SAN FRANCISCO. June 2s.--
The movement 10 nominate VIII

impetus thru several occurrences
shortly before the democratic
national convention opened to-
day.
Several cabinet officers openly
began campaigning for the for
mer secretary Of the treasury and
reports spread that President
Wilson had finally decided 10 let
Il be known that McAdoo was his
choice. Supporters Of Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer
sought frsnticaily 10 get denial
from the White House.
Among the members Of the presi.
dents official family who began 10
pass the word that "McAdoo is the
man" were Postmaster General
Burieson. Secretary Of State Colby
and Secretary OF Agriculture Mere

like a mailman. for he chased

he chased King Ahariah and
caught him and had him smi,ten.

Leland Powers

An audience which nearly filled the
Town Hall Friday evening saw Leland
Powers in his presentation of Robert
sons old English comedy, David Gar
rick. Mr.. Powers has retained a
few traces of his recent illness but
nothing has marred his magnificent art.
His rendering Friday lacked none of
those elements which have elevated
him to the highest point of attainment
in his profession
After dwelling for moment upon the
nature and place in literature of the
play he was about to give, Mr.. Powers,
following a brief introduction by Prof.
Charles B. Wright, proceeded to hold
the audience under the spell of his art
for upwards of an hour and half.
Under the magic of his voice and ges-
ture, character after character took its
place upon the stage as vividly and
completely as in real life. The versatil-
ity OF the artist was no more clearly
shown than in his presentation of the
animated scenes involving the irate
hnancier, Ingot, and his drunken neph-
ew, though this gained little in compar-
ison with the riotous scene in the for
mer's home during the second act.

MTDD POSTPONES
BASEBALL

The weather man has two victories
to his credit against Middlebury Col
lege Baseball Nine He conquered first
when ne pitched the winds of Lake
Champlain against the ST. Michaels
nine, scheduled to play here last Satur-
day, April H. The visitors had to
send in a plea of unpreparedness due
to lack of practice facilities. Then to-
day local rains worked as a battery
against the team Old Jupe Pluvius
prolonged his visit to Addison County
several hours too much. If he had gone
about his business after a liberal
sprinkling of Porter Field yesterday,
then Midd would probably have call
ed the crouch off. But instead of send
ing the sun to repair the damage done
he hangs around another day just to
give us the laugh. Who can blame the
nine for being a little mite peeved and
for losing their composure? A double
win would have sent them on that
southern trip with plenty of pep and
confidence. And to think that Coach
Crowell had the whole game studied
out. batteries and batting order, the
early morning alarm for rolling and
raking the diamond and field, and
everything, with a little friendly wager
OF his own. But it was not to be.
On Tuesday the team will start
south On April 2S Seton Hall will be
the opponent, at South Orange, n ].
Then Thursday they will go to Camp
Dix to cross bats with the nine there.
Rutgers College at New Brunswick, N.
J. is on the schedule for Saturday,

Those who will make the trip include
Christian, Jenne, Timberman, Stock

NEW ROAD TO VERGENNES

A permanent road from New Haven
Junction to Vergennes is planned by
the District Highway Commission.
Specifications which include a water
bound macadam or gravel surface are
still in the Office of the state engineer.
1t is hoped to begin operations very
soon.
One hundred and thirty miles of
county highways are now under patrol,
with prospects of several more patrols
being added during the summer. As
1t is' 1920 plans are considerably ahead
of any previous district road conserva-
ton project.
Spring work is proceeding satisfac-
torily on all the main roads of the
county. Last years patrols, by con-
slant attention, have rendered the
spring clean up comparatively easy.

tion. This was the first time that the
degree was exemplified in Bellows Falls.
After the comforting of the degrees,
the two hundred and fifty delegates,
including the newly initiated, attended
solemn benediction in St Charles
church. At s O'Clock a banquet was

Mr.. Cady was reluctant to go into
details about himself He bases his
campaign on his record solely, that to
be his platform. Everybody in the
county knows me and what | have
done My campaign rests there prn-
cipally" he told The Register in max
ing the announcement.
During a lifelong residence in Mid
dlebury his fellow townsmen have con-
ferred on him many offices of trust.
He was connected with the school sys-
TEN in triple capacity, eleven years
as director, eight years as superinten-
dent and a term as commissioner to
examine the Normal Schools. For
thirteen years he served as selectman.
In 1906 the town sent him to the State
Assembly. His wide knowledge of agri-
cultural problems merited for him the
office of Chairman of the Commission
of Agriculture and President of the
Farmers Association of the Legislature.
A dozen years of service with the state
Grange as overseer and master have

Grange he now holds.
He has represented the state on i'm

gress of Governors called by President
Roosevelt Under Governor Prouty he
served on the commission to suggest
amendments to the Constitution o.
Vermont. During the trying days of
the war he rendered faithful service as
a member of the District Draft Board
Several weeks ago when Mr. Cady's
candidacy seemed probable, the editor
of The Register had this to say in his
regard Though most widely known
as a Grange man, Mr. Cady is better
known locally as just a plain all
around citizen, conservative, clear
thinking and capable of leadership of
Others along such paths. If given the
opportunity to represent the town and

would be graced by an able and con-
scientious spokesman"
