to stick closer
to bed than the rest, he acted as head
clerk and registered the following: ::
Charley Hardee, Herman Clayton,
Clark Berry, Reese Hunnicutt, Lind
sey Troxler, John Strunk and Patsey
Gillen. The last two were honorary
guests of the others at the hotel, and
were given a splendid reception.
Sometimes the menu was not
dainty and varied enough to suit
these high-toned fellows and they
would hike out pp to the stnre and
buy such dainties as their delicate
appetites called for. Once the camp
coffee was about to faint, this bunch
"built" some coffee strong enough to
pull freight train.
Some of thesl meals were saltless;
evidently the cook did not know what
salt was for. The mosquitoes were
pretty lad at times and using modern
warfare methods the boys would gas
them.
Fridays menues were as follows
breakfast, two fried eggs, grits, soda
crackers, and coffee; dinner, roast
beef, pork and beans, grits and
coffee; supper. pork and beans, grits
again, coffee and bread. Most of the
meals were similar to the above, once
in a while as side dish they had
pickles or jelly.
The scout bugler, Wilford Harold,
was on the job and did justice to his
part. All the boys took turn either as
cook or guard.
"Old Glory" was displayed on the
waterfront in front of the camp.
Every morning otter breakfast it
| was hoisted and every evening low
cred.
To pass away their time the follow
ing things were indulged in: bath
ing, fishing, boating, frequent visits

RAILROAD RATES
MUST BE RAISED
In Order to Meet the Increased SalaE-
les Granted to the
Operatives
tAssociated Press)

Washington, May 27-To meet the
wage increases just announced and
higher costs of coal and other sup
plies, Director General McAdoo today
ordered railroad rates in the United
States raised 20 per cent and passen-
ger fares increased to three cents a
mile from the present basis of about
two and half cents. The estimated
program will bring between seven and
eight cents, the greatest rate increase
in the history of the railroads.

A JUST INCREASE

General pay increases for nearly
100000 railroad employees were an
nounced yesterday by Director Gen
eral McAdoo, effective next Saturday
and retroactive to last January 1,

mendations of the railroad wage COM
mission. The aggregate of the in
creases probably will be more than
$500, 100000 year, half of which will
be distributed within a few weeks as
back pay in lump sums ranging from
about 500 to nearly $500 each.

AGAIN THE GERMANS
: ARE ASSA|L|NG
Pushing Forward on Two Lines in
Hope of Capturing the Channel
Ports and Paris
ASSOCIATED Press)

Germany has resumed the drive
for a decision on the western front,
striking in the south between Rheims
and Scissors and Flanders on the
northerly side of the Lys salient.
While too early for the true German
tintention to be disclosed. an effort
is apparently beng made simultan-
eously to push through to the channel
ports, thus breaking the British front,
and strike for Paris in the south. The
Somme region in the direction of
Amiens is neglected in this new
thrust. The indications are that
General Foch, the allied commander,
was not caught unawares.

to Oklawaha and East Lake, and any
thing else that popped into their
minds worth doing.
About $50 Friday evening camp
was cleaned up and by Z o'clock they
were ready to start for home They
hiked as far as Belleview and rode the
remainder of the way in Mr.. Davies
car and the trailer. All were in town
by IL O'Clock, merry as larks, foot
store and tanned with sunburn, but
ready to go next week if the word
was given.
Many thanks are extended Mr.. Da>

hike, for the trouble, time and ex-
pense he went to, planning and sue

THE LAW MAKERS
Asks that Congress Go Ahead with
War Taxation Program
Immediately
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, May 27.-The presi-
dent addressed a joint session of
Congress at 1 o'clock today on the
subject of war revenues.
TOOK CHARGE OF THE TANGLE
The president took charge of the
war tax Legislation tangle today, ap-
.pearing Unexpectedly at joint ses-
sion Of Congress, and declared it was
necessary to proceed Immediately
with new war tax laws. He said there
was no way in which to meet the prob
lem of financing the war except for
Congress to remain in session and go
ahead at once. The principal increases
in taxation, he said, should be on in
comes, war profits and luxuries. 1t
would be manifestly unfair, he said,
to wait until 1919 before determining
what the new taxes would be.
