"Dry. Candidate.

Boston, Sept. 2s.-John A. Nichols
Of this city, accepting nomination as
the prohibition candidate for United
States Senator. to-day said Senator
Lodge, Republican candidate for re-
election. was steadfast opponent of
prohibition and Colonel William A.
CASTOR, the Democratic nominee, is
practically in the same position.
Mr.. Nichols, in his letter of accept
ance to the prohibition state commit
tee, which nominated him, said he
voted in the primaries for Joseph
Walker, who was defeated for the Re-
publican nomination by Senator Lodge.
The latter, he said, was ian able man,
of unquestioned ability but added
that s'in addition to his attitude on
prohibition, he has also opposed for
long years the granting of equal suf-
frage rights to women. Also the di-
rect election of United States senators
met with his firm opposition. His
type of craftsmanship is certainly OF
the reactionary kind"

NO. BARRE GR.C co
CHANGES HANDS
Alex. Duncan and B. Luc-
china Sell to Debitteto
Brothers
WHO HAVE ALREADY !
TAKEN POSSESSION
Sale Includes Considerable
Real Estate in Addition
To Plant

The sale Of the North Barre Granite
Co. plant, business, goodwill and real
estate--by the owners, Alexander
Duncan and Battista Lucchina, TO De
bitetto brothers, consisting Of Frank
Nicholas and Domenico Debitetto, was
announced to-day, the transfer inyoly-
ing one Of the largest business changes
recently made. Debitetto brothers
have already taken possession of the
property, retained the name of North
Barre Granite Co. and started in bust
ness at the plant on Railroad street.
They are members Of the Barre Gran
ite Manufacturers association.
The sale means the retirement, tenn
porarily at least, of two men who have
been connected with the Barre granite
industry for long time. Mr. Duncan
went into business back in 1903 and
two years later Mr.. Lucchina became
associated in business with him, the
two remaining ever since 1895 under
the firm name Of the North Barre
Granite Co. Al the result Of their
combined efforts the North Barre
Granite Co. has built up an enyiable
name for substantial business methods
and fine work, some of the best pieces
of carving in Barre granite having
gone out from the plant. In fact, the
concern is one Of the best known. al
though not one Of the largest, in the
Barre district.
Mcssrs. Duncan and Lucchina have
not announced their intentions regard
ing future business associations but
state that they will take vacation
for time. They both have been so
closely connected with the life OF the
that their permanent re-
tirement from business would mean
severe loss To the industry.
The Debitetto brothers have not
been in business for themselves very
long but they have already given evil
ience Of being very progressive and
active. Lately they have been doing
business at stoneshed off Blackwell
street Purchase of the North Barre
Granite Co. will give them fine OPP
for the expansion Of their
sfforts.
The manufacturing plant Of the
located on Railroad street, is
I73 feet long and 73 feet wide and Is
well equipped with modern machinery,
including a travelling derrick, boom

wheels and various other accessories

American Women Wear Clothes Best, Declares
 Wid0W Of Englishmar
Lady Henry Thinks, However, That Beautiful Englishwoman Shines Wherever She May Be. American Business Mans Comparison of Eng fish and American Womens Dress

LONDON, Jan. 11.-Although the American woman can wear her clothes to better advantage than the average English woman the latter shines wherever she may be, accord ing to Lady Henry, an American-b born woman who is the widow of an Eng lishman Her criticism was occa- stoned by reports from the United States that American fashion au- thorities were saying that Ameri- can women looked startlingly trig and smart in England, where there are no feminine complexions worth speaking of
 "I think said Lady Henry, that so much depends on the individual. Personally, I think beautiful Eng lishwoman shines wherever she may be.
 VALUE OF PERSONALITY
 But, in any case, I do not think that clothes count for as much now adays as they did before the war. English women who did war work are, perhaps, not so super-particular about their clothes as they were. think they have found out that more depends on personality than on clothes.
 Another point is that so many of the American women one sees are merely passing through from one place to another. Naturally they wear the kind of clothes which are
