Wild Wood Demonstration
Time and time again during the
next half hour, Chairman Lodge
pounded vainly for order. Groups
of men and women in the galleries
took up the cry until the very raj

At the end of forty minutes the
din had subsided to a point where
Frank Cox of New Hampshire and
Mrs. Douglas Robinson of New
York could make their voices heard
to second the nomination.
Political managers and delegates
had visions of long session, guess

two seconding speeches of five min

that they intend to take advantage of
the wage increase 20 the miners agreed
upon in the joint wage conference at
New York last week to raise the price
of soft coal was made in statement
issued last night by the bituminous
coal operators.
''lnslstent insinuations that the BIZ
luminous coal operators, the state
ment reads, ''are to take advantage of
the y per cent wage advance to the
miners, through excessive increase Of
prices, may be put down as absolutely
groundless. The operators, who have
been under a heavy disadvantage be
cause of the recent mine strike, as we'll

back for months, are anxious to have
order re-established in the industry 81
that the public demand for soft coal
may be met
Hints of widespread exorbitant
prices about to be put on purchasers
of coal at the mines are without foun-
dation; reiterated suggestions that the
operators contemplate profiteering are
without basis of sfact. The operators
as an industry, will not countenanct
any such practice.
Operators will do all in their power
to see that prices do not go beyond
reasonable bounds. -

Form Hoover Clubs.

The suggestion made by a correspon-
dent in anothers column for the forming
of Hoover clubs throughout Vermont is
a good one and should strike a responsive
chord in the minds of all voters who-,want
to see. a fearless, taetful, energetic, COM
petent and unshackled man in the, White
House during the next four years. The
forming of ciuhssof supporters of Hoover
will go far toward making it possible
for Vermont to lend her support to the
nomination of Hoover even though our
delegates to the national convention may
go unpledged. The suggestion is urged
upon all voters, particularly, of course,
upon those who are aligned with the Re-
publican party inasmuch as Hoover is to
be candidate on that ticket, although
it seems probable that a large number of
Democrats would cast their ballots in
favor of Hoover electors should that
gentleman be the nominee of the Re-
publican party, and their support would
