of the states has not died and Mr..
Warren is reawakening the public
conscience on the vital principle OF
q decentralized government. The
business interests are pleased with
his contention for an amortization
over a period of years of the tax
burden accruing from the world war.
Labor and the other progressive ele-
ments of the state are pleased with
his liberal principles as annunciated
in his platform.
To sum up: It appears certain
that Mr.. Warren will be in the sec
ond race with Senator Smith, with
Mr.. Pollock and Mr.. Irby running a
dead heat for third place, with the
chances slightly in favor of the for
mer, who has lost many votes on his
stand for and vote on the Susan B.
Anthony amendment.
Men who are thoroughly familiar
with existing political conditions
freely are predicting that if Mr..
Warren gets in the second race with
Senator Smith-which now appears
certain he will defeat him. It is esti-
mated that the senior senator will
DOLL practically his full strength in
the first ballot. In the second race
it is estimated that Mr. Warren will
receive the full Irby vote and ma
jority of the Pollock vote.

friends predicted, although he IS ex

for past political services. Wllllan

Labor is not at all satisfied witt

French Children Study Their Lessons

Children Of Laon, in the devastated

do, with their books under their arms,
each thin little youngSter staggers

French children are studying without

France.
For blackboards the bare walls are
used. Charcoal or bits Of chalk from

ANTI-SUFFRAGIST CASTS
FIRST WOMAN VOTE
Mrs. A. W. Dickens Opposed Suffrage
But Intends to Use Ballot

Mrs. A. w. Dickens was the first
woman in Middlebury to vote, per
haps the first in the entire County to
cast a ballot She was checked in the
first minute after noon and was check
ed out at 1904 Miss Lucy Hincks
assistant Town Clerk, was the second
of her sex to avail herself of her OPP
portunity to square UP with menfolks
closely followed by her sister Miss
Margaret Both Mrs Dickens and
Miss Lucy Hincks failed to appreciate
the opportunity of having their pic
ture taken in the use of their emanci-
patton and baked unmistakingly when
asked by The Register to pose for the
camera.
Mrs. Dickens had ever been uncom-
promising in her attitude against
equal suffrage. Nevertheless she was
the first to use the ballot, saying that
since women were permitted to vote
they should not consider it lightly but
should regard it as a duty toward the
community. She voted on the Repub-
lican ticket
Miss Lucy Hincks cast a Republican
vote Tuesday but declared that she
intends to be independent in politics
and use the vote as she sees fit, not
according to the dictation OF another
She did not deny that she was serious
" considering the merits of the Demo
cratic party to which her brother and
her employer are affiliated.
The Board of Civil Authority had
set up the machinery of the primary
so well that not a cog slipped. The
women who desired instruction in vot-
ing were we'll accommodated by a
special committee that held session
in the basement of the hall And in
side the sanctuary of the polls every
thing was made as easy as possible
The smiles of the listers and checkers
perhaps may have Quoted the nerves
OF the fair sex and allayed their fears
as much as anything'else. 1t was noted
that the chairman hesitated to strike
too heavily with his gavel in the pres
ence of the ladies and let several delay
to gossip inside the charmed CIRCLE
rather than annoy them by a rap for
order And it was always the same
answer to the same question as the
women breathed with relief the fresh
air at the exits. We'll, how did you
like it," ooh. it wasn't so hard after
alp. NO, that's what thought"
