THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
mont, is a director in the First National Bank
of Brattleboro ; F. S. Stranahan, Lieut-Gover-
nor-elect, is vice-president of a bank at St.
Albans.
But there is nothing in it for the Democrats,
as Bradley B. Smalley, who was the defeated
Democratic candidate, is director of a bank in
Burlington, and his running mate, W. B. Viall,
holds a similar position in Ran dell. There were
no third party candidate, no Socialist, Labor
Union or Woman Suffrage candidates, and the
fight must be made, if it is made, by Allen, the
Prohibition candidate. The discovery has not
yet produced any great convulsion at Republi-
can headquarters.
The above, in substance, has gained a wide
notoriety through the Associated Press reports.
The facts in the case are simply these : Col.
Fuller denies that he held an office in a national
bank or an office created by an Act of Congress,
so that these widespread reports have been in-
tended to create, perhaps, a sensational feeling.
Col. Levi K. Fuller was elected Governor of
Vermont by the unanimous vote of the people
of that State. The American people believe in
the justice of a popular vote, and will at all
times stand ready to see the recipient of the
greatest number of votes seated in the office to
which he was elected. Col. Levi K. Fuller will
be the next Governor of Vermont, the office to
which he was elected by the people.
CAPPA MAY GO TO TACOMA.
DESPATCH from Tacoma, Wash., dated
Sept. 27, says Leader Cappa, of the
Seventh Regiment Band, of New York, leaves
for his home in the metropolis next Sunday
night. If plans now under way are carried
through, however, it is probable that he will
soon return to make Tacoma the headquarters
of his famous musical organization.
The scheme is to have a syndicate formed
here with sufficient capital to give the band a
five-years' guarantee for its expenses and salar-
ies. The capital stock of the syndicate, $100,-
000, has already been half subscribed.
A maintained band of sixty-five pieces is to
be provided for, and the idea is to have its sum-
mers spent in Tacoma and in touring along the
Pacific coast. Winters Cappa may spend in
New York or on eastern tours. January 1 is the
date set for the syndicate to be ready for busi-
ness.
THE TUNERS' ASSOCIATION.
HE National Association of Tuners held
their annual meeting for the election of
officers at Royal Arcanum Hall, this city, on
September 28. After the election of officers,
among other matters was considered the pro-
position of Mr. Tourjee, of the New England
Conservatory of Music, to run his "tuning
school " in conjunction with the National Asso-
ciation of Tuners. The members were unani-
mously opposed to accepting Mr. Tourjee's pro-
position, and would not indorse his scheme in
any way. Their reason for this was the belief
that competent tuners could not be turned out
f
171
from any school except the factory and repair
shop. It seems that the Association emphatic-
ally declines to indorse or assist Mr. Tourjee in
establishing his proposed school of tuning in
Chicago in conjunction with the National
Association.
We heartily indorse the Association's action
in this matter, and think they have taken a wise
step. What would prevent Mr. Tourjee adver-
tising such an indorsement broadcast, and gain-
ing pupils by the statement that his institution
was run by practical tuners from the National
Association, and had its indorsement in every
respect ? After gaining his point could he not
then, if he so desired, ignore the Association
altogether ?
