Senator Harding Flatly Denies He Sent
Ambassador to Nicholai Lenine.
washington, Oct. 27.-The state de-
,paFtnnent was today confronted with
Senator Harding's flat denial of the
statement of Secretary Colby, in which
it was asserted Washington D. Van
derlip. who recently secured trade
concessions from the soviet govern
ment, was an agent of the Republican
nominee.
The statement said, according to a
report from the United states eon-
suiar agent at Riga, Vanderlip told
Lenine he represented Harding and
made certain proposals regarding the
recognition of the Bolshevist govern
ment."
Harding promptly denied he had
ever heard of NaRderlip. 1t was con-
sidered doubtful today that the state
departm would say anything fur
Their about it.

Frederick n. Babhtt Refutes Charges
Made from the Platform by
Frank w. Agan.

Burlington. Aug. 27-Speaking be-
fore the most sizeable audience which
has yet turned out at chamber of
commerce luncheons to hear guber-
material candidate here, Frederick II.
Bahbitt of Bellows Falls again yester-
day called attention to the fact that
Frank Agan OF Ludlow, generally con
ceded to be his principal opponent in
the race, has appropriated in effect
several of the cardinal platform
points of Mr.. Babbitt as announced
simultaneously with his candidacy
just prior to March /.
My friend, Mr. Again with good
deal of political dexterity, stepped
from his own platform onto
mine declared Mr. Babhitt. "He is
now telling the public cf his belief in
the modification of the Nolstead act
and has forgotten about ripping ii
bodily from the constitution, He is
advocating the return of the little red
school house and has copied its entire
ly from my original announcement
made just pricr to March / OF my pro-
gram for the building, controlling and
maintaining of trunk line roads
Charges made on the platform by
Mr. Agan that his opponents had
promised offices galore in the event
of their election brought forth an EN-
phatic denial from Mr. Babbitt. He
declared that he had not and would
not promise a ngle oftice to any one
and he invited any of his opponents
to prove that the contrary was true.
Mr. Babbitt reiterated his belief
that neither rivers or liquor nor a
machine shop on every hill would
solve the problem of Vermont's future
prosperity and happiness. He de.
clared that there was no one feature
CT state development which should re-
ceive marked preference over all Others
but rather we should strive for a well
balanced development.
