Johnsbury and John Gale of Guilford Windham County member of the state committee Plans for an active campaign were discussed While the nominee is confident of polling a large vote he also realizes the odds he must combat in a strong republican state He wanted his supporters to help put over to the public the fact that if elected he will undertake to give the state a business administration also warned them that the campaign must be conducted on a high plane as lie said he had a high personal regard for the republican nominee Judge John Weeks of Middlebury When asked how the prohibitionists happened to indorse the democratic ticket instead of the republican ticket Mr Comings said he thought it was because they recognized that the prohibition question was not a state issue and because some of h(s close friends in the party had first hand knowledge of state business through his service as commissioner of finance through two republican administrations DIVORCES HEARD AT COUNTY COURT

grandmother of Calvin Coolidge This man had one failing and that was he was always in a law suit with some one He had a long suit with the town of Plymouth over piece of land It must have cost several thousand dollars He finally won out I have seen the land and If a man wanted it ever so much he would not have given over fifty dollars for it If he had he would have been considered a fit subject for an insane asylum This man lived in the times when a barrel of New England rum was considered a household necessity and the Esq always had a stock on hand They used to tell that when he was about to have a law suit he would lay in for some witness He would say to his man: you remem ber you was along here you remember Mr So and So said to me I remember us he come in a minute Gale of Guilford Windham coun ty member of the Democratic state committee The Democratic county committee met in Brattleboro Saturday ultor-noon and nominated a couuty ticket which was at once filed with the county

annual conference in St Johnsbury September 29 with 186 delegates present from 30 out of the 32 chapters in Vermont Mrs Edgar Brown regent of the St Johnsbury chapter welcomed the delegates and State Vice-Regent Mrs Charles Greer of Newbury responded An address by Hollister Jack-son of Barre on was followed by a reception at the home of Mr and Mrs David Conant The day was largely given up to greetings from sister societies and reports of officers and oommittees Mrs Horace Farnham of Montpelier the only national officer present spoke on the library work of the society and was made honorary president for life at the suggestion of the Montpelier chapter The Bellows FalLs chapter presented the State society with a piece of wood from the Westminster court house where the first drop of blood was shed in the Revolution War These officers were elected: Jen nie A Valentine of Bennington chaplain Mrs Mills of Montpelier recording secretary Mrs George Welch of Bellows Falls corresponding secretary Mrs Barker of St Albans treasurer Mrs A Norton of Vergennes auditor Mrs Lemuel Richmond of Randolph historian Miss Abbie Clark of Randolph librarian The next meeting will be held with the Springfield chapter Tlie State regent Mrs Katherine Kittredge of Springfield who presided was elected last year for three years I A movement has been started for a five-day week of work and going to be hard on some of the boys if they are compelled to put in that much time HOW TO RAISE MONEY FOR FIFTY MILES HARD ROADS During the recent campaign the state enjoyed the spectacle of three candidates for governor hustling for votes on the ground that they would do their utmost for improved roads Privately and not to let it go any farther It Is the opinion of The Banner that all three platforms were a trifle feeble in that they did not propose to raise enough money to do the road job that each and all tlie candidates favored Now here is a plan to raise the money needed to build fifty miles of concrete road a year There are only two items and both of them are taxes on luxuries One is to tax the voters who do not go to the polls except those who are detained by Illness or necessary absence from the state Second tax the greatly increased number of liquor dealers distillers and brewers that have developed under national prohibition in Vermont These proposals are made In good faith and not In levity The citizen who doesn't vote is seizing the luxury of shirking a job A small tax for the road fund would make the luxury pay a handsome revenue A tax on the liquor dealers is a perfectly fair way of raising revenue There are thousands of dealers and manufacturers in Vermont Without any argument over the issue it is clear to nnyone that there is so much public sentiment in favor of these dealers that juries do not and ordinarily will not convict It does not however require as much evidence to tax a man as it does to send him to jail and we do not think the bootleggers themselves would object to a moderate tax if the money went for roads No one needs good roads more urgently on certain occasions We offer this plan to the Republicans without hope of reward If they refuse it we shall send it privately to the Democrats in a plain Bennington Banner If no other way can be found to collect that European debt we know a few American installment houses that might be able to gqt the money WINDSOR COUNTY FARM NOTES Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the Windsor County Farm Bureau will be held October 13 1926 in the Grange Hall Norwich Vt The morning session is to

of the Democratic state convention were like those of the preceding Republican state convention entirely harmonious and in strict accord with the program made out in advance by the party leaders The only departure from the cut and dried arrangements came in the speech of Francis Clyde Keefe young attorney of Dover accepting the party nomination as congressional candidate in the First District The party platform just adopted had contained a plank But Mr Keefe stated his personal position on prohibition as follows: liquor problem is the greatest question before the American people today That the sellng and drinking of liquor is increasing a I around us will be admitted by all who are not blind or foolish A- merica must be delivered from the -bootleggers and the professional i prohibitionists and my fight will be I against that combination now have in this country an alcoholic la istocracy made up of people of wealth or influence who have all the liquor they wish to drinb The curse of rum
