FOR SENATORSHIP
Grafton Man Announces His Candidacy
Representative in Last Legislature
and That of 1896.

Editor of The Reformer:-
If / succeed in securing the necessary
number of names for my petition, | ex-
pect to become candidate at the pri-
mary in September for nomination on
the Republican ticket for senator from
Windham county.
7 have had the experience of two
sessions as representative, in 1896 and
at the last session of the legislature. /
am in favor of the ratification of the
prohibitory amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States; of ade-
quate provision for our men at the front
and their families, and of all measures
calculated to benefit the state of Yer
mont and her people.
/ am in favor of short session of the
legislature. Having at great expense Sc
cured the Revised Statutes, - it would
seem the part of wisdom to avoid un
necessary legislation.
Two years ago both of the senators
from Windham county came from thu
southern part. The town of Grafton

from my friends and, if successful

NEW TRUCKS FOR
STREET CARS HERE
Are Of Non-Teetering Style and Cars
Will Make Less Noise-Will Be
Put Under the New Cars.

Two new sets of trucks to replace
those now in use under the street cars
bought last year arrived yesterday and
We're taken to the Pine street car barn,
where the transfer will take place as
soon as the employees of the company
-can do the work, but it is not expected
that they will be in commission for two
or three weeks.
The new trucks are heavier than those
now in use and have full elliptic instead
of semi-eliptic springs. They also are
of the non-teetering style and have a
longer wheel base.
A representative of the Taylor Elec-
| tric Truck company of Troy, n. Y,
through whom the new trucks were or
dered five weeks ago, was in Erattle-
boro about the time the order was given
| taking measurements and giving instruc-
tions regarding the way in which to
place the cars on the trucks and it is ex
pected that the local repair men will bC
able to make the change with the aiC
of the blue print which the representa-
tive has furnished.
When it is proven that the new truck
have been adjusted properly the new ear
viii be in use at all times and parts o
the three old trucks will be interchange
so as to make one good truck for us
under the spare ear.
1t is expected that the noise made b,
the cars will be diminished greatly b,
the installation of the new trucks.
