ct would be from the Associated Press
at his home. The governor left his
newspaper Office in the city before
the e-presidential nomination was
made and the office had forgotten TO
telephone him the result.
The governor admitted that he was
not intimately acquainted with Mr..
Roosevelt, but declared him to be a
vigorous, upstanding,S . courageous
and progressive democrat,
He commented particularly on two
addresses made by the vice-presiden-
tial candidate-one before the Demo-
cratic National Committee in Chicago
last winter and another in Dayton.
He said Mr.. Roosevelt's service in
Washington has given him wide ex-
perience and a wide acquaintance.
He said he would make no plans for
the campaign until he had had an op-
portunity to confer with party leaders
most of whom will not get back from
San Francisco until the latter part Of
the week.

'Mst.
The big tent was we'll filled Tues
day night att he first evening enter
tainment of the week and most en-
joyable and profitable Vnroqram was
rendered. The Madrgals gave a most
UNIQUE program, Miss Edith Mar
shall being the star of the trio. Her
repertoire included brilliant execu-
ton on the xylophone, the musical
Tyre and the Swiss bells and it was
keen disappointment to the audience
that the company could not respond
to the encore after Miss Marshall
had piven "The Lost Chord" on the
sweet toned bells. The Tyre was dis
tinctly new instrument on st.
Johnsbury stage and Miss Marshall
played it with wonderful sweetness.
Miss Cappuccio played the violin
with much ability and Miss Eva
NJ. Pike has a sweet and winsome
soprano voice.
DR.. Alexander Cairns Of Newark,
N. j., is a live wire on the stage with
a message full of common sense and
his lecture scintllated with flashes of
keen wit. His subject was The
Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs"
His address was strong plea tor
the development of the intellect.
Showing in the introduction a human
skull he speculated upon the owner,
his life, his failures and successes.
DR.. Cairns made telling points on the
illiteracy of the American @eople as
indicated by the large per cent Of the
soldier boys that could neither read
nor write. He had many illustra-
tions of those who had succeeded
I'm life as well as those that had fail
cd, his stories of the prisoners at
Sinp Sing being especially gripping.
intelligence, heredity, environment,
opportunity, education were some oil
the golden eggs that one could have
and having them ones success in life
was assured. His plea for more wages
for teachers brought out deserved
applause and throughout his address
he was frequently applauded.
The Chautauqua tent on the
school common is a busy place
throughout the dav. On Wednesday
morning, the regular morning pro-
gram of games for children under 10
wears from nine to ten o'clock. and
for boys and girls over ten years
from ten o'clock TO eleven O'Clock
was followed by rehearsal for the
Toyshop pageant at eleven o'clock.
The nageant will be one of the two
main attractions on Friday after
noon. Immediately after the after
noon performance, which concludes
at four o'clock, comes the story hour,
and on Wednesday afternoon, Folk
Tales were told. This recreation is
all under the supervision and direc-
ton of Young women experienced in
the leadership of children. Tomor-
row afternoon comes the great Indian
pow-wow and campfire supner with
the telling of American Indian le-
gends.
