The retirement of Mr. Baer will

resumed his. law studies and was admitted
to the bar in 1865.
In 1870 Mr. Baer, who had already
attained prominence In his profession
though not yet tbirty years
old, prosecuted an action for damages
against the Reading Railroad
so sbly And successfully that he was
made counsel for the railroad company.
In this position he was able
to extend the field of his operations,
and so successfully did he embrace
the opportunities offered to him, that
be soon became an important factor
in many industrial and financial en
r. .^V. oiywmi; iU turn Willing
companies.
For a considerable time Mr. Baer
was the confidential adviser of J.
Plerpont Morgan. The two co-operated
in the plan to unite under one
management all the coal-carrying
railroads with terminals in New
York city. When the reorganisation
took place In 1901 Mr. Baer was
elected president of the Reading
Company, the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company, the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron
Company and the Central Railroad
'Company of New Jersey.
In dvery strike and labor trouble
i in the anthracite coal field during
the past decade Mr. Baer has directed
the fight in behalf of the operators.
He waged the great fight for
the mlqp owners in 1902 and when a
general strike was again threatened
upon the expiration of the wage
scale last spring it was Mr. Baer
who negotiated an amicable agree-1
ment with the United Mine Workers.

The close race between the three pai

Republicans' First Failure.
The failure of the Republican can
dldate for governor to obtain a ma
jorlty for the first time In the histor:
of the Sta^e in an election precedlni
a presidential election causes thi
election of the State's executive to b<

the Progressive vote was the tyatur<
for representative. ( The strength ol
of the election. The Democrats alsc
increased their vote over two yean
ago. The falling off in the Republican
vote was marked. Indication!
were that a great part of the defection
went to the Progressive, although
the Democrats also gained
'V ot th?
went to the Prohibition ticket.
Progressives Encouraged.
Comparison of returns for five ol
the fourteen counties show that the
Democrats carried Caledonia county
and the Republicans were successful
in the Grand Isle, Orange. Washington,
Lamoille counties. The result
of the election la greatly encouraging
to the Progressive party of the
state.
Both Progressive and Democratic
leaders professed to see In the result
a good prospect to defeat the Republicans
In the Presidential election in
November iff Vermont.
The fact that the Republican majority
in Vermont has fallen below
25.660 Is an indication, according to
soma political ohaswer*
Progressive* and Democrats, of the
defeat of the Republican national administration
in November.
No Comment by Taft.

International Congress of Applied
Chemistry and welcome its delegates

Taft expects to stay at the White

upon the election returns in
Vermont.
Vermont Result Pleases Wilson.
Seagirt, N. J., 8ept. 5.?"The fact
that the Democrats more than held
their own in Vermont, a Republican
State, and also made substantial
gains means business throughout the
country," said Governor Wood row
Wilson, today, commenting on the
election results in Vermont.
The Governor said the big Democratic
vote wag "very gratifying." It
was dUficult, however, be said, to
analyse the results in Vermont on
any comparative basis because the
total vote was so much larger this
year than two years ago, and It was
hard to trace the sources of the galas.
At any rats, lis said, the Vermont
election indicated a heavy vote
throughout the country in the coming
election, and ho sold that he regarded
