Charles A. Prouty received the nomination of the Democratic, Progressive, and Prohibition parties for United States senator from Vermont, besides the support of many Republicans on a non-partisan basis, but the return of the state to its normal Republican position was so thorough that he failed of an election by a small margin.
Quincy A. Myers was Republican candidate for re-election as judge of the Supreme Court of Indiana, but was unsuccessful, though running far ahead of most of his associates on the ticket.
A recent issue of the National Economist says: "On retiring from the presidency of the National Fraternal Congress of America, Hon. W. H. Powers was unanimously elected a member of the Executive Committee of that body. Few men have ever retired from a place of trust and responsibility with higher honors. . . . The executive ability and parliamentary knowledge of Brother Powers, acquired through long experience in the legal and political world, enabled him to handle the affairs of his office with skill and success. He is a lawyer of acknowledged ability and success, a man of pleasing personality, and a counselor and friend to be desired by any man."
Secretary, Henry W. Stevens, Concord, N. H.
