DEMOCRATS MAKE.
Continued from Page ~

For high bailiff, William B. Warren of
Halifax. s.
There was some talk of placing the
name of Harold T. Whitney, Republican,
of BrattIeboro on the ticket as candi-
date for states attorney, thereby en-
dorsine his candidacy on the Republican
ticket, but it was decided finally that it
would be better not to go outside the
party for candidates. so that office will
be left blank on the ballots so far as the
committee is concerned, there being no
Democratic attorney in, the county who
wants the office.
The committee was under the impress
sion that was not necessary to file the
nominations with tire county clerk until
about Sept /, which would have been
correct under the old law, and it was
acting under that assumption, but in con
versation last night with a member Of
The Reformer stof the fact was brought
out that the law has been changed and
that under the present law Aug. ID is
the last day for filing nominations for
state, county and congressional offices.
This makes it necessary for the commit
tee to hustle to get the signatures and
get the petition filed in the next two
days.
At the last session of thes legislature
Sec. l07 of the General Laws was
amended to read as follows:
Sec. lO7. Primary petitions; time of
filing. Primary petitions to be filed with
the secretary of state or county clerk
shall be filed not less than 80 days before
the date of the primary, except as pro-
vided in the second preceding section.
Primary petitions to be filed with the
town clerks shall be filed not less than
IA days before the primary
The clause except as provided in the
second preceding section" refers to cases
where voter signs two or more conflict
ing petitions, in which cases course of
procedure is provided.

Agan criticizes Hartness.

EAST WALLINGFORD, Aug. 10
Frank w. Agan of Ludlow, candidate
for the Republican nomination for gov
ernor, was the principal speaker here
last night at the lawn party given by
the women of the Baptist church. A
big attendance was on hand, the crowd
being estimated at between 400 and
500 People motored from Wallingford,
Shrewsbury, Mount Holly and other
nearby towns.
Mr.. Agan departed from his usual
talk to some extent to devote atten-
ton to the industrial program of James
Hardness of Springfield, one of his
rivals for the nomination. Mr.. Agan
declared the Hardness plan of building
up the state industrially was fine
one theoretically but one which would
not work out in actual practice. Mr..
Agan s remarks along this line were
we'll received by the big crowd.
He reiterated his statement of posi-
ton relative to the modification of the
Volstead act and discussed good roads,
90 the little red schoolhouse' and other
pertinent issues of the campaign.

ROAD MEN STRIKE.
Demand Increase of so Cents A Day
For Nine Hours.

BENNINGTON, Aug. 13.-Work on
the permanent highway on Main street.
for which the village at its annual meet
ing March appropriated 100000, is be-
ing delayed through strike OF laborers
who have made a demand for an in
crease of wages and who refuse to re-
turn to the job until it is granted.
When the contract was made with c.
D. Lindholm of Pittsfeld Mass, for
the Main street work the trustees re-
quested that he undertake to ascertain
how many local laborers could be Sc
cured and that Bennington men be
given a preference. To this the con-
tractor agreed and on the preliminary
work such as the excavation for the
concrete curbing he has hired no
strangers.
Yesterday morning the entire gang
on the excavation work refused to 90
to work unless each man was paid an
increase i'll wages of 80 cents day.
This the contractor has refused to do.
The men have been paid the same
wages, so cents an hour, as laborers en-
ployed by the village street depart
ment. Men in the employ of the vii
lage work but eight hours while the
contractor desires nine-hour day. The
men who struck demanded a fiat in
crease of 80 cents for nine hours.

Better Opportunities
REFUSES TO STATE
CAMPAIGN EXPENSES
Will Give No Public Statement Until
Required by Law Using Money
Made in Industry-only Candidate
Promising Increased Revenues.

BURLINGTON, Aug. 13.-James
Hardness of Springfield, candidate for
the Republican nomination for the
governorship, speaking at the third in
the series of gubernatorial lunches, un-
der the auspices of the Burlington
chamber of commerce yesterday empha-
sized the part which industries would
play in increasing the value of Vermont
farms and markets for Vermont pro-
duets. ~
Mr.. Hartness declared that at the
present time people are migrating from
Vermont to other states that they may
have greater opportunities. Vermont
needs to awake to this situation and
furnish larger opportunities here at
home which will hold the Vermont
boys in this state.
He further declared the matter of
roads, schools, agriculture and several
other matters being taken up by other
candidates in campaign speeches are
already being well taken care of IN
this state He said that he was in
sympathy with the expression of the
other candidates in regard to these
matters and that it was therefore use
less to discuss them in his talk.
Mr.. Hardness declared that the other
candidates have brought forward no
plan for increasing the revenue of the
state, and that he proposed to bring
more money into Vermont, without in
creasing the present high tax rate, by
bringing in more industries. Mr.. Hart
ness took up at some length a discus
sion of the labor problem, declaring
that organized labor, if rightly dealt
with, win aid rather than handicap the
establishing of correct relationship be-
tween employees and employers.
In few closing remarks Mr.. Hart
ness took up the question of campaign
finances. He said that he was labor
ing under a criticism of not announc-
ing his expenses in the campaign. "The
money that | am spending in this cam
paign,' declared Mr.. Hartness, "is
earned in this industry about which L
have been speaking. | am using it to
put this subject before the people of
Vermont - Mr.. Hartness explained
that owing to lack of space the papers
could not publish all sides of the ques-
ton and that he proposed to place the
facts throughout the state so far as
he could
"The people are entitled to know
all the facts. / have yet to turn in my
