CAPT. RANSOM GORE DEAD.
Commanded Company A, r4th Vermont
Volunteers, in Civil War.

Capt. Ransom o. Gore, Sc, almost a
lifelong resident and during his carly
manhood and middle age one of the prom
inent citizens of Bennington, died Sun
dav night at his farm in the eastern sec
ton of the town. Until recently he had
been in remarkably good health, consid-
ering his advanced age.
Captain Gore commanded Company A
of the 14th Vermont regiment of volun-
teers, which was recruited in the towns
of Bennington, Woodford and POwnal.
Notwithstanding the fact that the com
pany Went into the service l0l strong in
1862 and took part in the battle of Get
tysburg and notwithstanding the fact
that every one Of the l0l survived his
enlistment period, there are but few
survivors living today.
Captain Gore was one of the oldest, If
not the oldest member of the company.
He received three slight wounds at the
battle of Gettysburg from flying pieces
of shell. Two other members of the com
pany were wounded but only one Sc
| riously. .,- --
Captain Gore enlisted in Bennington
| August 81, 1862, and was discharged at
| Bratt1eboro August 80, l843. After his
discharge he was offered commission as
captain, but at the time members of his
! family were i'll of typhoid fever and he
| felt justified in declining.
| Captain Gore was born March "a, 1884,
at Guilford. His parents We're Ezekal
| Gore, jr., of Halifax and Salma Stodard
native of West Brattleboro. The fam
| lily went to Bennington from Brattleboro
and first lived at the boarding house con
nected with the iron furnaces then In
operation at what is now locally known
as Furnace Grove.
During the larger part of his boyhood
and young manhood Captain Gore lived
with his grandmother, Mary Stoddard
widow of Jacob Stoddard, Revolution
larry soldier. She bought so acres of land
on the south side of the road where there
was house standing on the present site
OF the large barn. This purchase was
made in 1887. Additions were made to
the farm by Captain Gore. A large
house on the property was burned mum.
Der of years ago.
i Captain Gore is survived by son, 10.
II seph Gore, and daughter, Mrs Horace
4 w Becker, who lived on the farm.
i The funeral will be held at Park Lawn
chapel Wednesday afternoon.

 The fact is that this stage there Is nothing worth while hear; is early One hears only what he to hear; what he Fnsgines.
 Republicans have to believe. not from developments of the campaign however, that Hard ing will be elected That belief is based the fact that normally there republicans than demo- crats in the country; internal dis satisfaction within democratic party than within the republican party; that the people generally dissatisfied and want a change; that therefore the independent vote and especially, the farmer vote. is more likely be cast for the republican than the felt and not be heard

The Republican Primary

Though the county registration is not complete. there is far registration of republicans in this county primary election than ever before Hitherto republicans of Maricopa have had little in centive pre-primary activity. There were no contests within the party and the republicans over felt that they were so outnumbered in the county effort useless. except they might direct it towards making choice of democratic candidates at the democratic primary. Hence many of them registered democrats. Many did not ister at all It is different We believe and think that thoughtful republicans generally be- lieve, that the county is really republican Beside that there is spirited contest in the party for the nomination for United States senator with a strong hope that the democratic primary will make it sible for the republican nominee elected. It is also certain county make the nomination; that much than onethird of the republican vote of the state is in Maricopa
 Awakened. feel the republicans of Maricopa will be a week from next Tuesday foresee such outpouring at the republican pri mary as witnessed
 But it will be accomplished by the earnest work of only a part of the republicans a large number are always prone to neglect this most important thing in the whole privilege of suffrage not the ton of any candidate but the choosing of the best candidate.
 And they be reasonably that the can- didates whom they choose will he elected. There is an unusual disclosed by registration. That is that though the republican registration is much heavier than before. there is heavy independent registration, nearly 4ooo. It is sup posed to be made up largely of democrats who dissatisfied if they not desert their ticket in its entirety will support of the republican candidates.
 In this situation every republican and wo- man should that all their republican neighbors attend the primary. There should be as nearly as possible solid republican registered vote east that day.
