DUNNETT SAYS
CHICAGO TICKET
assure WINNER
Squire" Discusses Results
of Republican COnven-
lion ut Chicago

esquire" Alexander Dunnctt, st
Jthnsbury's representative to the
National Republican convention at
Chicago and the man who won the
distinction of scronding the nominal
tion of Gov Calvin ID. Coolidge OF
Massachusetts for the vice prcsi-
tcncy, is we'll satisfied with the con-
vcntion ticket.
Although the Ncrmons delegation
t. the convention, of which MI.
Dunnett w;is chairman, voted for
Gen. Wood to the last ballot, Mr..
Dunnett said it was with the know
ledge that Senator Harding would be
nominated. He said the Vermont
delegation, when the recess was
taken on Saturday afternoon, gath
cred at the Southern Hotel and dis,
cusscd the situation. It was voted
unanimously to "swine' to Gov.
Coolidge for the presidential nomin-
alton when any movement was
started for the native Vermontcr.
Up to that time it was decided to re-
main for Wood.
esquire" Dulnctt returned home
imnrovcd in health and happy that
he had taken part in the big convcn-
ton. Speaking of Senator Harding
ne said today:
"Whilc Harding is not so we'll
known nationally as some others due
to the fact that he has done nothing
extraordinary, he is Il sound and
solid man of presidential type of Nc
Kinley. l believe he will be elected
and that he will make great
president. l heard his speech before
tic Chicago convention in 1912 and
lie was the shining light of that as
scmbly. | do not believe there will
BE- any party bolt.
"The johnson supporters worked
hardest to turn us from Wood. They
threatened a .oartv bolt and about
everything els e but we were assured
by some of the California leaders af-
ter the nomination of Harding that
the State would be turned to Hard
ing.
"The best speech of the convention
to my mind was made by the late
Co.. Roosevclt's sister. Mrs. Robin
son. Her voice carried to all parts
OF the great auditorium, the material
of her speech was well chosen and
she spoke just long enough. She
made a wonderful impression. The
other nominating speeches were a
j.! disappointment.
"Will T. Abbott, a former ST.
Jehnsbury boy, now of Illinois was a
delegate to the convention and work
cd very hard Tor Gov. Lowdcn. In
spite of the fact that he was a Low
icn worker the nomination of Hard
nr did not displcase him.
"Wood's candidacy was greatly in
u.cd by the fact that he entered the
primaries against 'favorite sons.
These candidates were not disposed
% turn their votes to Wood.
81 believe the platform a sound,
solid document upon which the Re-
publican party can win. | believe
he Democrats will make their fight
With McAdoo as their leader"
esquire" Dunnctt made the return
rip via Montreal and said he enjoy
"a the hospitality of the Canadians
lftcr the hot session at Chicago.

SQUIRE DUNNETT AN IMPRESS
SIVE LEADER
(B;llrc TimcS)

Squire Alex. Dunnctt of st. Johns
bury was the proper man for chair
mar of the Vermont delegation to
the Republican national convention,
and the other delegates so recognized
it. That tall, towering pile sur
mounted by skull cap must have
made rather impressive leader.

These are times when the steam

4 PIONEER PASSES

y
Garfield county lost one of her pion-
ser citizens with the passing early
Wednesday morning Of Andrew Dow
at his home in North Glenwood.
For several months his health has
been failing, and the end was not al.
together unexpected. .-..
Andrew Dow was born in Perthshire.
Scotland, in lS46. He came to Ameri-
ca in 1858, locating in Iowa. In 1879
he journeyed to the Great West locat-
ing in Leadville, during the palmy
days of that great mining camp. But
Mr.. Dow was partial to rural life, and
as the excitement and speculative
spirit Of the mining camp did not ap-
peal to him, he came to Garfield coun-
ty in 1886, and located on a ranch on
Garfield creek, which has since borne
the title he gave it, Glengar Ranch.
In 1884 his sister, Annie, came to
America to share his labors and pros
perity. On her arrival he greeted her
with the words, "you have come, Sis, !"
and from that time on they have been
almost constant companions, working
together for common purpose. They
developed an excellent ranch, but the
work finally proved too heavy for Mr..
Dow, and his sister, through much per-
suasion, induced him to leave the ranch
and come to Glenwood where they
might in greater comfort enjoy the
fruits of their labors This move was
made March Is, 1915, at which time
they built their beautiful home
"spring Bank" in North Glenwood,
under their own architectural plans.
Even after coming to Glenwood Mr..
Dow could not be satisfied to relin-
quish his activities, and he has great
ly improved his property by his own
hands.
Andrew Dow had the Scotchman IS
proverbial thrift and shrewdness, and
a spirit Of public enterprise in accord
ance with the most admired tendencies
of American progress and development.
Mr.. Dow has always led a consistent
Christian life and has been regarded
by all who knew him, a. . mes.
worthy and exemplary citizen. He 70
survived sy ole brother, Rev. Peter
Dow, and his sister, Miss Annie.
